Fear, Vulnerability, and Sacrifice as Factors in ED Use: Ethnographic Research Methods and their Insights
Ethnographic research and social analyses in healthcare settings have long been valued, however their use is not widespread. Qualitative research about patient-centered care makes patients the experts, and providers, policy makers and administrators the students. In this presentation, I discuss a 2015 case study of a 51-year-old low-income Philadelphia man who had two ED visits […]
Single Molecule DNA and RNA Sequencing to Detect Residual Cancer and Clonal Hematopoiesis
Dr. Druley will discuss novel strategies for single molecule DNA and RNA sequencing as a modality for characterization of clonal hematopoiesis and minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in cancer. Despite “deep sequencing,” next-generation platforms have an error rate of 0.5-1.0%, precluding straightforward sequencing for MRD, which requires sensitivity of less than 1:1,000. However, using a […]
Field Trials in Developing Countries: Lessons from the PURE Study
The PURE study assesses environmental, societal, and biological influences on obesity and chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This presentation will describe the setup and execution of this large and complex study; key findings to date; and the possibilities and pitfalls of field-based data collection in developing countries. Dr. Rahman is […]
Endothelial Function in Relatively Healthy Persons: Studies of the Old Order Amish
Endothelial cells are the first layer response to atherosclerotic risk factors. In clinically healthy individuals with no overt disease, Laser Doppler Flowmetry is used to evaluate endothelial function. This presentation will review endothelial cell response to clopidogrel and clopidogrels activation in the body. Last, we will review genetic determinants of endothelial growth factor angiopoietin-2, a […]
Differences in Patient and Physician Perceptions of Care for Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
This talk will focus on data collected from the Landmark Survey, a large survey of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs, namely essential thrombocytosis, primary myelofibrosis, and polycythemia vera) and the providers who take care of patients with MPNs. The Landmark Survey focused on quality of life issues surrounding the diagnosis of MPNs and differences in […]
Engineering Mayo Clinic’s Care Delivery
The healthcare sector is facing major challenges with regards to quality and access to care. The Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering proposed a medicine-engineering partnership to address these challenges. Mayo Clinic’s Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery hosts the Information and Decision Engineering program that translates research and […]
