Article Abstract
Racial and language minority groups in the U.S. are at a higher risk for morbidity and mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC), partially due to lower screening rates. This is a retrospective cohort study comparing successful multi-target stool DNA test (mt-sDNA) test completion among patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) and English proficient (EP) patients, from 2015 to 2018. Patients with LEP were frequency matched to EP patients by age at a 3:1 ratio. The percentage of mt-sDNA tests without useful results was 53% among patients with LEP compared to 29% among EP patients (p < 0.0001). The median number of days from order placement to test completion was 62.5 among patients with LEP compared to 33 for EP patients (p = 0.003). This study demonstrates a significant disparity in CRC screening completion using the mt-sDNA test among populations with LEP, which may widen existing disparities in CRC mortality.

Wave Speed Mapping as a Complementary Tool for Identifying Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol

Department of Cardiology, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski Province Specialist Hospital, Lublin, Poland.
Introduction: Wave speed (WS) mapping, enabled by omnipolar technology, allows for real-time visualization of local conduction velocity (CV). Its utility in ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has not been fully characterized.
Methods And Results: We describe a case series of patients undergoing VT ablation in which WS mapping was applied alongside established techniques such as peak frequency (PF) mapping and isochronal late activation mapping (ILAM).
Integration of SuFEx and Sonogashira Cross-Coupling for the Synthesis of Structurally Diverse Aryl Acetylenes on DNA.

To address the current limitations of DNA-compatible Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions capable of accommodating a broad range of commercially available phenolic building blocks (BBs), an SuFEx-Sonogashira cross-coupling protocol has been developed. This protocol involves the conversion of readily accessible phenolic compounds into the corresponding aryl fluorosulfates within 96-well microplates via a highly efficient liquid-phase SuFEx reaction, followed by Sonogashira cross-coupling with DNA-conjugated terminal alkynes.

Introduction: Iatrogenic lead perforation is a rare but serious complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Evidence on percutaneous management of subacute or delayed cases remains limited.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 38 patients treated for iatrogenic lead perforation between January 2012 and October 2024.
Implementation of a midwifery preceptor program in Sierra Leone: a qualitative evaluation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

Background: Sierra Leone has the world's third highest incidence of maternal mortality, with 443 deaths per 100,000 live births. Strengthening the country's midwifery workforce is essential to providing adequate maternal healthcare and reducing preventable perinatal mortality. In support of this goal, we developed and implemented a midwifery preceptor program (MPP) to train experienced midwives to effectively mentor new and student midwives.

Introduction: Medical physicists play a critical role in ensuring image quality and patient safety, but their routine evaluations are limited in scope and frequency compared to the breadth of clinical imaging practices. An electronic radiologist feedback system can augment medical physics oversight for quality improvement. This work presents a novel quality feedback system integrated into the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) at a university hospital system, designed to facilitate feedback from radiologists to medical physicists and technologist leaders.
