Article Abstract
Embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) are conducted during routine clinical care and have the potential to increase knowledge about the effectiveness of interventions under real world conditions. However, many pragmatic trials rely on data from the electronic health record (EHR) data, which are subject to bias from incomplete data, poor data quality, lack of representation from people who are medically underserved, and implicit bias in EHR design. This commentary examines how the use of EHR data might exacerbate bias and potentially increase health inequities. We offer recommendations for how to increase generalizability of ePCT results and begin to mitigate bias to promote health equity.

Background: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) has been proposed as an efficient, non-invasive biomarker of muscle composition in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
Objective: We investigate whether EIM parameters are associated with muscle structure measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), muscle histology, and transcriptomic analysis as well as strength at the individual leg muscle level.
Methods: We performed a multi-center cross-sectional study enrolling 33 patients with FSHD.

Introduction: Pharmacological therapies for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) are useful, but many patients report dissatisfaction from a lack of efficacy and occurrence of adverse events. The vibrating capsule (VC) is an FDA approved non-pharmacologic, treatment for CIC. However, its long-term usefulness in a community setting is unknown.

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-derived plaque burden is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events and is expected to be used in clinical practice. Understanding the normative values of computed tomography-based quantitative plaque volume in the general population is clinically important for determining patient management.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the distribution of plaque volume in the general population and to develop nomograms using MiHEART (Miami Heart Study) at Baptist Health South Florida, a large community-based cohort study.
