Purpose: Indigenous peoples are underrepresented in reference genome libraries. Consequently, rare disease diagnosis may require bespoke bioinformatics analyses of genome sequences. Establishing diagnostic cost is crucial to support policy development for equitable rare disease diagnosis.

Background: Despite significant time spent on billing, family physicians routinely make errors and miss billing opportunities. In other disciplines, machine learning models have predicted Current Procedural Terminology codes with high accuracy.
Objective: Our objective was to derive machine learning models capable of predicting diagnostic and billing codes from notes recorded in the electronic medical record.

Background: A new induction therapy strategy of a single 3 mg/kg dose of rabbit antithymocyte globulin (r-ATG) showed a lower incidence of acute rejection.
Methods: The objective of this study was to use real-world data to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of r-ATG induction for the prevention of acute rejection (AR) in the first year following kidney transplantation and for kidney graft survival over 1, 4, and 10 years of post-transplantation from the perspective of the national public healthcare system. A Markov state transition model was developed utilizing real-world data extracted from medical invoices from a single center.

Ewing sarcoma is a very common type of malignant bone tumor among children and adolescents that most frequently develops in long bones of the body and extremities; however, it can also affect other bones such as the skull and scapula in rare cases. In Ewing sarcoma, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs and bones, which indicates a late stage of the disease and is considered a poor prognostic factor. In this paper, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with a painless swelling on his left shoulder that was not associated with other local or systemic symptoms, and with no neurological manifestations.
