Article Abstract

There is a critical need to support patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), especially during their young adulthood, to help maintain lifelong care with adult CHD specialists. The near ubiquitous use of digital tools, especially among the young adults, offers potential solutions to develop effective, scalable, accessible, and sustainable strategies to support these patients. This study describes the development of a digital tool using the combination of theory-based behavioral analysis, semi-structured interviews with 54 patients and clinicians, and community-based participatory research approaches. Four hopes for the digital tool emerged: easy access to credible resources, uplifting of patient voices, customizing to patient needs, and centering positivity and joy. The digital tool, named by community partners as Empower My Congenital Heart (EmpowerMyCH), is web- and mobile-based, Apple- and Android-compatible. Key intervention components include a digital medical passport, expert and peer advice, and peer support. EmpowerMyCH redefines how we support patients to be actively involved in their care and could potentially reduce some care gaps.

Purpose: Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare benign pulmonary neoplasm originating from the bronchial mucosal epithelium and mimics lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) both radiographically and microscopically. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for distinguishing BA from LAC by integrating clinical characteristics and artificial intelligence (AI)-derived histogram parameters across two medical centers.

Methods: This retrospective study included 215 patients with diagnoses confirmed by postoperative pathology from two medical centers.

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) enhance patient-centered care but routine implementation in oncology settings remains challenging. This study seeks to explore patients' experiences with routine PROM integration within a health care setting with employed strategies to maximize uptake and inclusivity.

Methods: A qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach was conducted at the National Cancer Centre Singapore.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the differences in eye movement characteristics between first reading and rereading and to develop a neural network model for classifying these reading practices. The primary goal was to enhance the understanding of rereading identification and provide insights into assessing students' text familiarity.

Methods: We compared eye movement metrics during first reading and rereading, focusing on parameters such as total reading time, fixation duration, regression size, regression count, and local eye movement behaviors within areas of interest (AOIs).
