Article Abstract

EvalHCID is a clinical decision support system integrating outbreak intelligence, symptom onset, and epidemiologic risk factors to identify high consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) (eg, Ebola). Tested among 20 emergency department (ED) providers, it significantly reduced assessment time, lowered misclassification, and scored "excellent" usability. EvalHCID may improve institutional preparedness and patient outcomes for emerging infectious disease threats.

Background: The spread of misinformation on social media poses significant risks to public health and individual decision-making. Despite growing recognition of these threats, instruments that assess resilience to misinformation on social media, particularly among families who are central to making decisions on behalf of children, remain scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel instrument that measures resilience to misinformation in the context of social media among parents of school-age children.

Importance: Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people have irrational biases, which make them susceptible to decisional shortcuts, or heuristics. The extent to which physicians consciously might use nudges to exploit these heuristics and thereby influence their patients' decision-making is unclear. In addition, ethical questions about the conscious use of nudges in medicine persist, yet little is known about how physicians experience and perceive their use.

Nuanced Public Support for Rationing Treatments by Withdrawing and Withholding Due to Negative Reimbursement Decisions.

J Bioeth Inq

September 2025

Swedish National Centre for Priorities in Health, Department of Health, Medicine, and Caring Sciences, Linköping University, 581 83, Linköping, Sweden.

When treatments are deemed not to be cost-effective and face non-reimbursement, policymakers in publicly funded healthcare systems may decide to ration treatments by withholding it from future patients. However, they must also address a critical question: should they also ration treatments by withdrawing it from patients already having access to the treatment, or is there an ethical difference between withdrawing and withholding treatments? To explore this question, we conducted a behavioural experiment (n=1404), examining public support for withdrawing and withholding treatments in reimbursement decisions across eleven different circumstances. Overall, public support for rationing by withdrawing and withholding was low, with no general perceived difference between withdrawing and withholding treatments.

Background: Bone marrow (BM) lesion differentiation remains challenging, and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may enhance accuracy over conventional methods. We evaluated the diagnostic value and inter-reader reliability of Dixon-based signal drop (%drop) and fat fraction percentage (%fat) as adjuncts to existing protocols.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective two-center study, 172 patients with BM signal abnormalities underwent standardized 1.
