Poor health literacy and patient comprehension have been associated with adverse health outcomes. Patient educational materials (PEMs) are articles that are intended to assist patients in their understanding of a given medical condition. Given that the average American adult reads at the 8th grade level, the American Medical Association and the Center for Disease Control recommend PEM be written at the 6th grade level. However, literature has found the majority of PEMs to be written significantly higher than the 8th grade level. In order to improve their readability, a number of studies have displayed the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT to simplify the text of a given PEM. Despite the improvement in readability, the effectiveness of these simplified PEMs on improving patient comprehension of the AI augmented material has yet to be investigated. The purpose of our study is to test whether the improvement in readability found in AI-simplified PEMs corresponds to a greater understanding of the material compared to the original PEM. Understanding if AI-simplified PEM truly improves comprehension could further support this use case for AI and aid providers and healthcare organizations in improving the health literacy of their patients. This study aims to answer the following question: Do AI simplified PEMs improve the comprehension of pediatric orthopaedic conditions? Researchers will compare AI-simplified PEMs to their original, unmodified counterparts in order to see if there is any difference in post reading comprehension of the participants. Participation in the study will include: - A brief baseline survey (e.g. demographics and educational attainment) - A randomly assigned reading of either the original PEM or the AI simplified version. - A 10 question post-reading multiple choice quiz

Germline testing for hereditary cancer syndromes is underutilized across most health care settings. Using a learning health care approach, the Genomics-enabled Learning Health Systems (gLHS) network aims to evaluate the impact of a suite of implementation strategies to increase germline test ordering by oncology care teams (i.e., mainstreaming) for eligible patients with breast, pancreatic or colorectal cancer. Secondarily, the study will investigate completion of testing by eligible patients, as well as impact on overall rates of germline test ordering in patients with cancer. The network will bundle and deploy different implementation strategies across the clinical sites in three 6-month phases. A maintenance phase after the implementation periods will measure genetic testing rates without any additional implementation strategies to determine persistence of effects. The implementation strategies address clinician-level factors, and thus oncologists and their team members (e.g. advanced practice providers, nurse navigators, case managers) will be the focus of evaluating the impact of implementation strategies. Strategies that will be considered include provider education, audit and feedback reports, facilitation, peer support, and electronic health record (EHR) system optimization to support germline testing. Using the RE-AIM QuEST framework, outcomes will be assessed using mixed methods separately for each eligible cancer type. Data collection from the EHR, other relevant data sources, and qualitative provider feedback will be used to assess ordering and completion of tests and the effect of the implementation strategies on germline testing rates in oncology clinics.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how tests undertaken by people at high risk of developing psychosis (aged 17 to 30 years old) change when those people are given the study drug MT1988 daily for 8 weeks. This will help identify tests that could be used in later trials developing treatments for symptoms in people at high risk of developing psychosis, to measure whether those new treatments are effective. The main question this trial aims to answer is: Can any of the tests (biomarkers) used in this study detect changes in participants dosed with one of two different dose levels of MT1988? Researchers will compare the results from two dose levels of MT1988 to a placebo group. Researchers do not expect to see the test results change in participants taking placebo and this will be compared to changes expected in test results in participants taking MT1988. Participants will: - take a dose of MT1988 or placebo twice per day for 8 weeks - attend clinic appointments every two weeks to undertake assessments - report any side effects they experience to the researchers

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of a natural dietary supplement, Inno Cleanse™, to reduce bloating in a population of otherwise healthy men and women, who claim to feel frequently bloated. Inno CleanseTM dietary supplement is manufactured in the United States under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and is marketed by InnoSupps as a digestive health aid. It is sold in the United States on the company's website, Amazon, and in many large retail outlets. It remains a very popular product, with close to 1.4 million units sold since 2020, with a reported 66,000 units sold in the past three months. Despite the prevalence of dietary supplements identifying as digestive aids, detoxification, and cleanses, very little research has been done to determine their effectiveness. The product appears to be well-designed, with multiple ingredients included which have scientific evidence of effectiveness. That said, and despite the overall positive reviews, there is no known clinical research to support the product's effectiveness. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Inno Cleanse product to reduce bloating and result in other positive outcomes (weight loss). This study will be run as a double-blind placebo-controlled trial, in which subjects will use the product or placebo for two weeks. It is hypothesized that treatment with the dietary supplement Inno Cleanse will result in reduced bloating, as evidenced by self-reported reductions in bloating and hunger, as well as moderate weight loss and a reduction in body circumference measures due to the reduced bloating. In addition, multiple anecdotal reports of improved skin health have been noted in those using the product. Additionally, routine blood and urine sample analysis will be performed as a secondary outcome, as a safety measure.

Pneumonia is a major cause of illness and death in children, with an annual incidence of about 3.3 per 1,000 in those under five years old, many requiring hospitalization. The diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of a universally accepted gold standard, leading to variability in emergency settings. Current guidelines recommend diagnosis based on history and physical examination, which do not reliably differentiate pneumonia from other respiratory infections or identify whether it is bacterial or viral in nature. This uncertainty can lead to the unnecessary use of antibiotics. Commonly used chest X-rays have limitations such as low sensitivity, moderate interobserver reliability, and the inability to distinguish bacterial from viral pneumonia. In contrast, lung ultrasound has shown high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing pneumonia in children. However, lung ultrasound also cannot reliably distinguish between bacterial and viral causes and might lead to increased antibiotic prescriptions by detecting minor lung consolidations not seen on chest X-rays. Despite these issues, lung ultrasound is widely used in pediatric pulmonary assessment. The primary objective of the study is to determine if using lung ultrasound for diagnosing pneumonia in children can reduce antibiotic prescriptions compared to the standard care approach-which mainly relies on clinical diagnosis (often supplemented by chest X-ray and blood tests in selected cases). The secondary objective is to assess how frequently lung ultrasound impacts management decisions during a single clinical visit, beyond the information provided by history and physical examination. The third objective is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound-supported diagnosis with existing diagnostic methods. The study hypothesizes that lung ultrasound results can act as a decision modifier, similar to other clinical tools and examination findings. However, a lack of consensus on specific lung ultrasound parameters and their clinical correlations contributes to variability in managing suspected pneumonia, potentially leading to antibiotic overuse. Eligible participants are children aged three to ten years who are in good general condition and clinically stable, presenting with signs and symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection indicative of pneumonia. Exclusion criteria include children outside the specified age range, those recently hospitalized, those who have undergone prior chest imaging, those already on antibiotic therapy, those with severe clinical instability, and those with underlying conditions predisposing them to severe or recurrent pneumonia. These criteria help ensure that the study population represents general pediatric community-acquired pneumonia cases, avoiding biases from high-risk patients. The ultimate goal of this study is to provide evidence on whether lung ultrasound can serve as a reliable tool to guide antibiotic prescriptions, thereby reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the management of pediatric pneumonia.
