This document summarizes a study that assessed the knowledge and attitudes of medical residents and fellows in the United States regarding genetic testing for disease biomarkers and precision medicine. A survey of over 3,800 residents found that only about 10% answered genetics questions correctly. While most residents were interested in learning more about precision medicine and genetics testing, over 90% reported that they had not received adequate training. The study concludes that additional training in genetic testing and precision medicine should be incorporated into medical education.

Team Lift: Predicting Medication AdherenceNeil Ryan
Medication adherence is a growing public health concern in the US. It is the extent to which patients are taking medications as prescribed by their healthcare providers. Simply put, are patients eating their pills on time?
We looked at patient data from Medicare part D program released by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services. We built a prediction model to ascertain whether a patient would be adherent based on a variety of social, economic and behavioral aspects.

A Vanderbilt University Medical Center study comparing the current way stroke care is delivered with a redesigned model that better integrates rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities as well as lay health educators who make home visits. A pilot project suggests this new model can decrease hospital length of stay and readmissions, recurrence rates, and lower cost.

Medication non-adherence is a growing concern, as it is increasingly associated with negative health outcomes and higher cost of care. Tackling the burden of non-adherence requires a collaborative, patient-centric approach that considers individual patient needs and results in intelligent interventions that combine high-tech with high-touch.
As COVID-19 continues to affect individuals around the globe, we want to gain a deeper understanding of how the illness impacts IBD patients. That's why researchers created SECURE-IBD, an international pediatric and adult IBD database to monitor and report on outcomes of COVID-19 occurring in IBD patients. This slide deck provides updates on the SECURE-IBD registry as of April 15, 2020.

Breaking the Mold: Fresh Approaches for Treating High-Cost and Chronically Ill Patients
The hospital super-user can eat up almost half of a provider’s resources. But a focus on this population’s overall health – increasing access to primary care, addressing the social determinants of health, for example – is making a big difference. At some institutions, patients who once were routinely admitted to the hospital are now getting care in ambulatory settings, embedded in comprehensive systems of services for primary care and community health. Learn how hospital and health system leaders around the country are managing such transitions, how patients are faring and the outlook for better care and lower costs.

DIVERTICULAR DISEASES-ASSOCIATED COLECTOMY IN URBAN AFRICAN AMERICAN PATIENTS: A HOSPITAL BASED STUDY. S. Ghavimi, H. Brim, H, Ashkorab. Dept. of Medicine and Cancer Center, Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC.
Diverticular Diseases (DD) are generally benign and are primarily detected as incidental finding during routine colonoscopies. However, in certain cases, DD might lead to colectomy.
Method: We reviewed 2400 patients’ files that correspond to DD patients seen at Howard University Hospital from1996 to 2014. Clinical and pathological features of patients that ended up having colectomy were analyzed in details.
Results: Among the 2400 DD cases, there were 59.8% females and 40.2%males, of which 2020 (60%) had diverticulosis while 380 (40%) had diverticulitis. Colectomy was performed in 174 (7.3%) patients of which 112 (64%) had Diverticulosis and 62 (36%) had Diverticulitis. Of the Diverticulosis/Colectomy patients, 92 (82%) had hemorrhage, of which 34 (40%) had massive GI bleeding. Of the Diverticulitis/Colectomy patients, only 14 (23%) had hemorrhage. From the 48 patients without hemorrhage, 31(65%) had recurrent diverticulitis and the remaining 17 (35%) fit the Hinechey Criteria with 5 cases at stage 1, 3 at stage 2, 5 at stage 3 and 4 at stage 4.
Conclusion: This study reveals that a sizable portion of African Americans with DD undergo colectomy due primarily to hemorrhage in diverticulosis patients. Such patients will benefit from periodical FOBT to catch potential massive bleeding at early stages. This applies to diverticulitis patients as well, however, in these patients, recurrence of diverticulitis is the primary indicator for colectomy.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
