Epidemiology of Cancer‐Associated Venous Thromboembolism Across the United States

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior epidemiological studies on cancer‐associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) were limited by homogenous patient populations. We leverage Cosmos, a collaborative dataset of Epic electronic health record systems, to conduct an updated evaluation of cancer‐associated VTE in the United States (US).

Inflation, Race, and Legislation—The Erosion in the Real Value of Monetary Compensation for Miners' Occupational Lung Disease in South Africa, 1973–2024

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background For much of the 20th century, the South African mining industry had a statutory compensation system for pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis characterized by gross racial inequality. This study examines the impact of inflation over the period 1973–2024 on the real value of miners' lung disease compensation, including the effect of the ...

Rasāyana and Rasaśāstra in the Persian Medical Culture of South Asia

History of Science in South Asia, 2019
In this article, I suggest that looking at the entangled issues of the creation of a new field of knowledge and the interaction with Others’ learning allows for a more accurate understanding of how Persian medical studies have developed and adapted to ...

Sequencing and analysis of a South Asian-Indian personal genome

BMC Genomics, 2012
BackgroundWith over 1.3 billion people, India is estimated to contain three times more genetic diversity than does Europe. Next-generation sequencing technologies have facilitated the understanding of diversity by enabling whole genome sequencing at ...

Patient Perspectives on Psychiatric Polygenic Risk Scores in Reproductive Decision‐Making and Polygenic Embryo Screening

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polygenic risk scores (PRS) estimate individuals' genetic risk for developing multifactorial conditions. Recent genome‐wide association studies have enabled development of psychiatric PRS, which hold potential to streamline diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions.

Ethnicity and the surgical management of early invasive breast cancer in over 164 000 women

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This large national study examined in detail the patterns in surgical management of early breast cancer in women of different ethnicities. Allowing for different patterns of age and stage at presentation, the surgical management of early breast cancer was similar in all women, regardless of ethnicity. All treated the same Background Limited information

A Population‐Based Assessment of Cancer Risk in Children With VACTERL

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cancer risk in children with VACTERL, a nonrandom co‐occurrence of ≥ 3 defects (vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophogeal fistula, renal, and limb), remains unclear. We evaluated this association in a population‐based study. We analyzed data from the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Study, a US registry linkage ...

Platelet reactivity among Asian Indians and Caucasians

Platelets, 2007
Asian Indians are reported to have higher mortality and morbidity from coronary artery disease (CAD) than other ethnic groups. This variation in events cannot be explained only by differences in conventional risk factors. Platelet activation is an important factor in the pathogenesis of CAD, however, there are limited data concerning platelet ...

Denial of Inpatient Genetic Testing: A Study on Outpatient Yield and Outcomes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic conditions suspected in children often require genetic testing for accurate diagnoses, but testing remains costly. Case management teams review genetic test requests to improve access for patients while reducing the financial burden for medical institutions.
