Abstract:

A cleft palate team's prescribed regimen requires prompt and continued compliance to meet the objectives of the clinical management and to achieve the best clinical results for the patient. In a previous study (Paynter et al., 1990), we reported an overall compliance rate of 64% for patients seen by a cleft palate team during its first 8 years of operation. After the study, changes in the team's operational procedures were made in an attempt to provide better service, improve patient compliance, and improve the efficiency of the clinic. The purposes of the current clinical investigation were t

Nuclear magnetic resonance is the most accurate and precise technique for measuring LV mass and function in patients with heart disease. Quantitative echocardiography is still the most frequently used means of evaluating abnormalities in LV mass and function in CKD. Anatomically, myocardial hypertrophy can be classified as concentric or eccentric. In concentric hypertrophy, the muscular component of the LV (LV wall) predominates over the cavity component (LV volume).

Abstract:

AbstractThe involvement of the family, friends, and other people who are important to the patient has always been at the centre of any person-centred care process. Following a fragility fracture, many patients want their family and significant others to be involved in their care, both during hospitalisation and after discharge, and it is often expected that families will provide or lead ongoing care after discharge.It is well documented that postoperative functional decline is influenced by a great complexity of factors and that care aimed at preserving patients’ maximum autonomy, improving their perception of their health status, maintaining their social support network, and ensuring healthy living conditions is essential. The introduction of orthogeriatric units has made it possible to reduce the average length of stay and mortality, improve diagnostic accuracy, and reduce the cost of caring for these patients.The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises that the patient’s home is the natural environment in which they can develop their maximum functional and health potential. There is also considerable evidence that educational interventions can effectively contribute to functional recovery and improved patient compliance. Education has also been identified as a key element in the effectiveness of fracture coordination units. Health education aimed at preparing patients and their carers for a safe transition home can help during the first days after discharge from hospital and contribute to a reduction in rehospitalisation and an improvement in functional recovery and quality of life.This chapter will explore the importance of patient and family partnership in healthcare following fragility fracture and the importance of educational support from health professionals to ensure better functional recovery, quality of life and reduction of care-related burden.

Abstract:

Recent advancements in smart medicine and nanotechnology have introduced transformative approaches to managing diabetes mellitus, focusing on enhancing monitoring, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. Smart medicine leverages wearable devices, biosensors, and mobile health applications to enable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems that provide real-time insights into glucose levels and metabolic trends. These systems not only improve patient compliance but also empower individuals with diabetes and their healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding insulin dosing and dietary adjustments. Moreover, nanotechnology has revolutionized drug delivery systems with the development of nano-sized carriers and biomaterials that enhance the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of insulin and other therapeutics. Nanosensors integrated into CGM devices offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity in glucose monitoring, potentially replacing traditional invasive methods with non-invasive alternatives. Additionally, nanotechnology facilitates the development of implantable devices and tissue-engineered constructs aimed at restoring pancreatic function and ameliorating diabetic complications. By integrating smart medicine and nanotechnology, these innovative strategies pave the way for personalized diabetes management, improved treatment outcomes, and enhanced quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.

Abstract:

AbstractAvailability of more effective supportive therapies coupled with emergence of novel antineoplastic agents has facilitated administration of cancer treatments outside the hospital setting. Cancer treatments typically require multiple visits. Accordingly, it can be exhausting for patients and their caregivers who are already under a lot of stress including physical, emotional and financial strain, among others. Infusion centers allow providers to help patients better manage and control their disease and associated symptoms by providing a continuity of care throughout their medical need, enhancing continuity of care and improving compliance. Here, we described the major components required for successful operation of a cancer infusion center. The ultimate goal is to offer a patient-centered experience that improves the overall quality of delivered care at a sustainable cost.

Abstract:

Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, offering convenience, accessibility, and the potential for improved patient outcomes. This chapter explores the critical pillars of telemedicine: compliance, data security, and patient consent. The security challenges in telemedicine, including data breaches and the imperative need for encryption, serve as foundational concerns. Robust security practices, alongside strategies to obtain informed patient consent, are essential to ensure that sensitive medical data is protected and used ethically. Digital transformation brings both advantages and vulnerabilities. While telemedicine enhances efficiency, decision-making, and patient experiences, it also demands a delicate balance between innovation and data protection. In conclusion, the potential of telemedicine is undeniable, but it must be navigated responsibly. This chapter sheds light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in telemedicine and emphasizes the importance of continuous research and adaptability in ensuring patient-centered care in the digital age.

Abstract:

This comparative study examined patient satisfaction and safety across digital medical tourism providers, analyzing data from 256 participants. Key metrics included quality of medical services, safety protocols, patient experiences, post-treatment follow-up, and legal/ethical compliance. Provider A consistently outperformed others, scoring highest in medical service quality (8.4/10), patient satisfaction (8.2/10), and safety protocol compliance (92%). Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences between providers (p&lt;0.05). Recommendations include establishing standardized protocols, enhancing communication channels, and prioritizing legal/ethical adherence. Future guidelines should focus on comprehensive safety measures, robust follow-up care, and cultural sensitivity training. Continuous monitoring through audits and patient feedback is crucial for maintaining high standards. This research highlights the need for improved practices to ensure safer, more satisfactory experiences for patients engaging in digital medical tourism.

Abstract:

Electronic health record (EHR) applications are digital versions of paper-based patients health information. EHR applications are increasingly being adopted in many countries. They have resulted in improved quality in healthcare, convenient access to histories of patient medication and clinic visits, easier follow up of patient treatment plans, and precise medical decision-making process by doctors. EHR applications are guided by measures of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, there have been reported breaches of protected health identifier (PHI) data stored by EHR applications. In many reported breaches, improper use of EHRs has resulted in disclosure of patient's protected health information. The goal of this chapter is to (1) provide an overview of HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (2) summarize recent literature works related to complying with HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (3) map some of the existing vulnerabilities with HIPAA security rules.

Abstract:

Electronic health record (EHR) applications are digital versions of paper-based patients health information. EHR applications are increasingly being adopted in many countries. They have resulted in improved quality in healthcare, convenient access to histories of patient medication and clinic visits, easier follow up of patient treatment plans, and precise medical decision-making process by doctors. EHR applications are guided by measures of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, there have been reported breaches of protected health identifier (PHI) data stored by EHR applications. In many reported breaches, improper use of EHRs has resulted in disclosure of patient's protected health information. The goal of this chapter is to (1) provide an overview of HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (2) summarize recent literature works related to complying with HIPAA security and privacy requirements; (3) map some of the existing vulnerabilities with HIPAA security rules.

Abstract:

Idiopathic scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that affects 2–3% of adolescents. The treatment of scoliosis often requires the use of a rigid brace to align the spine and prevent progression of the deformation. The most common brace, referred to as the Boston brace, has a high success rate in preventing progression of the scoliotic curve. The common root failure is lack of patient compliance in wearing the brace for the prescribed time. This lack in compliance is due to patient discomfort, both physically and emotional, and the patients’ limited ability to perform activities of daily living

Abstract:

Abstract In the United States, hemodialysis treatments commonly use medical-grade stainless needles. However, their rigidity often causes patient discomfort and vascular injury, adversely affecting treatment compliance. This study presents a novel needle fabricated from a thermoplastic polymer blend of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), Polypropylene carbonate (PPC), and Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), designed to transition from a rigid to flexible state at body temperature. Tensile tests of our polymer blend produced a tensile modulus of 1.73 GPa at 24°C and 580 MPa at 37°C, corroborating that the

Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) is a promising alternative to conventional drug delivery approaches, such as oral or injectable routes. In comparison, the primary benefits of TDD include [1]: 1) avoidance of first pass metabolism and other variables associated with the GI tract such as pH changes and gastric emptying time. 2) sustained and controlled delivery over a prolonged period of time. 3) reduction in side effects associated with systemic toxicity. 4) improved patient acceptance and compliance. 5) direct access to targeted or diseased site, e.g. treatment of skin disorders. 6) ease of do

Abstract:

Post-stroke neurorehabilitation is an emerging application field of robotics, aiming to design new treatment systems and protocols based on the use of robotic technology and virtual reality to improve patient recovery after stroke. One goal in this field is to develop robotic therapy devices that are compliant but can still assist weakened patients in making desired movements. It is hypothesized that, in this way, the interaction with the robotic system can maintain patient engagement and effort, and promote and stimulate the motor learning process of the patient. One way that has been propose
