Dynamic connectivity detection: an algorithm for determining functional connectivity change points in fMRI data.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Xu Y, Lindquist MA.
PMID: 26388711
Front Neurosci. 2015 Sep 04;9:285. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2015.00285. eCollection 2015.

Recently there has been an increased interest in using fMRI data to study the dynamic nature of brain connectivity. In this setting, the activity in a set of regions of interest (ROIs) is often modeled using a multivariate Gaussian...

A survey of practices for the use of electronic health records to support research recruitment.

Journal of clinical and translational science

Obeid JS, Beskow LM, Rape M, Gouripeddi R, Black RA, Cimino JJ, Embi PJ, Weng C, Marnocha R, Buse JB.
PMID: 29657859
J Clin Transl Sci. 2017 Aug;1(4):246-252. doi: 10.1017/cts.2017.301.

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide great promise for identifying cohorts and enhancing research recruitment. Such approaches are sorely needed, but there are few descriptions in the literature of prevailing practices to guide their use. A multidisciplinary workgroup was formed...

Transition to adulthood and adult health care for patients with sickle cell disease or cystic fibrosis: Current practices and research priorities.

Journal of clinical and translational science

Lanzkron S, Sawicki GS, Hassell KL, Konstan MW, Liem RI, McColley SA.

INTRODUCTION: A growing population of adults living with severe, chronic childhood-onset health conditions has created a need for specialized health care delivered by providers who have expertise both in adult medicine and in those conditions. Optimal care of these...

Explaining racial/ethnic differences in all-cause mortality in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA): Substantive complexity and hazardous working conditions as mediating factors.

SSM - population health

Fujishiro K, Hajat A, Landsbergis PA, Meyer JD, Schreiner PJ, Kaufman JD.
PMID: 29349240
SSM Popul Health. 2017 May 14;3:497-505. doi: 10.1016/j.ssmph.2017.05.010. eCollection 2017 Dec.

Research on racial/ethnic health disparities and socioeconomic position has not fully considered occupation. However, because occupations are racially patterned, certain occupational characteristics may explain racial/ethnic difference in health. This study examines the role of occupational characteristics in racial/ethnic disparities...
