In the latest “When I Say…” instalment, microlearning is defined with illustrative examples as a valuable pedagogy characterised by short duration and focused content.Numerous biodegradable Mg-based biomaterials have been developed in recent years because of their outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradation, and mechanical properties. The Mg-based composite is an appropriate candidate for orthopedic implants, such as supporting the fractured bone due to its superb biocompatibility and biodegradation properties. In the present work, a Mg-based biomaterial is developed by incorporating low wt % of alloying elements such as Zn, Ca, Mn, and Sr and ceramic powders such as HAp to improve the biocompatibility and biodegradebility and strengthen the mechanical properties. In this study, the Mg-4Zn-3Ca-1HAp-0.5Mn and Mg-4Zn-2.9Ca-1HAp-0.5Mn-0.1Sr composites are prepared, and the mechanical, microstructure, and in vitro degradation behavior of these composites are studied. The Mg-4Zn-2.9Ca-1HAp-0.5Mn-0.1Sr composite has good mechanical properties and a low uniform in vitro degradation rate (0.587 mm/year). From the dynamic mechanical analysis, it is found that the composites have better damping characteristics than the pure Mg. The composites are chosen for further evaluation. All the composites show no cytotoxicity to MG63 cells. The composite having Sr with PVA/ZrO2 coating showed the highest cell viability. On the basis of the above observation, the viability of the Mg-4Zn-3Ca-1HAp-0.5Mn and Mg-4Zn-2.9Ca-1HAp-0.5Mn-0.1Sr composites is discussed systematically for the use as an orthopedic implant. This investigation delivers a new idea for the evolution of a high-performance Sr-based Mg composite having excellent mechanical and corrosion properties while successfully reducing the cytotoxicity effect.Leriche syndrome is characterized by abdominal aorta and/or bilateral iliac occlusive disease, with a triad of clinical symptoms and signs such as claudication, erectile dysfunction, and decreased distal pulses. Diagnostic imaging is one of the key factors for diagnosis of the anatomic origin of the Leriche symptoms. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with diagnosis of abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac occlusive disease with a wide collateral vascular network.
The objective of this paper is to draw attention to the currently underused potential of clinical documentation by nursing and allied health professions to improve the representation of social determinants of health (SDoH) and intersectionality data in electronic health records (EHRs), towards the development of equitable artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
A rapid review of the literature on the inclusion of nursing and allied health data and the nature of health equity information representation in the development and/or use of artificial intelligence approaches alongside expert perspectives from the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Student and Emerging Professionals Working Group.
Consideration of social determinants of health and intersectionality data are limited in both the medical AI and nursing and allied health AI literature. find more As a concept being newly discussed in the context of AI, the lack of discussion of intersectionality in the literature was unsurprising. Howeverng issues related to valuing AI goals (e.g., diagnostics versus supporting care delivery) and improved EHR infrastructure to facilitate documentation of data beyond medicine. Leveraging nursing and allied health data to support equitable AI development represents a current open question for further exploration and research.
This research addresses several factors relevant to inequity in healthcare that may be susceptible to being addressed in a new generation of electronic health records (EHRs).
Through a scoping review of the literature, inequities related to ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic aspects in healthcare in general and, more specifically in EHRs, have been considered. Papers have been identified between 2011 and 2022 in three categories EHR, gender inequalities, and ethnicity inequalities.
Twenty-two recommendations have been identified within the scope of the three categories indicated above. These exposed requirements focus on two spheres (1) technical sphere, mainly focused on the characteristics and tools that the EHR should develop from taking into account the studied inequalities; and (2) clinical sphere, which mainly affects patients, health professionals, and health providers.
Ethnic and gender inequalities are essential factors to take into account when diagnosing, monitoring, preventing, and treating a patient. These factors give us the keys to discovering recommendations for a new generation of EHRs to help mitigate these needs.

Social media is used in the context of healthcare, for example in interventions for promoting health. Since social media are easily accessible they have potential to promote health equity. This paper studies relevant factors impacting on health equity considered in social media interventions.
We searched for literature to identify potential relevant factors impacting on health equity considered in social media interventions. We included studies that reported examples of health interventions using social media, focused on health equity, and analyzed health equity factors of social media. We identified Information about health equity factors and targeted groups.
We found 17 relevant articles. Factors impacting on health equity reported in the included papers were extracted and grouped into three categories digital health literacy, digital ethics, and acceptability.
Literature shows that it is likely that digital technologies will increase health inequities associated with increased age, lower level of educational attainment, and lower socio-economic status. To address this challenge development of social media interventions should consider participatory design principles, visualization, and theories of social sciences.

Involving representative users in usability testing of health information technology (HIT) is central to user-centered design. However, (vulnerable) older adults as representative users have unique requirements. Aging processes may affect physical capabilities and cognitive skills, which can hamper testing with this demographic and may require special attention and revised protocols. This study was performed to provide expert-based recommendations for HIT user-testing with (vulnerable) older adults to support inclusive HIT design and evaluation.
First, we conducted a structured workshop with ten experts in HIT implementation and research, recruited through purposeful sampling, to generate insights into how characteristics of older adults may influence user-testing. Next, five Human Factor researchers experienced in HIT user-testing with (vulnerable) older adults validated the results and provided additional textual insights to gain consensus on the most important recommendations. A thematic analysis was performed on the resulting inquiries. Applied codes were based on the User-Centered Design framework.
The analysis resulted in nine recommendations for user-testing of HIT with older adults, divided into three main themes (1) empathetic approach and trust-building, (2) new requirements for testing and study design, and (3) adjustments to usability evaluation methods. For each theme a checklist of relevant items to follow-up on the recommendation is provided.
The recommendations generated through expert inquiry contribute to more effective usability testing of HIT with older adults. This provides an important step towards improved accessibility of HIT amongst older adults through inclusive user-centered design.

To assess the impact of open-source projects on making healthcare systems more resilient, accessible and equitable.
In response to the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) call for working group contributions for the IMIA Yearbook, the Open Source Working Group (OSWG) conducted a rapid review of current open source digital health projects to illustrate how they can contribute to making healthcare systems more resilient, accessible and equitable. We sought case studies from the OSWG membership to illustrate these three concepts and how open source software (OSS) addresses these concepts in the real world. These case studies are discussed against the background of literature identified through the rapid review.
To illustrate the concept of resilience, we present case studies from the adoption of District Health Information Software version 2 (DHIS2) for managing the Covid pandemic in Rwanda, and the adoption of the OpenEHR open Health IT standard. To illustrate accessibility, we show how open source design systems for user interface design have been used by governments to ensure accessibility of digital health services for patients and healthy individuals, and by the OpenMRS community to standardise their user interface design. Finally, to illustrate the concept of equity, we describe the OpenWHO framework and two open source digital health projects, GNU Health and openIMIS, that both aim to reduce health inequities through the use of open source digital health software.
This review has demonstrated that open source software addresses many of the challenges involved in making healthcare more accessible, equitable and resilient in high and low income settings.

While the COVID-19 pandemic provided a global stimulus for digital health capacity, its development has often been inequitable, short-term in planning, and lacking in health system coherence. Inclusive digital health and the development of resilient health systems are broad outcomes that require a systematic approach to achieving them. This paper from the IMIA Primary Care Informatics Working Group (WG) provides necessary first steps for the design of a digital primary care system that can support system equity and resilience.
We report on digital capability and growth in maturity in four key areas (1) Vaccination/Prevention, (2) Disease management, (3) Surveillance, and (4) Pandemic preparedness for Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom (data from England). Our comparison looks at seasonal influenza management prior to COVID-19 (2019-20) compared to COVID-19 (winter 2020 onwards).
All three countries showed growth in digital maturity from the 2019-20 management of influenza to the 2020-21 year and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
