Mashup Score: 2Reestablishing the Researcher-Patient Compact - 10 day(s) ago
In the name of privacy and protection of study subjects, the research community has, albeit with good intentions, broken the historical doctor-patient compact, distorting an ideal of information exchange that might inform subjects of health risks or benefits (1, 2). To minimize privacy risks in genomic research, investigators and institutional review boards (IRBs) construe that federal regulations require anonymized data. This disallows communicating pertinent results back to subjects. Such results could help the subjects and would justify the beneficence of that research (3). When large cohorts are enrolled for genomic and clinical characterization (4–6), both sides agree not to reconnect findings from the aggregated data or to infer meaning or insight for a specific patient, or to make that knowledge available to the patient. The scientific motivation behind this mutual commitment never to communicate or identify has origins in the evolution of modern study design (7). It has coincid

Mashup Score: 30Want to Be More Productive? Try Doing Less. - 12 day(s) ago
If we want to ramp up our productivity and happiness at home and at work, we should actually be doing less. But that’s incredibly difficult as you’re balancing work, parenting, friendships, and more. When you stop doing the things that make you feel busy but aren’t getting you results, then you end up with more than enough time for what matters. You can follow a simple exercise to help decide what activities on your to-do list brings you the most value, and which you can stop doing. Decide on an area of your life where you’d like to have better results and less stress. Write down the tasks you do in that area on one side of a piece of paper, and on the other, list successes you’ve had in that area. Then, identify which tasks directly contributed to those successes. Anything that didn’t directly contribute can be eliminated, greatly reduced, or delegated to someone else.

Mashup Score: 23A History of #BCSM and Insights for Patient-Centered Online Interaction and Engagement - 16 day(s) ago
Purpose: Participation in cancer support groups can provide a sense of community and may better prepare patients for interactions with their health care team. Online interactions may overcome some barriers to in-person support group participation. #BCSM (breast cancer social media), the first cancer support community established on Twitter, was founded in 2011 by two breast cancer survivors. The aims of this study are to describe the growth and changes in this community and to discuss future directions and lessons that may apply to other online support communities. Methods: Symplur Signals was used to obtain all #BCSM Twitter data from January 1, 2011, to January 1, 2020 (00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time for both). Hashtag use by selected stakeholder groups, user locations, weekly tweet chat activity, and topics were determined. Results: From year 1 (2011) to year 9 (2019), tweets using the #BCSM hashtag increased by 424%. Tweets by patient advocates increased by 226%, with a peak i

Mashup Score: 11
Over the past two decades, there has been significant interest in hypofractionation in prostate cancer, owing to its unique radiobiology with low alpha–beta ratio compared to surrounding normal tissue [1,2]. Initially, studies evaluated the role of moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHRT) to the prostate, which demonstrated non-inferiority compared to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) [3–6]. More recently, there has been interest in delivering even larger doses per fraction, and the efficacy of ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) has been evaluated in two published phase 3 trials.
