Advancing learning equity through virtual radiology grand rounds

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic rapidly accelerated the adoption of virtual learning in medical education, including departmental grand rounds lectures in radiology. This retrospective study sought to assess the impact of an open access virtual grand rounds program. We tested the hypothesis that virtual grand rounds would advance learning equity by increasing access to learners outside of our institution. MethodsTwenty-two open access virtual grand rounds lectures were presented and recorded using an online videoconferencing platform. After the lecture, registrants received online access to the lecture recording for later on-demand viewing. The email address, geographical location, institutional affiliation, and medical specialty for all virtual registrants and attendees were retrospectively collected from a required online registration form. The primary outcome measure included an assessment of geographical diversity using descriptive statistics. ResultsAttendees of the virtual lectures were from 75 academic institutions and 27 non-academic institutions and located in 32 states, 88 cities, and 9 countries. Twenty-seven medical specialties were represented. ConclusionThe virtual grand rounds program in radiology contributes to free and open access educational content online for learners around the world. To address learning equity and promote international inclusion, we recommend that grand rounds organizers consider including a virtual option that allows free sharing of knowledge.

Awareness of physicians and dentists in Serbia about the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundStrong evidence supports the association between periodontitis and certain systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of a group of physicians and dentists in Serbia regarding this topic and assess their professional actions to prevent and control both periodontal and systemic diseases.MethodsAn anonymous self-administered structured questionnaire was sent to the available e-mail addresses of randomly selected healthcare providers working in Serbia. According to the inclusion criteria, general practitioners, specialists, general dentists, and specialists working in government hospitals and private practices in various cities in Serbia were recruited in the study. The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions divided into three parts. The first part recorded the sociodemographic characteristics of participants, the second part included questions about the clinical manifestation and etiology of periodontitis, as well as knowledge of the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases, and the third part included questions about professional procedures for the prevention and control of periodontitis and systemic diseases.ResultsA total of 1301 health participants, 739 (57.8%) physicians and 562 (43.2%) dentists, were included in this cross-sectional study. Most respondents (94.7%) were aware of the association between periodontitis and general health. The highest percentage of respondents associated diabetes mellitus and periodontitis. Factors significantly associated with higher knowledge were female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37–2.52; p < 0.001) and dental profession (OR, 5.86; 95% CI], 4.03–8.53; p < 0.001). Participants who had higher knowledge score were more likely to ask their patients about gum/systematic health (p < 0.001) and refer them to dentists/physicians (p < 0.001).ConclusionsIt was concluded that compared to the group of dentists, the group of physicians had less knowledge of the relationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases. The female gender was significantly associated with better knowledge. A better understanding of this topic is associated with better clinical practice.

Factorizing 2FA: Forensic analysis of two-factor authentication applications

Many sectors such as banking, academia, health care, and others have made Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) mandatory for all their registered users. The growth in the usage of 2FA technology demonstrates the need to understand how 2FA applications operate, the kind of information they store about their users, and the implications, if any, that may arise if malicious actors exploit them. Our work focuses on the forensic analysis of 15 2FA applications used by millions of people. Our analysis includes popular applications such as FreeOTP, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Twilio Authy, and more. The applications were tested on different operating systems (Android, iOS and Windows 10) and used with applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Our methodology focused on not just forensically analyzing the devices’ storage, but also the network traffic of all devices and the memory of the Windows machine. Results revealed that the majority of analyzed applications store encrypted/encoded and plain text information, such as secret keys, timestamps, account names, e-mail addresses, the application locking pin, and more. Consequently, we believe that the critical discovery of secret keys allows for the 2FA functionally to be bypassed and it is demonstrated in this work. Our results revealed that 14 of 15 applications stored the name of the social media application/account information, and 14 of 15 applications stored either plain text, or encoded/encrypted secret keys. Finally, 2 of 15 applications stored a pin in plain text used to lock the application and/or encrypt all information on the disk.

Weeding out the Truth: A Survey Experiment on the Role of Scientific Evidence in Shaping Public Opinion on Marijuana Policy

PurposeThis study aims to explore the extent to which different forms of scientific research on the criminogenic effects of marijuana use impact public opinion on marijuana-related policy issues. MethodsWe conducted an experimental priming survey using Qualtrics, targeting heads of households in South Carolina with associated email addresses. Multiple OLS regression models were employed to analyze single-item and aggregate scores of our dependent variables. ResultsOur findings reveal that, except for the policy regarding the immediate release of a convicted offender, scientific research on the criminogenic effects of marijuana use did not significantly or substantively influence public perceptions of cannabis policies. Factors such as perceptions of police legitimacy, legal orientation, trust in law enforcement, and conservative or moderate political inclinations were significantly correlated with various outcomes. ConclusionsRespondents primed with research suggesting a link between marijuana use and an increased likelihood of engaging in violent and property crimes were more inclined to disapprove of releasing non-violent cannabis offenders from incarceration. However, exposure to scientific research generally did not influence participants' support or disapproval of other policies promoting the liberalization of marijuana-related policies. The study also discusses potential research and policy implications.

Awareness and Referral Attitudes of Diabetic Retinopathy among Surgeons at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Pakistan

Purpose: To assess the awareness of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in surgeons and compare their referral practices from different specialities at a tertiary care center. Study Design: Cross sectional survey. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery, Agha Khan University Hospital, Karachi. Methods: A survey was created using Google Forms and the link to the survey was shared to 99 surgery faculty members on official university email addresses. We employed non-probability, convenience sampling technique and the total population of faculty under the Department of Surgery was sampled, including clinical fellows. Residents, research associates, and ophthalmology faculty were subsequently excluded. The survey contained questions in 4 categories; consent, relevant practices of DM, knowledge regarding DR and referral practices to an ophthalmologist. Scoring was based on a 5-point Likert scale with 5 being the most rigorous practice. Data was entered into SPSS v.23. Qualitative data was reported as frequencies with percentages, and quantitative data was reported as mean with standard deviation. Results: Out of 40 participants, 87.5% had excellent practices of diabetes mellitus and 77.5% had excellent knowledge of diabetic retinopathy. Referral practices to an ophthalmologist were graded fair in 75% and poor in 15% whereas, referral practices were fair or poor across all surgical specialties. Conclusion: Our study indicates a gap between knowledge and practices of surgeons regarding DM. Hence, there is a strong need to enhance awareness about timely referrals to an ophthalmologist to prevent complications of diabetes related blindness.

Public friendliness towards Frontline Healthcare workers in Kolkata, India: Preparedness towards a future pandemic

Introduction: A new wave of COVID-19 infection has hit China of late and India due to her geographical proximity is at risk. More than 700 doctors in India have died on the frontline during COVID-19. Despite their sacrifices and service, discretionary behaviour by the public have been frequently reported. Objective: To assess the attitude and perception towards frontline Health Care Workers (HCW’s) among residents of a selected zone of Kolkata (India). Method: An observational study of cross-sectional design was performed in December 2022, using a pre-designedstructured questionnaire, that was sent to the registered email address of the families residing in the selected area of a zone located in Southern Kolkataand response from one eligible member per family was assessed. Of 142 families residing in the area, responses from 119 families were obtained. Results: Most participants agreed or strongly agreed to co-operating with HCW’s during door-to-door screening campaigns and supporting their families (94.8% and 83.7% respectively). Majority (74.4%) favoured functioning of private clinics; however, 60.7% didn’t want to allow doctors to work post-COVID recovery. Though 64.9% believed HCW’s were taking adequate measures to contain disease spread, 77.8% wanted to maintain more than required ‘safe distance’ from them and 35.1% favoured keeping them away from neighbourhood. About 67% thought HCW’s were properly trained and equipped to handle COVID-19 cases (47.8%). Participants with age more than 33 years (p=0.030), males (p=0.044) and who sought health advice in last month (p=0.016)were found to have a favourable attitude. Conclusion: The study finds a mixed opinion in the public about HCWs. Considering the difficulties faced byHCWs, which affected the functioning of the healthcare system, this scenario can be tricky while tackling similar emergencies of the future. Hence, measures to reduce societal stigma against HCWs is of great necessity.

Working 9 to always: relationships among workplace telepressure, ICT boundary creation, and workaholism.

Information and communication technology (ICT) in the work environment continues to change the landscape of the workplace. This technology allows employees to have greater flexibility when accessing information and communicating with those not physically present. The goal of the current study was to investigate the relationships between workplace telepressure, workaholism, and ICT boundary creation. The moderating role of ICT boundary creation in the relationship between workaholism and workplace telepressure was also examined. The sample consisted of 317 full-time faculty and staff at a large Southeastern university. Participants were recruited through an email distribution service, LISTSERV, that contains potential respondents' university email addresses. Prior to starting the Qualtrics survey, participants were shown an informed consent form indicating that their participation is voluntary, and responses will be confidential and anonymous. When they completed the form, respondents were evaluated on measures of workplace telepressure, workaholism, and ICT boundary creation. Workplace telepressure was positively related to workaholism (and its subscales) and negatively related to ICT boundary creation. Furthermore, workaholism was negatively related to ICT boundary creation. Additionally, both workaholism and ICT boundary creation had significant partial effects for predicting workplace telepressure. As ICTs become more popular in the workforce, organizations must be aware of how the additional ease of access that ICTs provide affects employees. Setting ICT boundaries serves as a way to reduce the negative influence that workaholism and workplace telepressure have on workers.

916-P: The Demographic Variables Associated with Diabetes Technology Knowledge or Use in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Background: Studies in populations with type 1 diabetes highlight the racial-ethnic disparities in the use of diabetes technology. Our project aims to investigate racial-ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in diabetes technology knowledge and use in adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in ambulatory setting. Method: We recruited adults aged 40 and older with T2D who visited one of four internal medicine practices between July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2021. We selected patients in the electronic record who use insulin, have English as a primary language, and have an email address. Eligible participants were invited to participate via an email link to a REDCap questionnaire. All variables were summarized descriptively using frequencies and percentages, and were compared across groups using Pearson’s Chi-Square Test or Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: We included 116 patients in the analysis, most of whom were white (62%), elderly Medicare recipients. Those who are of racial-ethnic minoritized groups are less likely to have knowledge of CGM (p = 0.013) or insulin pumps (p = 0.001). Patients who have high school education or less have less awareness of insulin pumps (p = 0.041). Interestingly, neither awareness nor use of CGM or insulin pump were found to be associated with income. Conclusion: This cross-sectional analysis suggests that racial-ethnic minoritized groups or those with lower education have lower knowledge of CGM or insulin pumps and this disparity cannot be explained by differences in socioeconomic status. Providers need to be aware of their potential implicit biases in relation to education and prescription of diabetes technology. Disclosure Y.Ye: None. B.A.Acevedo-mendez: None. S.Izard: None.
