Effect of Nebulized Magnesium vs Placebo Added to Albuterol on Hospitalization Among Children With Refractory Acute Asthma Treated in the Emergency Department: A Randomized Clinical Trial
24/11/2020
Among children with refractory acute asthma in the emergency department, nebulized magnesium with albuterol, compared with placebo with albuterol, did not significantly decrease the hospitalization rate for asthma within 24 hours. The findings do not support use of nebulized magnesium with albuterol among children with refractory acute asthma.

Evaluating Identity Disclosure Risk in Fully Synthetic Health Data: Model Development and Validation
11/11/2020
We have presented a comprehensive identity disclosure risk model for fully synthetic data. The results for this synthesis method on 2 datasets demonstrate that synthesis can reduce meaningful identity disclosure risks considerably. The risk model can be applied in the future to evaluate the privacy of fully synthetic data.

Canadian Association of Radiologists White Paper on De-Identification of Medical Imaging: Part 1, General Principles
03/11/2020
The application of AI algorithms in radiology requires access to large data sets containing PHI. The CAR AI Ethical and Legal standing committee published Part 2 of this guide to provide a practical approach to de-identification in the context of the current Canadian health care landscape. This article discussed the practical application of protecting patient data in the reality of our current Canadian clinical landscape. The strengths and weaknesses of de-identification approaches were outlined, along with the complexities of protecting patients’ medical imaging data, the possible de-identification software tools available, some common mistakes made by research and development teams, and perspectives on future directions.

Advances in Bone Assessment Methods in Children
02/11/2020
INTRODUCTION Pediatric bone diseases present with a variety of signs and symptoms. Although some diagnoses may be straightforward based on history and physical examination, other presentations require more extensive bone assessments. In addition, clinical followup, research studies, and drug trials are predicated on strong bone health assessment.
