Letter from George C. Crume to James B. Finley

Crume writes to suggest that the Western Christian Advocate is too large and bulky for long term preservation. He would like to see the newspaper published in a quarto form (like the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate) which would be more convenient to have and keep. Crume would like Finley and the Ohio delegation to propose this change at General Conference. On another topic, Crume argues that there should be uniformity in the way churches do benedictions. -- Let the congregations be dismissed kneeling at the close of the last prayer as on our sacramental occasions and the good impressions made during the service will be fostered & much disorder prevented. He reports good conditions at the prison. Abstract Number - 552https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1848/thumbnail.jp

Letter from George C. Crume to James B. Finley

Crume encloses two deeds belonging to Finley. He is pleased to hear of Finley\u27s new position at the penitentiary and knows he will do well in it. He speaks about the possibility of redemption for the prisoners -- I have no doubt much may be done, perhaps more than the most sanguine anticipate, to restore those lost ones to society and bring them to the knowledge of the Saviour. For he who died for all will not cast away the penitent convict who seeks his mercy. Conditions are not good in Zanesville ( spiritual famine ), although folks are pleased with the new preacher, Bro. Jameson. Abstract Number - 303https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1300/thumbnail.jp

Using electronic health records to enhance surveillance of diabetes in children, adolescents and young adults: a study protocol for the DiCAYA Network

Introduction Traditional survey-based surveillance is costly, limited in its ability to distinguish diabetes types and time-consuming, resulting in reporting delays. The Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (DiCAYA) Network seeks to advance diabetes surveillance efforts in youth and young adults through the use of large-volume electronic health record (EHR) data. The network has two primary aims, namely: (1) to refine and validate EHR-based computable phenotype algorithms for accurate identification of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth and young adults and (2) to estimate the incidence and prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth and young adults and trends therein. The network aims to augment diabetes surveillance capacity in the USA and assess performance of EHR-based surveillance. This paper describes the DiCAYA Network and how these aims will be achieved.Methods and analysis The DiCAYA Network is spread across eight geographically diverse US-based centres and a coordinating centre. Three centres conduct diabetes surveillance in youth aged 0–17 years only (component A), three centres conduct surveillance in young adults aged 18–44 years only (component B) and two centres conduct surveillance in components A and B. The network will assess the validity of computable phenotype definitions to determine diabetes status and type based on sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the phenotypes against the gold standard of manually abstracted medical charts. Prevalence and incidence rates will be presented as unadjusted estimates and as race/ethnicity, sex and age-adjusted estimates using Poisson regression.Ethics and dissemination The DiCAYA Network is well positioned to advance diabetes surveillance methods. The network will disseminate EHR-based surveillance methodology that can be broadly adopted and will report diabetes prevalence and incidence for key demographic subgroups of youth and young adults in a large set of regions across the USA
