OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the feasibility of voice recognition-based electronic medical record (EMR) documentation for periodontal probing in dentistry, particularly emphasizing Korean-English bilingual speech patterns and real-world clinical conditions. METHODS: Experiments were conducted in a dental chair set…

OBJECTIVES: Following cleft palate repair, early detection of maladaptive compensatory mechanisms and hypernasality may determine the need for additional intervention. Our goal is to understand if primary language influences rates of subsequent intervention among children with cleft palate in the United States. METHOD…

Medication errors are common after pediatric hospital discharge, and families who use languages other than English may be at increased risk. In this study, we aimed to determine the association between caregiver language and medication errors after pediatric hospital discharge across two different clinical sites. We pe…

The present study examined 1) basic biliteracy difficulty subtypes in Chinese (L1) and English (L2) Hong Kong Chinese children, 2) genetic-versus-environmental aetiologies for the subtypes, and 3) the moderating role of SES and school language use in the aetiologies. Four hundred fifty-six twin pairs (91.08 &#xb…
