Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Harnessing Database Mining for Advancing Clinical Practice: From Insights to Therapeutic Innovation", in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.
The integration of advanced database mining techniques into clinical practice is reshaping how healthcare professionals diagnose, treat, and manage diseases. Modern clinical databases - encompassing electronic health records (EHRs), genomic profiles, treatment outcome registries, and real-time patient monitoring data - hold immense, untapped potential to uncover actionable insights that directly improve patient care. This Article Collection focuses on cutting-edge methodologies and applications of database mining to bridge the gap between data-driven discoveries and their practical implementation in therapeutic decision-making, ultimately enhancing precision, efficacy, and equity in clinical practice.
The urgency of leveraging database mining in clinical settings lies in its capacity to address critical healthcare challenges. Traditional approaches to treatment optimization often rely on generalized protocols, which may fail to account for individual patient variability, comorbidities, or emerging patterns in population health. By systematically analyzing large-scale clinical datasets, researchers and practitioners can identify novel biomarkers, predict treatment responses, and tailor interventions to specific patient subgroups. For example, mining oncology databases may reveal correlations between genetic mutations and drug efficacy, enabling personalized cancer therapies, while analyzing longitudinal EHR data could uncover early warning signs of treatment complications. Furthermore, in resource-limited settings, database-driven insights can guide cost-effective, evidence-based care. Despite this potential, challenges such as data heterogeneity, ethical constraints, and the translation of mined patterns into clinical workflows remain significant barriers to widespread adoption.
This Article Collection invites submissions that explore the transformative role of database mining in advancing therapeutic strategies and clinical outcomes. Key subtopics include, but are not limited to:
- Multidisciplinary Literature Informatics: Cross-disciplinary approaches such as bibliometric analyses to map trends in disease research, therapeutic innovations, and knowledge gaps across fields like pharmacology, genomics, and public health.
- Mining Large-Scale Biomedical Databases: Methodological advances and applications leveraging datasets such as NHANES (nutrition and health trends), GBD (global disease burden), UK Biobank (genomic and health data), TriNetX (real-world clinical data), and other repositories to uncover disease mechanisms, treatment patterns, and population health insights.
- Data-Driven Discovery of Disease and Therapeutic Targets: Computational strategies including network pharmacology, bioinformatics analyses, and multi-omics integration to identify novel drug candidates, repurpose existing therapies, or elucidate disease pathways.
- Machine Learning for Precision Therapeutics: Predictive models to forecast individual patient responses to treatments (e.g., chemotherapy efficacy, adverse drug reactions) or stratify high-risk populations (e.g., early detection of sepsis, cardiovascular events) using clinical, genomic, and demographic data.
- Ethical and Technical Challenges in Clinical Data Mining: Addressing biases in heterogeneous datasets, ensuring interoperability across platforms, and balancing data utility with patient privacy in global health contexts.
We welcome original research articles, method and methodology papers, and reviews that demonstrate rigorous data mining approaches with clear clinical relevance. Submissions should emphasize scalable solutions, reproducibility, and direct implications for improving therapeutic decision-making, aligning with the journal’s commitment to fostering innovation at the intersection of data science and clinical care.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Ensuring Patient Safety and Data Privacy", in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.
All computer systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks, but healthcare systems are especially at risk due to the pervasive use of interconnected digital health systems for service delivery, insurance billing, pharmaceutical ordering, diagnostics test reporting, and telehealth. Medical device usage, remote patient monitoring, patient portals, and the increasing number of connected smart devices provide multiple entry points for cyber actors. Moreover, healthcare targets are ten times more valuable than financial targets because they can enable fraudulent billing.
Healthcare security specialists may wish for a universal application to scan computer systems and detect all cyber threats, but that app does not exist. The reason is that cybersecurity issues are intricate and multifaceted, involving human factors, system vulnerabilities, technological vulnerabilities, physical access issues, and legal compliance challenges.
Information sharing and remote access make healthcare systems more susceptible to viruses and phishing. Cyberattacks in one system can have a domino effect, resulting in issues in multiple connected internal and external systems. As an illustration, the February 2024 ransomware data breach at Change Healthcare, a company that supplied revenue cycle and payment management services to over 900,000 healthcare providers and 5,500 hospitals, significantly impacted healthcare systems in several states. This breach, the largest ever reported, affected approximately 190 million individuals, and resulted in revenue losses due to delays in processing clinical, financial, and operational transactions.
At a minimum, cyberattacks in healthcare can delay care due to healthcare databases being held for ransom. The worst-case scenario is when the Internet of Medical Things is hijacked and causes malfunction. Disruptions to healthcare systems harm the financial stability of the affected healthcare facility and pose serious risks to patient safety and data privacy. This was a concern as far back as 2000 when the U.S. Secret Service disabled the Wi-Fi capabilities of the pacemaker in Vice President Dick Cheney’s chest.
During cyberattacks, patient information can be compromised, lost, stolen, or held for ransom, endangering the ability to diagnose and treat the patient efficiently and safely. The Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights' analysis of healthcare data breaches revealed a substantial increase in the number and severity of data breaches over the last fourteen years, and the average cost is higher than data breach costs for other industries.
This Article Collection welcomes original research articles and systematic reviews. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Empirical studies exploring topics related to healthcare patients, systems, and data privacy and security.
- Comprehensive reviews summarizing the current state of healthcare cybersecurity.
- Comparing blockchain and active Artificial Intelligence to more traditional intrusion detection mechanisms.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "A Multidisciplinary Approach to Reducing Suicide Risk Among Adolescents: Strategies, Challenges, and Solutions", in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.
Youth suicide is a pressing crisis today. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 720,000 people die each year by suicide, and suicide is now the third leading cause of death among 15–29 year olds (WHO, 2025). Over the past decade, youth trends have shown a sharp increase. In the United States, the suicide rate for 10–14-year-olds tripled between 2007–2018 before plateauing; for 15–19-year-olds, the rate rose ~57% (2009–2017) and remained high through 2021. These figures underscore that risk is no longer sporadic, but rather a persistent pattern in the current generation of adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024).
Current social and digital changes are shaping a risk ecology directly relevant to adolescent suicide. Near-constant internet exposure and increasingly widespread smartphone ownership are altering daily rhythms, reducing sleep quality and duration, and increasing exposure to harmful content, including cyberbullying, glorification of self-harm, and negative social comparison. Sleep disturbances, loneliness, and distorted self-esteem are strong predictors of suicidal ideation and self-harm behavior, so an intensification of these factors in adolescents should be considered a driver of increased risk. At the same time, reduced face-to-face interactions with peers and decreased community participation weaken traditionally protective support networks. The loss of meaningful connections diminishes adolescents’ sense of belonging and heightens perceived helplessness, two psychosocial mechanisms known to contribute to suicide ideation and attempts. The migration of interactions to digital spaces can also delay help-seeking and reduce opportunities for early detection by parents, teachers, and health professionals, while content distribution algorithms have the potential to amplify exposure to risky material among vulnerable groups.
Preventing suicide in adolescence is crucial because of its profound consequences for individuals, families, and society as a whole. Timely and evidence-based interventions can reduce risk factors, strengthen protective mechanisms, and ultimately save lives. In addition to alleviating psychological and social burdens, effective prevention strategies contribute to the development of healthier communities and reduce long term strain on healthcare systems. Multidisciplinary collaboration that brings together psychiatry, psychology, education, social work, public health, and policy studies offers the most comprehensive path toward sustainable solutions.
This Article Collection welcomes contributions that present innovative strategies, address current challenges, and propose solutions to reduce suicide risk among adolescents from a multidisciplinary perspective. Submissions may include empirical studies, systematic reviews, policy analyses, and practice-based insights.
- Relevant subtopics include, but are not limited to:
- Early detection and screening
- School- and community-based interventions
- The role of digital technologies
- Cultural and socioeconomic dimensions
- Ethical considerations in prevention programs
By integrating diverse approaches, this Collection aims to advance scholarly knowledge, foster collaboration, and support the development of effective strategies for safeguarding adolescent mental health.

The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare is pleased to welcome you to submit your research to the Article Collection "Strengthening Multidisciplinary Healthcare Teams: Workforce Integration, Team Collaboration, and Equitable Care".
Multidisciplinary healthcare increasingly depends on teams composed of professionals with different cultural, linguistic, educational, and lived-experience backgrounds. These differences shape how teams communicate, make decisions, collaborate, and partner with patients and families. This Article Collection explores how healthcare organizations and teams can strengthen workforce integration and team collaboration to support safer, higher-quality, and more equitable care across primary, acute, community, and long-term care settings.
This topic is important because workforce shortages, migration, and cross-border recruitment are reshaping health systems worldwide. Many services increasingly rely on internationally educated health professionals, multilingual teams, and new forms of task-sharing. Without adequate preparation and support, teams may face communication breakdowns, role ambiguity, inequitable opportunities, and reduced psychological safety, affecting staff wellbeing and patient outcomes. Source countries may also experience workforce depletion, service gaps, disrupted team functioning, and loss of training investments. Better evidence is needed on how organizations can support ethical recruitment, effective workforce integration, language access, mutual learning, and sustainable workforce partnerships.
We invite submissions on strengthening multidisciplinary healthcare teams, with particular interest in:
1. Workforce integration and ethical recruitment, including the integration of internationally educated health professionals and impacts on source-country systems and teams;
2. Language access, language discordance, and communication practices; and
3. How cultural competence, cultural humility, inclusive leadership, and diversity management influence team collaboration, staff experience, patient safety, and equitable care.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Building a Sustainable Allied Health Workforce: Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience", in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.
The Allied Health Professions (AHPs) provide specialist emergency, diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative services that help people and whole communities from birth to end of life. AHPs make up a large proportion of the international health workforce, yet their vital contribution is too often marginalized in a public discourse that tends to refer only to "doctors and nurses." As a result, the focus on prevention and rehabilitation is also less well understood by patients and the public who focus on hospital-based, acute medical care. Further research is needed to inform policy and practice in sustaining the whole AHP workforce including assistant practitioners and support staff.
As the demand for Allied Health Services continues to grow there is a need to understand how best to build and maintain the Allied Health workforce, including non-traditional routes into the professions, diversification of educational options and challenging conceptions of siloed and stressful roles that lead to poor retention. There are multiple challenges across different communities and contexts including rural and coastal and urban deprived places, and evidence is needed to support planning, decision-making and investment in new roles and ways of working.
This Article Collection will explore the sustainability of the Allied Health workforce, with topics including retention, routes into the Allied Health Professions, burnout and other mental health difficulties facing the Allied Health workforce. The impact of workforce shortages, strategies for improving recruitment and diversity, the role of leadership and professional development in building resilience, and innovations in service delivery, including the integration of digital health and interprofessional collaborations are relevant. This collection aims to gather robust AHP-specific research that evidences the issues facing the sustainability of the AHP workforce, and the outcomes of local, national, and international workforce innovations.
Specialties within the Allied Health Professions include:
- Art therapists
- Dietitians
- Dramatherapists
- Music therapists
- Occupational therapists
- Operating department practitioners
- Orthoptists
- Osteopaths
- Paramedics
- Physiotherapists
