BACKGROUND: Persons of low socioeconomic status are overrepresented in the firearm injury patient population and may experience challenges in accessing complex outpatient health systems. Consequently, outpatient care for these patients is plagued by poor follow-up and increased emergency department (ED) utilization. We developed a Post Discharge Care Team (PDCT) consisting of a dedicated trauma nurse navigator and medical social worker to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and outpatient care to improve recovery...

INTRODUCTION:  With an aging global population posing healthcare challenges, especially in community healthcare, training professionals for community healthcare remains a global educational challenge, including in Japan. While previous research shows increased student interest in community healthcare through practical experiences, the focus has primarily been on rural areas, leaving a gap in understanding urban-based community medical education. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of urban community-based medical education on students' understanding and attitudes toward community healthcare...

BACKGROUND: Road trauma (RT) survivors have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We identified phases and predictors of HRQoL change following RT injury. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study of 1480 Canadian RT survivors aged 16 to 103 years (July 2018 - March 2020), physical component (PCS) and mental component (MCS) summary scores from the SF-12v2 were measured pre-injury and 2, 4, 6, and 12 months post-injury and their trajectories were analyzed with piecewise latent growth curve modeling...

BACKGROUND: Inequalities exist in uptake of bowel cancer screening in England with low uptake in areas with high deprivation and amongst certain ethnic and religious groups. Individuals from these groups are more likely to receive a late diagnosis of bowel cancer. Uptake in Muslim communities, for example, has been shown to be lower than in the general population. Culturally adapted interventions are needed to address these inequalities. This feasibility study aims to assess the acceptability and accessibility of an educational faith-placed bowel cancer screening intervention in the East of England, alongside its impact on bowel screening uptake...

BACKGROUND: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is highly prevalent in the United States, with darker-skinned patients (DSP) exhibiting lower incidence but increased morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to elucidate NMSC disparities between DSP (Fitzpatrick skin phototype IV or more) and lighter-skinned patients (LSP, Fitzpatrick skin phototype III or less), focusing on surgical features of non-Mohs micrographic surgery-treated NMSC. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included LSP and DSP diagnosed with either basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in an academic dermatology setting...

Injection sclerotherapy is an effective and safe treatment in selected cases. It might be used as the first treatment for I-III degree hemorrhoidal disease (HD), but also as a bridge therapy for more severe cases not amenable to invasive treatments. However, concerning the long-term recurrence rate, open excisional hemorrhoidectomy remains the gold standard in cases of III- and IV-degree HD. In this context, it is recommended to perform the excision of no more than three piles and to preserve the muco-cutaneous bridges to avoid post-operative anal stenosis...

BACKGROUND: Person-centered care is critical to quality health care, but difficult to implement. This challenge is attributed to cultural factors derived from group values about work practices. Work-based educational interventions allow nurses to develop shared meanings of practice, in this case, promoting the value of person-centered care.
