BACKGROUND: Chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists (COPs) can assess and manage musculoskeletal conditions with similar manual or physical therapy techniques. This overlap in scope of practice raises questions about the boundaries between the three professions. Clinical settings where they are co-located are one of several possible influences on professional boundaries and may provide insight into the nature of these boundaries and how they are managed by clinicians themselves...

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are pivotal in delivering healthcare services to underserved populations in the United States. While the number of FQHCs and FQHC look-alikes has been increasing, intensifying competition, limited research has examined the cost implications associated with this growing competition among FQHCs. This study aims to fill the research gap by analyzing the relationship between the level of competition among FQHCs and the cost of care per patient. Understanding this relationship is crucial for managers and policymakers in deriving informed decisions related to the expansion of FQHCs...

Independently performing activities of daily living (ADLs) is vital for maintaining one's quality of life. Losing this ability can significantly impact an individual's overall health status, including their mental health and social well-being. Aging is an important factor contributing to the loss of ADL abilities, and our study focuses on investigating the trajectories of functional decline and recovery in older adults. Employing trajectory analytics methodologies, this research delves into the intricate dynamics of ADL pathways, unveiling their complexity, diversity, and inherent characteristics...

Myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition have been recognized increasingly over the past decade with numerous newly described disorders. Penetrance, age of onset, phenotypic heterogeneity, and somatic driver events differ widely among these conditions and sometimes even within family members with the same variant, making risk assessment and counseling of these individuals inherently difficult. In this review, we will shed light on high malignant penetrance (e.g., CEBPA, GATA2, SAMD9/SAMD9L, and TP53) versus variable malignant penetrance syndromes (e...

Freight truck-related crashes in urban contexts have caused significant economic losses and casualties, making it increasingly essential to understand the spatial patterns of such crashes. Limitations regarding data availability have greatly undermined the generalizability and applicability of certain prior research findings. This study explores the potential of emerging geospatial data to delve deeply into the determinants of these incidents with a more generalizable research design. By synergizing high-resolution satellite imagery with refined GIS map data and geospatial tabular data, a rich tapestry of the road environment and freight truck operations emerges...
