Objective: This study explored the lived experience of Delaware families residing in homeless shelters and motels with young children. We focused on their daily experiences to gain understanding about their day-to-day living to foster understanding about optimal supports that can facilitate more permanent housing arrangements.

Methods: We used qualitative approaches to obtain descriptions about the daily lives of families experiencing homelessness with young children.

Background: The radial tuberosity contributes to the biceps supination moment arm and the elbow flexion moment. The purpose of our study was to compare the impact of a cortical bone trough versus an anatomic repair on measurements of the forearm supination moment arm and elbow flexion force efficiency. Our hypothesis was that a trough repair would decrease the tuberosity height, the native biceps supination moment arm, and elbow flexion force efficiency compared with an anatomic repair.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the clinical, biochemical, and genetic characteristics of Mediterranean patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) caused by mutations in the TRβ gene over a 15-year period.
  • A total of 166 blood samples were studied, leading to the identification of mutations in 50 patients, with a majority being women and an average diagnostic age of around 33 years.
  • The research revealed notable clinical features like goiter and hyperkinetic behavior, and found four new mutations in the TRβ gene, adding to existing knowledge on RTH characteristics in this population.
