- Legalization of cannabis has led to increased usage among pregnant and lactating women, requiring clinicians to address this topic even if they feel unprepared.
- The study involved interviews with 75 individuals, including 23 clinicians and 52 patients, to understand their perspectives on cannabis consumption during pregnancy and lactation.
- Both clinicians and patients desire a nonjudgmental, open dialogue about cannabis that includes information sharing, exploration of values, and informed decision-making about the benefits and risks involved.
Background: Telehealth has emerged as an effective tool for managing common chronic conditions such as hypertension, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the impact of state telehealth payment and coverage parity laws on hypertension medication adherence remains uncertain.
Methods: Data from the 2016 to 2021 Merative MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database were used to construct the study cohort, which included nonpregnant individuals aged 25 to 64 years with hypertension.
Background: Circumcision of a male child is an integral part of some African cultures.

Therefore, the objective of this present study is to investigate how additions of silicon (Si) and molybdenum (Mo) as alloying elements affects the microstructure, microhardness, corrosion behaviour, and wear properties of Ti-Al-x(Mo, Si) alloys made from constituent elemental powders through in-situ alloying laser engineered net shaping (LENS) technique. The influence of the feed rate of Si powder (0.

- Economic policies significantly influence the management and control of hypertension among adults in the US, particularly through healthcare initiatives like insurance coverage expansions, cost-sharing adjustments, and financial incentives for quality care.
- A comprehensive review of literature identified 31 relevant studies, indicating that policies such as Medicaid expansion often lead to better medication adherence and improved blood pressure control.
- The research confirmed that while many policies positively impacted hypertension treatment, none explored economic policies beyond the healthcare system, suggesting a focus on internal healthcare frameworks.
