Background: Cross-sectional evidence suggests that access to essential mobility assistive products (MAPs) might be dependent on non-clinical factors. However, MAP use is better understood as a dynamic process wherein individuals pass through different states of MAP need and use. We aimed to test associations of demographic, socioeconomic, and social factors with transitions between MAP need and use states.

- The article discusses community-based participatory research as a way to identify barriers preventing racially minoritized groups, particularly Black adults, from accessing cochlear implants.
- It highlights how Black adults in the U.S. face specific challenges regarding cochlear implantation and emphasizes the importance of community engagement in studying these issues.
- The Memphis SOUND Project aims to investigate hearing health disparities and has begun to share insights on both the motivating factors and obstacles Black adults face in utilizing cochlear implants.
Article Synopsis
- Sorafenib and pazopanib, two tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are commonly used to treat patients with progressive desmoid tumors (DT), but real-world long-term outcome data is limited.
- A study involving 142 DT patients analyzed treatment history and outcomes from 2011 to 2022, showing an overall response rate of 26% and a disease control rate of 95%, with median treatment duration of 10.8 months.
- Results indicated that discontinuation of treatment in responders was generally safe, but further research is needed to determine the best treatment duration for patients with stable disease.
Background: Traditionally, the manufacture of prostheses is time-consuming and labor-intensive. One possible route to improving access and quality of these devices is the digitalizing of the fabrication process, which may reduce the burden of manual labor and bring the potential for automation that could help unblock access to assistive technologies globally.
Objectives: To identify where there are gaps in the literature that are creating barriers to decision-making on either appropriate uptake by clinical teams or on the needed next steps in research that mean these technologies can continue on a pathway to maturity.
