In the red zone: How Atlanta Falcons home games impact emergency department and emergency medical services volumes.

Introduction: Optimizing Emergency Department (ED) resources based on patient volumes is crucial for patient care and hospital operations. Previous literature demonstrated varied effects of large-scale gatherings on Emergency Medical Services (EMS) call volume and ED volume. We assessed the impact of Atlanta Falcons home games on EMS call and trip volume, and ED volume at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Medicaid-Enrolled Autistic Adults.

Importance: Autistic adults experience suboptimal health outcomes. Likewise, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is linked to poor health outcomes in the general population, yet little is known about co-occurring ADHD and its links with poor health outcomes among autistic adults.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of ADHD and ADHD medication prescriptions and to examine associations between health outcomes and both ADHD co-occurrence and ADHD medication prescriptions among autistic adults.

A Highly Impact-Tolerant Textile-Based Lithium-Ion Battery.

Textile-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are in great demand to power wearable electronics. They currently face a key safety challenge, particularly concerning mechanical abuse that could trigger thermal runaway, causing harm to individuals. Here, we report on Kevlar-fabric-based LIBs that can afford high impact tolerance while offering excellent electrochemical performance comparable to metal-foil-based cells.

A comparison of the accuracy and feasibility of a low-cost mobile application versus higher-cost handheld 3D scanner for digital ear prosthetics.

Background: Facial prosthetics are an important means to rehabilitate patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. However, with a time-consuming manual workflow and workforce shortage, access to facial prosthetics is limited in Australia and worldwide, especially for rural and remote patients. Optical 3D scanning has been increasingly integrated in digitizing data.
