() is a telementoring learning model to increase community capacity for autism-related health care. Seventy-seven pediatric providers (mostly primary care, seeing exclusively Medicaid patient populations) enrolled in 1 year of . Analysis of self-report surveys showed a significant increase in autism diagnoses made by ECHO providers after 1 year, (1, 65) = 7.

- Autistic individuals face a heightened risk for depression, but the specific factors influencing this relationship are not well understood.
- A study involving 58 autistic adults found that participating in recreational, educational, or vocational activities led to less severe depressive symptoms.
- The research also indicated that having a family history of depression or anxiety increases the risk of suicidal thoughts, suggesting the importance of community activities and family support in treatment plans for depression in autistic adults.
Background: Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) represents a novel approach to addressing disparities in multiple sclerosis (MS) care. A primary mechanism of the program is the use of case consultations to rapidly transfer knowledge from content experts to community providers who care for individuals with MS.
Methods: MS Project ECHO was pilot tested as a weekly 60-minute videoconference delivered to 24 clinicians across 13 practice sites over 41 weeks.
Background: Low exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from sunlight may be a risk factor for developing multiple sclerosis (MS). Possible pathways may be related to effects on immune system function or vitamin D insufficiency, as UVR plays a role in the production of the active form of vitamin D in the body.
Objective: This study examined whether lower levels of residential UVR exposure from sunlight were associated with increased MS risk in a cohort of radiologic technologists.
Unlabelled: Patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) often complain of cognitive fatigue during the chronic recovery phase. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) is a complex psychologic measure that may demonstrate subtle deficiencies in higher cognitive functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the brain activation of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) with PASAT in patients with mild TBI to explore mechanisms for the cognitive fatigue.
