Discrimination is associated with food insecurity and poor health, especially among racial and ethnic minoritized and sexual or gender minoritized groups. We examined the demographic associations of perceived everyday discrimination and food pantry discrimination in Massachusetts.

- This study investigates the effectiveness of portable MRI (pMRI) in diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients with optic neuritis, comparing it to conventional MRI (cMRI) in terms of lesion detection and time to imaging.
- Twenty patients were assessed, with results showing that while pMRI detected fewer lesions, it provided faster imaging results than cMRI, significantly reducing the wait time from symptom onset.
- The findings indicate that pMRI has good diagnostic potential, particularly in terms of speed, but shows moderate sensitivity for identifying dissemination in space (DIS) according to established criteria.
Food is Medicine (FIM) programs to improve the accessibility of fruits and vegetables (FVs) or other healthy foods among patients with low income and diet-related chronic diseases are promising to improve food and nutrition security in the United States (US). However, FIM programs are relatively new and implementation guidance for healthcare settings using an implementation science lens is lacking. We used a narrative review to describe the evidence base on barriers and facilitators to FIM program integration in US healthcare settings following the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) Framework.

To identify potential areas for antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions in the ED.
Patients And Methods: A multicentre, prospective cohort analysis study in EDs across eight hospitals in Ireland.
Background: Intravenous iron (IV-iron) is used as an alternative to, or alongside, red blood cell transfusion (RBC-T) to treat more severe postpartum anemia (PPA), although optimal treatment options remain unclear. No previous systematic reviews have examined IV-iron and RBC-T, including patient-reported outcomes and hematological responses.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing IV-iron and RBC-T with each other, oral iron, no treatment, and placebo for the treatment of PPA.
