Introduction: Many Americans fail to receive equitable access to or positive outcomes from rehabilitation services. These disparities result from broader societal inequities that disproportionately affect certain groups of people due to non-medical factors such as race, gender, education and living status. This scoping review aims to describe research papers that examine social determinants of health (SDOH) that underlie disparities in access to, use of, or outcomes related to rehabilitation (in occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreational therapy, rehabilitation medicine/physiatry and speech-language pathology) among adults in the USA.

The objective of this scoping review is to summarize how CRF has been defined and assessed in adult patients with cancer worldwide.
Methods: Four databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Plus, PsycNet) were searched to identify eligible original research articles published in English over a 10-year span (2010-2020); CRF was required to be a primary outcome and described as a dimensional construct.
Article Synopsis
- - Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic disorder caused by SHANK3 haploinsufficiency, leading to various neurodevelopmental and systemic issues.
- - Updated clinical management guidelines for PMS were created by an expert taskforce to incorporate recent findings and provide comprehensive support for clinicians and the community.
- - The new guidelines improve the assessment and management of PMS, while also noting the need for ongoing research to refine treatment recommendations as more information becomes available.
