Objective: To use online screening and virtual patient education tools to improve the provision of hereditary cancer risk assessment.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, single-arm study in which clinicians at five U.S.
There is interest among technical, expedition, commercial, and military divers in expanding diving operations to high altitude. However, altitude diving presents unique challenges including acclimatization, increased decompression sickness (DCS) risk, and logistical and equipment considerations. Divers must plan altitude acclimatization strategies conservatively to reduce risk of acute mountain sickness and dehydration before diving.

Here, we present a longitudinal validation of CRS in a real-world cohort.
Methods: This study included 130,058 patients referred for hereditary cancer genetic testing and negative for germline pathogenic variants in BC-associated genes.
Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) are a key population for treatment with direct-acting antiviral medications (DAAs) to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV). We developed a Pharmacist, Physician, and Patient Navigator Collaborative Care Model (PPP-CCM) for delivery of HCV treatment; this study describes clinical outcomes related to HCV treatment (initial evaluation, treatment initiation, completion, and cure), as well as patient satisfaction.
Methods: We conducted a single-arm prospective pilot study of adult PWID living with HCV.
