Safety and Feasibility of Peanut, Tree Nut, and Sesame Oral Immunotherapy in Infants and Toddlers in a Real-World Setting.

Background: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy has been largely studied in older children within the context of clinical trials, and its availability has historically been limited for younger patients with food allergy. Data have shown that the most impact may actually be seen with the use of OIT in younger infants and toddlers.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of OIT in subjects 24 months and younger in a real-world setting using commercially available food products.

Short term temporal outcomes after intramedullary fixation of lateral malleolus fractures.

Ankle fractures are a common intra-articular trauma. The gold standard treatment for unstable ankle fractures has been Open Reduction Internal Fixation with plating and lag screw(s). Advocates for intramedullary nailing of the fibula note decreased wound complications and greater biomechanical strength.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Control Following Release From Carceral Facilities: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Incarceration is a social determinant of cardiovascular health but is rarely addressed in clinical settings or public health prevention efforts. People who have been incarcerated are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) at younger ages and have worse cardiovascular outcomes compared with the general population, even after controlling for traditional risk factors. This study aims to identify incarceration-specific factors that are associated with uncontrolled CVD risk factors to identify potential targets for prevention.

How Should a Medical-Legal Partnership Address Unique Needs of People With Criminal Legal System Involvement?

Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) are well suited to address health-harming legal needs associated with the collateral consequences of mass incarceration in the United States, such as those that limit access to food, housing, employment, and family reunification postrelease. MLP innovations seek to expand the current model to address patients' criminal, as well as postrelease, civil legal needs by including community health workers and some patients as legal partners and creating coalitions to promote local and state policy change. Overall, this article explains how these MLP innovations can support rights of people returning to communities after incarceration and can be leveraged to mitigate criminal legal system involvement.

Buprenorphine-naloxone vs. extended-release naltrexone for opioid use disorder in individuals with and without criminal legal involvement: A secondary analysis of the X:BOT randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: There is uncertainty about whether criminal legal involvement (CLI) impacts the effectiveness of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). We aimed to determine whether CLI modifies the association between buprenorphine-naloxone (BUP-NX) vs. extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX) and MOUD treatment outcomes.
