Objective: This objective was to assess if the current practice of interfacility transfer and immediate specialty consult is justified by the rate of surgical repair for isolated medial orbital wall fractures.
Study Design: This is a retrospective descriptive study utilizing the records of all patients with isolated medial orbital wall fractures who presented to the ED at Boston Medical Center from January 2014 to December 2022. A descriptive analysis was completed.

- A study in an Israeli peripheral hospital examined the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management and outcomes of Cerebral Vascular Accidents (CVA) and ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) by comparing patient data before and during the pandemic.
- Findings indicated that while the time from arrival to imaging for CVA patients increased, the overall outcomes for CVA remained stable, and even improved for STEMI patients, who experienced shorter intervention times and reduced hospital stays.
- The mortality rates for both conditions did not significantly change, and further interviews with medical staff are being conducted to understand how quality of care was preserved throughout the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Drawing on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (1992), we asked how certain resources contribute to family resilience in families of children with ASD: family quality of life (FQOL; family resources), sense of community and loneliness (informal resources), and family-centered support provided by the state (formal resources). One hundred and twenty-one Israeli parents of children with ASD completed an online survey. Path analysis using AMOS was conducted.
