Few interventions have been developed to address the needs of older Veterans in HUD-VASH.

Research Design And Methods: We conducted a 2-stage study to inform the development of an intervention to promote aging in place in HUD-VASH.

Endoscopic Endonasal Trans-Sphenoidal Minimally Invasive Pituitary Surgery with Image Guided Navigation System (Igns): Learning Experience of Ent Surgeon: First Author.

Unlabelled: Introduction- Endoscopic minimally invasive pituitary surgery (MIPS) is advantageous over microscopic technique, as it provides superior close up, wide angle view of surgical target area. Image guided navigation system (IGNS) guides the surgeon to localize the lesion. In the present study we analyzed the Image Guided Surgical procedure and outcome of Endoscopic minimally invasive pituitary surgery and shared our experiences regarding disease clearance.

Operationalizing Equity, Inclusion, and Access in Research Practice at a Large Academic Institution.

Introduction: Healthcare advances are hindered by underrepresentation in prospective research; sociodemographic, data, and measurement infidelity in retrospective research; and a paucity of guidelines surrounding equitable research practices.

Objective: The Joint Research Practices Working Group was created in 2021 to develop and disseminate guidelines for the conduct of inclusive and equitable research.

Methods: Volunteer faculty and staff from two research centers at the University of Pennsylvania initiated a multi-pronged approach to guideline development, including literature searches, center-level feedback, and mutual learning with local experts.
