Exploring the care coordination experiences of professionals and caregivers of youth with acquired brain injuries in rural areas.

Purpose: Acquired brain injuries (ABIs) can have devastating effects on children and their families. Families living in rural communities experience unique barriers to receiving and coordinating care for complex medical needs, but little research has examined those barriers for rural youth with ABIs.

Materials And Methods: This qualitative study explored the experiences of rural adults caring for children with ABIs through interviews with six caregivers, three school staff members, and three medical professionals who had treated at least one child with an ABI.

Mobile Technologies for Supporting Mental Health in Youths: Scoping Review of Effectiveness, Limitations, and Inclusivity.

Background: Over the past decade, there has been growing support for the use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies to improve the availability of mental health interventions. While mHealth is a promising tool for improving access to interventions, research on the effectiveness and efficacy of mHealth apps for youths is limited, particularly for underrepresented populations, including youths of color and economically marginalized youths.

Objective: This scoping review study sought to evaluate the following research questions: (1) What is the extent of the current literature on mHealth apps that provide intervention for mental health problems in children and adolescents? (2) What is known from the existing literature about the effectiveness or efficacy of delivering mental health services via mHealth apps? (3) What are the gaps in the knowledge base in the fields of technology and mental health? (4) Do the reviewed mHealth apps address issues of cultural sensitivity or have they been tested with underrepresented groups (ie, youths of color or economically marginalized groups)?

Methods: An electronic database search was conducted using relevant search terms.

The effect of dorsal rim loss on the initial stability of the BioMedtrix cementless acetabular cup.

Background: Loss of dorsal acetabular rim (DAR) is a common sequela to canine hip dysplasia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of DAR loss on the initial stability of the cementless (BFX) acetabular cup. BFX cups were implanted into foam blocks reamed to resemble acetabulae with simulated 0, 25, 50, and 75% DAR loss.
