An Assessment of the Social Determinants of Health in an Urban Emergency Department.

Introduction: Social determinants of health (SDOH) have significant impacts on patients who seek care in the emergency department (ED). We administered a social needs screening tool and needs assessment survey to assess SDOH and evaluate for trends in the population of patients visiting our ED.

Methods: A survey was distributed via convenience sampling to adult ED patients to capture self-reported demographic information and data about social needs.

Hierarchy of transcriptomic specialization across human cortex captured by structural neuroimaging topography.

Hierarchy provides a unifying principle for the macroscale organization of anatomical and functional properties across primate cortex, yet microscale bases of specialization across human cortex are poorly understood. Anatomical hierarchy is conventionally informed by invasive tract-tracing measurements, creating a need for a principled proxy measure in humans. Moreover, cortex exhibits marked interareal variation in gene expression, yet organizing principles of cortical transcription remain unclear.
