Purpose: College students are at higher risk for problematic substance use and disordered eating. Few studies have examined the comorbid risks associated with OCD despite the increased prevalence of OCD among young adults. This study examined substance use and disordered eating risk associated with OCD conditions among college students and how this association may vary by sex/gender.

Early initiation of OIT in infants and toddlers has been embraced as an approach to increase the likelihood of remission. However, there is no high-quality evidence supporting younger age as an independent factor driving remission; available studies are limited by small samples of younger subjects and lack of adjustment for confounding covariates, particularly peanut-specific IgE (sIgE) levels which is closely correlated with age.

Purpose: Despite the disproportionate impact of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on Hispanic patients, reported outcomes are limited, particularly among subpopulations. Our study aimed to evaluate outcomes in access to care and survival among racial and ethnic Hispanic subpopulations.
Methods: The National Cancer Database was then utilized to identify patients diagnosed with HCC between 2004 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Hearing loss is linked to higher mortality rates, especially among workers in high-risk jobs, but using hearing aids can reduce this risk significantly.
- A study of over 19,000 DOE workers found that 41.3% had hearing loss, with 15.3% using hearing aids, leading to 5,398 deaths during an 11.1-year follow-up.
- Results showed that severe hearing loss increases mortality risk, while hearing aid users had a 30% lower risk of death, suggesting improvements in workers' compensation and medical benefits for noise-exposed workers are needed.
Central line dressings (CLDs) may be associated with adverse skin reactions in hospitalized children. Currently, standardized protocols to guide the management of cutaneous CLD reactions are unavailable at our children's hospital and in the pediatric literature. We surveyed dermatologists at multiple institutions who routinely perform pediatric consults to assess their management practices and/or the use of standardized protocols for addressing adverse cutaneous reactions to CLDs.
