Objectives: This study explores how ambulatory medical practices adapted their policies in response to the global COVID-19 crisis. Practice and provider characteristics were used to build an artificial intelligence model that predicts future medical practice closures during critical events.
Methods: We surveyed 261 outpatient medical practices and collected information on clinician age, gender, the protective measures implemented, closure status, and utilization of telemedicine services.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the different impacts of COVID-19 on New York City communities across varying income levels.
- High-income populations had higher transmission rates during off-peak times, but low-income areas experienced greater hospitalization and death rates overall.
- The findings highlight how the pandemic intensified existing social inequalities, with low-income neighborhoods facing more severe health outcomes despite lower infection rates.
Objective: The aim of the study is to describe rates of hematuria and other lower urinary tract symptoms, including self-reported cancer rates, among veterans postburn pits emissions exposure during deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Methods: US post-9/11 veterans with burn pits emissions exposure confirmed via DD214 forms in the Burn Pits360.org Registry were sent a modified survey.
This descriptive case series retrospectively reviewed medical records from thirty-one previously healthy, war-fighting veterans who self-reported exposure to airborne hazards while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2003 and the present. They all noted new-onset dyspnea, which began during deployment or as a military contractor. Twenty-one subjects underwent non-invasive pulmonary diagnostic testing, including maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and impulse oscillometry (IOS).
