Outpatient Rehabilitation Utilization After Major Limb Loss in Adults Receiving Care in the Military Health System From 2001 to 2017.

Objective: To investigate exposures associated with outpatient rehabilitation encounters among Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries with major limb loss.

Design: Retrospective, cohort study.

Setting: American military treatment facilities and civilian health care facilities that accept TRICARE benefits.

Health Care Utilization After Major Limb Loss in Adults (18-64) Receiving Care in the Military Health System From 2001 to 2017.

Objective: To characterize and quantify health care utilization of Military Health System beneficiaries with major limb loss.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Military treatment facilities and civilian health care facilities that accept TRICARE insurance across the United States.

Healthcare Utilization Following Hemipelvectomy or Hip Disarticulation in the Military Health System.

Introduction: Amputations at the hip and pelvic level are often performed secondary to high-energy trauma or pelvic neoplasms and are frequently associated with a prolonged postoperative rehabilitation course that involves a multitude of health care providers. The purpose of this study was to examine the health care utilization of patients with hip- and pelvic-level amputations that received care in the U.S.

Patients with SARS-CoV-2-Induced Viral Sepsis Simultaneously Show Immune Activation, Impaired Immune Function and a Procoagulatory Disease State.

Background: It is widely accepted that SARS-CoV-2 causes a dysregulation of immune and coagulation processes. In severely affected patients, viral sepsis may result in life endangering multiple organ dysfunction. Furthermore, most therapies for COVID-19 patients target either the immune system or coagulation processes.

Retrospective Examination of Service Dog Training Program Participation and Mental Healthcare Utilization.

Objective: To investigate the association between Service Dog Training Program (SDTP) participation and mental health care utilization.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation clinic at a large military treatment facility.

Releasing the concept of HLA-allele specific peptide anchors in viral infections: A non-canonical naturally presented human cytomegalovirus-derived HLA-A*24:02 restricted peptide drives exquisite immunogenicity.

T-cell receptors possess the unique ability to survey and respond to their permanently modified ligands, self HLA-I molecules bound to non-self peptides of various origin. This highly specific immune function is impaired following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for a timespan of several months needed for the maturation of T-cells. Especially, the progression of HCMV disease in immunocompromised patients induces life-threatening situations.
