Developing Topics.

Background: Shortcomings in primary and specialty healthcare access in rural communities create substantial health disparities among older adults, especially in areas of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Telehealth stations in community centers increase healthcare access to patients thereby improving modifiable risk factors for ADRD. The objective of this project was to assess facilitators, barriers, and opportunities of telehealth use for older adults within rural community centers.

Anaphylactic reaction with avitene: a pediatric case report.

Anaphylaxis is an unanticipated severe allergic reaction that can occur during a surgical procedure. A patient is exposed to myriad foreign substances during surgery, such as anesthetic drugs, blood products, and surgical materials, including a commonly used hemostatic agent called Avitene Microfibrillar Collagen Hemostat. Anaphylaxis is the most severe immune-mediated reaction, and it generally occurs on reexposure to a specific antigen.
