A Model for Rapid Transition to Virtual Care, VA Connecticut Primary Care Response to COVID-19.

Introduction: Traditionally, health care delivery in the USA has been structured around in-person visits. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift to virtual care models in order to reduce patient exposure to high-risk environments and to preserve valuable health care resources. This report describes one large primary care system's model for rapid transition to virtual care (RTVC).

Team-Based Hypertension Management to Improve Blood Pressure Control.

Objective: Hypertension is the most common condition seen in primary care, occurring in 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The patient-centered medical home provides an opportunity for proactive, team-based care of hypertension. The purpose of this pilot study was to measure the effectiveness of a team-based approach to blood pressure management in a busy, primary care setting.

Combined effects of a valgus knee brace and lateral wedge foot orthotic on the external knee adduction moment in patients with varus gonarthrosis.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that a custom-fit valgus knee brace and custom-made lateral wedge foot orthotic will have greatest effects on decreasing the external knee adduction moment during gait when used concurrently.

Design: Proof-of-concept, single test session, crossover trial.

Setting: Biomechanics laboratory within a tertiary care center.
