This study was intended to show the acceptance of the x-ray certificate ("Röntgenpass") by patients since its introduction 3 1/2 years ago. The study revealed that only 24.3% were informed about this certificate, although 69.7% of all patients had already had an x-ray examination during this period. 6.5% of the patients in the study had this certificate. To avoid unnecessary x-ray examinations all radiologists should inform their patients about this certificate and should make it available to interested persons.

Addressing racial and ethnic disparities in premature exits from permanent supportive housing among residents with substance use disorders.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Center for the Study of Healthcare Innovation, Implementation, and Policy (CSHIIP), Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an evidence-based practice for reducing homelessness that subsidizes permanent, independent housing and provides case management-including linkages to health services. Substance use disorders (SUDs) are common contributing factors towards premature, unwanted ("negative") PSH exits; little is known about racial/ethnic differences in negative PSH exits among residents with SUDs. Within the nation's largest PSH program at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), we examined relationships among SUDs and negative PSH exits (for up to five years post-PSH move-in) across racial/ethnic subgroups.

Greater residential greenness is associated with reduced epigenetic aging in adults.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Office of Research and Development, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 104 Mason Farm Rd., Chapel Hill, NC, 27514, USA.
Potential pathways linking urban green spaces to improved health include relaxation, stress alleviation, and improved immune system functioning. Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) is a composite biomarker of biological aging based on DNA methylation measurements; it is predictive of morbidity and mortality. This cross-sectional study of 116 adult residents of a metropolitan area in central North Carolina investigated associations between exposure to residential green spaces and EAA using four previously developed epigenetic age formulas.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Akershus University Hospital, Lørenskog, Norway.
Introduction: Diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU) is the leading cause for lower extremity amputations (LEAs) in western countries, and may cause social isolation, depression, and death. However, people with DFU are not offered the same prioritized care as cancer patients, despite comparable mortality rates. We therefore decided to create a clinical pathway for patients with DFU.
