Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the impact of race, sex, comorbidities, and Medicaid status on health outcomes for patients with hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers (VLUs), comparing Medicare-only beneficiaries to Medicare/Medicaid dual-enrollees from October 2015 to October 2019.
  • Using Medicare claims data, the research focused on treatment methods, demographic comparisons, and quantified outcomes like ulcer closure time and quality of life metrics, finding notable differences between the two groups.
  • Results showed that dual-enrollees had a higher burden of comorbidities, greater representation from minority backgrounds, and significantly increased rates of emergency visits and cellulitis compared to Medicare-only enrollees, with early use of certain

Cumulative data indicate that new protocols of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may induce neuroplasticity and improve clinical symptoms of patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of HBOT on veterans with combat-associated PTSD (CA-PTSD) in a randomized, sham-controlled trial. Male veterans aged 25-60 years with CA-PTSD, with a Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for (CAPS-5) score above 20, were included.
