Food allergy poses substantial social, economic, and quality of life burdens which are even heavier for families that are struggling with food insecurity. In the United States (US), food insecurity disproportionately affects vulnerable and historically marginalized communities, such as Latino/a/x and Black households.

Background: Chronic neuropathic pain is a major health problem that adversely affects people's physical and mental well-being, as well as their quality of life. Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) may offer a minimally invasive option earlier in the treatment continuum for adults with chronic neuropathic pain that is refractory to conventional medical management. We conducted a health technology assessment of PNS for adults with chronic neuropathic pain, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding PNS, and patient preferences and values.

Introduction: Antibiotic stewardship is a critical aspect of managing cancer patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) to limit the development of drug-resistant organisms and minimize adverse drug effects. Thus, it has been recommended that patients with FN receiving empiric antibiotics should be re-evaluated for safe antibiotic de-escalation.
Methods: Subjects treated with meropenem for febrile neutropenia who met Loyola University Medical Center's (LUMC) criteria for de-escalation were stratified based on whether meropenem was de-escalated, and 30-day all-cause mortality for both groups was assessed.
