Background: Musculoskeletal problems, or aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal syndrome, in the hands and wrists is a known side effect of aromatase inhibitor medication, often prescribed for 5years or more for breast cancer survivors. No studies were found on the effectiveness of hand therapy for breast cancer survivors experiencing aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal syndrome in the hands and wrists.
Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of hand therapy on reducing hand and wrist pain, improving grip strength, improving upper extremity function, and improving health related quality of life in breast cancer survivors diagnosed with aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal syndrome in the hands and wrists.

Diabetes-related foot disease is arguably the world's least known major health problem and causes a disease burden larger than most well-known diseases, such as stroke and breast cancer. This burden is driven by people developing more severe stages of foot disease, such as foot ulcers and infections, and with that worsening quality of life. To reduce this burden, we need treatments that prevent more severe stages of foot disease and improve quality of life.

Background: Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and homelessness are major public health problems with elevated prevalence among people diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD). While CSA is a known risk factor for homelessness, little research has examined sex differences in the relationship between CSA and adult homelessness among people with BD.
Methods: This study tested whether sex moderates the CSA-homelessness relationship such that greater CSA severity predicts higher risk of adult homelessness for females but not males.

Purpose: Adolescents and young adult survivors of head and neck cancers are at risk of long-term complications stemming from their diagnosis and treatment. A cross-sectional study was performed on recalled survivors with the objective of reviewing their response to recall and preferences for ongoing care, to determine health service use before recall, and to describe knowledge and information seeking.
Methods: Survivors of head and neck cancer diagnosed between the ages 15-39 during the period 1970-2010 and treated with radiotherapy were invited to the survey.

Importance: Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health problem in the US. Estimating national rates of antimicrobial-resistant infections commonly associated with health care can aid in targeted public health efforts.
Objective: To determine the national incidence rates of 6 pathogens over time: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp (VRE), extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp (excluding Klebsiella aerogenes) (ESCR-EK), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE), carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp (CRAsp), and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
