This study examined changes in provider and staff burnout in 4 Boston-area federally qualified community health centers (FQHCs) participating in a pediatric behavioral health integration project. Utilizing the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSSMP), the study found that emotional exhaustion among primary care providers ( M = 20.5; confidence interval [CI], 17.8-23.2) was higher ( P = .001) than that among behavioral health clinicians ( M = 13.6; CI, 10.4-16.8) and ( P = .00005) community health workers ( M = 10.8; CI, 7.3-14.2). Emotional exhaustion among staff increased ( P = .04) from baseline ( M = 16.8; CI, 15.0-18.6) to follow-up ( M = 20.8; CI, 17.5-24.2), but burnout at follow-up was lower than national averages. FQHCs are integral in caring for marginalized patients; therefore, supporting a stable workforce by minimizing burnout is essential.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of L-arginine and L-citrulline (precursor of L-arginine) on the prevention and treatment of pre-eclampsia.

Aim: We applied the Institute of Medicine (IOM) definition of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare to estimate disparities in alcohol-related problems. This estimation involved adjusting for drinking patterns, gender and age, with observed disparities further explained by socioeconomic status (SES). We compared results of five statistical approaches which use different methods for adjusting covariates.

Aim: Total proctocolectomy (TPC) is the standard of care for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and dysplasia not amenable to endoscopic management. However, the risks of an extensive resection may outweigh the benefits in high-risk surgical patients. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess postoperative outcomes between segmental colectomy (SEG) versus TPC in patients with UC.
