Trends in outpatient dermatology appointment wait times for United States (US) veterans are poorly characterized. Given concerns surrounding prolonged wait times at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical facilities, the federal government introduced the Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Outside Networks (MISSION) Act in 2018, allowing veterans to receive VHA-reimbursed community care if VHA specialty care appointments cannot be scheduled within 28 days. Considering this expanded access to community care, we characterized among US veterans the (1) overall demand for dermatology appointments, (2) trends in average wait times, and (3) facility/geographic variation in wait times.

Article Synopsis
  • Effective longitudinal biomarkers, like cerebral perfusion, are crucial for tracking disease progression in presymptomatic genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD) carriers.
  • The study examined cerebral perfusion in various genetic FTD groups using advanced MRI techniques and found declines in gray matter perfusion across all groups, with specific regional patterns.
  • Results suggest that monitoring cerebral perfusion could serve as an early biomarker for detecting FTD before symptoms appear, especially highlighting differences among genetic subgroups.
