Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine and Oregon Health & Science University-Portland State University School of Public Health, Portland, OR, USA.
Background: There is limited evidence on interventions to address the health needs of vulnerable patients in permanent supportive housing (PSH).
Aim, Setting, Participants: Evaluate the feasibility of Project HOPE, a weekly onsite primary care pilot intervention for tenants of a single-site PSH program.
Program Description: Physicians, nursing, and pharmacy providers work with existing case managers to provide onsite routine and acute care, outreach, and care coordination.
Background: Patients with diabetes and diffuse infrageniculate arterial disease who present with chronic limb-threatening ischemia require an exact anatomical plan for revascularization. Advanced pedal duplex can be used to define possible routes for revascularization. In addition, pedal acceleration time (PAT) can predict the success or failure of both medical and surgical interventions.

Article Synopsis
- The management of blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) has significantly improved over the past decade with the introduction of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), though its long-term benefits are still debated.
- A study of 316 BTAI patients across multiple trauma centers found no significant difference in in-hospital mortality rates between TEVAR, open surgical repair, and nonoperative management, although TEVAR patients tended to be older and had different injury characteristics.
- Overall, the study indicates a decline in BTAI mortality rates, but highlights the need for better follow-up and monitoring post-TEVAR treatment.
