The Impact of Recreational Marijuana Legalization on Simple Assault in Oregon.

There has been heightened public concern about the implications of recreational marijuana legalization to public safety. Prior research on this issue has primarily focused on Colorado and Washington State-the two states that first legalized recreational marijuana in the U.S.

Management of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency in Cleft Patients With and Without Multidisciplinary Team Care.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of an American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA)-approved multidisciplinary team on velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) diagnosis and treatment.

Design: Retrospective cohort setting; tertiary children's hospital patients; children with cleft palate repair identified through procedure codes.

Main Outcome Measures: Velopharyngeal insufficiency diagnosis was assigned based on surgeon or team assessment.

Development of a Novel Computational Model for Evaluating Fall Risk in Patient Room Design.

Objectives: This study proposes a computational model to evaluate patient room design layout and features that contribute to patient stability and mitigate the risk of fall.

Background: While common fall risk assessment tools in nursing have an acceptable level of sensitivity and specificity, they focus on intrinsic factors and medications, making risk assessment limited in terms of how the physical environment contributes to fall risk.

Methods: We use literature to inform a computational model (algorithm) to define the relationship between these factors and the risk of fall.
