Falls are a common cause of injury, especially for adults over age 65. But adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities or cerebral palsy may also be at higher risk. Researchers analyzed more than 35.8 million emergency department visits across 21 states using 2019 emergency department data to compare fall-related emergency department visits and age-related trends among adults with and without intellectual and/or developmental disability or cerebral palsy. 

This systematic review examined 29 studies on advanced access, a scheduling model that involves keeping a substantial proportion of appointment slots open each day to accommodate same-day demand.

Racially and ethnically minoritized patients are underscreened for colorectal cancer, resulting in racial/ethnic disparities. This study examined an intervention consisting of a mailed fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to patients due for screening, plus patient navigation for positive tests, at two federally qualified health centers (FQHC) systems in North Carolina. 

 U.S. prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), a multisystem neurologic disease and debilitating chronic condition, averaged 1 million to 2.5 million before the COVID-19 pandemic. Incidence rates are now reported to be 15 times greater, related at least in part to long COVID. This retrospective chart review analyzed records of medications and supplements tried before specialty consultation from 571 adults with ME/CFS seen at a Mayo Clinic specialty clinic from 2018 to 2022.
