The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify how low-income older women with disabilities perceive pain, pain management, and communication with healthcare providers. We interviewed 26 low-income women (average age 75 years; SD 7.0), eliciting the following overarching themes "Invisibility of Pain Unnoticed or Undetected," "Escalating Pain Leads to Help Seeking," "Communication with Healthcare Providers and Outcomes," "Pain Management Facilitates Function and Accomplishment," and "The Intersection of Pain, Disability, and Depressive Symptoms." Study findings support the ways in which behavior changes from pain can impede pain management.Numerous studies have been conducted to design new strategies for breast cancer treatment. Past studies have shown a wide range of carbon-nanomaterials properties, such as single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this regard, the current study aims to review the role of both SWCNTs and MWCNTs in breast cancer treatment and diagnosis. For reaching this goal, we reviewed the literature by using various searching engines such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and MEDLINE. This comprehensive review showed that CNTs could dramatically improve breast cancer treatment and could be used as a novel modality to increase diagnostic accuracy; however, no clinical studies have been conducted based on CNTs. In addition, the literature review demonstrates a lack of enough studies to evaluate the side effects of using CNTs.Medicaid provides essential coverage for health care and long-term services and supports (LTSS) to low-income older adults and disabled individuals but eligibility is complicated and restrictive. In light of the current public health emergency, states have been given new authority to streamline and increase the flexibility of Medicaid LTSS eligibility, helping them enroll eligible individuals and ensure that current beneficiaries are not inadvertently disenrolled. Though state budgets are under increased pressure during the economic crisis created by the coronavirus, we caution states against cutting Medicaid LTSS eligibility or services to balance their budgets. These services are critical to an especially vulnerable population during a global pandemic.While there is a growing literature on home care workers, less is known about how home care companies market their services. Through a content analysis of the 19 largest U.S. home care and home health providers' websites, we examined how companies describe services, desired outcomes of care, and job responsibilities and qualifications. Companies actively market family-like relationships as central to "good care". However, companies' emphasis on unmeasurable skills such as compassion and warmth may also create exploitative work environments. Supporting "good care" requires improved data collection, industry oversight, and policy change to recognize socio-emotional care and protect a marginalized workforce.Older adults in rural areas of the U.S. face unique risks related to COVID-19. Rural areas are older, on average, than urban areas, and have more underlying health conditions and fewer economic resources. Rural health care is more limited, as is access to technology and online connectivity. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/AZD0530.html Altogether, this puts rural older adults at risk of not only the virus, but of not being able to meet their health care, social, and basic needs. Rural/urban inequities, combined with within-rural inequities in health, health care, and financial resources cause particular challenges to health and well-being from COVID-19 for some older adults.Hearing amplification is the mainstay of treatment for presbycusis, but adherence with this therapy remains abysmally low, necessitating the exploration of other treatment modalities. Mineralocorticoids represent one such novel treatment modality. Although research on mineralocorticoids to prevent and retard presbycusis in humans shows promise and the potential to radically change the way clinicians approach age-related hearing loss, it remains in its infancy. Future studies that further evaluate the safety and efficacy of mineralocorticoids for presbycusis are still required for this potentially paradigm shifting therapy to gain widespread acceptance.This article explores why racial and income health disparities continue to exist in the United States. Poverty and racism are the primary drivers of the social problem which impact social determinants of health for vulnerable populations. The theoretical frameworks of conflict theory and critical race theory contextualize the causes and provide direction for overhauling public health policy in general and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) in particular. Although the Affordable Care Act was implemented to increase health coverage, economic and racial health inequities still exist in the United States. Policy recommendations for improving the health and welfare of low-income minorities include 1) impacting poverty itself by desegregating urban areas of concentrated poverty, and 2) impacting racial discrimination in health care by putting the voices of African-American patients in the forefront to inform culturally relevant policy and practice.Aims Diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome (CES) remains difficult; clinical assessment has low accuracy in reliably predicting MRI compression of the cauda equina (CE). This prospective study tests the usefulness of ultrasound bladder scans as an adjunct for diagnosing CES. Methods A total of 260 patients with suspected CES were referred to a tertiary spinal unit over a 16-month period. All were assessed by Board-eligible spinal surgeons and had transabdominal ultrasound bladder scans for pre- and post-voiding residual (PVR) volume measurements before lumbosacral MRI. Results The study confirms the low predictive value of 'red flag' symptoms and signs. Of note 'bilateral sciatica' had a sensitivity of 32.4%, and a positive predictive value (PPV) of only 17.2%, and negative predictive value (NPV) 88.3%. Use of a PVR volume of ≥ 200 ml was a demonstrably more accurate test for predicting cauda equina compression on subsequent MRI (p less then 0.001). The PVR sensitivity was 94.1%, specificity 66.8%, PPV 29.9% and NPV 98.
