Justin Huber, Nicholas Elwert, Elizabeth Salmon Powell, Philip M Westgate, Emily Hines, Lumy Sawaki
Stroke remains a major public health concern in the United States and a leading cause of long-term disability in adults. Dynamic body weight support (DBWS) systems are popular technology available for use in clinical settings such inpatient rehabilitation. However, there remains limited studies in such inpatient settings that compare DBWS to standard of care (SOC) using real world outcome measures. For survivors of acute ischemic stroke, we determine if incorporating a dynamic body weight support (DBWS) system into inpatient therapy offers greater improvement than standard of care (SOC).
Evaluation of academic detailing to educate clinicians regarding childhood lead poisoning prevention: a pilot study
Nicholas C Newman, Jacqueline M Knapke, Rachael Kiniyalocts, John Belt, Erin Haynes
Environmental exposures are associated with approximately 19% of disease globally, and exposure to neurotoxic chemicals is estimated to cost the United States $50 billion per year. Despite calls from the Institute of Medicine to increase training for clinicians regarding environmental health since the 1990s, there is still little instruction in environmental health for clinicians. This leaves gaps in knowledge that need to be bridged through outreach and education to practicing clinicians.
