GCC is high among YAs with breast cancer. The effects of sociodemographic factors and treatment facility size on GCC differ by subtype. Consistent with recommendations, tumor biology, not age, is associated with GCC for all subtypes. Future studies should assess the effect of GCC on survival among YAs.

Geriatrician impact on patient and system outcomes in formal rehabilitation settings has not been well described to date. We studied the effect of adding a geriatric medicine consultation service to a geriatric focused rehabilitation setting providing care to dialysis and non-dialysis patients.
A pre- and post-retrospective observational cohort study from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2019 on all consecutively admitted adults aged 65 and older to general rehabilitation program, and adults aged 60 and older to specialized dialysis rehabilitation program, within a 25 bed general rehabilitation unit in a large urban academic rehabilitation center in Toronto, Ontario. Data were analyzed with quality improvement methodology including Statistical Process Control charts (XmR and U charts).
Addition of a geriatric medicine service providing automatic comprehensive geriatric assessment and co-management consultative services for all admitted patients from admission onwards who met criteria for the intervention. Ths intervention contributes to important gains in functional independence in reduced time for older adults receiving inpatient rehabilitative care.
Introduction of a geriatric medicine service for rehabilitation inpatients was associated with significant FIM score improvements. Our results suggest this intervention contributes to important gains in functional independence in reduced time for older adults receiving inpatient rehabilitative care.
Fractures in late life are highly consequential for health, services use, and spending. AR-A014418 concentration Little is known about trends in extremity fracture hospitalizations among older adults in the United States.
Retrospective longitudinal cohort study.
The 2003-2017 National Inpatient Sample (NIS), a representative sample of U.S. community hospitals.
Hospitalized adults aged 65 and older with a diagnosis of upper or lower extremity fracture.
Incidence of extremity fracture hospitalization and mortality, using NIS discharge and trend weights, and population denominators derived from the U.S. Census Bureau. Incidence was reported separately for men and women by age, fracture diagnosis, and injury mechanism. Weighted linear regression was used to test for significant trends over time.
Incidence of extremity fracture hospitalizations declined in both women (15.7%, p trend < 0.001) and men (3.2%, p trend < 0.001) between 2003 and 2017. This trend was primarily attributed to a decline in low energy femur fracturidence of fracture hospitalization from high energy injuries among men suggests that older adults with complex injuries will be seen with more prevalence in the future.
Adults seeking behavioral health or medical treatment (N = 158) were recruited from a community healthcare agency and a residential support program in the southeastern United States.
Individuals who reported interpersonal trauma had significantly higher total PTS severity and symptom clusters. No significant difference was found in perceived PTG based on trauma type. No significant curvilinear relationship between PTS and perceived PTG was found. A significant negative linear relationship was observed between PTS and perceived PTG for non-interpersonal trauma, but not interpersonal trauma.
Trauma type may influence the PTS and perceived PTG relationship and, while associated with PTS, seems less important to reporting of perceived PTG.

Interesting data and theories have emerged regarding auditory hallucinations (AHs) in patients with schizophrenia. The possibility that these patients may have changes in the anatomy of the auditory cortex and/or subcortical structures of the central auditory nervous system and present with deficits on audiological tests is important information to the audiology community. However, it seems clear that, in general, audiologists are not sufficiently aware of these findings.
There are two main purposes of this article (1) to educate audiologists about AHs related to schizophrenia and related issues, and (2) to encourage audiologists and hearing scientists to become involved in the evaluation and research of AHs. This fascinating disorder is one in which audiologists/hearing scientists are well suited to make a significant contribution.
A review and synthesis of the literature was conducted. Relevant literature was identified through PubMed, Google Scholar, as well as independent book chapters and articlaudiologists are well-trained to make significant contributions.
Neurobiological and audiological evidence is accumulating on patients with schizophrenia and AH potentially rendering it as both an auditory and psychiatric disorder. Audiologists should consider expanding their horizon and playing a role in the clinical investigation of this disorder.

Masseter vestibular evoked myogenic potential (mVEMP) is a recent tool for the assessment of vestibular and trigeminal pathways. Though a few studies have recorded mVEMP using click stimuli, there are no reports of these potentials using the more conventional VEMP eliciting stimuli, the tone bursts.
The aim of the study is to establish normative values and determine the test-retest reliability of tone burst evoked mVEMP.
The research design type is normative study design.
Forty-four healthy participants without hearing and vestibular deficits in the age range of 18 to 50 years participated in the study.
All participants underwent mVEMP testing using 500 Hz tone-burst stimuli at 125 dB peSPL. Ten participants underwent second mVEMP testing within 1 month of the initial testing to estimate the test-retest reliability.
Tone burst mVEMP showed robust responses in all participants. There were no significant ear and sex differences on any mVEMP parameter (
> 0.05); however, males had significantly higher EMG normalized peak-to-peak amplitude than females.
