A newly passed Congressional spending bill contains 145 community-initiated projects in Oregon. One Eugene agency describes plans to use its allocation. The Eugene Family YMCA is expected to receive $2 million toward its Capital Campaign for a new facility. CEO Brian Steffen said besides helping to complete a state-of-the-art space, the funds will expand health and educational services for youth. "It will support STEM learning lab, pre-school spaces and education space for high school kiddos." Steffen expressed gratitude to Oregon's congressional leaders for their "visionary contributions" and said the money will help the Y avoid long term construction debt. This will in turn allow revenues to be invested in scholarships. Steffen insisted, "no individuals in our community will be turned away for a financial hardship." ...

The morbidity and mortality in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) remain high, with about one-fifth of patients experiencing amputation or death. 1 Although the mortality rate of patients with NSTIs decreased from 28.3% before 2000 to 20.6% after 2000 across data from 109 studies, the past 20 years have not seen further improvements. 1 Many of the available data on NSTIs come from observational studies and their meta-analyses. An April 2018 Cochrane Review identified only 3 randomized controlled trials evaluating medical or surgical treatments for NSTIs, with fewer than 200 patients enrolled between them. 2 The slow development of new evidence is partly due to the infrequency of NSTIs, whose published estimated incidence ranges from 0.2 to 6.9 per 100,000 person-years. 3 Given the rarity of NSTIs and limitations of the current evidence for treatment, a recent review proposed NSTIs to be "a major neglected worldwide disease." 3 This article highlights...

Over the past year American troops who exercised their legally protected medical rights were wrongfully sidelined over COVID vaccine mandates. Some were discharged while others had their careers stalled. They should all be made whole. These troops deserve fully reinstated careers, ASAP! The first step is the recent legislative action by Congress which halted the military vaccine mandate via the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023. The president signed it into law and the military stated it will "fully comply." American service members have been down this road before. Almost 20 years ago, the mandatory anthrax vaccine program was halted after federal courts found its licensing unlawful. Subsequently, the first-ever application of the Emergency Use Authorization, or EUA, law served as an interim fix to provide anthrax vaccine on a voluntary basis to troops until the FDA properly completed the licensure. This inaugural EUA is the intersection with COVID vaccine mandates. ...

The No. 3 administrative challenge facing medical practices in 2023. Editor's Note: Every year, Medical Economics® asks our physician readers what challenges they are facing in their practices. And every year, we get the same answer as the top challenge: administrative burdens. For our first issue of 2023, we decided to take a stab at fleshing out what some of those administrative burdens are and what physicians can do about them in their practice. We focused on five administrative burdens that our readers commonly tell us are major issues. It wasn't so long ago, relatively speaking, that doctors and medical practices had only a few ways of communicating with patients (and vice versa): in person, by landline telephone, or via U.S. mail. Now those days seem as quaint as the era of travel by horse and buggy. Today medical providers and patients have a myriad of new communication tools at their disposal, such as text messaging, telehealth, patient portals and social media platform...

Summary Background Human African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (gambiense HAT) in patients with late-stage disease requires hospital admission to receive nifurtimox–eflornithine combination therapy (NECT). Fexinidazole, the latest treatment that has been recommended by WHO, also requires systematic admission to hospital, which is problematic in areas with few health-care resources. We aim to assess the safety and efficacy of acoziborole in adult and adolescent patients with gambiense HAT. Methods This multicentre, prospective, open-label, single-arm, phase 2/3 study recruited patients aged 15 years or older with confirmed gambiense HAT infection from ten hospitals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Guinea. Inclusion criteria included a Karnofsky score greater than 50, ability to swallow tablets, a permanent address or traceability, ability to comply with follow-up visits and study requirements, and agreement to hospital admission during treatment.
