INTRODUCTION: Resident physician salaries vary by region, though it is unknown how these variations compare to differences in living wages across the United States or what factors drive residency salary discrepancies. METHODS: Publicly available resident salary information was obtained from full-service training centers containing a neurosurgical residency program via institution-specific websites in February 2023 with information on post-graduate year (PGY)-1 through PGY-7 resident compensation for 2022-2023.

Abstract:

Using 1990 U.S. Census 5% PUMS and 1991 Canadian Census 3% public and 20% restricted microfiles, this article demonstrates the existence of a North American naturalization gap: immigrants living in Canada are on average much more likely to be citizens than their counterparts in the United States, and they acquire citizenship much faster than those living south of the border. Current theories explaining naturalization differences - focusing on citizenship laws, group traits or the characteristics of individual migrants - fail to explain the naturalization gap.

Abstract:

Abstract The Elder Index is a cost of living indicator that measures the income older adults need to meet their living expenses while staying independent in the community, calculated on a county-by-county basis for the United States. Analyses based on the Elder Index show that a large segment of the age 65+ population has incomes below the Index, reflecting a level of insecurity that is considerably higher than suggested by the poverty rate. Moreover, comparison of the Elder Index to household income illustrates differences across states in the extent to which incomes cover the cost of necessa

Abstract:

Background/Objectives: Multimorbidity, defined as two or more chronic diseases co-occurring in an individual, has been linked to elevated healthcare utilization and out-of-pocket expenses. Yet, the barriers to healthcare access due to the health profile of multimorbid adults are underexplored. This study investigates the differences in delayed healthcare due to cost among adults with multimorbidity and those with one chronic disease condition. Methods: Data from the National Health Interview Survey from the years 2016–2018 and 2020–2021 were examined. The sample included 13,439 adults with at

Increasing numbers of individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness and substance use disorder are living in tent encampments in cities across the United States. In response, the City of Boston, Massachusetts employed a public health approach comprising four implementation components: centralized leadership with cross-agency collaboration, creation of low-threshold spaces, person-centered engagement, and stakeholder-driven long-term planning. These steps led to the equitable transition of unsheltered individuals into harm reduction spaces and formed the foundation for future planning and e

Greenways are recognized as an essential tool to build sustainable communities. An example in the United States are the rail trails where decommissioned rail corridors are being improved to provide the benefits of non-motorized transportation systems for recreation and exercise, and the daily commute to school, work and shopping. Yet despite these benefits some still argue the presence of the rail trail as a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard).

Abstract:

Reading problems for adults and school-age students have significant and varied costs. Existing as an illiterate citizen in the United States has monetary consequences such as living expenses, career relevance, and societal advancement. American employers spend money to edify prospective employees in areas of remedial reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Educators must act on scientific research to select appropriate literacy curriculum to teach students to read. As reading is not a natural process, teachers must teach students to read using materials aligned with the science of reading.

Building on earlier work by the Center for Migration Studies (CMS), the article offers exhaustive estimates on essential workers on a national level, by state, for large metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), and for smaller communities that heavily rely on immigrant labor.

Background: In the senior author’s (X.L.) orthopaedic sports medicine clinic in the United States (US), patients appear to have difficulty finding physical therapy (PT) practices that accept Medicaid insurance for postoperative rehabilitation. Purpose: To determine access to PT services for privately insured patients versus those with Medicaid who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the largest metropolitan area in the state of Massachusetts, which underwent Medicaid expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act.

Abstract:

Abstract Individuals testing positive for BRCA1/2 genetic mutations, or hereditary breast and ovarian cancer mutations, are 33-55% more likely than women without these mutations to develop breast and/or ovarian cancers before the age of 70. While research involving these genetic mutations continues to emerge, there remains unanswered questions regarding prophylactic experiences and subsequent impacts on mental health within subgroups of BRCA1/2-positive women. The purpose of this analysis was to explore the impact of BRCA1/2 mutations, prophylactic surgeries, and surveillance regimens within t

Abstract:

Bartók’s American estate dates its origins to 1943, when he entrusted his music manuscript collection to the care of two fellow Hungarian emigrés, Gyula Báron and Victor Bator, both then living in the United States. After his death in 1945 the estate devolved into their care, in accord with the legal provisions of the will. For the next 22 years it was carefully managed by Bator, a lawyer and businessman who lived in New York City for the rest of his life. The onset of Cold War politics in the late 1940s presented numerous challenges to the estate, out of which emerged the tangled thicket of r

Abstract Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of advanced liver disease and death. In the United States about 3.5 million people are living with HCV, but only 50% are aware of the infection, 16% are prescribed treatment, and only 9% achieve sustained viral response. The World Health Organization published an HCV elimination goal for 2030 that strives to achieve a 65% reduction in HCV-related deaths and 90% reduction in transmission. An important step toward this goal is micro-elimination at local hospitals by addressing care gaps in the HCV care cascade. Figure 1 Methods We cr

Abstract:

Abstract Cancer disparities arise from structural racism in the United States, which affects overall standard of living due to unequal access to crucial resources. Barriers in access to clinical care among under-served populations in combination with a vast underrepresentation at a scientific research level further perpetuate inequalities in cancer treatment. Specifically, Black women in the US are approximately twice as likely as Caucasian women to die of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), a particularly aggressive breast cancer subset, lacking expression of estrogen receptors, progesteron

Abstract:

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a potentially curative treatment for individuals diagnosed with blood cancers and disorders. Most transplant centers (TCs) require a caregiver for 24 hours per day, seven days per week, for at least 100 days post-alloHCT. However, there is limited knowledge of the evidence behind this requirement. Additionally, these requirements can have implications for caregivers in multiple aspects of their lives. This study aimed to learn more about alloHCT caregiver experiences in the first 100 days post-alloHCT to explore the impact

Drawing on four nationally representative surveys, we estimate that a household containing an adult with a work disability requires, on average, 29% more income (or an additional $18,322 a year for a household at the median income level) to obtain the same standard of living as a comparable household without a member with a disability.
