Abstract Introduction In times of crisis, medical institutions must utilize contingency plans to ensure the highest quality of patient care. When these plans are overwhelmed, crisis standards of care may be adopted, resulting in modifications in resource allocation. The current coronavirus pandemic has created tremendous strains on hospitals throughout the world, with periodic shortages in equipment, PPE, ICU beds, and personnel. These pressures have been great enough at times to result in several states implementing crisis standards of care to allow hospitals to triage patients and "do the mo

Mandated collaborative or supervisory agreements are a restriction to practice for nurse practitioners (NPs) in the United States. According to the Pearson Report (Pearson, 2012), 18 states and the District of Columbia allow NPs to practice without mandated agreements. Progress toward autonomy is being made as many states remove collaborative agreement requirements. These victories are significant but many NPs continue to work in restrictive practice environments. Stiff opposition from the American Medical Association (AMA) is one obstacle to removing these restrictions. Opponents to the remov

ABSTRACT: This commentary highlights the Licensed Physician Censuses published biennially by the Federation of State Medical Boards between 2010 to 2022 and provides an overview of the forthcoming census, which will be featured in the next issue of the Journal of Medical Regulation. These censuses identify all actively licensed physicians in the US and the District of Columbia, offering critical insights into demographic, educational, and licensure trends. By analyzing physician workforce patterns, these comprehensive snapshots help inform policymakers and healthcare professionals about workfo

Abstract:

School environments are an optimal setting to promote healthy student diets, yet it is unclear what role state and district policies play in shaping school contexts. This study examined how state and district policies are associated with school-reported practices for promoting student participation in school lunch programs. School nutrition manager data were obtained from the School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study’s (SNMCS) sample of 1210 schools in 46 states and the District of Columbia (DC) during school year 2014–2015. Relevant state laws and district policies were compiled and coded. Multiva

The single largest contributor to infant mortality in the District of Columbia, and elsewhere in the United States, is immaturity.

The cause of their premature birth is not known. It is not just teenage pregnancy, poor maternal nutrition, infectious disease, cigarette smoking, drug abuse or alcohol—although each of these is statistically associated with an increased risk for early delivery.

Abstract:

Washington, D.C.’s City Council has recently taken the first step towards legalizing the use of “medical marijuana” in accordance with the provisions of the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1998 (Initiative 59). This action was not overruled by the United States Congress within the 30-day deadline imposed by the District of Columbia’s Home Rule Statute. The Council is now crafting regulations that will govern the therapeutic and palliative use of this drug with the goal of avoiding some of the problems faced by the other states that have legalized medical marijuana

ABSTRACT There are 1,018,776 licensed physicians in the United States and the District of Columbia, representing a physician workforce that is 20% larger than it was a decade ago, according to data from 2020 compiled by the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). The licensed physician population has grown in number relative to the total population, but concerns about a doctor shortage remain as both the general and physician populations age. Late career physicians generally work fewer hours and retire at higher rates, while younger physicians place more emphasis on work-life balance that m

Abstract:

BENJAMIN BANNEKER was a farmer, scholar, mathematical wizard, and a selftaught astronomer and surveyor. An African American, he was born a free man in Maryland in 1731. At the age of twenty-two, using only a pocket watch as a guide, he built a wooden striking clock that kept accurate time and continued to strike until it burned in a fire shortly after his death. He wrote an almanac and ephemeris from 1791 through 1802—some were published and widely distributed in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. In 1791, Banneker received an appointment to assist in surveying the lines of the Fe

AbstractRabbitbrush, Chrysothamnus Nuttall spp. (Asteraceae), is a common perennial native shrub across the inland western United States. In the Columbia Basin growing district of Washington State, rabbitbrush is often found in close proximity to potatoes and other agronomic crops, but its value as a conservation reservoir and source of parasitoids of merit in agriculture is unknown. Here, we define the aphid parasitoids frequenting rabbitbrush, their aphid host preferences, seasonal occurrence, and linkage or association with other aphids of economic and noneconomic importance.

Abstract:

Background. Decisions to withdraw or withhold treatment from infants and children are continuing concerns. Physicians voice confusion over perceived legal requirements. This confusion may lead to overtreatment of patients. Recent evidence suggests legal concerns still shape physician treatment decisions. Objective. This study was undertaken to determine if the legal standard governing these medical decisions was clearly stated. Design. Conventional legal research was performed. Because the 1984 Federal Child Abuse Amendments require these issues to be resolved by state laws, statutes of the 50

Models suggest that poverty segregation is positively associated with the expected homelessness rate of a Continuum of Care, a relationship that remains signi
