The study examined the impact that the Medicaid expansion in Illinois had upon insurance rates, access to medical care, dental care, pharmaceuticals, and mental-health counseling between rural and urban counties.

A serial cross-sectional design was used to assess the health perceptions of adults living in Illinois.

Survey data were collected in 2012 (n=6,149) before the Medicaid expansion in Illinois and in 2015 (n=3,532) after the expansion from rural (n=4) and urban counties (n=4).

Medicaid expansion reduced the uninsured rate in both rural (16.39%-4.87%) and urban counties (17.05%-5.2%) and improved self-reported health. It also increased access to all types of healthcare, with the biggest increase in dental coverage.

Path analysis indicated that the Medicaid expansion β=-1.03 (p<.01) and poor versus not poor β=-1.50 (p<.01) were a significant predictor to no healthcare access. Rural verses urban location was not significant (β=0.04); however, race/ethnicity was significantly different (p<.01).

Findings suggest that although the expansion has increased access to care overall, those who are the most vulnerable are still not benefiting equally from the expansion. Therefore, strategies to assist high-risk adults in enrolling and using their Medicaid coverage need to developed and implemented.

Caring for a patient with end-stage renal disease undergoing in-centre haemodialysis can be a stressful experience, likely to involve significant burden. Within the context of the new coronavirus pandemic, these patients are highly vulnerable to infection by COVID-19, which might increase the care demands and burden of family caregivers.

This study aimed to explore the subjective experiences of family caregivers of non-COVID-19 patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing in-centre haemodialysis during the COVID-19 lockdown.

A qualitative study was performed with a purposive sample.

Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 19 family caregivers (50.7±14years old) of patients undergoing in-centre haemodialysis in April 2020.

Four major themes were identified (1) emotional distress; (2) changes in caregiving responsibilities; (3) educational and supportive needs; and (4) coping strategies to deal with the outbreak and with the lockdown.

The findings suggest that family caregivers of patients undergoing in-centre haemodialysis have to manage several additional care responsibilities due to COVID-19 lockdown. The dialysis team should consider the development of educational and supportive interventions to meet family caregivers' needs, mitigate emotional distress, fears and concerns, and prevent caregiver burden during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Four-dimensional assessment (4D) of the fetal cardiovascular system using spatial-temporal image correlation (STIC) allows for detailed examination of a highly complex organ from the early second trimester onward. There is compelling evidence that this technique harbors quite a number of diagnostic opportunities, but manual navigation through STIC volume datasets is highly operator dependent. In fact, STIC is not incorporated yet into daily practice. Application of the novel fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE) considerably simplifies fetal cardiac volumetric examinations. This automatic technique applied on cardiac volume datasets reportedly has both high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of congenital heart defects (CHDs). Part I reviewed current data regarding detection rates of CHDs and illustrated the additional value of an automatic approach in delineating cardiac anatomy exemplified by congenital lesions of the right heart. In part II of this pictorial essay, we focused on left heart anomalies and aimed to tabulate recent findings on the quantification of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy.Since the completion of the Management of Myelomeningocoele Study, maternal-fetal surgery for spina bifida has become a valid option for expecting parents. RO5126766 chemical structure More recently, multiple groups are exploring a minimally invasive approach and recent outcomes have addressed many of the initial concerns with this approach. Based on a previously published framework, we attempt to delineate the developmental stage of the surgical techniques. Furthermore, we discuss the barriers of performing randomized controlled trials comparing two surgical interventions and suggest that data collection through registries is an alternative method to gather high-grade evidence.

Researchers have identified several factors that correlate with the caring behaviours of formal caregivers in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). However, a limited range of socio-demographic factors has been discussed, and no studies have discussed the combined effects of the institutional characteristics of the LTCF and the personal characteristics (i.e. bio-psycho-socio-spiritual attributes) of the formal caregiver on the caring behaviour.

The aim of this study was to examine caring behaviours of formal caregivers for older residents of LTCFs and to explore factors that explain and predict the caring behaviours of them.

A valid sample of 224 formal caregivers (nurses and nurse aids) employed at 56 LTCFs (21 nursing homes and 35 assisted living facilities) was analysed. Hierarchical regression analysis with two-tailed significance test was used to investigate whether the caring behaviours of the caregivers were independently associated with the characteristics of the caregivers or the institutions.

Caring behaviours of the formal caregivers had significant positive associations with their job satisfaction (β=0.
