About The Study: This study highlights the wide variation of nonprofit hospitals’ tax benefit across states, its high concentration among a small number of hospitals, and the primary role played by state and local taxes. Policy efforts to strengthen nonprofit hospitals’ taxpayer accountability are likely to be more effective when pursued at the local level.

About The Study: This study found that approximately one-third of living former professional football players reported perceived chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Men with perceived CTE had an increased prevalence of suicidality and were more likely to have health problems associated with cognitive impairment compared with men without perceived CTE. Perceived CTE represents a novel risk factor for suicidality and, if present, should motivate the diagnostic assessment and treatment of medical and behavioral conditions that may be misattributed to CTE neuropathological change.

About The Study: In this study, a higher burden of comorbidity was associated with worse clinical outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), although comorbidity could potentially be a partial mediator of other negative prognostic factors. The findings suggest a substantial adverse association of the comorbidities investigated with MS disease activity and that prevention and management of comorbidities should be a pressing concern in clinical practice.

About The Study: In this study, the overall survival of the face transplants is encouraging. These data suggest that the acceptable long-term survival of face transplants makes them a reconstructive option for extensive facial defects.

Quote from corresponding author Pauliina Homsy, MD, PhD:

“A total of 50 face transplants have been performed since 2005. Activity has been concentrated with only 18 centers in 11 countries giving this treatment. Our study demonstrates an overall 5- and 10-year survival of face transplants at 85% and 74%, respectively.

“The majority of patients with severe facial defects can be treated with conventional methods but there are those whose defect is too complex for it. The encouraging face transplant survival rate suggests that face transplantation can be a long-term reconstructive option for these patients.”

About The Study: Prehospital encounters for youth opioid overdoses were increasing prior to the pandemic, increased with the onset, and then stabilized, remaining higher than pre-pandemic levels. Although overall patterns were largely driven by those ages 18 through 24, adolescents ages 12 through 17 were the only subgroup with an increasing number of encounters both before and during the pandemic.

These findings suggest the importance of considering differential outcomes of Medicare payment policies for racial and ethnic minority patient populations beyond the initially targeted groups.

About The Study: This intensive longitudinal cohort study found that suicidal ideation intensity modestly increased in the hours immediately following exposure to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) negative news or media among LGBTQ+ young adults. These findings have timely implications for research and intervention, particularly within sociopolitical and geographic contexts where news or media coverage about LGBTQ+ topics is intensified.

About The Study: In this study, monthly, 140 mg erenumab injections safely and effectively achieved medication overuse headaches remission in patients with nonopioid chronic migraine and medication overuse headaches within 6 months.

Quote from corresponding author Stewart J. Tepper, MD:

“Those patients with medication overuse headache (MOH) have higher disability and a significant unmet clinical need. Erenumab proved effective versus placebo in significantly higher rates of MOH remission and marked reduction in days in which acute migraine treatment was taken in a randomized controlled trial, with these benefits sustained through a one- year open label treatment period.

“The change for clinical care will be that practitioners can start patients with MOH on erenumab and expect a likelihood of MOH remission for most without other interventions, such as planned wean, inpatient detoxification, or behavioral therapies. This will simplify and improve care of MOH patients.”

About The Study: From 2019 to 2022, overall prescription volumes for stimulant and antidepressant medications increased, while prescription volume for opioids decreased. Concurrently, the proportion of telehealth prescriptions climbed across medications, increasing by a factor of 188 in opioids and more than 20 for antidepressants. These findings align with existing research highlighting the shift toward telehealth and the rise in stimulant and opioid telehealth prescribing during the pandemic. While in-person prescribing remains the most common, increasing telehealth utilization across medications suggests a growing acceptance, need, or preference for remote services.

About The Study: This study’s results suggest discrepancies between preferred and actual sources of contraceptive information for assigned female at birth adolescents and young adults in the U.S. Findings underscore the role of clinicians in supporting informed contraceptive decision-making among adolescents and young adults. Clinicians were the most commonly preferred source, and receiving information from them was associated with having sufficient information to choose a contraceptive method; however, clinicians were the source with the largest discrepancy between preferred and actual use.

About The Study: In 2023, all 3 payer markets (commercial insurance, Medicare Part D, and Medicaid managed care) for pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) services were highly concentrated, but concentration varied and was highest in Medicare Part D. While CVS Caremark held the dominant share in all 3 payer markets, each of the PBMs appeared focused on a different payer: Express Script’s largest share was in the commercial market, while Optum Rx’s and CVS Caremark’s were in Medicare Part D and Medicaid managed care, respectively. These findings underscore the importance of considering payer-specific concentration when evaluating PBMs’ anticompetitive practices, as the 3 top PBMs may be pursuing different market strategies.

About JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is an online-only open access general medical journal from the JAMA Network. On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.

About The Study: In this modeling study of racial and ethnic disparities of tuberculosis (TB), these disparities were associated with substantial future health and economic outcomes of TB among U.S.-born persons without interventions beyond current efforts. Actions to eliminate disparities may reduce the excess TB burden among these persons and may contribute to accelerating TB elimination within the U.S.

About The Study: Results from this case-control study showed an association between aberrant metabolic analytes at birth and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). These findings suggest that we may be able to identify infants at increased risk for SIDS soon after birth, which could inform further mechanistic research and clinical efforts focused on monitoring and prevention.

About The Study: In this study, parents who demonstrated and practiced proper firearm handling with their children and taught them how to shoot their firearms were more likely to store at least 1 firearm unlocked and loaded. Consistent with qualitative research results, these findings suggest that some parents may believe that modeling responsible firearm use negates the need for secure storage. However, it is unknown whether parents’ modeling responsible behavior is associated with a decreased risk of firearm injury.

About The Study: The findings of this cohort study showed a significant recent downward trend in both melanoma incidence and melanoma mortality in the age group 30 to 49 years in Sweden. The reasons for these declines are unclear but may include UV protection, public health campaigns, changing population demographics, and the introduction of effective melanoma treatment. None of these possibilities were evaluated; further study is needed.

About The Study: This is the first report of whole eye transplant combined with facial transplant, demonstrating allograft survival including rejection-free graft survival and electroretinographic measurements indicating retinal response to light stimuli. These data highlight the potential for clinical allotransplantation for globe loss. The successful revascularization of the transplanted eye achieved in this study may serve as a step towards the goal of globe transplant for restoration of vision.

Quote from corresponding author Eduardo D. Rodriguez, MD, DDS:

“The study reveals clinical outcomes from the past year following the world’s first whole-eye and partial-face transplant, highlighting promising initial results, and establishing a foundation for future advancements.

“While the recipient has not regained vision, the transplanted eye has maintained normal pressure, good blood flow, and some remaining structure and functions in the retina. Many experts did not think we would even be here, but we’ve successfully transplanted and maintained an eye without immune rejection.

“Now, the next challenge is understanding how to restore sight. I look forward to continuing this research in collaboration across academia to accelerate these discoveries with unique tools and the best therapies.”
