BackgroundPeripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is rare in most parts of the world. Therefore, we have evaluated 96 cases PTCL diagnosed within Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Classification Project (NHLCP) (1378 cases) for their geographical distribution, pathologic features and diagnostic reliability, as well clinical presentation outcome.Materials methodsDiagnoses all were rendered independently by five experienced hematopathologists based on morphology only, after introduction immunophenotype data....

Abstract Purpose Nursing home closures have raised concerns about access to post‐acute care (PAC) and long‐term (LTC) services. We estimate the additional distance rural residents had travel PAC LTC services because of nursing closures. Methods identify availability in homes, health agencies, hospitals with swing beds using Medicare Provider Services file (2008–2018). Using distances between ZIP codes, we summarize closest provider for urban codes from 2008 2018 no homes 2018. Findings...
PURPOSE: In the International Lymphoma Study Group classification of lymphoma, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type is listed as a distinctive entity. However, nodal MZL provisional entity because questions to whether it truly disease or just an advanced stage MALT-type MZL. To resolve issue primary without involvement mucosal sites exists and clinically different from we compared clinical features these two lymphomas. PATIENTS AND...

Access to cancer care is dependent on the absolute number of providers, but it also their geographic distribution.
Introduction Tele-emergency can address several challenges facing emergency departments in rural areas. The purpose of this paper is to (a) examine the rates avoided transfers that adopted tele-emergency applications; and (b) estimate costs benefits using avoid transfers. Methods Analysis based on 9048 encounters generated by Avera eEmergency programme (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) 85 hospitals across seven states between October 2009–February 2014. For each non-transfer patient, physicians...
Background: Motor vehicle crash (MVC) mortality rates are inversely related to population density. The purpose of this study was analyze if there is a regional variation in the risk MVC death after controlling for injury severity. Methods: utilized Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) data set Nebraska. All fatal or injury-related crashes during 4-year period (1996 through 1999) were analyzed. Injury Severity Scores (ISSs) calculated from CODES listed International Classification...
Rural communities have disproportionately faced primary care shortages for decades in spite of policy efforts to prepare and attract health professionals practice rural locales. Insight into how physicians' service patterns areas differ from those less places is important better inform recruitment strategies that target providers communities.The purpose this research describe physician vary by rural-urban location a large, privately insured population. We discuss implications pattern...
Abstract Purpose This report compares COVID‐19 incidence and mortality rates in the nonmetropolitan areas of United States with metropolitan across three 11‐week periods from March 1 to October 18, 2020. Methods County‐level case, death, population counts were downloaded USAFacts.org. The 2013 NCHS Urban‐Rural Classification Scheme was collapsed into two categories called (large central, large fringe, medium, small metropolitans) (micropolitan/noncore). Daily computed show temporal trends...

The rate of nontreatment varies by cancer type and stage is higher in patients receiving initial recommendations nonaccredited programs than accredited programs.
Background: Concordance between survey reports and claims data is not well established. We compared them for disease histories, preventative, other health services use in a large, nationally representative sample of older Medicare beneficiaries with special attention given to evaluating age, aging, memory, respondent status effects. Methods: Baseline (1993) biennial follow-up (through 2010) from the Survey on Assets Health Dynamics among Oldest-Old were linked 1991 2010, 4910 participants...
Introduction:Telemedicine is designed to increase access specialist care, especially in settings distant from tertiary-care centers. One of the more established telemedicine applications hospitals tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU). Perceptions tele-ICU users are not well studied. Thus, we undertook a study focused on assessing staff acceptance at multiple that had implemented system.Materials and Methods:We survey instrument gathered perceptions facets use administered it clinical...
Background Self-rated health taps holistically and dynamically blends prior histories with current illness burdens expectations for future health. While consistently found as an independent predictor of functional decline, sentinel events, physician visits, hospital episodes, mortality, much less is known about intra-individual changes in self-rated across the life course, especially African Americans. Materials/Methods Data on 998 American men women aged 50–64 years old were taken from a...
Introduction Tele-emergency provides audio/visual communication between a central emergency care centre (tele-emergency hub) and distant department (remote ED) for real-time consultation. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to examine how often tele-emergency activated in usual practice what circumstances it used. Methods log data merged electronic medical record from Avera Health (Sioux Falls, SD) were analysed 60,193 (ED) encounters presenting over two-and-a-half year period at 21...
