Article Abstract
Presumptive condition lists formally accept connections between military factors and veteran health conditions. An environmental scan of such lists and their evidentiary basis was conducted across four veterans' administrations to inform other administrations considering the development of such lists. Information on included conditions, qualifying military factors, and scientific processes was obtained through targeted internet searches and correspondence with veterans' administrations. The content of presumptive condition lists across jurisdictions varied by conditions included, as well as military eligibility requirements (e.g., service in particular conflict, context, or time period). Scientific review processes to develop lists also varied across jurisdictions. Findings indicate that evidence and experience may be leveraged across compensation systems (veteran and civilian). Ongoing research to understand links between military exposures and veteran health is recommended.

We present two patients who presented with symptoms that overlap with asthma, but upon further diagnostic evaluation, were revealed to have underlying malignancy. These cases highlight the importance of objective evidence-based evaluation in unveiling diagnoses previously mislabeled as asthma. The first patient was a 51-year-old with one year of cough and waning albuterol responsiveness, with worsening orthopnea and exertional dyspnea.

Background: Immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) is a joint disease common in dogs. Although its prognosis is generally favorable, relapses are frequent, and predictive factors for relapse remain poorly characterized.
Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of medical management of IMPA in dogs and identify predictive factors for relapse.

Background: Falls and fractures are the leading cause of unintentional injury among older adults, resulting in increased mortality and morbidity, as well as reduced physical function and quality of life. In-person exercise programs aimed at improving strength, balance, and postural control have demonstrated benefits for physical function, quality of life, and fall risk reduction among older adults. Technology-driven approaches can further enhance the accessibility of exercise programs.
