Article Abstract

The scope of the Care Network for People with Disabilities in Brazil is to enhance access to, and improve health care for, people with disabilities (PwD) with the participation of primary health care (PHC). The objective of this study was to estimate the association between the PHC organization model and health practices aimed at PwD at this level of care. It involved a cross-sectional study with 1,377 qualified PHC professionals in 8 Brazilian states, part of the REDECIN-BRASIL survey. Logistic regression was performed to estimate the association between the PHC model and the Family Health Strategy (FHS) Model and the frequency of care aimed at PwDs. The Traditional PHC Model revealed a positive and statistically significant association with a lower frequency of practices aimed at PwD in PHC, compared to the FHS model, with regression adjustment for knowledge about the care network for PwD. Prenatal care, home care and health education are more frequent practices in the FHS model, however, creating lines of care, clinical protocols, intersectoral actions and articulation with community resources are still challenges for both models.

Limited vascularization and ischemia are major contributors to the chronicity of wounds, such as ulcers and traumatic injuries, which impose significant medical, social, and economic burdens. These challenges are particularly pronounced in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a disabling condition associated with vascular dysfunction, infections, and impaired peripheral circulation, complicating the treatment of pressure injuries (PIs) and the success of reconstructive procedures like grafts and flaps. Regenerative medicine aims to address these issues by identifying effective cellular therapies to restore vascular beds.

The role of assistive devices and technologies in the activities and participation in everyday life of children with cerebral palsy - a scoping review.

Disabil Rehabil Assist Technol

September 2025

Department of Special Needs Education and Rehabilitation, Department Pedagogy and Didactics for People with Physical and Motor Development Impairments and Chronic and Progressive Illnesses, Carl von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, Germany.

Objectives: Many studies investigate the impact of assistive devices and technologies (AD/AT) on physical outcomes. The role of AD/ATs in everyday activities and participation of children with cerebral palsy (CP) has received much less attention. This review scopes the impact of AD/ATs by the activities and participation components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model.

Advances in Nonoperative Management of Osteoarthritis in Athletes.

Curr Sports Med Rep

September 2025

U.S. Army and Department of Family Medicine, F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University, Bethesda, MD.

Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability in both the United States and worldwide. In comparison to nonexposed controls, athletes, including tactical athletes such as military members and first responders, have higher rates of osteoarthritis. Management of osteoarthritis in the athletic population is largely similar to management of osteoarthritis in the general population, with a strong emphasis on conservative management.

Burden of Disease Attributable to High Systolic Blood Pressure in Young Adults: An Analysis From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich)

September 2025

Department of Cardiology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

This study aims to fill this gap by leveraging Global Burden of Disease 2021 (GBD 2021) data to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the disease burden attributable to high systolic blood pressure (SBP) in young adults. Data from the Global Health Data Exchange were utilized to estimate the disease burden attributable to high SBP in young adults, stratified by overall disease, sex, socio-demographic index (SDI) level, GBD region, nation, and specific disease. In 2021, the overall disease attributable to high SBP in young adults was substantial, with approximately 24,626,362 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and 477,992 deaths, and the DALYs and mortality rates were 623.

Purpose: To increase understanding of the transition from work and day activity services to old-age retirement among people with intellectual disabilities. The research questions are as follows: 1) How are change and continuity present in the transitions to old-age retirement of older people with an intellectual disability? 2) What is the role of the person's own decision-making in the transition process?

Methods: A longitudinal case study approach was used. The main data consist of qualitative interviews from a one-year period with four people with an intellectual disability aged 59-65.
