Federal investment in Native American communities and citizens continues to fall far short of needs, according to a new report from the Brookings Institution and the American Indian College Fund. A chronic issue for decades, this underinvestment has become more glaring in the wake of recent Trump administration cuts that have reduced outlays to Native Americans by more than a billion dollars. 

A study initiated by the European Spondyloarthritis Research Collaboration Network (EuroSpA) examined whether where patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) live is associated with the severity of their disease, when they begin advanced treatment, and how long they continue that treatment. Findings in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (ARD), The EULAR Journal, published by Elsevier, found evidence that patients from wealthier European countries tend to start treatment with biologics earlier but also stop or switch treatment earlier. They also experience lower disease activity at treatment start than patients in middle- and low-income countries.
