Objective: The purpose of this review was to examine new evidence since our 2019 guidelines for cervical cancer (CC) screening in non-HIV immunocompromised persons and to provide updated recommendations based on literature review and expert opinion. In addition, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine efficacy in these populations was reviewed.
Methods: A literature search was performed similar to our previous publication but was conducted through March 2023.
Health care transition rates and associated factors for adolescents with asthma.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob
February 2025
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines health care transition (HCT) experiences of adolescents with asthma in the U.S., revealing that only 19% received proper HCT preparation despite existing guidelines advocating for it.
- - Factors positively associated with receiving HCT exposure included being older, female, having a supportive healthcare provider, having a written transition care plan, and regular preventive care visits.
- - The findings highlight the need for improved HCT preparation for adolescents with asthma, particularly addressing disparities related to sociodemographic factors and healthcare access.
Objective: In 2012, updated ASCCP management guidelines for abnormal cervical cytology recommended observation rather than immediate referral to colposcopy for low-grade abnormalities in women ages 21-24. We evaluated the impact of these guidelines on changes in colposcopy procedure rates among young women.
Methods: We analyzed administrative and claims data from the largest statewide family planning program between July 2011 and June 2015.
Introduction: Over 265 000 women are living with HIV in the USA, but limited research has investigated the physical, mental and behavioural health outcomes among women living with HIV of reproductive age. Health status during the reproductive years before, during and after pregnancy affects pregnancy outcomes and long-term health. Understanding health outcomes among women living with HIV of reproductive age is of substantial public health importance, regardless of whether they experience pregnancy.

Here we compare refeeding outcomes in patients with atypical anorexia nervosa (atypical AN) versus anorexia nervosa (AN) and examine the impact of caloric dose.
Method: Patients were enrolled upon admission and randomized to meal-based HCR, beginning 2000 kcal/day and advancing 200 kcal/day, or lower calorie refeeding (LCR), beginning 1400 kcal/day and advancing 200 kcal every other day.
