Blueprint for destigmatizing depression and increasing openness to treatment among adolescents using brief social contact-based videos: a qualitative study.

Background: Depression is a major public health concern for adolescents, who exhibit low rates of connection to care despite significant needs. Although barriers to help-seeking such as stigma are well documented, interventions to address stigma and to increase help-seeking behavior are insufficient. Dissemination of short videos in social media offer a promising approach, but designing effective stimuli requires better insight into adolescents' perspectives of their own experiences, barriers, and possible interventions.

The Role of Fluoroscopic Guidance in Spinal Drain Placement for Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm Repair Patients: A Retrospective Study.

Objectives: To evaluate outcomes after implementation of a preoperative protocol requiring fluoroscopic guidance in patients undergoing thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair identified as being at risk for spinal drain placement complications.

Design: This retrospective analysis included patients who underwent spinal drain placement for TAAA repair between November 2013 and November 2018. Patient outcomes were assessed before (control) and after (study) protocol implementation.

Full-thickness arthroscopic rotator cuff repair demonstrates low repair failure rates and high return to sport rates in patients aged 30 years and under at 9-year follow-up: A single-center case series.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term clinical complications, outcomes, and return to sport (RTS) rates in patients aged 30 or younger with a primary full-thickness arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

Methods: All patients who underwent a primary full-thickness ARCR at age 30 years or younger from 2003 to 2021 with a minimum of a 2-year follow-up were included. Complications, repeat surgeries, and return to sport rates were collected.

Downstaging of hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplantation: Results from a national multi-center prospective cohort study.

Background Aims: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) meeting UNOS-downstaging (DS) criteria have excellent post-liver transplantation (LT) outcomes. Studies on HCC beyond UNOS-DS criteria ("All-comers" (AC)) have been limited by small sample size and short follow-up time, prompting this analysis.

Approach Results: 326 patients meeting UNOS-DS and 190 meeting AC criteria from 9 LT centers across 5 UNOS regions were enrolled from 2015 to 2023 and prospectively followed.

Feasibility of IR-MALDESI Mass Spectrometry Imaging of PFAS.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of emerging contaminants that have been in use industrially since the 1940s. Their long-term and extensive commercial use has led to their ubiquitous presence in the environment. The ability to measure the bioconcentration and distribution of PFAS in the tissue of aquatic organisms helps elucidate the persistence of PFAS as well as environmental impacts.
