Pulmonary sequestration is a malformation of lung tissue such that a zone of pulmonary parenchyma exists in isolation from the bronchopulmonary tree. This condition is typically treated with surgical resection, but an increasing number of sequestrations are being treated with arterial embolization. We report interventions that were performed at two institutions on patients 53-70 years old.

- Men with HIV show increased alveolar bone loss compared to HIV-negative men, suggesting a link between HIV infection and periodontal issues.
- The study involved 93 men, aged 35-70, who underwent periodontal exams and analysis of gingival crevicular fluid and X-rays to assess periodontal health.
- Findings indicate that IL6 cytokine levels in men with HIV may contribute to this greater bone loss, highlighting the need for better oral health care for people living with HIV and further investigation into this area.
Objective: In order to gain a better understanding of the individual and joint impact of testosterone and cortisol on behavior, the present study was developed to test the differences in each hormone alone and conjointly between perpetrators of IPV and non-violent controls.
Method: Perpetrators of IPV on probation were compared to a control group of non-aggressive males from Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley on baseline testosterone and cortisol, as well as several relevant questionnaires measuring aggression and trait anger. Differences in cortisol following exposure to a stressful event were also examined.
Background: Periodontal health in men with HIV remains understudied, despite suggestions of associations between HIV infection and gingival pocketing, periodontal attachment loss, and gingival inflammation. As antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the quality of life for people living with HIV (PLWH), aging-related risk factors and comorbidities, including periodontitis, have emerged. This study aims to assess alveolar bone height, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) cytokines, and periodontal disease activity in men with and without HIV.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to evaluate trabecular and cortical bone microstructure in the mandibular condyle and the mandibular basal bone and compare these sites between premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
