A trauma-informed approach to type 1 diabetes mellitus in adults.

Suggested mechanisms for an association between early life adversity and worse glycaemic control.

Investigating child-facing practitioners' understanding of adversity and its impact on children's development and service provision.

Adversity during childhood is a common risk factor for poorer outcomes across physical, mental, and social health. Despite growing evidence and policy around preventing adversity and its sequalae, the incidence of adversity in childhood remains high. Child-facing practitioners (CfPs) may be well-placed to identify adversity and address its impact on children.

Community interventions for anxiety and depression in adults and young people: A systematic review.

Background: Growing evidence suggests that community-based interventions may be effective for anxiety and depression. This study aimed to describe studies of community interventions delivered to adults and/or young people, either in person or online, evaluated in randomised controlled trials and provide an indication as to their effectiveness, acceptability, quality of data and where possible, mechanisms of action. We included interventions delivered at and/or by museums, art galleries, libraries, gardens, music groups/choirs and sports clubs.

Obstacles and facilitators to communicating with children about their parents' mental illness: a qualitative study in a sub-district of Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Background: Given that common mental disorders are one of the leading causes of disease burden worldwide, it is likely that many children are growing up with a parent or other adult within their family who has anxiety or depression. Parents with a mental illness may not consider it appropriate to discuss their illness with their child, and consequently an absence of communication may lead to stigmatization, shame, misunderstanding their parents' symptoms, and even blaming themselves. There is a scarcity of research exploring the experiences and perceptions of healthcare professionals about communication with children of parents with mental illness in low-resource and African contexts.

Controlled and Local Delivery of Antibiotics by 3D Core/Shell Printed Hydrogel Scaffolds to Treat Soft Tissue Infections.

Soft tissue infections in open fractures or burns are major cause for high morbidity in trauma patients. Sustained, long-term and localized delivery of antimicrobial agents is needed for early eradication of these infections. Traditional (topical or systemic) antibiotic delivery methods are associated with a variety of problems, including their long-term unavailability and possible low local concentration.

Platysma and the cervical superficial musculoaponeurotic system - Comparative analysis of facial crease and platysmal band development.

Objective: The superficial musculoaponeurotic system connects the mimic muscles to the skin, allowing mimic expressions with regional morphological architectural differences. The aim of this study was to perform an architectural analysis of the cervical platysma-skin interaction, determine the morphological implications in platysmal band development and compare the findings to the facial SMAS architectural types.

Method: Full-thickness blocks of skin, SMAS and platysma from seven hemifaces (three male and two female) and full-thickness blocks of skin, SMAS and mimic muscles of the periorbital, perioral, forehead and midfacial regions from six hemifaces (three male and three female) of donor bodies were collected postmortem.

Histological, SEM and three-dimensional analysis of the midfacial SMAS - New morphological insights.

Introduction: The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) of the midface has a complex morphological architecture, and a multitude of controversial opinions exist regarding its in vitro appearance and clinical relevance. The aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional architecture of the midfacial SMAS.

Method: Histological and SEM analyses were performed on tissue blocks of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and mimic musculature of the midfacial region between the anterior parotid gland pole and lateral to the nasolabial fold and tissue blocks of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and parotid fascia.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the suborbicularis oculi fat and the infraorbital soft tissue.

The aim of this study was to reveal the histomorphological connections among the suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF), the orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM), the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), the infraorbital fat and the skin. Full graft tissue blocks of the infraorbital region with the skin, SMAS, OOM and SOOF were collected post mortem from one female and two male formalin-fixed body donors. Serial histological sections were made, stained and digitized.

Alteration of Masquelet's induced membrane characteristics by different kinds of antibiotic enriched bone cement in a critical size defect model in the rat's femur.

The Masquelet technique for the treatment of large bone defects consists of a 2-stage procedure. In the first stage, a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement spacer is inserted into the bony defect of a rat's femur and over a period of 2-4 weeks a membrane forms that encapsulates the defect/spacer. In a second operation the membrane is opened, the PMMA spacer is removed and the resulting cavity is filled with autologous bone.

Computed tomographic appearance of an oleothorax.

Sequelae of oleothorax, formerly used in the treatment of tuberculosis, may still be encountered. A patient is reported whose oleothorax, created 44 years previously, was demonstrated by computed tomography.

Failure of ketoconazole in two patients with blastomycosis.

Two patients with severe pulmonary blastomycosis were treated with ketoconazole. One patient developed disseminated disease while receiving this drug. After responding to incomplete treatment with amphotericin B, this patient relapsed while continuing ketoconazole therapy.

Histologic typing of lung cancer in Louisiana.

To determine whether histologic patterns differed in the high- and low-lung cancer mortality parishes (counties) of Louisiana and whether the findings in the state differed from those in other parts of the United states, we studied the available histopathologic materials for 272 persons of the 815 who died of lung cancer in ten southern, nonurban Louisiana parishes during a seven-year period from 1971-1977. Squamous-cell carcinoma and small-cell anaplastic carcinoma were the most common tumor types, closely followed in frequency by adenocarcinoma, confirming reports by other investigators of a change during the past decade in the prevalence of various histopathologic types of lung cancer. The distribution of histopathologic types was not different for high- and low-mortality parishes but differed significantly from other areas of the U.
