Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and neuroinflammation are thought to exacerbate neurocognitive dysfunction in treated people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH). Here, we longitudinally measured brain glucose metabolism as a measure of neuronal integrity in treated PWH using [F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in correlation with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) scores, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neuroinflammatory markers, neurocognitive outcomes, and other clinical and laboratory variables (CLVs).

Methods: Well-controlled PWH (n = 36) underwent baseline and follow-up FDG PET/CT obtained 3.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effects of stenting the left common iliac vein in young women (≤25 years old) suffering from chronic pelvic pain (CPP), focusing on quality of life (QoL) and pain scores.
  • Results show significant improvements in QoL and reductions in pain scores after stenting, although there were discrepancies between radiologists' initial imaging interpretations and the actual severity of vein compression found during clinical evaluations.
  • Findings suggest that while LCIV stenting can benefit young women with CPP, misinterpretation of imaging results and the presence of comorbidities complicate the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic venous disease, highlighting the need for more research.

The current study evaluated the efficacy of iliac and IVC ultrasound alone for follow-up evaluation of iliac vein stents in patients with pelvic venous disorders or iliac occlusion from chronic deep vein thrombosis. A retrospective single site cohort study was conducted by evaluating the most recent 100 iliac vein and inferior vena cava ultrasounds in patients who had undergone iliac vein stenting. Inclusion criteria included a history of iliac vein stent placement.

Importance: Associations have been found between COVID-19 and subsequent mental illness in both hospital- and population-based studies. However, evidence regarding which mental illnesses are associated with COVID-19 by vaccination status in these populations is limited.

Objective: To determine which mental illnesses are associated with diagnosed COVID-19 by vaccination status in both hospitalized patients and the general population.
