Grayken Lessons: a patient who developed opioid use disorder after traumatic brain injury.
Addict Sci Clin Pract
December 2024
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in people with substance use disorders (SUDs). TBI often results in cognitive deficits which can affect the clinical course of SUD.
Case Presentation: Here we present the case of a 34-year-old Spanish-speaking man with severe opioid use disorder and two prior TBIs affecting his cognitive abilities.
Effects of Patient Gender on Clinicians' Diagnostic Assessment of Youth Disruptive Mood and Behavior.
J Clin Child Adolesc Psychol
December 2024
Objective: Youth disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) have a male preponderance, but the extent to which gender biases in clinical assessment influence this imbalance remains unclear. The present study investigates whether a child patient's gender affects clinicians' diagnostic decision-making regarding Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Dissocial Disorder (CDD), and Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).
Method: Clinicians ( = 403; 57.
A 72-year-old man with a history of aortic valve replacement (AVR), mitral valve (MV) repair, and recent valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) presented with bacteremia. Computed tomography (CT) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) imaging noted a pseudoaneurysm, and he successfully underwent TAVR explant with aortic root and valve replacement.

- This study investigated the effect of mitral stenosis (MS) on outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with modern balloon-expandable valves, using data from over 327,000 patients across multiple centers.
- It was found that while patients with severe MS initially had worse outcomes, when matched for similar characteristics, their 30-day outcomes were similar to those with mild or less MS, except for a higher rate of pacemaker implantation.
- However, by three years post-TAVR, patients with severe MS showed a significantly higher mortality rate compared to those with mild or less MS, suggesting long-term risks associated with severe MS.
Article Synopsis
- - Patients younger than 65 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who experience new-onset work disability face a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to their working counterparts.
- - The study found that the incidence rate of CVD was 5.40 per 1,000 person-years in those with work disability versus 2.17 in the working group, with an adjusted hazard ratio indicating a more than double risk for those with work disability.
- - Despite analyzing various factors such as functional status and traditional CVD risks, the study concluded that the increased CVD risk in newly disabled patients remains partly unexplained, suggesting that other factors like social determinants of health may play a role.
