Approaches for Analyzing the Relationship Between Spirituality and Health Using Measures Contaminated with Indicators of Mental and Social Health.

There has been concern raised in religion/spirituality (R/S) research about the use of measures of spirituality that are contaminated by indicators of mental and/or social health. Many of these scales are used widely in published studies examining associations with health, and yet many researchers and reviewers are not aware of contamination issues. We have previously cautioned researchers to be careful in their choice of religious/spirituality (R/S) measures (Koenig and Carey in J Relig Health, 63(5):3729-3743.

Real world virologic outcomes in patients with elevated body mass index receiving long acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine.

Background: The first long-acting injectable antiretroviral, cabotegravir/rilpivirine (LA-CAB/RPV), was FDA approved in January 2021 for persons with HIV suppressed on their current regimen. Body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 has been identified as a risk factor for virologic failure, however data is limited due to small sample sizes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of BMI on the efficacy of LA-CAB/RPV in a real-world setting.

Atypical Presentation of a Ruptured Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm With Subdural, Intraparenchymal, and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Anterior communicating artery (ACom) aneurysm, one of the most frequent types of intracranial aneurysm rupture, usually results in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with intraventricular hemorrhage. We describe a case of an ACom aneurysm rupture with subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, and subdural hemorrhages (SDH) with midline shift in a 55-year-old woman. Decompressive craniectomy was performed to evacuate the SDH with subsequent microsurgical clipping of the aneurysm.
