Mental Health Utilization Among Transgender Veterans.

Importance: Compared with cisgender (CG) individuals, transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals experience substantial social and economic disparities that can result in adverse mental health consequences. It is critical to understand potential barriers to care and to address the causes of the disparities in the future.

Objective: To characterize mental health care utilization among TGD veterans with depression.

The atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole alters the outcome of disseminated infections.

Invasive fungal infections impose an enormous clinical, social, and economic burden on humankind. One of the most common species responsible for invasive fungal infections is . More than 30% of patients with disseminated candidiasis fail therapy with existing antifungal drugs, including the widely used azole class.

Postacute Care and Long-term Care for LGBTQ+ Older Adults.

LGBTQ + older adults have a high likelihood of accessing nursing home care. This is due to several factors: limitations performing activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, restricted support networks, social isolation, delay seeking assistance, limited economic resources, and dementia. Nursing home residents fear going in the closet, which can have adverse health effects.

The atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole alters the outcome of disseminated infections.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) impose an enormous clinical, social, and economic burden on humankind. For many IFIs, ≥ 30% of patients fail therapy with existing antifungal drugs, including the widely used azole class. We previously identified a collection of 13 approved medications that antagonize azole activity.

Combining Spinal Cord Transcutaneous Stimulation with Activity-based Training to Improve Upper Extremity Function Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Recovery of upper extremity (UE) function is the top priority following cervical spinal cord injury (SCI); even partial function restoration would greatly improve the quality of their life and thus remains an important goal in SCI rehabilitation. Current clinical therapies focus on promoting neuroplasticity by performing task-specific activities with high intensity and high repetition. Repetitive training, paired with functional electrical, somatosensory, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, has been evaluated to augment functional recovery in chronic SCI, but improvements were modest.
