Background And Objective: There is limited research on screening for social determinants of health (SDOH) in hospitalized pediatric patients. In this article, we describe patient characteristics related to SDOH screening in the hospital setting and examine relationships with acute care metrics.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.
Article Synopsis
- Around 158,500 people in the U.S. have undiagnosed HIV, which complicates treatment and health outcomes, especially for those on immunosuppressive therapy.
- Patients taking these therapies are at heightened risk for infections, yet routine HIV testing before treatment isn't standard practice.
- A case study of three patients shows that undiagnosed HIV led to severe complications during their course of immunosuppressive treatment, highlighting the need for pre-treatment HIV screening.
Orlando has the second highest HIV incidence in the USA. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine is approved as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to minimize HIV transmission. Our study describes the PrEP care continuum and factors impacting PrEP persistence during the first year of PrEP care at a sexual health clinic in Orlando.

Although multiple cases of infections are described in the adult population, few have been documented in pediatrics.

We present a case of acute scrotum after laparoscopic appendectomy. A retrospective review of prior literature on scrotal abscess secondary to perforated appendicitis was performed via PubMed to review the clinical presentation, etiology, type of treatment and outcome of pediatric patients.

- * A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with this tumor after surgical excision of a suspected capillary hemangioma; the diagnosis was confirmed through histological and immunohistochemical tests.
- * Initial treatments usually involve wide excisional biopsy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, which showed no residual tumor for this patient, yet the high rates of recurrence highlight the need for effective follow-up therapies.
Enabling motor control by epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord is a promising therapeutic technique for the recovery of motor function after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Although epidural electrical stimulation has resulted in improvement in hindlimb motor function, it is unknown whether it has any therapeutic benefit for improving forelimb fine motor function after a cervical SCI. We tested whether trains of pulses delivered at spinal cord segments C6 and C8 would facilitate the recovery of forelimb fine motor control after a cervical SCI in rats.
