A novel hybrid approach to treatment of multiple mesenteric aneurysms in a patient with celiac artery occlusion from Suspected chronic median arcuate ligament syndrome.

The management of visceral artery aneurysms is evolving with endovascular coiling and covered stent placement used as alternatives to open repair. Celiac artery occlusion or compression complicates ablative endovascular management. The purpose of this report was to discuss the etiology of this uncommon phenomenon and describe a novel hybrid approach to treatment.

Help-seeking preferences and barriers for mental health problems among university students in Portugal, Germany, and Sweden.

Background: Mental health problems are prevalent among university students, underscoring the need to improve access to effective interventions. Mental healthcare utilization is influenced by general and country-specific factors. This study aimed to identify and compare preferences and barriers to help-seeking for mental health problems among university students in three European countries.

Generational differences in healthcare: the role of technology in the path forward.

Healthcare systems worldwide are under increasing pressure due to aging populations, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and heightened patient expectations. Generational differences significantly impact perceptions of health, healthcare decision-making, use of digital technologies, and attitudes toward preventative health. This perspective article explores these differences through the lens of Generational Cohort Theory, focusing on six generations: the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha.

Three-Dimensional Multi-Material Topology Optimization: Applying a New Mapping-Based Projection Function.

This paper presents an efficient and compact MATLAB code for 3D topology optimization of multi-materials. The multi-material problem using a mapping-based material interpolation function is adopted from previous work, in which each material is modeled in the same way, presenting a clear (clean) result of 0 and 1 for each material of the optimized structures, without gray elements, thus facilitating the manufacturing process. A new projection function, the sigmoid function, is adopted for the filtered design variables for each material in the domain.

Effects of community-based rehabilitation on caregivers of people with schizophrenia in Ethiopia in the RISE trial.

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental health condition with high impact on those affected and their families. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) is a recommended treatment component for schizophrenia in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), as it seeks to address complex social, health and economic needs. There is little evidence on the effects of CBR on caregivers of people with schizophrenia.
