Knowledge of Mandatory Reporting Laws and Recording of Clients' Abuse Data: Effects of a Sexual Health Curriculum Training for Health Students in Tanzania.

Tanzania mandated reporting laws aim to identify and address child abuse, yet healthcare students' awareness and reporting are limited. This study assessed training's impact on their knowledge of reporting laws and handling confidential child abuse data. The study involved 412 medical and nursing students in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), with 206 participants receiving sexual health training and a waitlist control group of equal size receiving no intervention.

A Comparison of Decompression Size and Craniectomy Speed of Reverse Question Mark Versus Retroauricular Incisions for Decompressive Hemicraniectomy: A Cadaver Study.

Background And Objectives: Decompressive hemicraniectomy is a common emergent surgery for patients with stroke, hemorrhage, or trauma. The typical incision is a reverse question mark (RQM); however, a retroauricular (RA) incision has been proposed as an alternative. The widespread adoption ofthe RA incision has been slowed by lack of familiarity and concerns over decompression efficacy.

Preadmission VACS Index as a Predictor of Hospital Acute Kidney Injury in People with HIV.

Background: The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index is a summary measure of routinely obtained clinical variables that predicts numerous health outcomes. Since there are currently no tools to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) in persons with HIV (PWH), we investigated the association of preadmission VACS Index with hospital AKI in PWH.

Methods: We conducted an observational study of PWH hospitalized in a New York City health system between 2010-2019.

Centenarians-the way to healthy vascular ageing and longevity: a review from VascAgeNet.

The prevalence of centenarians, people who lived 100 years and longer, is steadily growing in the last decades. This exceptional longevity is based on multifaceted processes influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as sex, (epi-)genetic factors, gut microbiota, cellular metabolism, exposure to oxidative stress, immune status, cardiovascular risk factors, environmental factors, and lifestyle behavior. Epidemiologically, the incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases is reduced in healthy centenarians along with late onset of age-related diseases compared with the general aged population.
