A Rare Presentation of Pseudo-Pneumoperitoneum Secondary to Chilaiditi Sign and Chilaiditi Syndrome in Two Pre-adolescent Females: A Case Series.

Chilaiditi sign is defined as the interposition of the colon or small intestine between the liver and the right diaphragm in the absence of symptoms. Chilaiditi syndrome refers to the condition where the Chilaiditi sign is associated with symptoms including abdominal pain. In this series, we present the cases of two pre-pubescent patients with these rare conditions.

The Effect of Physiatry Involvement for Patients With Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

Objective: To explore the impact of physiatry on acute traumatic spinal cord injury (ATSCI) outcomes using a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with ATSCI at a level 1 trauma center from 2018 to 2019. In a 1:1 fashion, we matched patients who were evaluated by physiatry to those who were not.

Pacemaker-induced ventricular fibrillation during radiofrequency catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia.

Prior to ventricular tachycardia ablation, this patient's cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) was temporarily programmed to backup pacing mode with tachycardia therapies disabled. During radiofrequency energy delivery, the patient developed ventricular fibrillation requiring emergent cardioversion. Electrogram interrogation showed that the CIED switched to noise reversion mode during ablation.

Comparing Trace Element Bioaccumulation and Depuration in Snails and Mayfly Nymphs at a Coal Ash-Contaminated Site.

We examined the bioaccumulation of essential (Cu, Fe, Se, and Zn) and nonessential (As and Hg) trace elements in 2 aquatic invertebrate species (adult snails and mayfly nymphs) with different feeding habits at the site of a coal ash spill. Differences in food web pathway, exposure concentrations, and biological processing affected bioaccumulation patterns in these species. Mayflies had higher body burdens, but snails had higher retention of most elements studied.

Twenty-Five Years of Research and Advocacy on Violence Against Women: What Have We Accomplished, and Where Do We Go From Here? A Conversation.

This article is a conversation between two academic experts, Callie Rennison and Nikki Jones, who endeavor to sum up what has been accomplished in eliminating violence against women in the United States during the 25 years of the journal's existence. Domestic violence, rape, and sexual harassment are discussed. Although prevalence rates are down in domestic violence, rape and sexual harassment remain persistent problems.

Ripple-AT Study: A Multicenter and Randomized Study Comparing 3D Mapping Techniques During Atrial Tachycardia Ablations.

Background: Ripple mapping (RM) is an alternative approach to activation mapping of atrial tachycardia (AT) that avoids electrogram annotation. We tested whether RM is superior to conventional annotation based local activation time (LAT) mapping for AT diagnosis in a randomized and multicenter study.

Methods: Patients with AT were randomized to either RM or LAT mapping using the CARTO3v4 CONFIDENSE system.

Social and health outcomes following upgrades to a national housing standard: a multilevel analysis of a five-wave repeated cross-sectional survey.

Background: While existing research indicates that housing improvements are associated with health improvements, less is known about the wider social and health benefits of meeting national housing standards, as well as those of their specific constituent measures. This study evaluates the impacts of a managed housing upgrade programme through a repeated cross-sectional survey design.

Methods: A five-wave repeated cross-sectional survey was conducted over a seven-year period from 2009 to 2016 (n = 2075; n = 2219; n = 2015; n = 1991; and n = 1709, respectively).

Ripple mapping: Initial multicenter experience of an intuitive approach to overcoming the limitations of 3D activation mapping.

Background: Ripple mapping (RM) displays electrograms as moving bars over a three-dimensional surface displaying bipolar voltage, and has shown in a single-center series to be effective for atrial tachycardia (AT) mapping without annotation of local activation time or window-of-interest assignment. We tested the reproducibility of these findings in operators naïve to RM, using it for the first time in postablation AT.

Methods: Maps were collected with multielectrode catheters and CARTO ConfiDENSE.

Neighborhood Quality and Attachment: Validation of the Revised Residential Environment Assessment Tool.

Various studies have shown that neighborhood quality is linked to neighborhood attachment and satisfaction. However, most have relied upon residents' own perceptions rather than independent observations of the neighborhood environment. This study examines the reliability and validity of the revised Residential Environment Assessment Tool (REAT 2.

"The regular routine": proactive policing and adolescent development among young, poor black men.

Over the last several decades, proactive policing, in which departments use data on reported crimes to determine where local police officers will target their surveillance, has increased police contact with residents in certain neighborhoods. Drawing on field research conducted over a three-year period (2007-2010) among adult and adolescent African American men in a San Francisco neighborhood with a concentrated poor, Black population, I provide an ethnographic account of routine encounters with the police that structure adolescent boys' daily lives in potentially significant ways. I build on Erving Goffman's discussion of "patterns of mortification" to describe how typical encounters unfold in the day-to-day lives of young men and consider the implications of such encounters for healthy adolescent development.

Theorizing alternative pathways through adulthood: unequal social arrangements in the lives of young disadvantaged men.

This chapter introduces the innovative field-based studies on disadvantaged men that are featured in this volume. Together, these studies of disadvantaged men from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and both urban and nonurban settings complement and extend recent discussions of emerging adulthood, which typically conceptualizes the transition to adulthood as a normative and linear process. The authors offer that the research presented here provides a more accurate rendering of the transition to adulthood for young disadvantaged men.
