Article Synopsis
- A 36-year-old male with no prior health issues presented to the emergency department with severe respiratory symptoms and chest pain, leading to the discovery of acute myocarditis linked to human bocavirus (HBoV) monoinfection.
- After extensive testing, imaging showed significant heart dysfunction, and the patient responded well to anti-inflammatory treatment and therapy for heart remodeling.
- This case highlights a rare occurrence of HBoV causing myocarditis in an adult and raises the possibility of the virus being transmitted from infants to adults.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore the experiences of patients and clinicians in diagnosing cardiovascular disease (CVD) to inform the creation of better technological solutions.
- Through focus groups and interviews with 32 participants, four main themes emerged around diagnostic challenges: symptom interpretation, patient characteristics, patient-clinician interactions, and systemic issues.
- Key insights suggest that while both groups face communication and time challenges, patients struggle more with psychological and ambiguous symptoms, whereas clinicians focus on individual patient differences and the importance of building rapport.
Increasing rhetoric regarding the common intersection of autism and gender diversity has resulted in legislation banning autistic transgender youth from accessing standard of care supports, as well as legislative efforts banning all youth gender care in part justified by the proportional over-occurrence of autism. Yet, no study has investigated whether autistic and non-autistic transgender youth present fundamentally different gender-related phenotypes. To address this gap, we extensively characterized autism, gender diversity, and sexuality among autistic and non-autistic transgender binary youth (N = 66, M = 17.

Increased implementation of digital technologies into the cardiovascular care pathway has enormous potential to lighten the load on the National Health Service (NHS), however, it is not possible to adopt this shift without embedding the perspectives of service users and clinicians.
Methods And Analysis: A series of qualitative studies will be carried out with the aim of developing a stakeholder-led perspective on the implementation of digital technologies to improve holistic diagnosis of heart disease.
Unlabelled: The prevalence of spondylolysis amongst adolescent athletes presenting with low back pain has been reported as high as 47-55%. Youth athletes participating in sports involving movements combining compression, extension and rotation appear most susceptible. As such, young golfers are a high-risk group, particularly given the high shear and compressive forces associated with the golf swing action.
