The burden of self-stigma in psychosis has been widely studied, leading to the development and implementation of self-stigma reduction programmes to ameliorate its impact. In order to successfully improve self-stigma in psychosis, we must evaluate the effect of available interventions to help clinicians select the most appropriate approach for their patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of self-stigma reduction interventions in people with psychosis while considering the interventions' characteristics as an important moderator of their effect.

Patients treated for classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) have a reported 13-fold increased risk of developing subsequent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In light of the growing awareness of CHL mimickers, this study re-assesses this risk based on an in-depth pathology review of a nationwide cohort of patients diagnosed with CHL in the Netherlands (2006-2013) and explores the spectrum of CHL mimickers. Among 2,669 patients with biopsy-proven CHL, 54 were registered with secondary NHL.

We discuss the potential and limitations of a weighted-incidence syndromic combination antibiogram (WISCA) as a practical tool for incorporating local microbiology data when assessing empiric coverage of commonly used antibiotics.
Research Design And Methods: A brief questionnaire of 18 clinically significant isolates from pediatric blood cultures (Jan-Dec 2018) was sent to a global network of pediatric hospitals in July 2019.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the peri-operative morbidity associated with anterior vertebral body tethering (aVBT) for idiopathic scoliosis in 175 patients, with 120 followed for 2 years.
- Results showed significant post-operative improvement in scoliosis, from a mean curvature of 51.2° pre-operatively to 27.5° at the 2-year follow-up.
- Complications included a low overall rate (0.8% in-hospital) and an increase to 8.3% by one year post-op, with various issues such as pneumothorax and superficial infections requiring treatment.
