At the intersection of intersectional identity and microaggressions: An examination of the experiences and identity of sexual and gender diverse BIPOC individuals.

Objectives: Sexual and gender diverse (SGD) Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) live at the intersection of identities that produce idiosyncratic experiences of marginalization. Existing theories often rely on single-axis (e.g.

Spontaneous Hemorrhage of Thoracic Cavernous Malformation Leading to Bilateral Lower Extremity Paralysis.

Cavernous malformations (CMs) are abnormal clusters of thin-walled blood vessels located in the central nervous system. An 87-year-old male with a history of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation on rivaroxaban was admitted for acute onset, bilateral lower extremity weakness. He was found to have hemorrhagic transformation of a pre-existing spinal cord cavernous malformation located at the level of T9 of the thoracic column worsened by his use of anticoagulation.

An intersectional approach to understanding LGBTQ+ people of color's access to LGBTQ+ community resilience.

Resiliency research suggests that connection to LGBTQ + communities helps mitigate the negative impacts of oppression (i.e., community resilience).

Chronic disease self-management programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: Factors influencing participation in an urban setting.

Issue Addressed: Evidence suggests that participation in a Chronic Disease Self-Management (CDSM) program improves the health of clients. Many factors are known to influence participation in these programs for the broader Australian population. However, less is known about why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders choose to participate.

Minimally invasive perinatal and pediatric autopsy with laparoscopically assisted tissue sampling: feasibility and experience of the MinImAL procedure.

Objective: Less invasive autopsy techniques in cases of fetal or infant death have good acceptability among parents, but the published sampling adequacy in needle biopsy studies is generally poor. Minimally Invasive Autopsy with Laparoscopically assisted sampling (MinImAL) has the potential to increase the diagnostic yield of less invasive autopsy by improving the quality and quantity of tissue samples obtained, whilst permitting visualization, extraction and examination of internal organs through a small incision. The aim of this study was to present the findings of our experience with the MinImAL procedure in cases of fetal, neonatal and pediatric death.

Improving recruitment to clinical trials during pregnancy: A mixed methods investigation.

Objective: To identify reasons underlying women's refusal to participate in a pregnancy trial and to identify ways of increasing recruitment.

Design: Mixed methods study using a questionnaire and qualitative interviews.

Sample: A questionnaire asking them to indicate reasons for their decision was completed by 296 pregnant women who declined to participate in one of two trials of nutritional supplementation in a large teaching hospital in southern England.

Predicting biopsychosocial outcomes for heroin users in primary care treatment: a prospective longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Opiate substitution treatment for heroin users reduces mortality, illicit drug use, crime, and risk-taking behaviour, and improves physical, mental and social functioning. Few extended studies have been carried out in UK primary care to study factors predicting recovery.

Aim: To establish whether primary care opiate substitution treatment is associated with improvements in outcomes over 11 years, in delivering recovery, and to identify predictive factors.

Use of an ipsilateral vascularized ulnar transposition autograft for limb-sparing surgery of the distal radius in dogs: an anatomic and clinical study.

Objective: To develop a surgical technique for using the distal aspect of the ulna as a transposition autograft in a distal radial defect and to assess patency of vascular supply and viability of the distal ulna in a heterotopic position.

Study Design: Cadaveric study and clinical cases.

Animals: Twenty-two normal canine thoracic limbs; 3 dogs with distal radial osteosarcoma.

Production of baboon (Papio hamadryas) monoclonal antibodies by herpesvirus papio immortalized baboon lymph node cells.

Baboon monoclonal antibodies specific for monomorphic determinants of baboon apolipoprotein B were produced from in vivo primed lymph node cells immortalized by herpesvirus papio (HVP). Two cell lines from the immortalized cells were readily stabilized and grew rapidly. Since Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) cannot be used to immortalize baboon or macaque cells, HVP expands the potential sources of monoclonal antibodies to include baboons, and is the immortalizing agent of choice for macaques as well.
