Article Synopsis
- * Researchers collected daily diary data and geospatial tracking from 69 PWH over 14 days, examining the relationship between daily mood and local environmental factors like violent crime and vacant lots.
- * Findings indicate that higher exposure to violence negatively affects mood and coping, suggesting that future efforts to support PWH should address spatial factors that influence their mental health and health care engagement.
Atlantoaxial instability is the most common cervical instability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its course may differ in different patients and may have different degrees of severity and symptoms. There are a number of studies on systemic factors associated with the development of this instability, but there are few publications in the scientific literature on the influence of biomechanical factors on the development of cervical instability.

- Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and financial hardships are linked to heavier alcohol use and health issues in adults living with HIV (PWH).
- The study analyzed data from 365 adult PWH to explore how childhood hardships impact current health through drinking patterns, using structural equation modeling (SEM) for analysis.
- Results showed that ACEs affect physical health directly and mental health both directly and indirectly, while economic hardship influences mental health indirectly through increased alcohol consumption in early adolescence.
: Low back pain syndrome is associated with muscular and myofascial pain and is linked with muscle overstrain or a lack of regular physical activity as well as a habitual bad posture, which cause the overload of perispinal soft tissues. One of the forms of therapy of LBP is the mesotherapy of the spine, which consists of multi-point micro-injections of drugs or medicine mixtures, which include preparations of collagen type I. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of mesotherapy with collagen type I.
