Anomalous left pulmonary artery: case reports exploring anatomic variants.

Background: Pulmonary artery sling (PAS) is a rare congenital anomaly where the left pulmonary artery (LPA) branches from the right pulmonary artery, compressing the trachea and esophagus and frequently leading to respiratory distress in infants. Surgical intervention, such as LPA reimplantation or translocation, is crucial to relieve airway compression and restore normal pulmonary function.

Case Presentation: This report highlights varied LPA anatomies, including a unique case of an anomalous LPA without true sling formation but causing tracheal compression, alongside two typical PAS cases.

Implementation of trauma and disaster mental health awareness training in Puerto Rico.

Climate change is disproportionately impacting youth mental health around the world. Using a Community-Based Participatory approach, three universities (one in South Carolina and two in Puerto Rico) partnered after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. We offered culturally and linguistically tailored trauma and disaster-informed mental health awareness training (e.

May family routines impact oral health in American children?

Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the association between family routines and dental caries and self-rated oral health status.

Methods: Data from the 2020-2021 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) completed at United States were used. Our outcome variables were self-reported dental caries (yes/no) and poor oral health condition (yes/no).

Population health and community health: brokering the two through art and community engagement.

The arts and aesthetic experiences have fostered and enhanced relationships between diverse, distinct groups in an effort to build comradery, trust, and engagement. In regards to collaborations between health systems and communities, taking into account strategies to build such relationships is vital in an effort to assure a bidirectional collaboration that implements public health insight and resources effectively. There are many factors warranting consideration when building effective community engagement for health promotion between healthcare systems and local community organizations and residents.
