Acceptability, Feasibility, and Appropriateness of the B-OK Bottles as an Implementation Strategy for Treatment Adherence Support by Medical Case Managers.

Antiretroviral therapy treatment adherence support by medical case managers is an evidence-based practice, but effectiveness may be constrained by limited understanding of antiretroviral therapy's benefits among people with HIV. We used mixed methods to evaluate the pre-implementation context of the B-OK Bottles ("B-OK") - a visual aid designed to correct HIV mental models - as an implementation strategy for treatment adherence support by medical case managers in Philadelphia. We assessed outcomes of acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness among medical case managers and people with HIV.

Oropouche Virus Disease Among U.S. Travelers - United States, 2024.

The virus is spread to humans by infected biting midges and some mosquito species. Although infection typically causes a self-limited febrile illness, reports of two deaths in patients with Oropouche virus infection and vertical transmission associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes have raised concerns about the threat of this virus to human health.

Analysing data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, which is a major cohort study that tracks children born at the start of the 21st century, we examine children's enjoyment of both school and individual academic subject areas.
