Impact of coincident lower extremity deep vein thrombosis on symptomatic and incidental pulmonary embolism outcomes. A single-center prospective cohort study.

Background: The prognostic implications of co-incident DVT at the time of PE diagnosis remains unclear.

Objectives: Study aims were to assess the impact of co-incident lower extremity (LE) deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on clinical outcomes of pulmonary embolism (PE) including venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and mortality.

Methods: Consecutive patients with confirmed acute symptomatic or incidental PE (March 1, 2013 to June 30, 2021) who underwent ultrasound imaging were divided into two groups depending on the presence or absence of LE DVT.

Pulmonary vein thrombosis: Clinical presentation and outcomes.

Background: Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare thromboembolic disease with potential high-risk complications related to arterial embolization, but little is known regarding risk factors and outcomes.

Objective: To describe the etiology, management, and clinical course of PVT.

Methods: Institutional health records were queried (1/1/2001-12/30/2023) to identify patients ≥18 years of age diagnosed with PVT.

Medicaid policy data for evaluating eligibility and programmatic changes.

Objectives: Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provide health insurance coverage to more than 90 million Americans as of early 2023. There is substantial variation in eligibility criteria, application procedures, premiums, and other programmatic characteristics across states and over time. Analyzing changes in Medicaid policies is important for state and federal agencies and other stakeholders, but such analysis requires data on historical programmatic characteristics that are often not available in a form ready for quantitative analysis.

Examining the Impact of Breast Augmentation vs Hormone Therapy on Chest Femininity of Transgender Women.

Background: For transgender women, there is often the innate assumption that surgical breast augmentation will increase perceived chest femininity beyond hormone therapy alone.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate whether lay individuals found surgically augmented breasts more feminine than breast development from hormone replacement therapy alone in transgender patients.

Methods: We obtained preoperative (maximal breast growth on hormone therapy) and postoperative chest (after primary augmentation) images of 22 transgender patients, and age- and BMI-matched cisgender male (n = 17) and female (n = 21) control patients.

Ultra-small cobalt particles embedded in titania by ion beam synthesis: Additional datasets including electron microscopy, neutron reflectometry, modelling outputs and particle size analysis.

This Data-in-brief article includes datasets of electron microscopy, polarised neutron reflectometry and magnetometry for ultra-small cobalt particles formed in titania thin films via ion beam synthesis. Raw data for polarised neutron reflectometry, magnetometry and the particle size distribution are included and made available on a public repository. Additional elemental maps from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) are also presented.
