Longitudinal dynamics between the central nodes in the symptoms network of borderline personality disorder: An intraindividual network analysis.

Background: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe and heterogeneous psychiatric condition. Current research has some limitations: (1) findings from group (i.e.

Associations of Left Atrial Volume Index to Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Ratio with Clinical Outcomes in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis.

Background: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) affects all cardiac chambers to cause left ventricular (LV) deformation as well as left atrial (LA) remodeling and functional impairment. We investigated the associations of the LA volume index (LAVI):LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ratio with the increased risk of death, heart transplant, or LV assist device implantation (LVAD) in patients with ATTR-CM.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study involving 69 heart failure (HF) patients with ATTR-CM at an academic medical center between 1 November 2008 and 31 March 2024.

External Physical Demands during Official Under-18 Basketball Games: Consideration of Overtime Periods.

The purpose of this study was to identify the external demands during official under-18 basketball matches that included four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) and/or overtime (OT) periods. Variables included: 1) distance covered and distance covered within four intensity zones (standing-walking S-W, jogging JOG, running RUN, and high-speed running HSR); 2) explosive efforts per minute (EEs); 3) PlayerLoad (PL); 4) the number of jumps per minute; 5) the number of accelerations above 2 m·s2 (ACCs); and 6) the number of decelerations above -2 m·s2 per minute (DECs). The values for total distance, JOG, RUN, HSR, PL, ACC, and DEC were significantly smaller during periods Q2, Q3, Q4, and OT compared to Q1.

A 64-Year-Old Woman With Molluscum Contagiosum Arising in a Melanocytic Nevus: A Case Report of an Unusual Coexistence.

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) virus is a poxvirus that infects epidermal keratinocytes producing cutaneous nodules with characteristic intracytoplasmic inclusions. Intradermal nevus is a benign lesion that typically presents as clusters of melanocytes within the dermal layer of skin. Although both MC and melanocytic nevus are common lesions, MC arising within a melanocytic nevus is a rare event with only a few cases published in the literature.
