Treatment of Cognitive Deficits and Behavioral Symptoms Following COVID-19-Associated Autoimmune Encephalitis With Intravenous Immunoglobulin: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with long-term neuropsychiatric sequelae. We describe a 60-year-old male patient's history and symptom trajectory encompassing the development of behavioral symptoms and cognitive deficits following pneumonia and subsequent autoimmune encephalitis associated with COVID-19. We also describe changes in these facets with correlative changes in his immunological parameters after both acute intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and chronic periodic IVIG therapy every two weeks over the course of two years.

Facilitators and barriers to utilization of medications for opioid use disorder in primary care in South Carolina.

Objective: Utilization of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) has not been widely adopted by primary care providers. This study sought to identify interprofessional barriers and facilitators for use of MOUD (specifically naltrexone and buprenorphine) among current and future primary care providers in a southeastern academic center in South Carolina.

Method: Faculty, residents, and students within family medicine, internal medicine, and a physician assistant program participated in focus group interviews, and completed a brief survey.

Innovations for integrated care: The Association of Medicine and Psychiatry recognizes new models.

This editorial looks at the current state of the integration of medicine and psychiatry in clinical practice. We note selected recent triumphs and barriers to implementing integrated care, highlighting some gaps and priorities for future innovations. In contrast to the relatively more orderly culture of health services research, where some notable innovations in integrated care were funded, tested, and published, the health care marketplace can be a difficult place to identify and track the innovations that could shape health care reform.

Dorsal eye selector pannier (pnr) suppresses the eye fate to define dorsal margin of the Drosophila eye.

Axial patterning is crucial for organogenesis. During Drosophila eye development, dorso-ventral (DV) axis determination is the first lineage restriction event. The eye primordium begins with a default ventral fate, on which the dorsal eye fate is established by expression of the GATA-1 transcription factor pannier (pnr).
