Article Synopsis
- This study examined how social determinants of health (SDoH) impact HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers (OPSCC) in different sexes, analyzing data from 2010 to 2018.
- The researchers found that male patients, especially those who are Black or from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, experienced delays in treatment and worse mortality rates compared to females, especially Black females.
- The study highlights significant disparities driven by social factors, emphasizing the need for tailored healthcare strategies and policies to address these issues in HPV-positive OPSCC patients.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of ketamine on intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) in children with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- Using a retrospective analysis of 33 patients, the study found no increase in ICP after ketamine administration, which is significant as it suggests safety in using ketamine for sedation or during ICP crises.
- Ketamine was associated with a decrease in ICP and an increase in CPP during ICP crises, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for managing TBI in children if confirmed in further research.
