HIV/AIDS stigma manifestations during clinical interactions with MSM in Puerto Rico.

HIV/AIDS stigma can have detrimental effects on physician/patient interactions when manifested by health professionals. Unfortunately, HIV/AIDS stigma is usually manifested in an intersectional manner with other pre-existing stigmas, including stigma towards men who have sex with men (MSM). Therefore, our study aimed to xamine the behavioral manifestations of HIV/AIDS stigma among physicians in training during simulated clinical interactions with MSM, and explore the interrelation between HIV/AIDS stigma attitudes and behaviors.

HIV/AIDS and intersectional stigmas: Examining stigma related behaviours among medical students during service delivery.

HIV/AIDS stigma remains a major global health issue with detrimental consequences for people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA), especially when manifested by health professionals. Research on HIV/AIDS stigma has documented negative attitudes towards PWHA among health professionals. However, fewer studies have examined how HIV/AIDS stigma is manifested behaviourally during clinical interactions and how it interacts with other stigmas (i.

Beyond negative attitudes: Examining HIV/AIDS stigma behaviors in clinical encounters.

HIV/AIDS related stigma remains a major global health issue with detrimental consequences for the treatment and health of people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA), especially when manifested by health professionals. Research on HIV/AIDS stigma has successfully documented negative attitudes towards PWHA among health professionals. However, fewer studies have examined how stigma is manifested behaviorally by health professionals during clinical interactions.

Cystic adnexal mass in a 16-year-old female: Ovarian pathology or complication of a Müllerian anomaly?

Unlabelled:

Objective:

Background: Müllerian anomalies encompass a wide variety of malformations in the female genital tract, usually associated with renal and anorectal malformations. Of these anomalies, approximately 11% are uterus didelphys, which occurs when midline fusion of the müllerian ducts is arrested to a variable extent.

Case Report: We report the case of a 16-year-old female with uterine didelphys, jejunal malrotation, hematometra, hematosalpinx, and bilateral subcentimeter homogenous circular cystic-like renal lesions, who initially presented with left lower quadrant abdominal pain, non-bloody vomiting, and a history of irregular menstrual periods.

Integration of high-fidelity simulator in third-year paediatrics clerkship.

Background: Simulation in medicine is a useful tool for assessing clinical competencies. The liaison committee on medical education expects students to have simulation experiences in the curriculum. The integration of simulators has been encouraged for clinical clerkships.

Respiratory illness in late preterm infants during the first six months of life.

Unlabelled: Late preterm infants are physiologically immature and at risk for respiratory complications. The study's objective was to determine the incidence of respiratory illnesses in a group of preterm infants (33-35 weeks) during the first six months of life.

Methods: Parents were contacted by phone in the six months period after participating in an educational program and a short survey was performed.

Knowledge and misconceptions about immunizations among medical students, pediatric, and family medicine resident.

Background: Previous research has indicated that, despite being the most trusted source of health information, medical students, residents and other health related professionals lack accurate and current knowledge regarding immunization practices.

Objective: To evaluate medical students and primary care resident knowledge about immunizations.

Methods: Self-administered survey given to students from four medical schools, Pediatrics residents (2 training programs) and Family Medicine residents (2 programs).
