Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large vessel vasculitis with cranial and extracranial vessel involvement. Clinicians suspect GCA when a patient exhibits symptoms or exam findings of temporal headache with sudden vision loss, jaw or tongue claudication, scalp tenderness, abnormal temporal artery exam, and diagnostic findings, including elevated inflammatory markers. We present a case, which highlights that, despite established diagnostic measures, challenges persist.

Background: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by severe headaches, often thunderclap headaches, and a multifocal constriction of the cerebral arteries. Although RCVS can occur spontaneously, some cases occur after exposure to drugs. We describe the first case of RCVS in which methylphenidate, a drug with vasoconstrictive properties, is the only suspected drug.

Purpose: Job satisfaction among blood center nurses is suboptimal due to challenging working conditions, characterized by unexpected tasks resulting from sudden schedule changes and frequent weekend shifts. This study aimed to quantitatively examine the relationships between job stress, psychological capital, person-job fit, job crafting, and job satisfaction, based on the job crafting model. Additionally, qualitative data were collected through mixed methods to gain a better understanding of the experiences related to job satisfaction among blood center nurses.

Robert's Program on Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background And Objectives: A death scene investigation is required to determine sudden infant death syndrome, and a doll reenactment optimizes the information obtained. The aim of this study was to explore how acutely bereaved parents experience doll reenactments that are conducted after the sudden and unexpected deaths of their infants.
Methods: A mixed-methods design, including surveys and semi-structured interviews, was used in a cross-sectional, national study to explore the experiences of doll reenactment among 45 bereaved parents.
Individual-, Hospital-, And Community-Level Factors Associated With Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Among Infants Born Preterm in 5 US States.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
Objective: To investigate individual-, hospital-, and community-level factors associated with sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) among infants born preterm.
Study Design: The following linked dataset from 5 states (California, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) from 2005 through 2020 was used: 1) infant birth and death certificates; 2) maternal and infant birth hospitalization discharge records; 3) birthing hospital data from the American Hospital Association; and 4) community-level data from the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI).) Multivariable models were used to assess the independent association between these multi-level factors and SUID, adjusting for several maternal and infant characteristics.
