Background: We hypothesize that there is a higher incidence of vasectomy within the military at a younger age based on this equal access health care system.
Materials And Methods: A review of the CHAMPS military database was conducted for men receiving vasectomies from 2000 to 2009. Age at vasectomy, number of children, race, religion, and marital status were recorded and incidence was computed.
Results: Total of 82,945 vasectomies was performed. The overall incidence to have a vasectomy was approximately 7.10 per 1000 men. The highest rate of occurrence was 14.4 per 1000 men in men 30-34 years old. Whites had a higher rate than blacks at 10.03 per 1000 men compared to 6.27 per 1000 men. Protestants had the highest rate at 8.44 per 1000 men, and Jewish people had the lowest at 1.86 per 1000 men. Married men had a rate of 12.3 per 1000 men, whereas single men were 1.03 per 1000 men.
Conclusions: The incidence to have a vasectomy in the military was 7.10 per 1000 men, with an age adjusted rate at 8.66 per 1000 men. This information may assist primary care providers in discussing vasectomies as a permanent form of contraception.

December 2024
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is increasingly recognized as an effective treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in myocarditis patients, although current evidence is based on less robust data.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm CA's efficacy in reducing VT recurrence and to identify arrhythmic risk factors in biopsy-proven myocarditis patients.
Methods: In this dual-center, retrospective study, we included 50 patients with biopsy-proven myocarditis and VT.
Repeatability of AI-based, automatic measurement of vertebral and cardiovascular imaging biomarkers in low-dose chest CT: the ImaLife cohort.

Department of Radiology, University of Groningen, University Medical Center of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Objective: To evaluate the repeatability of AI-based automatic measurement of vertebral and cardiovascular markers on low-dose chest CT.
Methods: We included participants of the population-based Imaging in Lifelines (ImaLife) study with low-dose chest CT at baseline and 3-4 month follow-up. An AI system (AI-Rad Companion chest CT prototype) performed automatic segmentation and quantification of vertebral height and density, aortic diameters, heart volume (cardiac chambers plus pericardial fat), and coronary artery calcium volume (CACV).
