Barriers and Facilitators to Quality Healthcare for African Americans with Incarceration Histories.
J Gen Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, NY, USA.
Background: Prior research has shown that African American men and women are more likely to receive lower quality healthcare compared to their white counterparts, which is exacerbated in jail and prison healthcare systems.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore barriers and facilitators to quality healthcare among African American men and women released from Illinois State Prisons or Cook County Jail by examining their opinions and experiences with overall healthcare and cancer screening during and after incarceration.
Design: Four focus groups (n = 25 "co-researchers") were conducted to understand how formerly incarcerated African American men and women perceive and describe their experience of accessing, understanding, and utilizing healthcare during and after incarceration.
Cardiac Ablation in the Pediatric Population at a Tertiary Care Center in a Developing Country.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Cardiology Division, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe our experience and outcome of ablation therapy for arrhythmias in pediatrics at a tertiary care center.
Methods: Data was collected retrospectively from the hospital medical records. All pediatrics presenting to AUBMC between 2000 and 2020 who underwent cardiac ablation were included.
Knuckle Guidewires to Create Dissections in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Position Statement.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
October 2024
Minneapolis Heart Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Dissection and re-entry techniques are essential to achieve safe and effective chronic total occlusion recanalization. Several studies have demonstrated similar outcomes following extraplaque stenting compared with intraplaque stenting. Dissection techniques most often involve the use of knuckled wires to progress within and beyond the chronic total occlusion segment.

Article Synopsis
- Mouse models with humanized ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes were created to study how Th1 and Th2 immune responses affect SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Mice infected with the Delta variant required ACE2 for lung infection, while Omicron didn't, with Omicron causing more severe disease in specific mouse models.
- The study suggests that the genetic background of the host influences the immune response and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections, highlighting the need for more research on this variability.
Cardiovascular effects of long-duration space flight.
Health Sci Rep
August 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine Cardiovascular Analytics Group Islamabad Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- Early research shows that the body can adapt to space travel changes, but prolonged spaceflight over 6 months poses complex health risks, particularly to the cardiovascular (CV) system.
- Long-term exposure to microgravity causes fluid shifts and alters blood pressure regulation, which can lead to cardiovascular problems like reduced venous pressure and increased cardiac output.
- Additionally, astronauts may experience cardiac muscle atrophy, changes in hematocrit, and arrhythmias, along with increased risks of coronary artery issues from radiation exposure during deep space missions.
