Introduction: Although the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) approach has demonstrated safety, efficacy, and durability for small- to medium-sized hernia repairs, the relationships between retrorectus insufflation, intraoperative respiratory stability, and end-tidal CO (ETCO) levels has not been appraised.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing elective robotic-assisted ventral hernia repairs at our quaternary academic center from July 2018 through December 2021. Patients were grouped by repair technique, either eTEP or robotic transversus abdominis release (r-TAR).

Living in recovery housing can improve addiction recovery and desistance outcomes. This study examined whether retention in recovery housing and types of discharge outcomes (completed, "neutral," and "negative" outcomes) differed for clients with recent criminal legal system (CLS) involvement. Using data from 101 recovery residences certified by the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences based on 1,978 individuals completing the REC-CAP assessment, competing risk analyses (cumulative incidence function, restricted mean survival time, and restricted mean time lost) followed by the marginalization of effects were implemented to examine program outcomes at final discharge.

Who Persists and Who Desists? A Prospective Study of Prescription Stimulant Misuse in College Graduates.

J Drug Issues

April 2024

Richard Feinn, Ph.D., Frank H. Netter School of Medicine, Quinnipiac University, 370 Bassett Road, North Haven, CT 06473.

Prescription stimulant misuse (PSM) has been studied extensively in college populations, but few studies have examined how PSM changes after graduation. We used a longitudinal design to follow individuals at risk for PSM two years after college graduation to document PSM prevalence, motives, and predictors of PSM persistence. Participants from two small, private colleges completed online surveys focused on intrapersonal, interpersonal, and sociocultural predictors of PSM.

Introduction: An upcoming offender rehabilitation model, the Good Lives Model (GLM), proposes that effective offender rehabilitation should adopt a focus: reducing recidivism risk enhancing the offender's well-being. To achieve this, the GLM suggests rehabilitation should include the prosocial fulfilment of a universal set of human needs termed "primary goods." A focus on primary goods attainment and well-being is hypothesized to improve treatment motivation and achieve more sustainable desistance from future offending.

Disrupting the Trauma- To - Prison Pipeline For Justice-Involved Young Women Victimized By Violence.

J Child Adolesc Trauma

June 2023

Graduate College of Social Work, University of Houston, 3511 Cullen Blvd Room 110HA, 77204-4013 Houston, TX United States.

Article Synopsis
  • Rates of aggressive behavior among Justice-Involved Young Women (JIYW) have risen, yet there is limited research and intervention aimed specifically at this group.
  • The study hypothesized that greater self-restraint in JIYW could lessen the impact of exposure to violence on aggressive behavior.
  • Findings indicated that self-restraint serves as a protective factor, reducing the likelihood of serious aggressive offending among those with violent exposure, emphasizing the importance of trauma-responsive interventions to improve social skills.
