This study examined the implementation and hospitalwide scaling of a community-based transitional care program to reduce readmissions among adults 65 years or older. Our analysis was guided by the Care Transitions Framework and was based on semistructured interviews with program implementers to identify intervention successes, barriers, and outcomes beyond reducing readmissions. Such outcomes included the program's critical role in providing a safety net and transition to more advanced care, and redefining intervention success from more patient-centered perspectives.

Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy (EP), typically associated with previous uterine trauma, adenomyosis, or assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as embryo transfer (ET). Despite its potentially life-threatening nature, the absence of definitive preoperative diagnostic criteria for IMP complicates its early detection and management, especially in patients without known risk factors. Additionally, management becomes more challenging when there is an elevated risk of hemorrhage.

Objectives: Advanced HIV disease (AHD) at HIV care enrollment is common in Latin America and may bias cross-sectional care continuum estimates. We therefore explored the impact of AHD on HIV care continuum outcomes using a longitudinal approach.

Methods: We analyzed trajectories of 26,174 adult people with HIV enrolled at Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) sites (2003-2019) using multi-state Cox regression across five stages: (i) enrolled without antiretroviral therapy (no-ART); (ii) on ART without viral suppression (viral load ≥200 copies/m; ART + non-VS); (iii) on ART with viral suppression (viral load <200 copies/ml; ART + VS); (iv) lost to follow-up; (v) death.

This article introduces a surgical technique for cross-intrinsic transfers (CIT) to correct ulnar drift in rheumatoid hands performed under wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT). This approach allows real-time adjustment of tendon transfer tension and active patient participation in hand movements and deformity correction during the procedure. It can be combined with other surgeries such as prosthetic replacement arthroplasties of the MCP joints.
