Lifetime traumatic events are prevalent among people with HIV and consistently associated with deleterious HIV outcomes. Yet, little is known about the impact of recent stressful events on health outcomes among Black women with HIV (WWH). This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence of recent stressful events and lifetime traumatic events and their association with HIV outcomes in Black WWH ( n = 200) in the Southeastern United States. We evaluated the association between stressful events and HIV outcomes using chi-square tests and unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analyses. In the unadjusted analyses, missed visits were associated with higher odds of recent stressful events (odds ratio [OR] 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.16) and lifetime traumatic events (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.26). In the adjusted analysis, exposure to recent stressful events was independently associated with missed visits (adjusted OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01-1.15). Interventions addressing recent stressful events are warranted.

Background: The pathomechanism of blast traumatic brain injury (TBI) and blunt TBI is different. In blast injury, evidence indicates that a single blast exposure can often manifest long-term neurological impairments. However, its pathomechanism is still elusive, and treatments have been symptomatic.

Objective: Both the en bloc island technique and the branched graft technique (BGT) present advantages but also limitations in aortic arch surgery. Here is the first presentation of an innovative prosthesis for aortic arch replacement, conceived to overcome the disadvantages of both techniques.
Methods: The novel ISLAND graft is a tubular Dacron or hybrid prosthesis with an additional extended Dacron graft ("bubble") on the superior aspect, for en bloc island graft anastomosis.

Introduction: Intrusive memories occur frequently after potentially traumatic events and form a core symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) if they persist. The translational approach of visuospatial interventions tries to target those intrusive memories in order to reduce their frequency predominantly using an intervention including as one component the computer game Despite promising results, the application of has critical drawbacks, e.g.

With a better understanding of the susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) and the thrombogenicity of the left atrium, the concept of atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) has emerged. The conventional viewpoint holds that AF-associated hemodynamic disturbances and thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage are the primary causes of cardiogenic embolism events. However, substantial evidence suggests that the relationship between cardiogenic embolism and AF is not so absolute, and that ACM may be an important, underestimated contributor to cardiogenic embolism events.

This is a case of a young, 20-year-old, male Navy recruit who was admitted to our healthcare facility with intermittent atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms and was diagnosed with myocardial bridging (MB) as the most likely etiology of his chest after the complete cardiac workup, leading to his career limitations due to potential risks. Our patient presented with atypical chest pain and limiting exertional symptoms. Chest pain was non-radiating.
