Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore how and why some low-income Black caregivers seek medication treatment for their children with ADHD.
Methods: Using a sequential exploratory mixed method design, Phase 1 comprised an indepth case study design of seven low-income Black caregivers of children receiving medication for ADHD. Based on findings from Phase 1, the second phase involved a secondary analysis of data on Black uninsured or publicly insured children age 6 to 17 with ADHD ( = 450).
Results: Factors influencing medication decision-making included child safety and volatility, caregiver mental health, caregiver aggravation, family centered care (FCC), shared decision making (SDM), sole caregiver status, and school involvement. After adjusting for ADHD severity, previous receipt of special education services and experiences of FCC and SDM were independently associated with receipt of a medication for ADHD.
Conclusions: Clinicians and school personnel can intervene to decrease disparities in the treatment of ADHD.

Objective: This study addressed whether kidney transplant (KTx) candidates, ages 60+, should accept a high KDPI kidney and differences when considering a high (>85% vs low (<85%) KDPI KTx.
Summary/background Data: To date, there is limited survival data to guide decision-making for patients aged 60 years and older who are faced with the choice of accepting a high KDPI kidney or remaining on the waitlist.
Methods: Propensity-matched cohort study using data from United Network on Organ Sharing (2014-2021).
Ethical issues surrounding the implementation of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: This article discusses the ethical issues surrounding the integration of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LA-ART) in the programmatic management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As the medical landscape evolves, implementing LA-ART introduces many ethical issues that should be considered for the success of scale-up in diverse settings.
Methods: This article examines key issues such as bioethical concerns around the rollout of LA-ART, including regulatory requirements, a person's autonomy, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality; the societal implications of providing LA-ART, including the impact on stigma and discrimination; ethics around who receives LA-ART, financial accessibility, equitable access, inclusive decision-making and cultural sensitivity; and the ethics of providing an expensive intervention, including cost-effectiveness, supply chain sustainability and resource allocation.

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a common complication in patients who inject drugs. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with IE affecting both the aortic and tricuspid valves, along with a cardiac implantable electronic device infection, 11 weeks after combined aortic valve replacement, tricuspid valve replacement, and pacemaker implantation. The patient declined the medically indicated cardiac surgery due to her recent taxing surgical and rehabilitation experiences.

Through compositional inclusion or exclusion, the photograph can assert and communicate what belongs in a picture, in a landscape, in an ecosystem. It can illuminate what we deem conservation-worthy, or, on a larger scale, which extinctions are attention-worthy. Photographic practice helps to illuminate the active nature of extinction, and our choices as actors and witnesses within that process.
