Being sued can have significant emotional and psychological impact and has implications on the wellness of emergency radiologists. A better understanding of the steps involved in a medical malpractice suit can help defuse some of the anxiety of litigation. This process starts with the inception of the case, the summons, and complaint, then progresses to discovery, including document production, interrogatories, and deposition, and thereafter to settlement or trial. The discussion includes a number of tips and outlines a number of pitfalls inherent in litigation. It is hoped that this discussion will alleviate some of the anxiety that accompanies this long and arduous process.

AIDS Res Ther

Lluita contra les Infeccions, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Badalona, Spain.
Background: Older People Living with HIV (OPWH) combine both aging and HIV-infection features, resulting in ageism, stigma, social isolation, and low quality of life. This context brings up new challenges for healthcare professionals, who now must aid patients with a significant comorbidity burden and polypharmacy treatments. OPWH opinion on their health management is hardly ever considered as a variable to study, though it would help to understand their needs on dissimilar settings.

Int J Environ Res Public Health
June 2022
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556, USA.
Does representative hazardous-waste-site testing tend to follow or to violate government technical guidance? This is an important question, because following such guidance promotes reliable risk analysis, adequate remediation, and environmental-justice and -health protection. Yet only government documents typically address this question, usually only when it is too late, when citizens have already exhibited health harm, allegedly from living or working near current/former hazardous-waste sites. Because no systematic, representative, scientific analyses have answered the preceding question, this article begins to investigate it by posing a narrower part of the question: Does representative US testing of volatile-organic-compound (VOC) waste sites tend to follow or to violate government technical requirements? The article (i) outlines US/state-government technical guidance for VOC testing; (ii) develops criteria for discovering representative US cases of VOC testing; (iii) uses the dominant US Environmental Protection Agency method to assess whether these representative cases follow such guidance; (iv) employs the results of (iii) to begin to answer the preceding question; then (v) discusses the degree to which, if any, these results suggest threats to environmental health or justice.

Lancet HIV
May 2022
Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programmes, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- * While the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges that nurses can also provide HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), many countries lack the necessary policies to support this practice, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
- * There is a growing recognition among service providers that expanding access to PrEP requires nurse involvement, and countries that allow nurses to prescribe ART could set a precedent for broader implementation of nurse-led PrEP delivery.
