As people with HIV live longer and healthier, it has become more likely that they will assume a caregiver role for their families and/or friends. Yet, there is a significant gap in the literature that older caregivers with HIV (OCWH) have not received attention from practitioners and researchers. To fill the gap, our qualitative study was conducted with OCWH ( N = 19) to explore various themes such as adjustment to caregiving, caregiving responsibilities, HIV and other health issues, support systems, caregiving outcomes, needs assessment, cognitive health, and the impact of COVID-19. Results indicated that each OCWH faced their own unique challenges (e.g., severity of health conditions, intense caregiving responsibilities, caregiving situation, lack of social support/transportation/financial means), but they expressed positive and fulfilling caregiving outcomes. Understanding the lived experiences of OCWH is requisite to develop holistic service programs to meet their caregiving needs while supporting their HIV health and co-occurring health conditions.

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have increased interest in intelligent transportation systems, particularly autonomous vehicles. Safe navigation in traffic-heavy environments requires accurate road scene segmentation, yet traditional computer vision methods struggle with complex scenarios. This study emphasizes the role of deep learning in improving semantic segmentation using datasets like the Indian Driving Dataset (IDD), which presents unique challenges in chaotic road conditions.

The Trauma Survivors Network (TSN), a program of the American Trauma Society (ATS), has a unique history spanning decades with a vision to continue expanding and strengthening services to support survivors and families impacted by traumatic injury. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the ATS has adapted TSN services to provide both virtual and in-person services for trauma survivors, increasing equity and inclusion for many survivors to access TSN services for the first time. The recent policy changes in the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma provide an impetus for the TSN to grow and expand services in support of a diverse group of trauma survivors and their loved ones.

Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary liver cancer, and its global incidence has increased in recent years. Radical surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy have traditionally been the standard treatment options. However, the complexity of cholangiocarcinoma subtypes often presents a challenge for early diagnosis.

Background: Childhood autoimmune disorders involve the immune system attacking its own tissues, leading to varied symptoms, while autoinflammatory disorders result from innate immune system dysregulation, both requiring extensive diagnosis and multidisciplinary management due to their complexity.
Case Presentation: We present a unique clinical case of a teenager with a combination of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. The initial manifestation of hip pain, coupled with progressive symptoms over several years and findings in multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, culminated in the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO).
