Objective: To estimate the number of midwives providing care primarily in Nevada.
Study Setting And Design: A cross-sectional study of Nevada was conducted in May, 2024 to compare the agreement between two lists of midwives in Nevada. Midwives were considered as providing care primarily in Nevada if they (1) had an active licence with a Nevada address and (2) listed a Nevada practice site in their National Provider Identifier file.
Data Sources And Analytic Sample: The sample of midwives associated with Nevada was created by combining (1) the State Board of Nursing list of nurse-midwife licensees and (2) the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System Data Dissemination file enumerates identified as advanced practice midwives with a Nevada licence or practice location in Nevada.
Principle Findings: Only 55% of nurse-midwives with active Nevada licences are providing care full-time in Nevada.
Conclusions: Nurse-midwife licensee lists may overstate the number of nurse-midwives practicing full-time in the state. States may consider nurse licence compacts with registration for telehealth or hub-and-spoke models of care to identify the extent to which out-of-state midwives are filling gaps in access to care.

Objectives: The objective of this review is to identify, appraise, and synthesize available evidence on the experiences of informal caregivers providing HIV and/or AIDS care and the experiences of care received by people living with HIV and/or AIDS (PLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa.
Introduction: PLHIV share the burden of the disease with their informal caregivers throughout their lives. Experiences of HIV- and/or AIDS-related caregiving and care receiving have a significant impact on the treatment and physiological health outcomes of both care receivers and caregivers.

Aim: Rehospitalization of patients with heart failure (HF) incurs high health care costs and increased mortality. Infection-related rehospitalizations in patients with HF occur frequently, and the risk increases with age. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with infection-related rehospitalizations in older patients with HF.

Data on sex differences in peripheral vascular disease are ill defined, and there is a need to report and understand those sex-related differences to mitigate adverse outcomes related to those disparities. Although peripheral vascular disease is a highly diverse group of disorders affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatics, this scientific statement focuses on disorders affecting the peripheral arteries to include the aorta and its branch vessels.

Cardiac dysfunction is a serious complication of sepsis-induced multiorgan failure in intensive care units and is characterized by an uncontrolled immune response to overwhelming infection. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), as a part of the innate immune system, play a crucial role in the inflammatory process of heterogeneous cardiac disorders. However, the role of ILC2 in regulating sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction and its underlying mechanism remain unknown.
