Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed angiographic characteristics of patients with COVID-19 and STEMI using data from the North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction Registry, focusing on various angiographic outcomes.
- Among 234 patients, 74% had one major blockage (culprit lesion), with significant cases of multivessel disease and stent thrombosis, complicating treatments.
- One-third of the patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had unsuccessful outcomes linked to severe thrombus and poor blood flow, leading to higher in-hospital mortality rates for these cases.
Prevalence and correlates of restless legs syndrome in men living with HIV.
PLoS One
November 2021
Department of Medicine, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida, United States of America.
Background: Data on the prevalence and correlates of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in people with HIV are limited. This study sought to determine the prevalence of RLS, associated clinical correlates, and characterize sleep-related differences in men with and without HIV.
Methods: Sleep-related data were collected in men who have sex with men participating in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS).

Article Synopsis
- Behavioral health clinics often struggle to detect and manage general medical conditions in patients with mental and substance use disorders, prompting the need for a new health integration framework.
- The study introduced this framework to eleven clinics, which helped them assess their integration efforts across various domains and identify current interventions.
- Results indicated that while clinics showed strengths in areas like trauma-informed care and self-management support, there is room for improvement in screening, referrals, and sustainable practices, highlighting the framework's potential to advance GHI best practices.

Acknowledgment: This work was partially supported by a grant from the FDA (R01FD005729). The authors have disclosed no other financial relationships related to this article. Submitted October 29, 2020; accepted in revised form November 23, 2020.
Objective: Leg ulcers affect 15% of people with sickle cell disease. However, wound centers typically treat few people with this condition, which makes it difficult to concentrate clinical expertise or support the scientific study of this orphan disease. This article describes an initiative to increase engagement in care through a partnership between wound healing and hematology leadership that led to colocating wound services within a sickle cell clinic.

J Neuroimaging
November 2021
Departments of Radiology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and The Dominick P Purpura Department of Neuroscience, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, Bronx, NY, USA.
Background And Purpose: There is limited literature on the prevalence of incidental brain MRI findings in the Hispanic/Latino population, despite their increased prevalence of vascular disease and undertreatment of chronic conditions. The purpose of our study was to determine the prevalence of clinically relevant incidental findings on brain MRI examinations obtained as a part of the Study of Latinos-Investigation of NeuroCognitive Aging MRI (SOL-INCA-MRI) study.
Methods: Brain MRI examinations were obtained on 1389 participants in the SOL-INCA-MRI study, a cross-sectional ancillary study of the Hispanic Community Health Study, Study of Latinos, which is a longitudinal, community-based study.
HIV, hepatitis C virus and risk of new-onset left ventricular dysfunction in women.
AIDS
August 2021
Cardiology Section, San Francisco VA Healthcare System and Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA.
Background: HIV and HCV have each been linked with cardiac dysfunction. Studies of HIV have often lacked appropriate controls and primarily involved men, whereas data for HCV are sparse.
Methods: We performed repeat echocardiography over a median interval of 12 years in participants from the Women's Interagency HIV Study in order to evaluate the relationships of HIV and HCV with incident left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (systolic or diastolic).

Gray Matter Morphometry Correlates with Attentional Efficiency in Young-Adult Multiple Sclerosis.
Brain Sci
January 2021
Department of Radiology, Stony Brook University School of Medicine, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA.
Slowed processing on the alerting, orienting and executive control components of attention measured using the Attention Network Test-Interactions (ANT-I) have been widely reported in multiple sclerosis (MS). Despite the assumption that these components correspond to specific neuroanatomical networks in the brain, little is known about gray matter changes that occur in MS and their association with ANT-I performance. We investigated vertex-wise cortical thickness changes and deep gray matter volumetric changes in young MS participants (N = 21, age range: 18-35) with pediatric or young-adult onset and mild disease severity.

J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
September 2020
Department of Public Health Sciences, Penn State University, Hershey, Pa.
Background: Compared with adults, phenotypic characterization of children with asthma is still limited and it remains difficult to predict which children with asthma are at highest risk for poor outcomes.
Objective: To identify latent classes in a large population of treatment-adherent children with mild to moderate asthma enrolled in clinical trials and determine whether latent class assignment predicts future lung function abnormalities and exacerbation rate.
Methods: Latent class analysis was performed on 2593 children with mild to moderate asthma aged 5 18 years, with 19 variables encompassing demographic characteristics, medical history, symptoms, lung function, allergic sensitization, and type 2 inflammation.
Medical Record Documentation About Opioid Tapering: Examining Benefit-to-Harm Framework and Patient Engagement.
Pain Med
October 2020
Department of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Health System, Bronx, New York.
Objective: Guidelines recommend that clinicians make decisions about opioid tapering for patients with chronic pain using a benefit-to-harm framework and engaging patients. Studies have not examined clinician documentation about opioid tapering using this framework.
Design And Setting: Thematic and content analysis of clinician documentation about opioid tapering in patients' medical records in a large academic health system.
Disagreement and Uncertainty Among Experts About how to Respond to Marijuana Use in Patients on Long-term Opioids for Chronic Pain: Results of a Delphi Study.
