Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in people with HIV (PWH) and increases the risk of hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We sent an online survey to providers of the American Academy of HIV Medicine. Of respondents (n = 214, 8% response rate), 65% reported screening for NAFLD in PWH, with 28% routinely screening all patients.

The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device has become a prominent treatment for wide-neck bifurcation intracranial aneurysms since its FDA approval in 2018. However, the impact of anticoagulant therapy on its efficacy and patient outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of postoperative anticoagulant use on aneurysm occlusion, retreatment rates, and functional outcomes following WEB device implantation.

Use of cannabis and alcohol were common during pregnancy and the first year postpartum among people with HIV in the United States (2007-2019), but there were no major differences in substance use during pregnancy based on mode of HIV acquisition. The relatively high prevalence of substance use in this population, particularly postpartum alcohol and cannabis use, warrants further attention.

Legionella pneumophila is a potentially life-threatening infection, especially for individuals with compromised cell-mediated immunity. Typical chest CT findings include multilobed or multisegmented consolidations and ground-glass opacities, but cavitary lesions are rare. This case report details a 29-year-old male renal transplant recipient who developed cavitary Legionnaires' pneumonia.

Background: We used a social network approach to identify influential community organizations within integrated public health networks in three regions in Texas, US: Houston/Harris County, Cameron County, and Northeast Texas. The study aimed to understand how network structures influence organizational performance in COVID-19 response.
Methods: In collaboration with community partners in each region, we administered a snowball sampling network data collection.

Background: Spetzler-Martin (SM) Grade III brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) represent a transitional risk zone between low- and high-grade BAVMs, characterized by diverse angioarchitecture. The primary treatment options are endovascular embolization, microsurgical resection (MS), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This study compares the efficacy and outcomes of MS and SRS.

Objective: 8-30 % of patients who present with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA). Although prompt treatment to secure ruptured aneurysms (RA) is standard of care, there is no clear consensus regarding whether incidental unruptured aneurysms (UA) should be treated during the same procedural time as the RA. This study aims to examine the effect of treatment of UA during the same procedural time as treatment for the RA (concurrent treatment) versus delaying the treatment of an UA after discharging the patient (delayed treatment).

Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), formerly recognized as marantic endocarditis, represents a rare cardiovascular pathology intricately linked with hypercoagulable states, notably malignancy and autoimmune disorders. Characterized by the development of sterile vegetations comprised of fibrin and platelets on cardiac valves, NBTE poses a diagnostic challenge due to its resemblance to infective endocarditis. Therapeutic endeavours primarily revolve around addressing the underlying aetiology and instituting anticoagulant regimens to forestall embolic events, with surgical intervention seldom warranted.

Purpose: Chronic pain is common among people with spinal cord injury (PwSCI) and impacts mental health (MH). Mindfulness may buffer the association of pain with MH, but few studies have examined this among PwSCI. This study examines the extent to which mindfulness moderates the association of pain intensity with MH among PwSCI.

Purpose: The topical administration of spironolactone, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) improves dry eye symptoms in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD); however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of spironolactone eyedrops on the ocular surface using a chronic GVHD (cGVHD) mouse model and to determine the expression of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR).
Methods: A cGVHD mouse model was established by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from B10.

Background: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon cerebral lesions that can cause significant neurological complications. Surgical resection is the gold standard for treatment, but endovascular embolization and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are viable alternatives.
Objective: To compare the outcomes of endovascular embolization versus SRS in the treatment of AVMs with Spetzler-Martin grades I-III.

Background: A wealth of clinically relevant information is only obtainable within unstructured clinical narratives, leading to great interest in clinical natural language processing (NLP). While a multitude of approaches to NLP exist, current algorithm development approaches have limitations that can slow the development process. These limitations are exacerbated when the task is emergent, as is the case currently for NLP extraction of signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

In this Perspective, I discuss the limitations of a soft primary endpoint that is used in some of the recent randomized phase II/III clinical trials. Unfortunately, many clinicians and investigators do not interpret the data critically to recognize the limitations of such findings. I advise against over-interpreting the effects of an intervention on a soft primary endpoint.

One overlooked result in a 1989 paper on the "cycle of violence" was a race-specific increase in risk for arrest for violence among Black maltreated children, but not White maltreated children. We examine whether race differences in the cycle of violence are explained by risk factors traditionally associated with violence. Using a prospective design, maltreated and non-maltreated children were matched on age, sex, race, and approximate family social class and interviewed at mean age 28.

Myelodysplastic syndrome, or myelodysplastic neoplasms, are a rare finding in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult (AYA) patients. More literature is needed to highlight trends of survival or treatment resistance in subpopulations to improve treatment. Here we report a single center retrospective analysis of pediatric and AYA patients from 2000 to 2022 including molecular and cytogenetic data.
