Barriers in Cleft Service Access in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Thematic Analysis of Practical Needs of Rural Families
CONCLUSIONS: Areas of poor awareness, misinformation from primary health care workers, financial hurdles, multiple transportation logistics and others were identified. Aggressive broadcasting of information through radio, timely treatment and collaboration with influential religious leaders were emphasized. Support, grants and subsidies from government and voluntary agencies are encouraged to mitigate the huge out of pocket cost of cleft care in the region.PMID:38557293 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241244976 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

A Patient and Clinician Focus Group Study to Inform the Design and Clinical Integration of a Wearable Activity Monitor to Support Chronic Low Back Pain Management
Remaining physically active is a recommended component of chronic low back pain (cLBP) management. In clinic, physical activity is typically assessed by retrospective self-evaluation, and may be supplemented by objective measures. However, due to technological burdens faced by patients and clinicians, current objective assessment methods of daily physical activity are not suitable for routine care. To address this, we are developing a discreet, single-use wrist-worn activity monitor to support cLBP clinical management. (Source: The Journal of Pain)

Patient Race and Gender Do Not Predict Opioid-Related Concerns or Problems in Diverse, Veteran, Chronic Pain Sample
Opioid-related risk assessment is recommended to assess the balance of harms and benefits of long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) for patients with chronic pain. As few concrete guidelines exist to assist providers in these assessments, there is ample room for providers ’ best judgment as well as inadvertent bias. Indeed, prior research has demonstrated that patient race and gender may impact physicians’ assessments of patients’ opioid-related problems. The present secondary analysis of data from a voluntary opioid tapering pilot study examined whether patien t race or gender predicted patient-reported opioid-related prob...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling of the Effect of Outflow Graft Flow on Vessel Wall Deformation: Possible Implications for Aortic Regurgitation Development in Patients with Continuous-Flow LVAD
Purpose: Aortic regurgitation (AR), the diastolic reverse flow of blood from the ascending aorta into the left ventricle, is a common condition in patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We investigated the effect of the outflow graft (OG) flow on the aortic vessel wall and AR development in patients with LVAD. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Genomic Research Alliance for Transplantation GRAfT: A Model to Access Patients and Promote NHLBI DIR Research
Purpose: Mitigating the unusual high mortality from transplant rejection drives the NHLBI intramural research, however access is limited for populations currently not seen at the NIH Clinical Center. One approach to this limitation is the GRAfT study model: an intramural-extramural collaboration to grant access to those populations and to promote heart and lung transplant research.

Presence of tuberculosis symptoms among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zimbabwe
AIDS Res Ther. 2024 Mar 28;21(1):18. doi: 10.1186/s12981-024-00605-8.ABSTRACTWe conducted secondary data analysis using a biobehavioral survey dataset of 1538 MSM from Zimbabwe. Survey participants were screened for the four symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis infection using the WHO TB screening algorithm. Results: All participants experienced at least one symptom suggestive of tuberculosis. 40% of HIV-positive MSM reported having had a cough in the last month and 13% of them experienced unexpected weight loss. The prevalence of experiencing any of the four TB symptoms amongst HIV-positive MSM was 23%. Contribution There ...

Effects of PCV10 and PCV13 on pneumococcal serotype 6C disease, carriage, and antimicrobial resistance
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to PCV10, PCV13 vaccination consistently protected against 6C IPD and NPC in children, and provided some level of indirect protection to adults, supporting that serotype 6A but not 6B provides cross-protection to 6C. Vaccine policy makers and regulators should consider the effects of serotype 6A-containing PCVs against serotype 6C disease in their decisions.PMID:38553292 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.03.065 (Source: Vaccine)
