Overlooked potential: older-age parents in the era of ART.

The advent of widespread ART provision in low- and middle-income countries requires not just medical attention, but also social and psychological support to encourage and monitor strict adherence to drug regimens. Developing innovative approaches to providing this broad support is a major challenge, especially within the financial constraints of resource-limited countries hardest hit by the epidemic. In this study, we examine the role of older-age parents in monitoring ART treatment and caring for their HIV-infected children and grandchildren in Cambodia. Our results are based on 25 open-ended

The Proposed U.S. Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance Revisions: Implications for Scientific Integrity and HIV Research.

Federal investment in HIV research has transformed HIV from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition through advances in prevention, treatment, implementation, and care. On May 29, 2026, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget proposed revisions to the Uniform Guidance governing federal financial assistance that could influence how federally funded HIV research is reviewed, awarded, and sustained. This commentary examines the proposed revisions from the perspective of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC), emphasizing the importance of scientific integrity, independent peer

Taking the Assault on Health Equity Personally.

The author feels himself to be an anomaly-both a full professor at age 38 at a nationally ranked medical center and a Black man from Baltimore with dreadlocks. He considered leaving academic medicine given the political changes occurring in the United States. The National Institutes of Health are terminating funded grants focused on health equity, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are rolling back effective public health strategies specifically designed to mitigate health disparities. His main impetus for entering academic medicine-advancing health equity-as well as his identi

Medical Malpractice Litigation in Orthopaedic Surgery in the United States: Risk Factors, Outcomes, and Strategies for Navigating Lawsuits, Prevention, and Reform.

➢ Medical malpractice litigation in orthopaedic surgery remains a major challenge, as the field consistently ranks among the most frequently litigated specialties. Malpractice claims in orthopaedics often involve surgical errors, misdiagnoses, delayed treatment, and inadequate postoperative care, with substantial financial and emotional consequences for health-care providers.➢ Malpractice risk varies by orthopaedic subspecialty, with adult reconstruction and spine surgeons facing the highest litigation rates, often due to nerve injuries, delayed or missed diagnoses, or postoperative complicati

Blunt pancreatic trauma: A Western Trauma Association critical decisions algorithm.

BACKGROUND: The Western Trauma Association (WTA) has undertaken publication of best practice clinical practice guidelines on multiple trauma topics. These guidelines are based on scientific evidence, case reports, and best practices per expert opinion. Some of the topics covered by this consensus group do not have the ability to have randomized controlled studies completed because of complexity, ethical issues, financial considerations, or scarcity of experience and cases. Blunt pancreatic trauma falls under one of these clinically complex and rare scenarios. This algorithm is the result of an

The Facilitators and Barriers Faced When Transitioning Back into the Community Following a Prison Sentence.

This qualitative study explored ex-offender's community reintegration experiences following a prison sentence. Fourteen ex-offenders from the Offender Alumni Association participated in an in-person in-depth individual interview regarding their current roles, daily routines, living situation, activity participation, and current and future plans. A phenomenological approach using thematic analysis was employed for data collection and interpretation. The emerged themes were categorized under facilitators and barriers that influence healthy community reintegration. The facilitators included visua

Hepatic veno-occlusive disease related to Gynura segetum: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD), as known as hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS), is an obliterative venulitis of the terminal hepatic venules, which is responsible for considerable mortality. The potential mechanism is destruction of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (SEC), with sloughing and downstream occlusion of terminal hepatic venules. Here, we report a case of HVOD who have a history of ingestion of Gynura segetum for 1 month. The patient presents for abdominal pain and distension. He was diagnosed for HVOD using computerized tomography (CT) and ultras

Pathological classification of equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy.

Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) is a highly prevalent and predominantly left-sided, degenerative disorder of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLn) of tall horses, that causes inspiratory stridor at exercise because of intrinsic laryngeal muscle paresis. The associated laryngeal dysfunction and exercise intolerance in athletic horses commonly leads to surgical intervention, retirement or euthanasia with associated financial and welfare implications. Despite speculation, there is a lack of consensus and conflicting evidence supporting the primary classification of RLN, as either a distal ("d

A 15-year-old Nepali boy with metastasised colorectal cancer.

Nepal suffers from vast inequalities in modern healthcare. The low-income country wrestles with far-reaching insufficiencies in minimal preventative medicine, health awareness, limited infrastructure and difficult topography-all of which contribute to poor access and poor care-seeking behaviour. Our patient came from rural Nepal, where primary healthcare outposts are frequently understaffed and underequipped. He received supportive treatment in his village from the time symptoms presented until he was diagnosed 2 years later, at a tertiary medical centre, with colorectal cancer. An examination

International Telepathology: Promises and Pitfalls.

Innovative technologies for digital imaging and telecommunications are changing the way we deliver health care. Telepathology collaborations are one example of how delivering remote pathology services to patients can benefit from leveraging this change. Over the years, several academic and commercial teleconsultation networks have been established. Herein, we review the landscape of these international telepathology efforts and highlight key supportive factors and potential barriers to successful cross-border collaborations. Important features of successful international telepathology programs
