    Abstract Background: High-deductible health plans (HDHPs) are becoming increasingly common, but their financial implications for enrollees with and without chronic conditions and the mitigating effects of health savings accounts (HSAs) are relatively unknown.
    Objective: Our aim was to compare financial hardship between non-HDHPs and HDHPs with and without HSAs, stratified by enrollees' number of chronic conditions.
    Design: We used data from 2015 to 2018 Medical Expenditure Panels Surveys (MEPS) to compare rates of financial hardship across individuals with HDHPs and non-HDHPs using linear and logistic regression models.
    Participants: A nationally representative sample of 30,981 adults aged 18-64 enrolled in HDHPs and non-HDHPs.
    Main measures: We examined several measures of financial hardship, including total yearly out-of-pocket medical spending as well as rates of delaying medical care or prescriptions in the past year due to cost, forgoing medical care or prescriptions in the past year due to cost, paying medical bills over time, or having problems paying medical bills. We compared rates using the non-HDHP as the control.
    Key results: On most measures, HDHPs are associated with greater financial hardship compared to non-HDHPs, including average annual out-of-pocket spending of $637 for non-HDHPs, $939 for HDHPs with HSAs, and $825 for HDHPs without HSAs (p < 0.01). However, for HDHP enrollees with multiple chronic conditions, having an HSA was associated with less financial hardship (p < 0.05).
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that HSAs may be most beneficial for those with chronic conditions, in part due to the tax benefits they offer as well as the fact that those with chronic conditions are more likely to take advantage of their HSAs than their younger, healthier counterparts. However, as HDHPs are more likely to be correlated with worse financial outcomes regardless of health status, recent trends of increasing participation may be a reason for concern.

    Abstract Background: Gabapentin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of neuropathic pain, restless leg syndrome, and partial-onset seizures. Although the most frequent side effects of gabapentin are associated with the central nervous system, gabapentin can also affect the cardiovascular system. Case reports and observational studies have showed that gabapentin can be associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation. However, all the evidence is concentrated in patients older than 65 years old with comorbidities that predispose them to the development of arrhythmias.
    Case presentation: We describe a case of an African American male in his 20s that presented to our chronic pain clinic with lumbar radiculitis and developed atrial fibrillation 4 days after being started on gabapentin. Laboratory workup did not show significant abnormalities, including normal complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, toxicology screen, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed a patent foramen ovale with right-to-left shunt. The patient was initially treated with diltiazem for heart rate control and apixaban. Direct current cardioversion with successful conversion to sinus rhythm was performed 24 hours after admission. The patient was then discharged on apixaban and diltiazem. Apixaban was changed to low-dose aspirin 1 month after discharge.
    Conclusion: With rapidly increasing usage of gabapentin for approved and off-label indications, it is important to identify unintended adverse effects of this drug as they are considered safe alternatives to opioids. New-onset atrial fibrillation could be induced by gabapentin in young individuals.

    Abstract Background: In the USA, one in five adults live with a mental illness, and researchers have estimated that nearly half of the population will have a mental illness over the course of their lifetime. Research has shown significant associations between social relationships and mental health outcomes at the individual and population levels. This study aims to examine whether sense of community, a type of social capital, is associated with mental health.
    Methods: In a cross-sectional analysis, multiple logistic regression models were used to examine whether sense of community was associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress reported over the last week. The analysis used data from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin collected between 2014 and 2016. A total of 1647 observations are included in the analyses.
    Results: Compared with those who report a positive sense of community, those with a negative sense of community had a significantly higher odds of reporting depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. Socioeconomic status is negatively associated with depression and anxiety, but not with stress. Women were more likely to experience moderate, severe, or extremely severe anxiety and stress, compared with men.
    Conclusion: This study extends current understanding of health benefits of social capital and found that individuals' sense of community is associated with reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Further research examining mechanisms to support improved sense of community and other types of social capital could benefit health equity research.

    Abstract Introduction: Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) attacks show an increased frequency and severity for pregnant and lactating females secondary to the hormonal changes. The diagnosis and management of HAE in pregnant and lactating females pose a challenge for physicians due to the rarity of the disease and the paucity of the data for specific management.
    Areas covered: In this manuscript, we discuss the diagnosis and special presentation of HAE types 1 and 2 in pregnant and lactating females, including acute management, short-term prophylaxis, long-term prophylaxis, and drugs that should be avoided. Relevant publications were found through key word search of papers indexed in both Google Scholar and PubMed on 1 July 2022.
    Expert opinion: Treatment of HAE in the past has been mainly provided by experts; however, with more medications and an increasing number of patients, knowledge of how to care for HAE patients during pregnancy and lactation is important to review. Despite approval of additional medications in many countries, plasma-derived C1-inhibitor remains the drug of first choice for treatment in this unique population. Additional research is needed to increase safe access to other therapy options. We hope that future clinical studies, registries, and databases will shed additional light on this subject.
