    Abstract HIV-related stigma is a primary barrier to seeking HIV care. Online social media interventions utilizing peer-led approaches provide an opportunity to revolutionize HIV health behavior change. Secondary analysis of the UCLA HOPE Study (6 waves) was done to examine the effectiveness of an online peer-led intervention in reducing HIV-related internalized stigma (IS), association between IS and sexual risk behaviors (SRB), and associated costs for changing the likelihood of HIV testing. Among 897 participants, an inverse relationship between IS (Discomfort with people with HIV, Stereotypes, Moral Judgment) and SRB (Number of Sexual Partners, Sexual Encounters) factors was identified over time (

    Abstract Summary of background data: Iatrogenic injury of the vertebral artery (VA) in the context of surgical approaches to the cervical spine has been cited as a relatively rare complication with varying degrees of severity ranging from minimal injury to acute stroke and can result in death. It is estimated that ~50% of cases of iatrogenic VA injury are preventable after postoperatively examining a patient's preoperative imaging. Despite the low incidence (<2%) of this complication, the potential associated morbidity demonstrates the importance of meticulous preoperative vascular consideration.
    Objective: This study aims to emphasize the importance of preoperative vascular screening during anterior cervical access planning visualized through a rare case of a VA aberration in a 47-year-old patient.
    Study design: This study is designed as a retrospective case report.
    Methods: A thorough chart review was performed for this subject including all prior medical records, imaging studies, imaging reports, operative notes, and communication records.
    Results: The subject was found to have a history of patent foramen ovale (PFO) repair with a rare vertebral artery malformation described as a medial transposition of the vertebral artery out of the vertebral artery foramen between C3 and C4.
    Conclusions: Consideration of cervical anatomy, particularly the VA, is key to minimizing the risk of adverse surgical outcomes in both anterior and posterior approaches to the cervical spine. During the workup process, the patient's primary care providers, radiologists, and surgeons should be aware of the potential variations of the VA with particular attention given to the course of the VA on MR imaging.
    Level of evidence: Level IV.

    Abstract Citizen science is increasingly recognised as a useful approach to contribute to biodiversity awareness while generating data and creating meaningful interactions among citizens and professional scientists. In a number of countries, academic institutions have led the way in developing ladybird projects, incorporating citizen science, to increase distributional data on the species, as well as a greater understanding of ladybird ecology. The current research evaluates the role of citizen science campaigns in collecting biological distributional data in Ireland, using ladybirds as a case example, examining if citizen science records and the use of photographs can provide a valuable insight into our understanding of ladybird ecology. From April 2020 to June 2021, a citizen science programme engaged with the wider public, via social media networks to increase the number of ladybird records and assist in establishing national data baselines, since ladybird rcording is a relatively new phenomenon in Ireland. This case study finds that citizen science projects using social media can increase the number of records of ladybirds and provide useful information on species distribution patterns. There were a disproportionate number of records from areas of high human population, resulting in a bias towards urban centres. Photographs submitted by members of the public provided a limited amount of information on food plants but indicated that ladybirds are valued as a species of interest to the public. These images can also help to increase records of the less common species, especially as members of the public may not be able to easily distinguish between different species of ladybirds.

    Abstract Development of OA (OA) is multifactorial and is strongly associated with risk factors such as aging, trauma, metabolic disorders, and obesity. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS)-associated OA, collectively coined MetS-OA, is an increasingly recognized entity in which metabolic disorders and low-grade inflammation play a key mechanistic role in the disruption of joint homeostasis and cartilage degradation. Although there have been enormous efforts to discover biomarkers of MetS and OA, studies investigating a pathophysiological link between MetS and OA are relatively limited, and no serum blood marker has proved diagnostic so far. OA biomarkers that are necessary to discriminate and diagnose early disease remain to be elicited, explained in part by limited prospective studies, and therefore limited tools available to utilize in any prognostic capacity. Biomarker validation projects have been established by the Biomarker Consortium to determine biochemical markers demonstrating predictive validity for knee OA. Given that the metabolic constituents of MetS are treatable to varying extents, it stands to reason that treating these, and monitoring such treatment, may help to mitigate deleterious links with OA development. This narrative review will describe the current state of biomarker identification and utility in OA associated with MetS. We discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms of disease according to constituent pathologies of MetS and how identification of biomarkers may guide future investigation of novel targets.

    Abstract Cardiac arrest is a catastrophic event with high morbidity and mortality. Despite advances over time in cardiac arrest management and postresuscitation care, the neurologic consequences of cardiac arrest are frequently devastating to patients and their families. Targeted temperature management is an intervention aimed at limiting postanoxic injury and improving neurologic outcomes following cardiac arrest. Recovery of neurologic function governs long-term outcome after cardiac arrest and prognosticating on the potential for recovery is a heavy burden for physicians. An early and accurate estimate of the potential for recovery can establish realistic expectations and avoid futile care in those destined for a poor outcome. This chapter reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutic interventions, prognostication, and neurologic sequelae of cardiac arrest.

    Abstract Rationale & objective: A high level of cooperation between organ procurement organizations and transplant programs may help maximize use of deceased donor kidneys. The practices that are essential for a high functioning organ donation and transplant system remain uncertain. We sought to report metrics of organ donation and transplant performance in British Columbia, Canada, and to assess the association of specific policies and practices that contribute to the system's performance.
    Study design: A retrospective observational study.
    Setting & participants: Referred deceased organ donors in British Columbia were used in the study from January 1, 2016, to December 31 2019.
    Exposures: Provincial, organ procurement organization, and center level policies were implemented to improve donor referral and organ utilization.
    Outcomes: Assessment of donor and kidney utilization along steps of the critical pathway for organ donation.
    Analytical approach: Deceased donors were classified according to the critical pathway for organ donation and key donation and transplant metrics were identified.
    Results: There were 1,948 possible donors referred. Of 1,948, 754 (39%) were potential donors. Of 754 potential donors, 587 (78%) were consented donors. Of 587 consented donors, 480 (82%) were eligible kidney donors. Of 480 eligible kidney donors, 438 (91%) were actual kidney donors. And of 438 actual kidney donors, 432 (99%) were utilized kidney donors. One-year all-cause allograft survival was 95%. Practices implemented to improve the system's performance included hospital donor coordinators, early communication between the organ procurement organization and transplant nephrologists, dedicated organ recovery and implant surgeons, aged-based kidney allocation, and hospital admission of recipients before kidney recovery.
    Limitations: Assignment of causality between individual policies and practices and organ donation and utilization is limited in this observational study.
    Conclusions: In British Columbia, consent for donation, utilization of donated kidneys, and transplant survival are exceptionally high, suggesting the importance of an integrated deceased donor and kidney transplant service.
