    Abstract Background: Utilization of low-dose oral minoxidil has increased in recent years in association with several clinical studies that have shown its efficacy in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA).  Objective: To assess dermatology providers' attitudes and recommendation behaviors of oral minoxidil for the treatment of AGA.
    Methods: An online survey gauging the professional opinions, prescribing behaviors, and use of oral minoxidil was sent using the Orlando Dermatology Aesthetic and Clinical Conference email listserv which included multiple levels of dermatology practitioners including MD/DOs, NPs, and PAs across the United States.
    Results: Overall, the survey was sent to 2200 providers, and 201 (9.1%) responses were collected. 81% (n=139) of respondents supported the use of oral minoxidil for AGA. Support varied significantly (P=.03) by providers' number of years in practice with those in practice for greater than 30 years with the least amount of support. 92% of respondents (130, n=141) reported feeling comfortable prescribing oral minoxidil, and 83% (116, n=140) found oral minoxidil to be better than its topical formulation. 78% (108, n=139) felt their patients were satisfied with their results, and 89% (124, n=140) felt oral minoxidil was well tolerated by their patients.
    Conclusions: This study found that most prescribers use oral minoxidil as a treatment for AGA and find it to be an effective and tolerable option for patients. Support for oral minoxidil was significantly impacted by providers' years in practice. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(3): doi:10.36849/JDD.7519.

    Abstract Policy Points Global health institutions and instruments should be reformed to fully incorporate the principles of good health governance: the right to health, equity, inclusive participation, transparency, accountability, and global solidarity. New legal instruments, like International Health Regulations amendments and the pandemic treaty, should be grounded in these principles of sound governance. Equity should be embedded into the prevention of, preparedness for, response to, and recovery from catastrophic health threats, within and across nations and sectors. This includes the extant model of charitable contributions for access to medical resources giving way to a new model that empowers low- and middle-income countries to create and produce their own diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics-such as through regional messenger RNA vaccine manufacturing hubs. Robust and sustainable funding of key institutions, national health systems, and civil society will ensure more effective and just responses to health emergencies, including the daily toll of avoidable death and disease disproportionately experienced by poorer and more marginalized populations.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency that can affect the health and life of mothers, infants, and families. Postpartum psychosis (PPP) is distinct from non-postpartum psychosis in many ways, and it is crucial to study and understand PPP to identify, treat, and possibly prevent this condition. We therefore sought to review the latest research findings about PPP with the intention of updating readers about the latest evidence base.
    Recent findings: Multiple physiologic pathways have been implicated in the development of PPP, and further understanding these pathways may allow for early detection and treatment. Risk assessment and treatment should include consideration of the woman patient but also the mother-infant dyad and the larger family. It is our hope that this review of research updates in postpartum psychosis may inform clinical practice and promote specialized, evidence-based diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment.

    Abstract Drugs of abuse are thought to promote addiction in part by "hijacking" brain reward systems, but the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. Using whole-brain FOS mapping and in vivo single-neuron calcium imaging, we found that drugs of abuse augment dopaminoceptive ensemble activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and disorganize overlapping ensemble responses to natural rewards in a cell type-specific manner. Combining FOS-Seq, CRISPR-perturbation, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we identified

    Abstract Objective: Relatively little is known about the safety and accuracy of catheter placement for oncolytic viral therapy in children with malignant brain tumors. Accordingly, this study combines data from two phase I clinical trials that employed viral immunotherapy across two institutions to describe the adverse event profile, safety, and accuracy associated with the stereotactic placement and subsequent removal of intratumoral catheters.
    Methods: Children with progressive/recurrent supratentorial malignant tumors were enrolled in two clinical trials (NCT03043391 and NCT02457845) and treated with either the recombinant polio:rhinovirus (lerapolturev) or the genetically modified oncolytic herpesvirus (G207). Age, sex, race, tumor diagnosis, and tumor location were analyzed. Events related to the catheter placement or removal were categorized. A catheter that was either pulled back or could not be used was defined as "misplaced." Neuronavigation software was used to analyze the accuracy of catheter placement for NCT03043391. Descriptive statistics were performed.
    Results: Nineteen patients were treated across the two completed trials with a total of 49 catheters. The mean ± SD (range) age was 14.1 ± 3.6 (7-19) years. All tumors were grade 3 or 4 gliomas. Nonlobar catheter tip placement included the corpus callosum, thalamus, insula, and cingulate gyrus. Six of 19 patients (31.6%) had minor hemorrhage noted on CT; however, no patients were symptomatic and/or required intervention related to these findings. One of 19 patients had a delayed CSF leak after catheter removal that required oversewing of the surgical site. No patients developed infection or a neurological deficit. In 7 patients with accuracy data, the mean ± SD distance of the planned trajectory (PT) to the catheter tip was 1.57 ± 1.6 mm, the mean angle of the PT to the catheter was 2.43° ± 2.1°, and the greatest distance of PT to the catheter in the parallel plane was 1.54 ± 1.5 mm. Three of 49 (6.1%) catheters were considered misplaced.
    Conclusions: Although instances of minor hemorrhage were encountered, they were clinically asymptomatic. One of 49 catheters required intervention for a CSF leak. Congruent with previous studies in the literature, the stereotactic placement of catheters in these pediatric tumor patients was accurate with approximately 95% of catheters having been adequately placed.

    Abstract In the face of elevated pandemic risk, canonical epidemiological models imply the need for extreme social distancing over a prolonged period. Alternatively, people could be organized into zones, with more interactions inside their zone than across zones. Zones can deliver significantly lower infection rates, with less social distancing, particularly if combined with simple quarantine rules and contact tracing. This paper provides a framework for understanding and evaluating the implications of zones, quarantines, and other complementary policies.
