A significant number of injury survivors experience post-traumatic stress disorder, and better screening practices could help connect them to mental health services.

Deaths caused by alcohol increasing

Alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. are on the rise, a new study reports.

For decades, government, health systems, universities, foundations, exceptional individuals, and thought leaders across North Carolina have been testing, implementing, modifying, and just plain trying new ways of improving the way we seek, receive, and experience health care.

More recently, North Carolina has been striving to not simply address the cost, efficiency, and value that are so frustratingly elusive in health care, but also recognizing that we simply need to improve the health of our residents. We have looked to interventions both compatible with and beyond health care to do this.

The National Academy of Medicine, formerly the National Institute of Medicine, since 2016 has boldly laid out Vital Directions in Health Care, focusing on 19 priority issues and recommendations for health policy to better achieve health and well-being for all Americans. They have taken their show on the road, beyond the halls of Congress and think tanks and universities to the people on the ground in states across the country to present, discuss, listen, and learn how policy recommendations come to life.

This issue of the journal highlights the National Academy of Medicine bringing its spotlight to North Carolina last November, an acknowledgment that states are often where policy is put into action, and that North Carolina has been a leader in innovating, planning, implementing, and evaluating again and again to get better and better results for our residents. Pull your chair up to the edge of the stage for a good read in the glow of the spotlight.

With high sensitivity in detecting acute brain events such as seizures, FDG PET can be used as an important tool for neurocutaneous melanosis disease monitoring.

Infection with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may remain asymptomatic, leading to under-recognition of the related disease, coronavirus disease, 2019 (COVID-19), and to incidental findings in nuclear imaging procedures performed for standard clinical indications. Here, we report about our local experience in a region with high COVID-19 prevalence and dynamically increasing infection rates. Methods: Within the 8-d period of March 16–24, 2020, hybrid imaging studies of asymptomatic patients who underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT or ¹³¹I SPECT/CT for standard oncologic indications at our institution in Brescia, Italy, were analyzed for findings suggestive of COVID-19. The presence, radiologic features, and metabolic activity of interstitial pneumonia were identified, correlated with the subsequent short-term clinical course, and described in a case series. Results: Six of 65 patients (9%) who underwent PET/CT for various malignancies showed unexpected signs of interstitial pneumonia on CT and elevated regional ¹⁸F-FDG avidity. Additionally, 1 of 12 patients who received radioiodine for differentiated thyroid carcinoma also showed interstitial pneumonia on SPECT/CT. Five of 7 patients had subsequent proof of COVID-19 by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The remaining 2 patients were not tested immediately but underwent quarantine and careful monitoring. Conclusion: Incidental findings suggestive of COVID-19 may not be infrequent in hybrid imaging of asymptomatic patients in regions with an expansive spread of SARS-CoV-2. Nuclear medicine services should prepare accordingly.

Background:

The negative effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on physical and mental health has led to calls for routine screening for ACEs in primary care settings. We aimed to examine the association between maternal ACEs and children’s behaviour problems (externalizing and internalizing) at age 5 in the context of other known predictors.

Since 2018, the FDA has required that U.S. clinical trial results be reported to clinicaltrials.gov within a year of trial completion, but this mandate is often ignored. A recent study found that less than half of U.S. trials submitted results to the site by the deadline. Industry-led trials were the most likely to be reported on time.

In a home buying process, it can be easy to make missteps or to get caught up in small details that really don’t make much difference. These are four of the most common mistakes you should avoid to hunt your dream home.

Costly rentals, hefty mortgage payments and the rising expenses on monthly bills are convincing more and more people to let their rooms in flatshares and find flatmates to foot the bill.

Every seller wants his homes to be sold smoothly and quickly with the highest possible price. However, there are still houses which have been listed on the market for months without any potential buyer because the sellers make one, or maybe more, of the following popular mistakes:
