Background: Opioid dependence is common in HIV clinics. Buprenorphine–naloxone (BUP) an effective treatment of opioid that may be used routine medical settings. Objective: To compare clinic-based with BUP (clinic-based BUP) case management and referral to program (referred treatment). Design: Single-center, 12-month randomized trial. Participants investigators were aware assignments. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00130819) Setting: clinic Baltimore, Maryland. Patients: 93...
Objective: This is a retrospective study to add the existing body of clinical information regarding male sexual side effects associated with antidepressants. From chart review, thirty-four out eighty patients were identified have reported loss libido, erectile difficulty, anorgasmia, and delayed ejaculation while receiving pharmacotherapy selective serotonin reuptake blockers (fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline); tricyclic antidepressants (nortriptyline, imipramine, amitriptyline,...
Opioid dependence and HIV infection are associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Buprenorphine/naloxone (bup/nx) provided in care settings may improve HRQOL.We surveyed 289 HIV-infected opioid-dependent persons treated clinic-based bup/nx about HRQOL using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) administered at baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months. We used normalized SF-12 scores, which correspond to a mean 50 for general US population (SD 10, possible range 0-100). compared mental...
Abstract Background Food insecurity disproportionately affects people with HIV (PWH) and is associated increased transmission, interruptions in care, poor medication adherence. The intersection of depression, anxiety, substance use, food among PWH may further exacerbate adverse outcomes. This study assesses the association risk viral load (VL) non-suppression PWH, or at for comorbid mental health (MHD) use disorder (SUD), care. Methods care Johns Hopkins Bartlett Infectious Disease Clinic...
Abstract Background Mental health disorder (MHD) prevalence is high among people with HIV (PWH) and linked to poor outcomes, including non-suppression. Despite recommendations for routine mental screening in care settings, uptake remains low. The brief Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2 (GAD-2) are validated screeners depression anxiety symptoms potential integration into care. This study evaluates the accuracy of PHQ-2 GAD-2 detecting PWH co-occurring MHD...
After the advent of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on U.S. market in 1988, American psychiatrists have been faced with more choices antidepressants for treatment depression. The prescribing SSRIs has increasing popularity because they are easily titrated by physicians and tolerated patients. However, SSRI use is frequently associated female sexual dysfunction. aim this study was to describe these SSRI-associated side effects.In a retrospective series, clinic records 110 SSRI-treated...
Few medical schools require a stand-alone course to develop knowledge and skills relevant substance use disorders (SUDs). The authors successfully initiated new for second-year students that used screening, brief intervention, referral treatment (SBIRT) as the foundation. 15-hour (39 faculty teaching hours) arose from collaboration between in Departments of Medicine Psychiatry included 5 hours direct patient interaction during clinical demonstrations small-group development.

Introduction Patients with complex aortic anatomy require meticulous surgical planning to optimize intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. The GORE Excluder Conformable Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Endoprosthesis (CEXC Device, WL Gore Associates, Flagstaff, AZ) allows for endovascular treatment of highly angulated short proximal neck abdominal aneurysms (AAA). Owing its recent approval, short-term clinical outcomes this device remain scarce. Report In report, we present a case series 3...
Retrograde superior mesenteric artery stenting (ROMS) represents a significant development in the treatment of acute ischemia. Compared to traditional surgical bypass, ROMS is less invasive technique that avoids many complications associated with emergent bypass. This case report illustrates retrograde (SMA) an option for ischemia patients extremis.
To report our early experience with the endovascular placement of stacked Zenith main body extensions (cuffs) in treatment focal thoracic aortic pathology high-risk patients.Between January 2003 and May 2004, 6 patients (3 men; mean age 59 years, range 37-82) underwent repair using 30 32-mm-diameter extensions. The setting was a university tertiary referral center for vascular disease. Indication included 2 descending aneurysms individual cases traumatic tear, diverticulum Kommerell,...
