Abstract Background HIV guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) screening by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for all postmenopausal women and men ≥50 years. Uptake of these recommendations has been low. This study describes DXA practices among people with (PWH) at highest risk low BMD. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review PWH aged ≥65 or older who were seen care the University Colorado within last year. First available most recent scans collected; FRAX score was...
Current guidelines recommend the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in treatment metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), especially patients with comorbid diabetes and obesity. This study investigated effects GLP-1RAs on hepatic steatosis fibrosis MASLD, as measured by changes vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) other clinical parameters a real-world setting.
Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is an infectious disease most common in resource-limited countries caused by the acid-fast bacilli Mycobacterium leprae and lepromatosis that frequently affects skin peripheral nerves. Prompt diagnosis treatment with multidrug therapy crucial to reduce transmission sequelae, which include nerve function impairment, ocular injury, stigmatizing physical deformities. Traditional of multibacillary leprosy consists 12–24 months dapsone, rifampin, clofazimine. However,...
Abstract Introduction Central sleep apnea (CSA) is characterized by repetitive disruptions in airflow during due to impaired central respiratory drive. Multiple studies have described an increased incidence of disordered breathing after lung transplantation. However, these implicate obstructive as the primary disturbance related post-transplant weight gain, neck circumference, and fluid retention from immunosuppressive therapy. We report uncommon presentation new onset severe predominant a...
Gonococcal septic arthritis is a rare condition that most frequently involves the interphalangeal joints of hands, wrists, knees, and ankles. We report case monoarticular gonococcal sternoclavicular joint in absence pharyngeal or genitourinary symptoms patient with history arthropathy intravenous drug use. This aims to describe clinical features management arthritis.
Abstract Malakoplakia is a rare chronic granulomatous disease that typically involves the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts of immunocompromised individuals. Characteristic histologic features include von Hansemann cells Michaelis–Gutmann bodies. Clinical manifestations, based on organ system effected, range from cutaneous lesions, irritative symptoms, hematochezia. We report example malakoplakia presenting as an abdominal mass with extensive intestinal pelvic involvement complicated by...
