<h3>Objectives</h3> To explore the experiences and views of men who have sex with (MSM) on attending clinical sexual health services their preferences regarding service characteristics in context disproportionate burden STIs experienced by this group. The wider study aim was to develop a risk assessment tool for use clinics. <h3>Methods</h3> Qualitative comprising eight focus group discussions 61 MSM four English cities. Topics included: experience services, perceptions norms attendance...
Background: Positive distraction involves distracting oneself from a stressor by thinking about or engaging in activities that induce positive emotion. We hypothesized although it is disengagement coping strategy, which have been historically viewed as maladaptive (e.g., avoidance), can be an adaptive version predicts outcomes.Design: To test this hypothesis, we developed scale to measure and neutral (distracting daily activities) response chronic stressors 3 samples (MTurk1, N = 206;...
Caregivers of children with chronic illnesses experience elevated stress and reduced self-care. Although self-care can be beneficial, it is a form disengagement coping, disengaging from the stressor to try feel better, which has been characterized as maladaptive coping strategy. In this study, we test formulation that avoidance, avoiding any thoughts related it, strategy, whereas distraction, taking break do something pleasant, an adaptive We assessed these strategies well psychosocial...
Emotion theorists have long held that a fundamental characteristic of an emotion is how its constituent processes change and interact over time. Assessing these temporal dynamics in the brain critical for understanding neural representation emotions as well advancing theories emotional processing. We review neuroimaging research on three dynamic features emotion: time onset, duration, resurgence show assessing led to improved structure function such revealing which appraisals come first,...
Assessing emotional dynamics in the brain offers insight into fundamental neural and psychological mechanisms underlying emotion. One such dynamic is inertia-the influence of one's state at one time point on a subsequent point. Emotion inertia reflects rigidity poor emotion regulation as evidenced by its relationship to depression neuroticism. In this study, we assessed changes cerebral blood flow (CBF) from before after an task used these predict stress, positive negative daily life events....
Background: Patellar height (PH) constitutes an important component of patellofemoral biomechanics. Iatrogenic decrease in PH after knee procedures has been demonstrated for arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy, among others. However, alterations resulting from tubercle osteotomy (TTO) have yet to be described. Purpose/Hypothesis: This study aimed compare pre- postoperative ratios patellar tendon length (PL) adult patients who received anteromedialization or medialization TTO. The authors...
The medical community is beginning to recognize the contribution of prescription opioids in growing national opioid crisis. Many studies have compared safety and efficacy alternative analgesics opioids, but none utilizing a completely opioid-free perioperative protocol orthopedics.We developed tested an analgesic pathway (from preoperative postoperative period) among patients undergoing common elective orthopedic procedures. Patients will be randomized receive either traditional...
BackgroundNo objective radiographic scoring system exists to classify metaphyseal cone stability. Our purpose was create a novel, systematic method radiographically evaluate fixation based on findings suggestive of stability.MethodsA retrospective analysis conducted revision total knee arthroplasty patients (6/2015-12/2017) using porous titanium femoral or tibial cones in conjunction with short cemented stems (50 mm-75 mm). Minimum follow-up 2 years. Survivorship free aseptic loosening and...
Objective: Patellar height changes after tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) have not yet been described. We aimed to evaluate whether TTO ± medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) influences patellar and tendon length, hypothesizing that would decrease length. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of skeletally mature adolescents (<18 y) receiving primary anteromedialization or medialization MPFL-R. Patients with at least 6 months radiographic follow-up were included...
