Article Abstract
Although therapeutic community (TC) treatment is a promising intervention for substance use disorders, a primary obstacle to successful treatment is premature attrition. Because of their prevalence within substance use treatment facilities, personality disorder (PD) diagnoses have been examined as predictors of treatment completion. Prior research on TC outcomes has focused almost exclusively on antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and the results have been mixed. This study extends previous research by examining the impact of the 10 Axis II PDs on early (first 30 days) attrition as well as overall time to dropout in a 9-month residential TC. Survival analyses indicated that borderline was the only PD negatively related to overall program retention. In contrast, ASPD, as well as histrionic PD, were related to very early attrition, but not to overall program retention. Early assessment and identification of at-risk individuals may improve treatment retention and outcome for TC treatment.

Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Two recent Phase 3 trials demonstrated the efficacy of gepotidacin compared with nitrofurantoin to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) in females. Pretreatment urine specimens were obtained from all participants. Based on pooled trial data (treatment groups combined), central laboratory culture results identified 1,421 (45%) participants with ≥1 baseline qualifying (≥10 CFU/mL) uropathogen (i.

The complexity of schizophrenia, particularly in cases resistant to traditional pharmacological treatments, poses significant challenges for clinicians and researchers. This systematic review synthesizes existing evidence on the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation in treating treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Utilizing the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted in March 2025 using the "Connected Papers" tool and other sources such as Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Scopus, focusing on studies related to "deep brain stimulation," "treatment-resistant schizophrenia," and "refractory schizophrenia.

Objective: The underrepresentation of women in thoracic surgery has been well described worldwide. Women can serve as role models for trainees and advance their careers through academic appointments, leadership positions, and involvement in thoracic societies. We aimed to characterize differences between representation of women in thoracic surgery in the United States and Europe.
