Article Abstract

This study describes the alcohol environment comparing residents' perceptions and objective measures in two different income-level districts. Measures were gathered between 2017 and 2018 in two districts with different income levels in Madrid, Spain. We obtained perceived measures using Photovoice. We procured objective measures through social systematic observation. Data were integrated using triangulation. Perceived and objective measures of the alcohol environment were characterized and compared in terms of alcohol availability, alcohol promotion, and signs of alcohol consumption. The integration was classified as agreement, partial agreement, or dissonance. The results related to alcohol availability and signs of its consumption showed high agreement. Availability was high in both areas, which was recognized by residents. Residents of the high-income district (HID) discussed fewer signs of alcohol consumption, whilst those in the low-income district (LID) reported extensive signs of consumption. Such observations agreed with the objective measures. There were dissonances between the approaches for alcohol promotion. Although the alcohol promotion was higher in HID according to the objective measures, it was deeply discussed by LID residents. Both methodologies helped us deepen the understanding of the alcohol environment. These results may help design more effective interventions to prevent hazardous drinking.

Background: The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a widely used tool for assessing pain severity and interference, aligning with the bio-psycho-social model. It has been validated in various languages for patients with persistent spinal pain. However, the Minimal Important Change (MIC), which represents the smallest change perceived as meaningful by patients, has not yet been explored for this patient population.

While knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in the United States, OA within the patellofemoral joint is understudied compared to the tibiofemoral joint. Mechanical alterations to cartilage may be among the first changes indicative of early OA. MR-based protocols have probed patellar cartilage mechanical function by measuring deformations in response to exercise.

Purpose: To explored key angiographic markers associated with headache risk in patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs).

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with unruptured, supratentorial BAVMs without prior interventions who underwent digital subtraction angiography between January 2011 and January 2024. The patients were stratified into headache and nonheadache groups on the basis of symptoms at initial presentation.

Rationale/objectives: Image-based vascular biomarkers may help expedite evaluation of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which remains difficult to diagnose despite available effective therapies. We sought to determine if vascular heterogeneity and central redistribution on chest CT differed between CTEPH, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and control groups.

Materials/methods: We retrospectively included 108 patients who underwent right heart catheterization and chest CT (2011-2018).
