Article Abstract
Background: Exposure to trauma and potentially morally injurious events may lead to moral injury (MI). The link between MI and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may have particularly relevant implications for treatment-resistant PTSD (TR-PTSD). Multi-modal Motion-Assisted Memory Desensitization and Reconsolidation (3MDR), a technology-assisted exposure-based trauma therapy that has been used in the treatment of PTSD, may also be an acceptable modality for patients in the treatment of TR-PTSD and MI. This proof-of-concept study aimed to investigate (1) whether MI co-occurs in military members (MMs) and veterans with TR-PTSD, and (2) the perspectives of MMs and veterans with TR-PTSD utilizing 3MDR for MI.
Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods clinical trial. Military Members and veterans participated in this study (N = 11) through self-reported questionnaires, video recordings of treatment sessions, and semi-structured interviews post-session and post-intervention, with longitudinal follow-up to 6 months.
Results: MI scores correlated with self-reported measures of mental health symptoms related to PTSD. The thematic analysis revealed three emergent themes: (1) Realities of War, (2) Wrestling Scruples, and (3) Moral Sensemaking.
Conclusion: MI was highly correlated with TR-PTSD and themes regarding MI. This result, while preliminary, allows for the postulation that MI may be contributing to the continuation of PTSD symptoms in TR-PTSD, and that 3MDR may be an acceptable modality for addressing these symptoms in MMs and veterans.

Demographic Disparities in the Incidence of Moyamoya Angiopathy in the United States.
Neurology
September 2025
Department of Neurology, State University of New York Upstate Medical University, Syracuse.
Background And Objectives: There is paucity of data on the population-level incidence of moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) in the United States. The aim of this study was to estimate sex-specific, age-specific, and race-specific incidence of MMA in the United States over the period 2011-2020.
Methods: We used the State Ambulatory Surgery, Emergency, and Inpatient Databases of Florida (2005-2020), Georgia (2010-2020), Maryland (2012-2020), and New York (2005-2020) to conduct a retrospective study.
Mitigation of image distortion during mechanical testing within a dynamic stereo x-ray system.

Background: Dynamic stereo x-ray (DSX) permits skin strain quantification with high accuracy. Validation of image-derived strain can be performed via mechanical testing inside a DSX capture volume while simultaneously comparing strain measurements. However, electromagnetic mechanical testing systems (eMTSs) emit magnetic fields that affect DSX image formation components and cause image distortion.

Unlabelled: Implementing a lung cancer screening (LCS) program with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is complex, requiring health care organizations to consider several steps along the screening continuum from eligibility assessment to recommended follow-up testing adherence. The evidence to support LDCT screening implementation remains unclear. To summarize interventions facilitating LCS initiation, adoption, or improvement within health care organizations.

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)

Elite Dermatology, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: Hypertension is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Evidence in other surgical fields has suggested that high blood pressure increases the risk of perioperative bleeding, predisposing patients to complications such as hematomas, dehiscence, wound infection, and necrosis.
Methods: We reviewed medical charts of all 530 patients who underwent MMS at our institution in one calendar year to identify whether an association exists between preoperative blood pressure and bleeding outcomes in patients undergoing MMS.
Primary Care Provider Preferences Regarding Artificial Intelligence in Point-of-Care Cancer Screening.
MDM Policy Pract

Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Unlabelled: It is unclear how to optimize the user interface and user experience of cancer screening artificial intelligence (AI) tools for clinical decision-making in primary care. We developed an electronic survey for US primary care clinicians to assess 1) general attitudes toward AI in cancer screening and 2) preferences for various aspects of AI model deployment in the context of colorectal, breast, and lung cancer screening. We descriptively analyzed the responses.
