Multiple intestinal atresia with combined immune deficiency is a severe autosomal recessive disorder caused by the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A () gene deficiency, which is characterized by extensive intestinal defects with immune deficiency. This report describes a fetus with deficiency who developed meconium peritonitis in utero. Evidence suggests that patients with deficiency present with intestinal defects as early as in utero. In this case, intestinal abnormalities were considered during the prenatal examination at week 28, and chromosome and genetic tests were performed. The results indicated that the fetus had a complex heterozygous mutation. The male infant underwent surgical treatment after birth and developed severe infection and sepsis, which confirmed the presence of multiple intestinal atresia with combined immune deficiency. Our case suggests an association between meconium peritonitis and the gene deficiency, indicating the possibility of severe intestinal defects and immune deficiencies after birth and guiding subsequent fetal treatment choices.

Background: Existing longitudinal cohort study data and associated biospecimen libraries provide abundant opportunities to efficiently examine new hypotheses through retrospective specimen testing. Outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) methods offer a powerful alternative to random sampling when testing all available specimens is not feasible or biospecimen preservation is desired. For repeated binary outcomes, a common ODS approach is to extend the case-control framework to the longitudinal setting.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

To examine how one's community connectedness may act as a source of resilience and promote HIV prevention and care behaviors among transgender women of color. We analyzed survey data from 313 transgender women of color living in New York City collected from August 2020 to November 2022. The Community Connectedness Scale asks participants about their baseline feelings of connection, feelings of inclusion, feelings of belonging, feelings of isolation, and feelings of being unlike in relation to the transgender community.

Objectives: Complement factor I (CFI) deficiency is a rare condition that can present with fulminant relapsing CNS autoinflammation. In this report, we highlight the utility of genetic testing in unexplained CNS autoinflammation.
Methods: This case report describes a young adult with partial CFI deficiency, presenting with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.

Objectives: to develop a middle-range theory for the nursing diagnosis "ineffective health self-management" in individuals living with the human immunodeficiency virus.
Methods: this is a methodological study aimed at theoretical development to establish the theoretical-causal validity of the nursing diagnosis "ineffective health self-management" based on the theoretical frameworks of Callista Roy and Lopes, Silva, and Herdman. We conducted a scoping review, resulting in a final sample of 31 articles.
