Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine whether dyadic coping (DC) is associated with relationship satisfaction (RS) among couples facing cardiac diseases. Furthermore, the moderating role of both partners' anxiety and depression was tested.
Methods: One hundred cardiac patients (81.5% men) and their partners (81.5% women) completed a self-report questionnaire during hospitalization. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and moderation analyses were used to assess the above associations.
Results: Results showed that positive DC was significantly related to higher levels of RS, and negative DC was related to lower levels of RS. Furthermore, patient and partner psychological distress significantly moderated the link between DC and RS: patient-perceived positive DC was associated with higher partner RS when partner depression was high; partner-perceived positive DC was associated with higher patient RS when patient anxiety was low; patient-perceived negative DC has associated with lower patient RS when patient anxiety and depression were high.
Conclusion: This study showed that positive DC is associated with a more satisfying relationship and identified under what conditions of cardiac-related distress this can happen. Furthermore, this study underlined the importance of examining DC in addition to the individual coping skills as a process pertaining to personal well-being and couple's outcomes.

Background: Delayed discharge among older patients presents a major challenge for the efficiency of health service delivery. Prolonged hospitalizations limit bed turnover, increase costs, and reduce the availability of hospital resources. In Japan, older adults must undergo a formal care needs certification process to access public long-term care (LTC) services.

Background And Objectives: Neuroimaging findings in immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) have not been systematically described. We created the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell Neurotoxicity Imaging Virtual Archive Library (CARNIVAL), a centralized imaging database for children and young adults receiving CAR T-cell therapy. Objectives of this study were to (1) characterize neuroimaging findings associated with ICANS and (2) determine whether specific ICANS-related neuroimaging findings are associated with individual neurologic symptoms.

Background And Objectives: α-Synuclein seed amplification assays (αSAAs) can improve the diagnosis of synucleinopathies and detect α-synuclein (αSyn) copathology in vivo in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of αSAA for detecting αSyn in CSF for diagnosing dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) in a clinical cohort of cognitively impaired individuals. We explored how the coexistence of Alzheimer disease (AD) and αSyn pathology influences biomarker levels and clinical profiles.

Purpose: To evaluate visual outcomes after bacterial keratitis (BK) and identify predictive factors for poor prognosis at a tertiary referral center in Southern California.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional retrospective review of patients' medical records with culture-positive BK at University of California Los Angeles from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019. Main outcome measure was change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 12 weeks posttreatment.
Extracellular Matrix and Fibroblast Activation in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare lung disease caused by hyperactivation of the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin 1 (mTORC1) growth pathway in a subset of mesenchymal lung cells. Histopathologically, LAM lesions have been described as immature smooth muscle-like cells positive for the immature melanocytic marker HMB45/PMEL/gp100 and phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (pS6). Advances in single cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology allowed us to group LAM cells according to their expression of cancer stem cell (CSC) genes and identify three clusters: a high CSC-like state (SLS), an intermediate state, and a low CSC-like inflammatory state (IS).
