CONCLUSION: People newly diagnosed with cancer experience impaired participation, but they are infrequently referred to supportive services such as rehabilitation. The use of PROs to assess participation, physical function, and mental health can promote access to supportive care services by identifying patients who may benefit from rehabilitation beyond those identified through routine clinical care.

Examining the Relationship Between HIV-Related Stigma and the Health and Wellbeing of Children and Adolescents Living with HIV: A Systematic Review by Abbie Robinson
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects millions of people globally. The associated stigma remains a challenge for individuals living with HIV and children and adolescents face the additional challenge of withstanding the peer, pubertal and identity challenges associated with growing up. The current systematic review aimed to define and explore the major stigma-related challenges of children…
Psychological and physical function in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant survivors with chronic graft-versus-host disease by Jenna L Hansen
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Results suggest that patients with more severe cGVHD and those with cGVHD manifesting in the skin, GI tract, and lungs are at risk for poorer psychological and physical outcomes and may benefit from proactive interventions to optimize function.
Pulsed Focused Ultrasound Reduces Hippocampal Volume Loss and Improves Behavioral Performance in the Kainic Acid Rat Model of Epilepsy by Po-Chun Chu
Focused ultrasound (FUS) has the potential to modulate regional brain excitability and possibly aid seizure control; however, effects on behavior of FUS used as a seizure therapy are unknown. This study explores behavioral effects and hippocampal restoration induced by pulsed FUS in a kainic acid (KA) animal model of temporal lobe epilepsy. Twenty-nine male Sprague-Dawley…
How food support improves mental health among people living with HIV: A qualitative study by Koharu Loulou Chayama
CONCLUSIONS: Medically appropriate food support may improve mental health for some PLHIV. Further work is needed to understand and prevent possible adverse consequences on mental health after programs end.
Design and implementation of a global site assessment survey among HIV clinics participating in the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) research consortium by Ellen Brazier
CONCLUSION: IeDEA’s approach for site survey development has broad relevance for HIV research networks and other priority health conditions.
Parent-led massage and sleep EEG for term-born infants: A randomized controlled parallel-group study by Soraia Ventura
AIM: To examine the impact of parent-led massage on the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) features of typically developing term-born infants at 4 months.
Disseminated mucormycosis in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a case report and autopsy findings by Javier A Teco-Cortés
CONCLUSIONS: Hematological neoplastic diseases and their treatment are important risk factors for developing infections by opportunistic microorganisms such as mucormycosis. Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential due to their intrinsic difficulty and the high mortality rate of these cases.
Hyperferritinemic sepsis secondary to invasive Toxoplasma gondii in a child with untreated HIV by Jesús Domínguez-Rojas
CONCLUSIONS: The global approach to sepsis with elevated ferritin guides to using of therapies aimed at neutralizing the severe inflammatory response. A timely diagnosis would allow prompt treatment and minimize complications.

The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia – A systematic review of its psychometric properties in people with musculoskeletal pain by Dupuis Frederique
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this systematic review were to identify the different versions of the TSK and to report on the psychometric evidence relating to these different versions for people suffering from musculoskeletal pain.
Anionic Regulation toward Bi3+ Selective Occupation for Full-Spectrum White Light Emission by Sheng Wu
An activator’s selective occupation of a host is of great significance for designing high-quality white light-emitting diode phosphors, while achieving a full-spectrum single-phase white light emission phosphor is challenging. In this study, a boron phosphate solid-solution Na(2)Y(2)(BO(3))(2-x)(PO(4))(x)O:0.005 Bi^(3+) (NYB(2-x)P(x)O:0.005 Bi^(3+)) white phosphor was designed by selectively occupying Bi^(3+) activators in the mixed anionic groups. The…
