Traumatic brain injury categories should be updated and personalized to better guide patient care, says new report
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine
The labels of “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” to classify traumatic brain injury are outdated, imprecise, and do not effectively serve patients, clinicians, or payers, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The report recommends the creation of an updated TBI classification system to better guide patient care and inform research across the phases of TBI injury and rehabilitation.

Suicides by drug overdose increased among young people, elderly people, and Black women, despite overall downward trend
National Institutes of Health via Medical Xpress
A new study of intentional drug overdose deaths, or suicides by an overdose of a medication or drug, found an overall decline in recent years in the United States, but an increase in young people aged 15-24, older people aged 75-84, and non-Hispanic Black women. The study also found that women were consistently more likely than men to die from intentional drug overdoses, with the highest rates observed in women ages 45 to 64. In addition, factors such as time of year, length of day, and day of the week appeared to be associated with intentional overdose death rates. The study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry and was led by investigators at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health.

Some people in a cheering crowd called for her to be raped. Many were women
CNN
Her hair was cut off and her face painted black before she was paraded into the street where some people in a cheering crowd called for her to be raped.
But perhaps the most shocking aspect of the attack in a Delhi neighborhood last month is that video shared on social media shows that most of the baying mob were women.
At least 12 people have been arrested by the Delhi police, eight of whom are women. Two are minors. Police have not brought charges over the incident, but they say the 20-year-old victim of the January 26 attack was abducted and physically and sexually assaulted.
The alleged involvement of women has touched a nerve in a country that has long struggled to address gender violence.

Bangor Daily News
Recorded child deaths in Maine doubled between 2020 and 2021 to the highest single-year total since the state’s child welfare system began collecting that data.
Twenty-five children died last year in incidents tracked by the state that were associated with abuse or neglect or after a history of family involvement with the child welfare system, according to updated data released by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services last week.

Bounties and bonuses leave small hospitals behind in staffing wars
Kaiser Health News
A recent lawsuit filed by one Wisconsin health system that temporarily prevented seven workers from starting new jobs at a different health network raised eyebrows, including those of Brock Slabach, chief operations officer of the National Rural Health Association.
“To me, that signifies the desperation that hospital leaders are facing in trying to staff their hospitals,” said Slabach.
His concern is for the smaller facilities that lack the resources to compete.

Study finds extragenital infections are underdiagnosed
University of Montreal via Medical Xpress
An internship in summer 2018 under the auspices of UdeM's PREMIER program for excellence in medicine through introduction to research has culminated in the publication of an article in a scientific journal for undergraduate medical student Simonne Harvey-Lavoie. In her internship, she worked as a member of the Engage research team under the supervision of Annie-Claude Labbé, infectious-disease specialist in the University of Montreal's Department of Microbiology, Infectiology and Immunology, and public-health researcher Gilles Lambert.
Engage is an extensive, Canada-wide study co-directed by Lambert. Its goal is to develop a picture of the sexual health of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. "We were conducting a sub-project to study extragenital infections due to Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and this was the research Simonne worked on," Labbé explained.
