The ability of first responder agencies to target resources at the highest risk domestic and family violence offenders and victims is limited by a lack of information about the timing of recidivism. This is particularly true for young people, who have typically been excluded from the risk literature. This study analysed Victoria Police reported incident data on almost 4,000 young people (aged 12–18) involved in domestic and/or family violence. Approximately one in four young people were involved in repeat violence within six months, with the highest risk occurring at around three to four weeks. The likelihood of repeat incidents of violence increased significantly with every new event. A prior history of violence (including breaches) was associated with repeat violence in the short term. The findings highlight the need for timely, targeted and graduated responses to domestic and family violence among young people.

Resumo: Alagoas é considerado o Estado brasileiro mais violento segundo pesquisas divulgadas pela ONU. E dentre os municípios com maior índice de violência do Estado, União dos Palmares figura com destaque. O município foi sede do Quilombo dos Palmares, reconhecido como símbolo de resistência e liberdade. A derrocada do Quilombo no século XVII deu condições para o surgimento da cidade. No ano de 2012 o município recebeu o programa Juventude Viva – Programa do Governo Federal destinado às cidades que possuem alto índice de violência contra jovens. Tendo essa história de violência como referência, questiona-se qual o princípio dessa violência incrustada no conformismo da população e na denúncia da mídia impressa, que aponta União dos Palmares como lugar inóspito a se viver. Palavras-chave: Violência; naturalização; União dos Palmares.Abstract: Alagoas is considered the most violent Brazilian state according to research published by the United Nations, and among the municipalities with the highest state violence index, União dos Palmares figures prominently. The city hosted the Palmares, recognized as a symbol of strength and freedom. The collapse of Quilombo in the seventeenth century gave conditions for the emergence of the city. In 2012, the city received the Youth Alive program - Federal Government Programme for the cities that have a high rate of violence against young people. With this history of violence as a reference, which questioned the principle that violence embedded in the conformism of the population and in the print media complaint, pointing União dos Palmares as inhospitable place to live.Keywords: Violence; naturalization; União dos Palmares.

Background: Depression and diabetes have been shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. However, whether there is an increased risk when both conditions are present is unknown. Methods: Patients of the Intermountain Heart Collaborative Study were studied if they underwent angiography for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and had no prior history of CV disease (no CAD [coronary artery disease], MI [myocardial infarction], stroke, or heart failure). Patients were stratified based on their diabetes and depression status: none, diabetes only, depression only, and diabetes and depression. Multivariable Cox hazard regression was utilized to evaluate the association of diabetes/depression groups to death and MI at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year. Results: A total of 4,321 (62.7% male; 61.3±12.9 years) patients were studied. The distribution of patients within each diabetes/depression category was: no depression or diabetes: 74.9% (3,236), diabetes only: 18.5% (800), depression only: 4.4% (192), diabetes and depression: 2.2% (93). A total of 46.2% presented with an MI and 61.4% were diagnosed with CAD. Those with both a diabetes and depression diagnosis were at greater risk of short-term death and, in particular, MI (Table). Conclusion: Among those without a history of CV disease undergoing angiography for ACS, the presence of both diabetes and depression indicated a higher risk of short-term death and, in particular, incident MI, than either one alone or neither diagnosis. Such patients may need greater care and evaluation following angiography for ACS in an effort to reduce short-term morbidity and mortality.

Violent incidents in psychiatric institutions have been the focus of much study over the past few decades. But there has been little work looking at similar incidents in child and adolescent units. The authors set out to examine whether some of the patterns observed in adult populations are true of adolescent groups. The Gardener Unit was considered appropriate in light of reports of a higher frequency of assaultative behaviour among younger clients and because of the nature of problems presented by clients needing a secure environment. All violent incidents are automatically recorded. The violent incident register was examined between 1 June 1991 and 1 June 1992 and the information cross-checked with case notes and nursing reports. Demographic details, etc. were obtained from case notes. The results indicated a slightly higher daily incident rate than adult studies. At least half of the population were involved in some form of violent episode over the 12-month period. The majority of incidents were minor in nature. Nursing staff were the most frequent targets, although females showed an excess of inwardly directed aggression (self harm). A prior history of violent behaviour did not serve as a realistic predictor of frequency of violent incidents in this study. With increasing concern regarding the care of this disturbed group of young people, it was felt important to look closely at the nature of and handling of violent incidents on this unit. A second paper will consider in detail how these incidents were dealt with.

Background and Purpose: Recurrent ischemic strokes increase the risk of disability and mortality. The role of conventional risk factors in recurrent strokes may change due to increased awareness of prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to explore the potential risk factors besides conventional ones which may help to affect the advances in future preventive concepts associated with one-year stroke recurrence (OSR). Methods: We analyzed 6,632 adult patients with ischemic stroke. Differences in clinical characteristics between patients with and without OSR were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses. Results: Among the study population, 525 patients (7.9%) had OSR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male sex (OR 1.243, 95% CI 1.025 – 1.506), age (OR 1.015, 95% CI 1.007 - 1.023), and a prior history of ischemic stroke (OR 1.331, 95% CI 1.096 – 1.615) were major factors associated with OSR. CART analysis further identified age and a prior history of ischemic stroke were important factors for OSR when classified the patients into three subgroups (with risks of OSR of 8.8%, 3.8%, and 12.5% for patients aged > 57.5 years, ≤ 57.5 years/with no prior history of ischemic stroke, and ≤ 57.5 years/with a prior history of ischemic stroke, respectively). Conclusions: Male sex, age, and a prior history of ischemic stroke could increase the risk of OSR by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and CART analysis further demonstrated that patients with a younger age (≤ 57.5 years) and a prior history of ischemic stroke had the highest risk of OSR.

Diving as a method of fishing is used worldwide in small-scale fisheries. However, one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among fishermen is decompression sickness (DCS). We report the case of a 46-year-old male fisherman diver who presented with chronic inguinal pain that radiated to the lower left limb. Living and working in a fishing port in Yucatan, he had a prior history of DCS. A diagnosis of avascular necrosis in the left femoral head secondary to DCS was made via analysis of clinical and radiological findings. The necrosis was surgically resolved by a total hip arthroplasty. Dysbaric osteonecrosis is a more probable diagnosis. In this region fishermen undergo significant decompression stress in their daily fishing efforts. Further studies regarding prevalence of dysbaric osteonecrosis among small-scale fisheries divers are needed. In a community where DCS is endemic and has become an epidemic, as of late, the perception of this health risk remains low. Furthermore, training and decompression technique are lacking among the fishing communities.

Abstract Background This retrospective cohort study assessed the annualized incidence rate (IR) of acute pancreatitis (AP) in a nationally representative US adult population, as well as the variation in the risk of AP events across strata of triglyceride (TG) levels. Methods Data were obtained from IQVIA’s US Ambulatory Electronic Medical Records (EMR) database linked with its LRxDx Open Claims database. Inclusion criteria included ≥1 serum TG value during the overlapping study period of the EMR and claims databases, ≥1 claim in the 12-month baseline period, and ≥ 1 claim in the 12 months post index. All TG measurements were assigned to the highest category reached: < 2.26, ≥2.26 to ≤5.65, > 5.65 to ≤9.94, > 9.94, and > 11.29 mmol/L (< 200, ≥200 to ≤500, > 500 to ≤880, > 880, and > 1000 mg/dL, respectively). The outcome of interest was AP, defined as a hospitalization event with AP as the principal diagnosis. Results In total, 7,119,195 patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, of whom 4158 (0.058%) had ≥1 AP events in the prior 12 months. Most patients (83%) had TGs < 2.26 mmol/L (< 200 mg/dL), while < 1% had TGs > 9.94 mmol/L (> 880 mg/dL). Overall, the IR of AP was low (0.08%; 95% confidence internal [CI], 0.08–0.08%), but increased with increasing TGs (0.08% in TGs < 2.26 mmol/L [< 200 mg/dL] to 1.21% in TGs > 11.29 mmol/L [> 1000 mg/dL]). In patients with a prior history of AP, the IR of AP increased dramatically; patients with ≥2 AP events at baseline had an IR of 29.98% (95% CI, 25.1–34.9%). Conclusion The risk of AP increases with increasing TG strata; however, the risk increases dramatically among patients with a recent history of AP.
