This study analyzed reasons for unprotected sex among men who have sex with men using an event-level analysis of data from 1046 men in the San Francisco Bay Area. The study found higher rates of unprotected insertive and receptive anal intercourse among HIV-negative men with HIV-positive partners. Negative moods and drug use during sex were more common in these serodiscordant partnerships. The study concludes event-level factors like mood, substance use, and beliefs about viral load need to be addressed in HIV prevention interventions.

Selected Psychological and Social Factors Contributing to Relapse among Relap...inventionjournals
Drug abuse is a major global problem and in Kenya there has been increasing drug and alcohol abuse with serious negative effects. Treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholism is expensive and non-conclusive due to consequent relapse. This study sought to find out selected psychological and social factors contributing to relapse among recovering alcoholics of Asumbi and Jorgs Ark rehabilitation centres in Kenya. This study adopted the descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised of all relapsed alcoholics and rehabilitation counsellors in Asumbi and Jorgs Ark rehabilitation centres in Kenya. A sample of 67 recovering alcoholics and 13 counsellors was drawn from the two purposively selected rehabilitation centres and used in the study. The study used two sets of questionnaires, one for relapsed alcoholics and another for rehabilitation counsellors. The questionnaires were piloted to validate and establish its reliability before the actual data collection. Data was collected through administration of two sets of questionnaires to the selected respondents. The data was then processed and analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequencies and percentages with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 for windows. The key findings of this study indicated that the selected psychological factor that mostly contributed to relapse was dwelling on resentment that causes anger and frustration due to unresolved conflict. The social factor that mostly contributed to relapse was hanging around old drinking friends. The key conclusion was that in view of selected factors dwelling on resentment that causes anger and frustration due to unresolved conflict was the major contributor to relapse. The research findings may benefit NACADA, Ministry of Public Health, mental health agencies, psychologists, counsellors, Non-Governmental organizations, policy makers, researchers, drug abusers and alcoholics in Kenya to better understand factors contributing to relapse and devise ways and means of reducing relapse. Based on the major findings of this study, it is recommended that all stakeholders undertake measures aimed at providing a solution to continued relapse of alcoholics by improvement of rehabilitation and follow-up programmes.
The Effect of Alcohol Intoxication on Misinformation Acceptance and Confidenc...Heather Flowe
We experimentally examined the effects of alcohol consumption and exposure to misleading postevent information on memory for a hypothetical interactive rape scenario, examining whether memory encoding and retrieval processes differed in relation to intoxication. Participants (N = 80) were randomly assigned to consume alcohol (mean BAC = .06%) or tonic water before engaging in the scenario. Alcohol expectancy was controlled, and participant beliefs about the beverage they thought they had consumed and feelings of intoxication were measured. A week later, immediately before recalling the scenario, participants were exposed to a postevent narrative, ostensibly written by another research participant who had been interviewed about the scenario. After the recall task, participants completed a recognition test, reporting confidence in the likely accuracy of their answers. Participants who believed they had consumed alcohol compared to those who believed they had consumed tonic reported fewer correct details; but, they were no more likely to report incorrect or misleading information. Further, participants who had consumed alcohol were less likely to volunteer answers to recognition questions about misled items. The confidence-accuracy relationship for control and misled items was similar across groups, and there was some evidence that metacognitive discrimination was better for participants who believed they had consumed alcohol compared to those who believed they had consumed tonic. We discuss the implications for alcohol’s effect on memory encoding and retrieval strategies in the context of rape.

Massachusetts Public Opinion Poll: The State of the Opioid EpidemicAndrew Dreyfus
Massachusetts residents rate the opioid epidemic as the most serious problem facing the state today, far outpacing other issues including jobs, the economy or health care costs, according to a new opinion poll released today by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (“Blue Cross”). The poll, conducted in January 2018 by Anderson-Robbins Research, finds significant differences in how residents across the Commonwealth view this public health epidemic, its causes and potential solutions. The crisis is personal for most adults in Massachusetts - a majority know someone who has been addicted, and 1 in 4 know someone who died of an opioid overdose. Very few think things are getting better.
Other key findings include:
• Legally prescribed drugs are seen as fueling the epidemic more than illegal drugs. Half think current regulations make strong prescription painkillers too easy to get in Massachusetts; very few think they are too difficult to get.
• Most respondents think those with opioid use disorder are at least somewhat to blame for their addiction. A lack of desire to give up the addiction by those addicted is viewed as the biggest barrier to recovery.
• Rural communities across Massachusetts feel particularly vulnerable

Sex- and Age-specific Increases in Suicide Attempts by Self-Poisoning in the ...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
There was a more than twofold increase in the rate of suspected self-poisoning suicide cases between 2011 and 2018, according to a new study that looked at more than 1.6 million such cases.
Here’s what else you need to know:
•Overall trends: Cases of suicide attempts by self-poisoning doubled in those aged 10-18 between 2011 and 2018, rising from around 39,000 to more than 78,000.
•Gender: More girls than boys attempted suicide by self-poisoning. The rate of intentional attempts among girls 10-18 also steadily increased from 2011-2018.
•Outcomes: The number of serious outcomes — including death and hospitalizations — as a result of the poisoning increased 235% between 2000 and 2018, and more than 1,400 children died.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance.

An event-level analysis
Chongyi Wei, H. Fisher Raymond, Ron Stall, Willi McFarland
Presented at:
The 2011 National HIV Prevention Conference
Atlanta, GA
August 2011
2. Introduction
Global associations between sexual risk taking and
patterns of personal behavior (e.g. substance use) have
been well documented
However, such patterns of behavior may also be
challenged by context specific disinhibition
Situational and event-level explanations for sexual risk
taking are less documented or understood
Objectives: We describe reasons for UAI at the event-level
among MSM’s seroconcordant and serodiscordant
partnerships
3. Methods
Data: Baseline assessment (2008) of a longitudinal study
Time-location sampling (TLS)
Eligibility: Male, 18 or older, Bay Area resident, approached
by staff at the randomly selected VDT
Self-administered on a handheld computer
Measures:
Individual socio-demographics
A sexual activity matrix assessing sexual partner and
partnership characteristics including HIV status
A series of event-level questions: Condom use during last sex
for each partner; mood at last sex; alcohol/drug use at last sex;
etc.
Analysis:
Pearson’s Chi-square tests comparing partnerships of different
HIV status pairings

Most endorsed reasons for last URAI
Poz-poz: Weren’t concerned with re-infection
Neg-poz: He had undetectable viral load; he pulled out
before cumming
Poz-neg: I had undetectable viral load; I was the bottom
Most endorsed reasons for last UIAI
Poz-poz: Weren’t concerned with re-infection
Neg-poz: I was the top
Poz-neg: I had undetectable viral load
10. Conclusions
Seropositioning appears prevalent for serodiscordant
pairs
Viral load appears to affect sexual practices between
serodiscordant pairs
Rates of UIAI, URAI or both were higher among neg-
poz pairs
Negative moods and drug use during last sex were
more prevalent among neg-poz pairs
11. Conclusions
Limitations
TLS does not reach those who do not frequent MSM
venues
Self-reported HIV status
Partner assessment did not capture all partners in the
past 6 months, partnerships with riskier behavior
may have been missed
12. Conclusions
Event-level factors associated with sexual risk
taking need to be taken into consideration when
planning HIV interventions as a specific focus on
contingency management
Skill building around mood, managing daily life
and substance use, especially for HIV-negative
men who have serodiscordant partners even
when they have these partners infrequently
