Summary: The frequency, etiologies, predictors, and outcomes of rare mechanisms of stroke (RMS) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were studied in this research. The study found that the occurrence rate of RMS in a consecutive series of AIS was 5.3%. The most common etiologies of RMS were medical interventions, cancer, and vasculitis. RMS patients had less traditional risk factors but more systemic comorbidities, hemorrhagic transformations, recurrences, and a worse long-term outcome.

Summary: This study used national survey data from Rwanda to assess the prevalence and predictors of physical violence (PV) in children aged 13-17. The key finding was that children attending school had higher rates of PV. Factors associated with increased odds of reporting physical violence included being sexually active, belonging to a middle wealth quintile household, living in a larger family, and not feeling close to both biological parents.

Summary: Globally, one in three women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) over their lifetimes. The factors that cause men to commit IPV remain poorly understood. Exposure to gender-based collective violence, specifically sexual violence by armed groups, increases the likelihood of men committing physical violence against a female intimate partner 18 years later. This highlights the importance of addressing the lasting effects of collective violence on individuals' self-control skills.

Summary: Understanding the reasons and predictors for unplanned readmission in cranial neurosurgery is crucial for reducing healthcare costs and optimizing patient safety. Factors such as age, length of first stay, surgical treatment, and side diagnoses were found to be predictors for readmission, with specific diagnoses carrying higher risks. Developing preventative measures tailored to these reasons is important for improving patient outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to compare determinants of firearm purchasing related to the pandemic. A cross-sectional survey with 3853 online participants found that those who had firearms at home but did not purchase firearms during the pandemic were more likely to be male, live in rural settings, have higher income, and be Republican. The results highlight the changing profile of American firearm owners and suggest tailored public health interventions for first-time purchasers during the pandemic.

Summary: Studies have shown that there has been a changing demographic and epidemiological profile in women of childbearing age in Brazil due to factors such as increased life expectancy, reduced infant mortality, higher survival rates in old age, and a decrease in fertility rates. This study aimed to evaluate the external causes of mortality among women in Brazil from 2007 to 2016, focusing on temporal trends, correlations with age, and regional differences. The findings revealed a significant increase in mortality from external causes, particularly in the northern regions of Brazil, with young women aged 10 to 29 being most affected. It is important for managers and healthcare professionals to prioritize the diseases that affect this population.

Summary: Problem anger is a common issue among military personnel and veterans, and it is closely related to suicidality and violence. PTSD is the strongest risk factor for problem anger, while depression and alcohol dependence are also associated with increased anger rates. Problem anger has an influence on suicide attempts, primarily through suicidal ideation, and also directly influences violence. It is important to include anger as part of violence and suicide risk assessment, and to provide clinician training on this issue.

Summary: This study evaluated the incidence, causes, and predictors of unsuccessful decannulation following prolonged weaning. The results showed that failure to decannulate mainly resulted from persistent ICU-acquired dysphagia and long-term ventilator dependence following weaning failure, each associated with its own set of predictors.
