Suicide rates are high in United States (U.S.) Pacific Island Territories, where large numbers of Veterans reside. Yet knowledge of suicidal self-directed violence (SSDV) among Veterans in this region is limited. We examined the feasibility of surveying Veterans in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and American Samoa regarding suicidal ideation (SI) and non-fatal SSDV, and examined SI and non-fatal SSDV prevalence and associations with SI. Of 3,000 Veterans invited...

CONCLUSION: Results confirm high prevalence rates of current smoking and the potential impact on health among Puerto Ricans with MI diagnosis. Tailored treatments for smoking cessation for Puerto Ricans living with MI are needed.

CONCLUSION: There was a disproportionately high distribution of meperidine in Puerto Rico compared to the continental US across the years studied.

CONCLUSION: The overall prevalence of maxillary canine impaction was high, although parallel to that reported in a Mexican population; site-level risk factors (deciduous canine presence, overlap) were identified.

CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest disparities in access to primary health services for people with DM between public and private insureds, and that there is no continuity of care, leading to high costs for such services.

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in Puerto Rico (PR). Cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF) during pregnancy, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, increase risks for maternal and neonatal health. Limited data exist on CVDRF prevalence among pregnant women in PR.

CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the 6MWT can be used to evaluate SSc patients. No association was found between 6MWD and most clinical SSc symptoms in our population. Two clinical symptoms, lung crackles and palpitations, were associated with decreased 6MWD.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare and potentially life-threatening cause of systolic heart failure that usually arises in the late stages of pregnancy or the early postpartum period. Its clinical presentation can range from moderate symptoms to severe forms of heart failure, such as cardiogenic shock. However, there is scarce data on severe forms of PPCM leading to multiple organ dysfunction and its management. We report a case of a 30-year-old G2P2 previously healthy Puerto Rican woman...

This case report highlights the potential of continuous ST segment monitoring (C-STM) in the emergency department (ED) for identifying transient ischemic changes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We present a case of a 62-year-old male with type 2 diabetes and hypertension who presented with chest pain, that resolved prior to arrival. Despite an initially non-diagnostic ECG, C-STM detected transient hyperacute T waves and mild ST elevations, prompting further investigation, and...
