UNASSIGNED: Unmet needs for ancillary services are substantial among people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), and provider type could influence the prevalence of unmet needs for these services.
UNASSIGNED: Data from a national probability sample of PWH were analyzed from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\'s Medical Monitoring Project. We analyzed 2019 data on people who had ≥1 encounter with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care provider (N = 3413) and their care facilities. We assessed the proportion of needs that were unmet for individual ancillary services, overall and by HIV care provider type, including infectious disease (ID) physicians, non-ID physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. We calculated prevalence differences (PDs) with predicted marginal means to assess differences between groups.
UNASSIGNED: An estimated 98.2% of patients reported ≥1 need for an ancillary service, and of those 46% had ≥1 unmet need. Compared with patients of ID physicians, needs for many ancillary services were higher among patients of other provider types. However, even after adjustment, patients of non-ID physicians had lower unmet needs for dental care (adjusted PD, -5.6 [95% confidence interval {CI}, -9.9 to -1.3]), and patients of nurse practitioners had lower unmet needs for HIV case management services (adjusted PD, -5.4 [95% CI, -9.4 to -1.4]), compared with patients of ID physicians.
UNASSIGNED: Although needs were greater among patients of providers other than ID physicians, many of these needs may be met by existing support systems at HIV care facilities. However, additional resources may be needed to address unmet needs for dental care and HIV case management among patients of ID physicians.

UNASSIGNED: Atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory, pruritic skin disorder, is seen primarily in the pediatric population but can be found among all age groups. The symptoms of AD can cause embarrassment in patients and can interrupt daily activities and productivity, potentially resulting in avoidance of social situations. In addition to nonpharmacologic management, mainstay pharmacologic treatments for AD are topical medications including corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors, and topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. Promising new drugs-oral JAK inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies-have emerged as new treatment options for moderate-to-severe AD.

UNASSIGNED: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the top three causes of death throughout the world. Because of the preventable and treatable nature of the disease along with its prevalence, COPD represents a major public health challenge. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Report provides a review of the most current evidence for prevention of COPD as well as the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of people with the disease. The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of the 2024 revised GOLD Report and current best practices in accordance with the evidence.

UNASSIGNED: Patients who have experienced animal or human bites may present for care in a number of settings with a variety of injuries requiring different approaches to treatment and management. Because animal and human bites range in severity and can result in a host of sequelae, their evaluation and management can be complex. In caring for patients with an animal or human bite, NPs must consider the many factors relevant to such an injury.
