DUXBURY, Mass. — Hundreds of people came together in Duxbury Saturday to make sure parents struggling with their mental health know they don’t have to face it alone. Families and supporters gathered for the community’s second annual Postpartum Support International Climb, a walk aimed at raising awareness and money for perinatal mental health care. The event began at Pilgrim Church of Duxbury. For Emily Newton, director of PSI’s The Climb program, the mission is personal. “18 years ago when I had my first baby and didn’t quite feel like myself, I needed a safety net and I didn’t know how to make one,” Newton told Boston 25 News. Postpartum Support International provides support and resources for families experiencing mental health challenges during pregnancy and after childbirth. Its Climb program brings communities together across the country to raise awareness and support perinatal mental health care. Kelly Winter, a leader of the Duxbury event, said the local Climb began after she brought the idea to her church’s missions committee.0 of 8“I brought forward PSI and everyone really wanted to do one of these Climb events, and so we had our first one last year,” Winter said.

Bioengineer.org | Viral blips during HIV therapy are common and rarely signal treatment failure, Swedish study finds - European AIDS Treatment Group
Bioengineer.org news storyFor people living with HIV, modern antiretroviral therapy can suppress the virus to levels below what standard laboratory tests can detect. Yet some patients on long-term treatment experience a curious phenomenon: a single test result showing a small, transient amount of virus in the blood, followed by an immediate return to undetectable levels. These events, known as viral blips, have puzzled clinicians and researchers for years, raising questions about whether they represent harmless statistical noise, brief bursts of viral production from hidden reservoirs, or early warnings of impending treatment failure. A new nationwide Swedish study, published in BMC Infectious Diseases, offers one of the most comprehensive answers to date. Drawing on the Swedish national InfCareHIV cohort, researchers analyzed data from 4,210 treatment-naïve adults who began antiretroviral therapy from 1 January 2007 onward, with follow-up data extracted through 30 September 2020. The median observation time was 5.5 years, with some individuals followed for as long as 13.7 years.
European Medical Journal | HIV linked to early signs of heart dysfunction - European AIDS Treatment Group
European Medical Journal news storyPeople living with HIV may experience subtle changes in heart muscle function even when conventional measures of cardiac performance remain normal, according to findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis. Researchers identified significantly impaired global longitudinal strain (GLS) among people with HIV compared with HIV-uninfected individuals, despite preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in both groups. The findings suggest that speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) could provide additional information about early myocardial dysfunction in this population. Read the full news story here.
Patient-centered financial navigation assistance helps reduce financial toxicity among cancer patients - Medical Xpress
Among cancer patients, the high financial cost of cancer care is a prevalent problem. This financial burden is also associated with potentially harmful behavioral strategies that patients might use to cope with costs, such as delaying or forgoing treatment and skipping medications. Collectively, researchers refer to this impact as financial toxicity.
