Etiologies of HIV disparities are multifaceted; anti-LGBTQ stigma and social marginalization are contributory factors. A city health department developed a program, #ProjectPresence, exhibiting professional photos of Black LGBTQ persons in public spaces. An academic partner explored the relationship of the program to visibility, anti-LGBTQ stigma and social marginalization of Black LGBTQ persons, i.e. models, directly involved in the program and their perceptions of these relationships more broadly for community members. Brief self-administered surveys and semi-structured, in-depth interviews with #ProjectPresence models (n = 15) were conducted after the program to gather their experiences before, during and after the program. Descriptive analyses of survey responses were conducted using Stata 15.1. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and analyzed in NVivo10 using categorical analysis. Surveys indicated prevalent experiences of enacted stigma (73 %) and perceptions of poor local acceptance of LGBTQ people (53 %). Interviews suggested that the program may have influenced positive individual- and community-level changes by increasing visibility of LGBTQ communities and improving acceptance among non-LGBTQ persons, inspiring personal growth and self-acceptance among models, and providing opportunities to foster new connections among LGBTQ subpopulations. Our findings suggest similar programs may present promising approaches for the reduction of stigma and social marginalization affecting LGBTQ persons and communities.

Objectives/Hypothesis: Inner ear decompression illness is thought to be a rare phenomenon in recreational divers, isolated signs and symptoms of inner ear dysfunction usually being attributed to inner ear barotrauma. Study Design: We present 11 cases of inner ear dysfunction in nine divers with inner ear decompression illness. Results: All nine divers had significant right-to-left shunt as diagnosed by transcranimal Doppler sonography. Conclusions: The authors thought that mechanism of causation in these cases may have been intravascular bubble emboli and that inner ear decompression illness may be more common among recreational divers than currently recognized. Failure to treat inner ear decompression illness with recompression therapy can result in permanent disability. Because the differential diagnosis between inner ear barotrauma and inner ear decompression illness can be impossible, the authors suggested that divers who present with inner ear symptoms following a dive should have recompression immediately after having undergone bilateral paracentesis.

The use of Ender nails for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures has been described as technically easier and less time consuming than current intramedullary nailing techniques. We reviewed our results with unlocked Ender nails in 26 stable and 17 unstable fracture patterns an average of 3-4 years after injury. Because of continued instability, 42% of the stable and 76% of the unstable groups required adjunctive stabilization in the form of skeletal traction, a cast, or an external fixator. Additionally, nail migration and shortening and loss of motion at the knee were seen in 14 fractures in each group. Although two thirds of the patients with stable fracture patterns obtained good or excellent results, no outcome in the unstable group was rated excellent and only 19% were considered good. We therefore recommend that rigid locked intramedullary nails be used in femoral diaphyseal injuries. The use of Ender nails should be limited to stable fracture patterns and locked with screws or wires. They may be particularly useful for fractures in femora with small medullary canals (less than or equal to 8 mm), fractures below noncemented femoral prostheses, and fractures in young children requiring intramedullary stabilization without injuring the physeal plates.
