Abstract
The Soldier Health Promotion to Examine and Reduce Health Disparities (SHPERHD) Project was designed to be a partnership between the Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities at the University of South Carolina and the Fort Jackson United States Army Base located in Columbia, South Carolina. SHPERHD Project researchers are studying problems related to obesity and weight management, musculoskeletal injuries and infection, and mental health issues during recruitment, basic training, and post-deployment. In order to successfully develop targeted interventions to prevent and lower the incidence of injury, promote healthy nutrition, and decrease mental health issues, at the same time also reducing disparity gaps, the SHPERHD Project comprises a professional, technical, and administrative staff with specific competence in the operation of a Coordinating Center to handle the wide variety of areas related to military studies. This article discusses the procedures and processes that were implemented in the development of the SHPERHD Project Coordinating Center.

Abstract
Asthma is one of the leading chronic illnesses among children in the United States. International epidemiological studies have also shown asthma prevalence is an increasing problem. The objective of this study was to examine the correlates of access to care among asthmatic children age 0-17 in the United States. This is a retrospective study and secondary data analysis of the 2000 National Health Interview Survey. Parametric testing using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to examine health care utilization among children with asthma in the United States. It was found that Black children were highly associated with not visiting a general doctor in the past 12 months (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.30, 0.75). Uninsured asthmatic children were associated with the risk of not seeing a general doctor in the past 12 months (OR 0.40; 95% CI 0.23, 0.69). Our study findings indicate disparities among Black children with asthma and their ability to access appropriate health care services. Additional studies are required to identify factors that contribute to the temporal trends in asthma and country of origin.

Abstract
Intestinal and extraintestinal complications of Crohn’s disease are well documented. Changes in the connective tissue within the intestinal wall and surrounding tissue including mesenteric fat are characteristically seen in resected and autopsy specimens. A rare and unusually florid mesothelial reaction in the surrounding small bowel serosa of a patient with a 2-year history of Crohn’s ileitis is described. The peritoneal surface of the ileal resection specimen displayed exuberant tubulo-papillary formations of the mesothelium, with superficial invasion of the underlying stroma. The case demonstrates the well-recognised difficult differential diagnosis between a benign mesothelial proliferation and malignant mesothelioma in a novel clinical setting, and the diversity of the extramural manifestations of Crohn's disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A generalized epidemic of HIV infection has been evolving in Papua New Guinea over the last decade, whereas in other Pacific Island countries and territories (PICT) HIV transmission has generally been less widespread. Programmes to detect HIV infection in pregnant women and to prevent mother to child transmission (MTCT) during either delivery or breast-feeding can decrease the incidence of infection in infants. The limited health infrastructure present in some PICT may delay the implementation of effective programmes to decrease MTCT of HIV. METHODS We used a standardized questionnaire to survey health-care providers in 22 PICT for information on the epidemiology of HIV infection and strategies used during 2004 to prevent MTCT of HIV infection in their country. We supplemented these survey responses with data obtained from regional organizations supporting national responses to HIV. RESULTS We obtained responses from 21 PICT. The reported prevalence of known HIV infection was >150 per 100 000 persons in Papua New Guinea, approximately 100 per 100 000 persons in French Polynesia, Guam, New Caledonia and Tuvalu and <50 per 100 000 persons in the remaining 14 PICT. Other than in Papua New Guinea, where an estimated 500 pregnant women had HIV infection diagnosed in 2004, reported HIV infection among pregnant women was rare. Ten PICT reported that an HIV antibody test was offered as a routine component of antenatal care and 11 reported that antiretroviral medications were available for the prevention of MTCT of HIV infection. CONCLUSION The prevalence of HIV infection differs greatly between PICT with a varying risk of MTCT of HIV infection. Successful prevention of MTCT of HIV infection throughout the PICT will require improved uptake of antenatal HIV antibody testing and better access to antiretroviral medications.

Abstract
The frontal assessment battery (FAB) is a bedside test of executive function. It takes less than 10 minutes to administer and a low score indicates executive dysfunction. To determine whether the FAB could detect the more severe subcortical dementia that is a feature of PSP and differentiate it from other bradykinetic rigid syndromes, we studied 17 patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP); 11 with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and 12 with Parkinson's disease (PD). We compared FAB scores with the results of more detailed tests of executive and general cognitive function.FAB scores were significantly lower in PSP than in MSA or PD (p=0.02 and p<0.001) and were also found to be significantly lower in MSA than in PD (p=0.047). We divided the study group into those with an FAB score <15 and those with an FAB score>/=5, regardless of the clinical diagnosis. While 82% of the PSP group had FAB scores of <15, such scores were recorded in only 36% of the MSA and 8% of the PD groups. The lexical fluency and motor series subscores of the FAB discriminated 70% of the PSP, MSA and PD patients. The FAB scores correlated with tests of executive function, as well as with scores on the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale, the Mini Mental State Examination and other tests of general cognitive function. A stepwise regression analysis revealed that across the groups, among the variables that correlated with FAB scores, alternating semantic fluency accounted for 80% of FAB variance.These results suggest that the FAB is a valid and easily applicable bedside test to discriminate executive dysfunction in these three frequently confused bradykinetic rigid syndromes.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation often leads to the return of fertility in recipients. In females of childbearing age this can be accompanied by a desire to have children. The present paper discusses a planned pregnancy in a heart transplant recipient and outlines important -management issues. These principles of management can be applied to most solid organ transplant recipients.
