    Summary: This book is a practical guide in understanding how to prevent HIV transmission, to recognize risk behaviors, and to add something else to their repertoires. It aims to empower clinicians and provide a sense of security and competence with the recognition and understanding of some of the psychiatric illnesses that complicate and perpetuate the HIV pandemic that continue to persist throughout every area of the world despite the magnitude of the progress that has transformed the illness from a rapidly fatal to chronic illness that is no longer life-limiting. Missing in most of the literature on HIV is the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, contribution of psychiatric symptoms, psychiatric illness, and risk behaviors that drive the pandemic and serve as catalysts for new infections. This practical guide provides state-of-the-art understanding of not only prevention but also a way to recognize risk behaviors, psychiatric symptoms, and psychiatric illnesses that will demystify and decode the sometimes enigmatic and frustrating reasons for nonadherence with diagnostic procedures and life-saving treatments and care. All behaviors and pathology are covered as well as the resources and treatments available. The goal of this text is to refresh knowledge on the current state of psychiatric illness management among people living with HIV, to provide a concise volume on the psychiatric aspects of HIV prevention and treatment that substantially impact the overall care of the patient, and to help understand the psychiatric catalysts of the pandemic Written by experts in the field, HIV Psychiatry: A Practical Guide for Clinicians provides enduring guidance to medical and other professionals caring for complicated clinical patients as they face ongoing challenges in working with persons with HIV and AIDS.

    Quantitative studies of femoral head blood flow by the hydrogen washout technique with the hips in various positions of immobilization were determined. Immobilization in flexion consistently resulted in the highest rate of femoral head blood flow. A position of relaxed abduction seemed to slightly, but significantly, decrease the rate of blood flow. The position of forced frog-leg abduction and forced internal rotation obliterated or drastically reduced circulation in the femoral head. We think that the ischemia of forced acute immobilization is secondary to compression of the immature cartilaginous femoral head. These experimental data further indicate the importance of the selected position of immobilization in the treatment of congenital dislocated hips as a cause of iatrogenic avascular necrosis.
