Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore perceptions related to COVID-19 vaccination intention among African American and Latinx participants and suggest intervention strategies.Approach Ninety minute virtual focus groups (N = 8), segmented by county, race and ethnicity were conducted with stakeholders from 3 vulnerable Alabama counties.Participants Participants (N = 67) were primarily African American and Latinx, at least 19 years, and residents or stakeholders in Jefferson, Mobile, and Dallas counties.Setting Focus groups took place virtually over Zoom.Methods The semi-structured guide explored perceptions of COVID-19, with an emphasis on barriers and facilitators to vaccine uptake. Focus groups lasted approximately 90 minutes and were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by a team of 3 investigators, according to the guidelines of Thematic Analysis using NVivo 12. To provide guidance in the development of interventions to decrease vaccine hesitancy, we examined how themes fit with the constructs of the Health Belief Model.Results We found that primary themes driving COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, ordered from most to least discussed, are mistrust, fear, and lack of information. Additionally, interventions to decrease vaccine hesitancy should be multi-modal, community engaged, and provide consistent, comprehensive messages delivered by trusted sources.

Abstract

Background: Simultaneous presentation of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is rarely reported in the literature and needs to be differentiated from angioglioma, a highly vascular glioma and other differential diagnosis such as hypervascular glioblastoma. Incorporating critical features of both, malignant glioma and AVM, such lesions lack a standard algorithm for diagnosis and therapy due to their rare incidence as well as their complex radiological and highly individualized clinical presentation. Case Description: We present a case of a 71yearold female with newly developing motor deficits and radiographic findings of a heterogeneously contrast enhancing rightsided thalamic lesion with highly prominent vasculature. While computed tomography angiogram and cerebral digital subtraction angiography supported the diagnosis of AVM, contrastenhancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRspectroscopy was suggestive of malignant glioma. A stereotactic biopsy revealed the diagnosis of a GBM (WHO IV) and the patient was treated accordingly. Conclusion: The coincidental presentation of vascular lesions such as AVM and malignant glioma is rare and presents a major challenge when establishing a diagnosis. The respective treatment decision is complicated by the fact that available treatment modalities (e.g. radiosurgery and/or open resection) carry disease specific complications for each entity. Finding a suitable solution for such cases requires standardization of early diagnostic and therapeutic management [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
