01), anger (6% vs 2%, p = 0.04) and disruptive behaviour (4% vs 0%, p less then 0.01) in YLPHIV as compared to HIV-U. Among YLPHIV, higher scores of anger were associated with higher total cholesterol and higher low-density lipoprotein (ß = 0.010, p = 0.041 and ß = 0.012, p = 0.048 respectively) and disruptive behaviour with higher low-density lipoprotein (ß = 0.010, p = 0.043) after adjusting for age, sex and BMIZ.This is the one of first study to investigate the association of mental health with metabolic outcomes among YLPHIV. The association of increased anger and disruptive behaviour with increased lipid concentration is a novel finding. Further longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the causal relationships between mental health and metabolic outcomes. Bony Bankart lesions can be encountered during treatment of shoulder instability. Current arthroscopic bony Bankart repair techniques involve intra-articular suture placement, but the effect of these repair techniques on the integrity of the humeral head articular surface warrants further investigation. To quantify the degree of humeral head articular cartilage damage secondary to current arthroscopic bony Bankart repair techniques in a cadaveric model. Controlled laboratory study. Testing was performed in 13 matched pairs of cadaveric glenoids with simulated bony Bankart fractures, with a defect width of 25% of the glenoid diameter. Half of the fractures were repaired with a double-row technique, while the contralateral glenoids were repaired with a single-row technique. Samples were subjected to 20,000 cycles of internal-external rotation across a 90° arc at 2 Hz after a compressive load of 750 N, or 90% body weight (whichever was less) was applied to simulate wear. Cartilage defects on the humeral stable, it results in increased cartilage damage. These findings suggest that alternative, cartilage-sparing arthroscopic techniques for bony Bankart repair should be investigated. This study provides data demonstrating that placement of intra-articular suture during arthroscopic bony Bankart repair techniques may harm the humeral head cartilage. While the double-row repair of bony Bankart lesions is more stable, it results in increased cartilage damage. These findings suggest that alternative, cartilage-sparing arthroscopic techniques for bony Bankart repair should be investigated.Longitudinal measurement invariance-the consistency of measurement in data collected over time-is a prerequisite for any meaningful inferences of growth patterns. When one or more items measuring the construct of interest show noninvariant measurement properties over time, it leads to biased parameter estimates and inferences on the growth parameters. In this paper, I extend the recently developed alignment-within-confirmatory factor analysis (AwC) technique to adjust for measurement biases for growth models. The proposed AwC method does not require a priori knowledge of noninvariant items and the iterative searching of noninvariant items in typical longitudinal measurement invariance research. Results of a Monte Carlo simulation study comparing AwC with the partial invariance modeling method show that AwC largely reduces biases in growth parameter estimates and gives good control of Type I error rates, especially when the sample size is at least 1,000. It also outperforms the partial invariance method in conditions when all items are noninvariant. However, all methods give biased growth parameter estimates when the proportion of noninvariant parameters is over 25%. Based on the simulation results, I conclude that AO is a viable alternative to the partial invariance method in growth modeling when it is not clear whether longitudinal measurement invariance holds. The current paper also demonstrates AwC in an example modeling neuroticism over three time points using a public data set, which shows how researchers can compute effect size indices for
