Vaginal microbial communities in postmenopausal women undergoing gynecologic cancer treatments have small but detectable differences compared to healthy controls, including higher diversity and abundance of opportunistic bacterial pathogens. Radiation therapy alone seems to affect several phylogroups (12 bacterial genera), while gynecological cancer and its treatment modalities (surgery and chemotherapy) are associated with even greater significant shifts in the vaginal microbiota including the enrichment...

Of 888 patients who started adjuvant endocrine therapy, 769(86.6%) persisted and 119 (13.4%) discontinued. 760 patients who completed MMAS, the compliance was 7.4% low, 42% medium, and 50.6% high. Adherence was affected by many factors. Special attention and interventions should be given to women taking tamoxifen in the 2nd to 3rd year of medication, and AIs in the 1st to 2nd year. Abstract Objective Despite the proven benefits of adjuvant endocrine therapy, adherence to oral endocrine therapy...

Abstract This study examined associations of performance‐monitoring event‐related potentials (ERPs) from go/no‐go and flanker tasks with one another, and with psychopathy‐related traits of disinhibition, meanness, and boldness. A task‐dependent relationship was evident between the error‐related negativity (ERN) and trait disinhibition, with high‐disinhibited participants showing reduced no‐go ERN but not flanker ERN. Disinhibition was also inversely related to variants of the P3 and the error positivity...

Main points Visual deprivation induces a fast and persistent upregulation of Aldh1l1‐positive astrocytes. Acute fluorocitrate‐induced silencing of astrocytes impedes neuronal reactivation. Gi but not Gq G‐protein coupled receptor astrocyte activation promotes adult cortical plasticity. Abstract Astrocytes are vital for preserving correct brain functioning by continuously sustaining neuronal activity and survival. They are in contact with multiple synapses at once allowing the expansion...

BackgroundTo date, the burden of injury in Mexico has not been comprehensively assessed using recent advances in population health research, including those in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017).MethodsWe used GBD 2017 for burden of unintentional injury estimates, including transport injuries, for Mexico and each state in Mexico from 1990 to 2017. We examined subnational variation, age patterns, sex differences and time trends for all injury burden metrics.ResultsUnintentional injury...

BackgroundChild maltreatment is poorly documented in clinical data. The International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) represents the first time that confirmed and suspected child maltreatment can be distinguished in medical coding. The utility of this distinction in practice remains unknown. This study aims to evaluate the application of these codes by patient demographic characteristics and injury type.MethodsWe conducted secondary...

Abstract The long-standing interest in the effects of religiosity and spirituality (R/S) on health outcomes has given rise to a large and diverse literature. We conducted a meta-analysis on research involving R/S and physiological markers of health to elucidate both the scope and mechanism(s) of this phenomenon. A combined analysis found a significant, but small, beneficial effect. Subgroup analyses found that some measures of both extrinsic and intrinsic religiosity were significantly...

Abstract Religion and body weight was explored at two time points among overweight and obese African-American adults. Baseline and follow-up data were collected from 26 adults participating in a weight loss intervention and analyzed using multiple regression analyses of religious measures, body weight, and other variables. Frequent church attendance was significantly associated with greater weight lost from baseline to 16-week follow-up. In this exploratory study, religious interactions...

Abstract Surgery is a relatively commonplace medical procedure in healthcare settings. The mental health status of the person undergoing surgery is vital, but there is dearth of empirical studies on the mental health status of surgery patients, particularly with regard to the factors associated with anxiety in surgical conditions. This study investigated the roles of religious commitment, emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) and social support...
