Abstract There are over 1 million transgender people living in the United States, and 33% report negative experiences with a healthcare provider, many of which connected to data representation electronic health records (EHRs). We present recommendations common pitfalls involving sex- gender-related collection EHRs. Our leverage needs patients, medical providers, researchers optimize both individual patient efficacy reproducibility EHR population-based studies. also briefly discuss adequate...
In the midst of current coronavirus pandemic, United States continues to struggle with an ongoing opioid epidemic, initially fueled by widespread prescribing medications during 1990s.The primary reason for opioids is treat pain.Women have more acute and chronic pain been prescribed these drugs in significantly greater numbers than men.Comparison women men also shows that receive majority prescription opioids, use became major pathway misuse addiction women.Yet, recognition extent women's...
The gynecological disease endometriosis is characterized by the deposition and proliferation of endometrial cells outside uterus clinically linked to low body mass index (BMI). Gene expression in liver these women has not been reported. We hypothesized that may impact hepatic gene expression, promoting a BMI. To determine effect on we induced female mice suturing donor mouse endometrium into peritoneal cavity measuring weight mice. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning showed...
Abstract Background Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent, inflammatory disorder occurring in 5–10% of reproductive-aged women. Women with endometriosis have a lower body mass index (BMI) and decreased fat compared to those without the disease, yet few studies focused on metabolic abnormalities adipose tissue women endometriosis. Previously, we identified microRNAs that are differentially expressed altered serum disease. Here explore effect role for endometriosis-related metabolism...
Abstract Objective Literature suggests that transgender, non‐binary, and/or gender expansive (TNG) people are more likely than cisgender peers to experience eating disorders (EDs) and engage in dangerous weight control behaviors. TNG individuals with EDs dramatically higher risk for self‐harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, behaviors or without EDs, often ED symptoms/behaviors alleviate dysphoria. Yet, no treatment paradigms have yet been adapted TNG‐specific care. This qualitative study aims...
AbstractIntroduction: Among transgender, non-binary, and/or gender expansive (TNG) persons, interest in medical surgical forms of affirmation is heterogenous, as access to those medically necessary health care. Yet, the literature characterizing TNG persons' gender-affirming care, barriers accessing that and how societal narratives expectations impact individuals' self-image mental health, well their personal choices regarding care remains sparse. Here we present qualitative research...
Abstract Background Transgender, non-binary, and/or gender expansive (TNG) individuals experience disproportionately high rates of mental illness and unique barriers to accessing psychiatric care. Integrating TNG-specific care with other physical health services may improve engagement, but little published literature describes patient clinician perspectives on such models Here we present a formative evaluation aiming inform future projects integrating for TNG individuals. Methods In this...
Cross-sex hormone therapy (XHT) is widely used by transgender people to alter secondary sex characteristics match their desired gender presentation. Here, we investigate the long-term effects of XHT on bone health using a murine model. Female mice underwent ovariectomy at either 6 or 10 wk and began weekly testosterone vehicle injections. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was performed (20 wk) measure mineral density (BMD), microcomputed tomography compare femoral cortical trabecular...
Abstract The contributions of estradiol and testosterone to atherosclerotic lesion progression are not entirely understood. Cross-sex hormone therapy (XHT) for transgender individuals dramatically alters estrogen levels consequently could have widespread consequences cardiovascular health. Yet, no preclinical research has assessed atherosclerosis risk after XHT. We examined the effects XHT ovariectomy on plaque formation in female mice evaluated whether adding low-dose cross-sex treatments...
Purpose: Otolaryngologists are uniquely situated to provide sexual and gender minority (SGM) care, including gender-affirmation (voice/communication, facial surgery) HIV/AIDS-related conditions. Yet, no research has characterized otolaryngology residency program directors' attitudes toward SGM-related curricula, nor opportunities for supporting training in care. Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional e-mail survey was disseminated 116 directors July-September 2019. Information collected...
The Toba/Qom of Namqom are an indigenous community native to the Gran Chaco region northern Argentina. Historically seminomadic foragers, diet peri-urban members has rapidly changed from high-protein, high-fiber hypercaloric, processed. This study aims understand impact this nutritional transition on aspects women's health by exploring relationship between prevalence anemia and current composition, place birth, reproductive history.We measured capillary hemoglobin (Hb) levels 153 adult...
This paper presents a survey tool for assessing undergraduate STEM environments at institutions of higher learning. Such surveys typically appear in methodology sections focused, hypothesis-driven papers written by and education studies specialists. We sought to compose different kind tool, one that enables instructors, nonspecialists educational research, probe climate their broad, exploratory terms. accomplished this goal assembling diverse research team students faculty, those who...
