Youths have experienced disruptions to school and home life since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020. During January-June 2021, CDC conducted Adolescent Behaviors Experiences Survey (ABES), an online survey of a probability-based, nationally representative sample U.S. public- private-school students grades 9-12 (N = 7,705). ABES data were used estimate prevalence adverse experiences during pandemic, including parental personal job loss, homelessness, hunger, emotional or physical...
Background. We report the first-in-human safety and immunogenicity assessment of a prototype Ad26 vector-based human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine in humans.
In a prospective, randomized trial, teicoplanin (at 400-mg intravenous loading dose followed by 200 mg/day intravenously or intramuscularly) was compared with flucloxacillin (8 g/day) in patients severe staphylococcal infections. Teicoplanin proved unsatisfactory for the following reasons: (1) failures relapses were more frequent group, and (2) blood levels difficult to predict tended be low 24 hr after dose. Future trials this agent should use much-higher doses.
Abstract A 24-kDa protein of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease, is recognized by antisera from both humans and experimental animals infected with this organism. Near its C terminus are two regions have sequence similarity several Ca2+-binding proteins conform to E-F hand structure. We expressed a cDNA encoding in Escherichia coli showed recombinant native trypanosome do indeed bind Ca2+. The protein's low capacity (less than 2 mol Ca2+/mol protein) high...
Abstract: Background. The COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescents' sexual and reproductive health (SRH) behaviors access to services. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2021 Adolescent Behaviors Experiences Survey (n=7,705) on activity, condom contraceptive use, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. tested differences in SRH outcomes by demographics, racism experience, English proficiency. Results. Current activity was higher among students reporting ever experiencing at school...
Using the survey responses of 522 married men (eighteen to fifty-one years) in Vietnam, we explored how gendered social learning boyhood and challenges men’s expected status marriage may increase risk that perpetrate intimate partner violence (IPV) against their wives. Over one-third (36.6 percent) participants reported having ever perpetrated psychological, physical, or sexual IPV current wife. Accounting for other characteristics sample, witnessing as a boy, being physically maltreated...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) harms the health of women and their children. In Vietnam, 31% report lifetime exposure to physical IPV, surprisingly, justify IPV against wives more often than do men. We compare men's women's rates finding good reason for wife hitting assess whether differences in childhood experiences resources constraints adulthood account observed differences. Probability samples married men ( n = 522) 533) were surveyed Vietnam. Ordered logit models assessed proportional...
Stimulation of human neutrophils by the receptor agonist N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) results in a respiratory burst, catalysed an NADPH oxidase. Concomitantly, phospholipase D (PLD) is activated. To investigate role protein kinase C (PKC) these neutrophil responses, we have compared effects staurosporine and structural analogue (cgp41251), that reflects higher selectivity towards PKC [Meyer, Regenass, Fabbro, Alteri, Rösel, Müller, Caravatti Matter (1989) Int. J. Cancer 43,...
Sphinganine has been proposed to be a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C. In the present study we have evaluated whether sphinganine is convenient tool probe for role C in neutrophil function.Human neutrophils were loaded with fluorescent quin2 and then tested parallel cytosolic free Ca2+, [Ca'+], membrane potential changes, 0 2 production, exocytosis primary granules (containing @-glucuronidase) response various stimuli.In addition inhibiting 0; production dose-dependent manner, also...
Addressing sexual assault on university and college campuses in the United States is a national priority. To date, research campus overwhelmingly focuses students as objects of study: survivors, perpetrators, bystanders assault. This focus has largely overlooked who act agents change, mobilizing to alter norms around consent, prevention, survivor support, institutional response. In this article, we encourage feminist scholars incorporate advocates against invite be collaborators research. We...
Economic coercion refers to behaviors that control an intimate partner’s ability acquire, use, and maintain economic resources. Little is known about in Vietnam. Using survey responses from 533 married women ages 18 50 years, we estimated multinomial logistic regression models compare the determinants of exposure only, co-occurring coercion, any psychological, physical, or sexual partner violence (IPV), IPV relative no exposure. Women who, their childhood, witnessed physical against mother...
Our objective was to examine the multilevel correlates of women's justification wife beating in Bangladesh, a form intimate partner violence (IPV). We focus on individual-level schooling, community-level media exposure among women and their interaction.A cross-sectional study using data from 2011 Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey. sample included 17 749 ever-married 15-49 years 600 communities. fit 6 logistic regression models factors associated with justifying IPV; focusing woman's...
The COVID-19 pandemic created an environment of disruption and adversity for many adolescents. We sought to establish the prevalence non-dating sexual violence, dating physical violence victimization among adolescents during investigate whether experiences placed at greater risk these forms interpersonal violence. conducted a secondary analysis data from Adolescent Behavior Experiences Survey, collected January June 2021 nationally representative sample U.S. high school students (N = 7,705)....
Creating a normative campus environment intolerant to sexual violence is important for prevention. While prevention initiatives focusing on students are vital, faculty and staff have central role in supporting sustaining comprehensive strategy preventing violence. Nationwide, colleges universities recently implemented climate surveys. At Emory, we decided survey as well students, motivated by our use of an ecological framing Faculty long-term members the community, can provide stability...
