Abstract Background Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (YMSM) are especially vulnerable to the risks associated sexualized substance use, or ‘chemsex’. Engaging in chemsex established as a major risk factor for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) acquisition, is thus public health issue of increasing urgency. This paper attempts explore association between measures social capital patterns use among sample YMSM Singapore. Methods Results this study were derived from baseline...
Purpose: No prior study has been published on suicide-related behaviors among gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GBTQ) men in Singapore, where sexual relations between are criminalized. This explores the association mediational pathways experienced homophobia suicidal ideation or suicide attempts young GBTQ Singapore. Methods: Results of this were derived from baseline data Pink Carpet Y Cohort Study, Singapore's first prospective cohort men. The sample comprised 570 18 to 25 years age...
Abstract Background Gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men are frequently subjected to minority stressors that have negative impacts on their health. Milestones include the acceptance disclosure of sexual identity amongst GBQ hence key instruments in understanding prevalence internalised homophobia predicting health outcomes. As such, this work takes a novel approach deduce correlates delayed orientation young as measure through retrospective self-reporting age-based analysis. Methods...
Abstract Background Young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (YMSM) are vulnerable to the risks associated sexualized substance use. This is a novel study in Singapore that aims classify patterns of use among YMSM, investigate its association sexual mental health outcomes. Methods In this cross-sectional 570 YMSM aged 18 25 years old, latent class analysis (LCA) conducted identify classes similar use, across which measures inconsistent condom recent STI diagnoses, past suicide...
Background: The Vietnamese American Gulf Coast communities have experienced recent disasters, including both hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon (BP) Oil Spill. objectives of this study were to examine impact 2010 Spill on offer recommendations how effectively work with underserved population. Method: Focus groups held coastal residents three affected US States (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi) assess oil spill disaster in areas economic hardship, family functioning, behavioral...
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (GBMSM) are at disproportionately higher risk of acquiring HIV sexually transmitted infections (STI). While HIV/STI testing rates among GBMSM increasing worldwide, they remain suboptimal in a variety settings. many studies attempted to evaluate the efficacy community-based campaigns, including peer reminder-based interventions on testing, however few do so for web drama series.This study evaluates effectiveness popular video series developed by...
Gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men are at disproportionately higher risk of acquiring HIV other sexually transmitted infections (STI). While HIV/STI testing rates among GBQ increasing worldwide, they remain suboptimal in a variety settings. The study is pragmatic randomised controlled trial designed to evaluate an online video series developed by community-based organisation Singapore for men. A total 300 HIV-negative aged 18-29 years old will be recruited this study. Participants...
Coastal communities along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico have been profoundly shaped by environmental health (EH) threats, reflecting region's history natural and technological disasters, as well ongoing issues degradation pollution. The Vietnamese American community in state Mississippi is vulnerable to EH but there limited research on their risk perceptions. Understanding perceptions responsibility important manage risks promote resilience. This community-based participatory study characterises...
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in select patients, although dislocation remains a concern. In some studies, supercapsular percutaneously assisted (SuperPATH) approach has demonstrated early mobilization, short hospital stay, and low rates primary THA, but there are little data on its use fractures. This study describes perioperative outcomes rate of SuperPATH THA fragility fractures.A retrospective review was performed previous...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast's Vietnamese community (MSGCVC) has repeatedly experienced physical, psychological, and economic hardship from natural man-made disasters downturn. Literature suggests that strain is the greatest contributor to population vulnerability. Previous literature focused on aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, urban communities. A photovoice project was conducted measure causes consequences vulnerability social resiliency by identifying sources...
Minority gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men face not only stigma from the general population based on their sexual orientation, but as well race, body type gender identity.

Abstract Background Dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has an incidence of 2–3%. Approximately 77% dislocations occur within the first year surgery. The SuperPATH technique is a minimally invasive approach for THA that preserves soft tissue attachments. purpose this study to describe dislocation rate at 1 THA. Methods All elective THAs performed by senior author using approach. Exclusion criteria were acute femoral neck fracture, revision surgery, or malignancy. There 214...
Background: Resiliency is the ability to prepare for, recover from, and adapt stressors from adverse events. Social vulnerabilities (limited access resources, political power, representation; lack of social capital; aspects built environment; health inequities; being in certain demographic categories) can impact resiliency. The Vietnamese population living along Mississippi Gulf Coast a community that has unique their be resilient Objectives: purpose this project was address vulnerability by...
Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is common to multiple renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtypes, including chromophobe RCC (ChRCC), and associated with increased aggressiveness, resistance targeted therapies, heightened sensitivity immunotherapy. To study ChRCC dedifferentiation, we performed multiregion integrated paired pathological genomic analyses. Interestingly, dedifferentiates not only into sarcomatoid but also anaplastic glandular which are similarly aggressiveness metastases....
