Within the United States, access to gender-affirming operations covered by health insurance has increased dramatically over past decade. However, perpetually changing landscape and inconsistencies of individual state policies governing private public coverage present a lack clarity for reconstructive surgeons other physicians attempting provide care. This work systematically reviewed current U.S. both Medicaid on state-by-state basis. Individual in effect as August 2022 care were using...
Summary: The increase in access to facial gender-affirming surgery has resulted an feminization procedures for transfeminine and gender nonbinary populations. However, refined execution of masculinization is challenged by the lack defined measurements augmentation, long-term predictability autologous bone grafting augmentation procedures, precision traditional with generic alloplastic implants. authors describe innovation using modern reconstructive craniofacial surgical techniques...
Background Suicide attempt is a serious global public health issue. The patterns of suicide may vary depending on the individual characteristics, methods, causes, and geographical area-also socio-cultural context that determine it. This study identifies spatial attempts in Kermanshah province, Iran. Method sample size this cross-sectional 18,331 people (7234 males 11097 females) who attempted province between 2006 2014. Data was collected from records patients referred to emergency...
There is limited research on the role of lifestyle in people living with HIV (PLWH). This study investigated health-promoting among PLWH Kermanshah-Iran. cross-sectional was conducted 321 patients referred to Kermanshah Behavioral Diseases counseling Center between 2017 and 2018. Patients were selected using convenience sampling method. Data collected a standard health promotion profile (HPLP-II) questionnaire. Regression T-tests used SPSS 21 Stata software analyze data. The mean age 41.07 ±...
Objective Investigating the trends of child diarrhea-related mortality (DRM) is crucial to tracking and monitoring progress its prevention control efforts worldwide. This study explores spatial patterns in children under five for designing effective intervention programs. Methods The data used this was obtained from World Health Organization (WHO) public dataset that contained 195 countries year 2000 2017. 13,541,989 DRM cases. worldwide pattern analyzed at country level utilizing geographic...
Abstract Tissue regeneration involves dynamic dialogue between and among different cells their surrounding matrices. Bone is specifically governed by reciprocity osteoblasts osteoclasts within the bone microenvironment. Osteoclast‐directed resorption osteoblast‐directed formation of are essential to remodeling, crosstalk these vital curating a sequence events that culminate in creation tissue. Among biomaterial strategies, many have investigated use material cues direct development activity...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes sphincter pharyngoplasties, including speech outcomes, revision surgeries, and postoperative incidence obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Background: Gender-affirming feminizing hormone therapy induces body fat redistribution. However, the amount and timing of facial changes in response to are unknown, despite being relevant counseling surgical planning for gender-affirming surgery. The authors assessed influence duration on malar temporal volume. Methods: Malar volumes were compared using computed tomography transfeminine patients (age, 20 29 years; mass index, 18.5 24.9) treated with less than 2 years versus or longer....
The COVID-19 pandemic is a severe ongoing health crisisworldwide. Studying the socio-economic impacts of can help policymakers develop successful management plans. This paper focuses on spatial epidemiology among different social classes in Kermanshah metropolis, Iran. cross-sectional study uses data people infected with metropolis 2020, acquired from official Registry Kermanshah. results show that 2013 were (male = 1164 and female 849). mean age patients was 45 ± 18.69. Moran’s I clustered...
Background: Apnea disorder is influenced by social and environmental factors. By assessing its hot spots geography, the foci of this at-risk groups can be identified for health interventions. This study was conducted to investigate spatial pattern apnea using GIS in Kermanshah metropolis. Methods: In cross-sectional kermanshah, statistical population were 119 people (73.95% male 26.05% female) residents, which referred sleep center from 2012 2018 due disorder. Information collected records...
Background A suicide attempt is a major societal problem because it imposes high costs on societies worldwide. This paper analyses the spatiotemporal clustering of in Kermanshah, Iran from 2006–14. Methods study draws 18,333 individuals (7,234 males and 11,097 females) who attempted across Kermanshah province. Data was collected records registered hospitals province between 2006 2014. Mean Center, Standard Deviational Ellipse (SDE), Moran’s I Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) Arc/GIS10.6...
Brow position, hairline shape, and forehead projection may confer cis-feminine identity, facial feminization surgery (FFS) can improve gender dysphoria among transfeminine patients. Depending on the Ousterhout classification, burring, osteotomy, anterior frontal sinus setback, augmentation, with subsequent fixation via metal or bioabsorbable plates, address projection. However, titanium mesh, often used in fracture repair, has not been described for contouring FFS. The purpose of this study...
Abstract Precision material design directed by cell biological processes represents a frontier in developing clinically translatable regenerative technologies. While understanding cell‐material interactions on multipotent progenitor cells yields insights target tissue differentiation, equally if not more important is the quantification of indirect multicellular interactions. In this work, relationship two properties, phosphate content and stiffness, nanoparticulate mineralized collagen...
PURPOSE: Patterns in facial soft tissue distribution and volumes are known to vary based on the assigned gender at birth of individual. In patients who transgender male birth, augmentation via non-surgical surgical methods commonly pursued as part feminization procedures. addition, one effects feminizing hormone therapy (HT) is qualitative changes fat volumes. However, amount change pad secondary HT unknown may affect patient counseling well procedural decision-making. The purpose this study...
PURPOSE: Development of synthetic regenerative materials inspired by the extracellular matrix (ECM) has been a topic significant interest due to known properties ECM direct cell fate determination via tunable material composition and biomechanical properties. Nanoparticulate mineralized collagen glycosaminoglycan (MC-GAG) is low density, open-cell foam that evaluated in our laboratory induce osteogenic differentiation primary osteoprogenitors vitro as well regeneration rabbit skull defects...
PURPOSE: The capabilities of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to instruct progenitor cell fate determination has resulted in a significant interest developing ECM-inspired materials for regenerative applications. We previously reported on ability nanoparticulate mineralized collagen glycosaminoglycan (MC-GAG) promote vitro osteogenic differentiation primary human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as well vivo skull regeneration cell-free, growth factor-free material, suggesting potential MC-GAG...
