Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection affecting women worldwide. Reports of patterns/risk factors/trends for episodic/recurrent VVC (RVVC) are largely outdated. The purpose this study was to obtain current patient perspectives several aspects VVC/RVVC. Business cards containing on-line survey information were distributed healthy volunteers and patients seeking standard, elective, or referral gynecologic care in university-affiliated Obstetrics/Gynecology clinics....
Mediation refers to the effect transmitted by mediators that intervene in relationship between an exposure and a response variable. analysis has been broadly studied many fields. However, it remains challenge for researchers consider complicated associations among variables differentiate individual effects from multiple mediators. [1] proposed general definitions of mediation were adaptable all different types (categorical or continuous), exposure, variables. With these definitions, can be...
<h3>Importance</h3> Early-onset colorectal cancer incidence rates among patients aged 45 to 49 years have been considered much lower compared with the 50 54 years, prompting debate about earlier screening benefits at years. However, observed in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries may underestimate case burdens those younger than older because average-risk is generally not performed detect preclinical cases of cancer. Finding steep increases invasive stage (beyond...
<h3>Background</h3> Given the growing availability of multilevel data from national surveys, researchers interested in contextual effects may find themselves with a small number individuals per group. Although there is body literature on sample size modelling, few have explored impact group sizes less than five. <h3>Methods</h3> In simulated analysis real data, five was examined both continuous and dichotomous outcome simple two-level model. Models one to were compared models complete data....
Mediation analysis allows the examination of effects a third variable in pathway between an exposure and outcome. The general multiple mediation method, proposed by Yu et al, improves traditional methods (eg, estimation natural controlled direct effects) to enable consideration mediators/confounders simultaneously use linear nonlinear predictive models for estimating mediation/confounding effects. In this paper, we extend method time‐to‐event outcomes apply explore racial disparity breast...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive, heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer, which more frequently diagnosed in African American (AA) women than European (EA) women. The purpose this study to investigate the role social determinants racial disparities TNBC. Data on Louisiana TNBC patients 2010-2012 were collected and geocoded census tract residence at diagnosis by Tumor Registry. Using multilevel statistical models, we analyzed neighborhood concentrated disadvantage index...
Persistent postconcussion syndrome (PPCS) after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a significant public health and military problem for which there limited treatment evidence. The aim of this study was to determine whether forty 150 kPa hyperbaric oxygen therapies (HBOTs) can improve symptoms cognitive function in subjects with the PPCS mTBI, using randomized controlled crossover design 2-month follow-up. Sixty-three civilian mTBI/PPCS were either 40 HBOTs at kPa/60 minutes, once daily, 5...
Many previous studies have suggested a link between alcohol outlets and assaultive violence. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of 1992 Civil Unrest in Los Angeles (which followed Rodney King incident), which many were damaged leading to decrease outlet density, on crime. We leverage natural experiment created by closure certain areas not others explore effects availability assault crimes at census tract level. develop hierarchical model that controls for important covariates (such as...
This study reports 3-y outcomes of a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. Resin infiltration’s capacity to arrest caries lesion progression in noncavitated proximal lesions is affirmed. Forty-two consented young adults, blinded tooth surface allocation, were treated with resin infiltration on 1 randomly selected and concurrently experienced mock procedure another. Both treatments provided as an adjunct the currently accepted standard-of-care regimen (periodic prophylaxis serial fluoride...
High-fidelity simulation (HFS) operating room (OR) inter-professional team training improves healthcare students’ team-based attitudes and behaviours. Such improvements can diminish tribalism among the professions in OR by overcoming entrenched perceptions of members. We investigated whether simulation-based interprofessional student impacts students differently based on their professional background. From 2010 to 2013, HFS sessions were conducted involving senior medical students,...
Ivo is a bispecific antibody with cooperative binding to enhance affinity PD-1 and VEGF, as yet undefined in IC activity. This analysis assesses activity of ivo pts BMs at baseline (BL) who received +/- PC first line systemic therapy for aNSCLC. Pts aNSCLC any histology, no prior cancer, performance status 0-1 were eligible combined or alone on the AK112-201 AK112-202 trials, respectively, enrolled from 2 centers China. was continued up 4 cycles AK112-201, while until progressing disease...
ABSTRACT 4,4′‐Diaminodiphenylmethane (DAPM) is an aromatic amine used in the industrial synthesis of polyurethane. In rats, acute DAPM exposure induces biliary epithelial cell injury liver, but subchronic promotes a female‐specific pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH humans four times more prevalent women than men. To shed light on mechanisms explaining female selectivity humans, we examined molecular pathways underlying DAPM‐induced rats. Intersections between DAPM‐mediated hepatic...
Abstract Previous research demonstrated Non-Hispanic Black populations experience higher COVID-19 mortality rates than White individuals. Additionally, cancer status is a known risk factor for death. While prior studies investigated comorbidities as exploratory variables in differences hospitalization, none have explored their role COVID-19-related deaths. This study aimed to evaluate whether Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and subsequently, individual diseases are potential explanatory...
Abstract Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous malignancy with poor prognosis limited treatment options, presenting significant clinical challenge. Current therapeutic strategies are insufficient to address the complexities of TNBC. In previous study, we identified human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) signaling as key driver TNBC progression potential target. However, exact mechanisms through which HER3 contributes remain...
