These results suggest that preventive and clinical management strategies could vary by sex and obesity status.IMPACT: The current study showed that sex and obesity modify the association between vitamin D and eczema among adolescents.

Relationship between Symptom Burden and HRQOL among Kuwaiti Women Recently Diagnosed with Breast Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest the need for more training for clinicians to diagnose and treat common symptoms. Improved screening tools and psychosocial interventions also need to be developed. Future research should focus on longitudinal data and qualitative methods to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Kuwaiti women's experiences with breast cancer.PMID:37116168 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2023.24.4.1435 (Source: Cancer Control)
