Alterations of the cerebral microstructure in patients with noise ‐induced hearing loss: A diffusion tensor imaging study
ConclusionThe changes in the white matter (WM) microstructure may be related to hearing loss caused by noise exposure, and the WM structural abnormalities in patients with NIHL were mainly located in the syndesmotic fibers of the temporooccipital region, which affected the auditory and language pathways. This confirmed that the auditory pathways have abnormal structural connectivity in patients with NIHL. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Understanding trauma as contextualized adverse life events that threaten the individual: Commentary in response to Marx et al. (2024)
AbstractIn this commentary, I propose that a person-oriented and research-focused approach can stimulate the discussion on the definition of a traumatic stressor and help to refine Criterion A in theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Particularly, I suggest that a contextual perspective focusing on the interaction between event features and person-related factors captures more adequately the individual perception of and cognitions related to extremely threatening adverse life events for a diversity of individuals exposed to trauma. In future debate, I encourage the involvement of patients and the ...

Does gestational diabetes mellitus increase the risk of cardiovascular disease? A Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionWomen with a prior history of GDM face an elevated risk of future CAD. This increased risk of CAD cannot be solely attributed to the subsequent onset of diabetes. Regular CAD risk assessment and primary prevention strategies are of paramount importance for women with a history of GDM. (Source: Journal of Endocrinological Investigation)

Trauma History Questionnaire: validation with novel samples of incarcerated women and perinatal women
Women Health. 2024 Apr 22:1-12. doi: 10.1080/03630242.2024.2344503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrauma exposure is associated with numerous negative outcomes, many of which are amplified within at-risk populations. Two under-researched and at-risk populations, incarcerated women and perinatal women, both report high rates of trauma, psychopathology, and PTSD compared to the general population. One common measure of trauma exposure in various populations, including incarcerated women and perinatal women, is the Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ). However, no known studies have validated the THQ within these two unique, un...

Get active now or later? The association between physical activity and risk and time preferences
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Apr 20:102650. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102650. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the well-established link between physical activity and positive health outcomes, much of the world's population remains inactive. Many people don't invest in health behaviours, such as physical activity, in the present, despite the long-term benefits of this. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between physical activity levels and risk and time preferences in university students. A maximum likelihood model was used to jointly estimate risk and time preferences (elicited in an incentivised ...

Clinical significance of the CXCL8/CXCR1/R2 signalling axis in patients with invasive breast cancer
Oncol Lett. 2024 Apr 10;27(6):260. doi: 10.3892/ol.2024.14393. eCollection 2024 Jun.ABSTRACTThe C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8)-C-X-C chemokine receptor (CXCR)1/2 signalling axis is among numerous mechanisms which stimulate the immune system to defend against tumour growth and influence the tumour microenvironment to promote tumour growth. This pathway plays an important role in the development of a number of cancers including breast cancer (BC). The aim of the present study was to analyse the levels of the chemokine CXCL8 and its receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, in the serum of female patients with invasive BC and to as...

Morphometric study of the legs of the main Chagas vector, Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
We described morphometric traits and the natural variation of each leg segment. Different linear, size and shape variables of each component of the three right legs of fifth instar nymphs of T. infestans were analyzed using morphometric tools. We analyzed differentiation, variation and correlation for each segment across the fore-, mid and hind legs using different statistical approaches such as general linear model, canonical variates analysis, test of equality of coefficient of variation and partial least square analysis. We also analyzed variation and correlation between segments within each leg with partial least squar...

Perception gaps of patient engagement for patient safety between healthcare professionals and the public in Korea
CONCLUSIONS: The healthcare professionals' perception of patient engagement was more positive than that of the public. To narrow the perception gaps and enhance the public's perception, strategies involving changes in healthcare systems, promotional efforts, and educational initiatives should be developed. Additionally, strategies should be formulated for healthcare professionals to better engage as partners in patient care.PMID:38646669 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2024.2346334 (Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion)
