Ovarian cancer is considered the most fatal and costly gynecologic cancer. Although personalized therapies have improved ovarian cancer prognosis, they have resulted in increased financial toxicity concerns among this population. This study evaluated financial toxicity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Using secondary data from a study of barriers to palliative care, financial toxicity (FT) was measured through the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity scale. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to assess the relationship between selected demographic (i...

BACKGROUND: Delay time to hospital arrival may be influenced by lack of recognition of stroke signs and the necessity to seek emergency medical, which in turn is influenced by language barriers to, a modifiable risk factor, stroke awareness education. The objective was to determine the comprehension and satisfaction of a Spanish stroke awareness acronym, RÁPIDO, among community-living, Hispanic and Latino, Spanish-reading adults. METHODS: A 33-item survey was completed by 166 adults. Data on sociodemographics, language preferences, stroke education, and comprehension and satisfaction with RÁPIDO were collected...

A network of regulatory innovations brings a holistic approach to improving the submission, assessment, and lifecycle management of pharmaceutical quality information in the U.S. This dedicated effort in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) aims to enhance the quality assessment of submissions for new drugs, generic drugs, and biological products including biosimilars. These regulatory innovations include developing or contributing: (i) the Knowledge-Aided Assessment and Structured Application (KASA), (ii) a new common technical document for quality (ICH M4Q(R2)), (iii) structured data on Pharmaceutical Quality/Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (PQ/CMC), (iv) Integrated Quality Assessment (IQA), (v) the Quality Surveillance Dashboard (QSD), and (vi) the Established Conditions tool from the ICH Q12 guideline...

IMPORTANCE: Inguinal hernia repair in preterm infants is common and is associated with considerable morbidity. Whether the inguinal hernia should be repaired prior to or after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit is controversial. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of early vs late surgical repair for preterm infants with an inguinal hernia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A multicenter randomized clinical trial including preterm infants with inguinal hernia diagnosed during initial hospitalization was conducted between September 2013 and April 2021 at 39 US hospitals...

Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trapping as a lens to view mammal responses to changes in human activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across 163 species sampled in 102 projects around the world, changes in the amount and timing of animal activity varied widely. Under higher human activity, mammals were less active in undeveloped areas but unexpectedly more active in developed areas while exhibiting greater nocturnality...

IMPORTANCE: Maternal milk feeding of extremely preterm infants during the birth hospitalization has been associated with better neurodevelopmental outcomes compared with preterm formula. For infants receiving no or minimal maternal milk, it is unknown whether donor human milk conveys similar neurodevelopmental advantages vs preterm formula. OBJECTIVE: To determine if nutrient-fortified, pasteurized donor human milk improves neurodevelopmental outcomes at 22 to 26 months' corrected age compared with preterm infant formula among extremely preterm infants who received minimal maternal milk...

Although both short and long sleep duration are associated with elevated hypertension risk, our understanding of their interplay with biological pathways governing blood pressure remains limited. To address this, we carried out genome-wide cross-population gene-by-short-sleep and long-sleep duration interaction analyses for three blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressure) in 811,405 individuals from diverse population groups. We discover 22 novel gene-sleep duration interaction loci for blood pressure, mapped to genes involved in neurological, thyroidal, bone metabolism, and hematopoietic pathways...

INTRODUCTION: Premenopausal women with high-risk hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer often receive ovarian function suppression (OFS) and anti-estrogen therapy which induces near complete estrogen deprivation (NCED). This treatment improves recurrence-free survival but may increase cardiovascular risk. We sought to identify patterns of cardiovascular care and outcomes in premenopausal women with operable breast cancer. METHODS: Premenopausal women ≤ 50 years of age with stage I-III HR-positive or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were identified by retrospective review...

BACKGROUND: Many people living with and beyond cancer (LWBC) do not meet dietary recommendations. To implement a healthier diet, people LWBC must perceive a need to improve their diet. METHODS: Participants included people diagnosed with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer in the UK. Two binary logistic regression models were conducted with perceived need for dietary change as the outcome (need to improve vs. no need). Predictor variables included demographic and clinical characteristics, receipt of dietary advice, and either body mass index (BMI) or adherence to seven relevant World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) dietary recommendations...

BACKGROUND: Increased activity across corticostriatal glutamatergic synapses may contribute to L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease. Given the weak efficacy and side-effect profile of amantadine, alternative strategies to reduce glutamate transmission are being investigated. Metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGlu4) is a promising target since its activation would reduce glutamate release. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that two mGlu4 positive allosteric modulators, Lu AF21934 ((1 S,2 R) N1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxamide) and ADX88178 (5-Methyl-N-(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)-4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)thiazol-2-amine), would provide relief in rat and primate models of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia...

BACKGROUND AND GOALS: One of the biggest difficulties facing healthcare systems today is the prevalence of multiple chronic diseases (MCC). Mortality and the development of new chronic illnesses are more likely in those with MCC. Pre-existing diseases and risk factors specific to the patient have an impact on the complex stochastic process that guides the evolution of MCC.
