Media Use, Viewing Women as Sexual Objects, and Rape Myth Acceptance Among U.S. College Women

Heavier media exposure is associated with greater rape myth acceptance; one explanatory mechanism proposed is the sexual objectification of women. Sexually objectifying content is prevalent in mainstream media, and embracing this perspective of women is linked to dehumanization a...

Factors Protecting Against Co-Occurring Pain, Psychological, and Somatic Symptom Trajectories in Adolescence

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative impact of multilevel protective factors on co-occurring pain, psychological, and somatic symptom (co-PPSS) trajectories from late childhood through early adolescence. METHODS: We conducted secondary analyses of longitudinal Adolescent Brain Co...

High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features: a clinical and genomic analysis of prognostic factors using a large cohort

BACKGROUND: High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP) is a recently defined tumor type that is not well-understood. Prognostic factors of clinical outcomes are not well-established. METHODS: Methylation profiling was performed on tumor samples, many at the National Cance...

Landscape of approaches for streamlining pre-analytical and early analytical variables for solid tumor next-generation sequencing: A Genomics Organization for Academic Laboratories consortium report

The scope of pre-analytical and early analytical methods used in clinical molecular laboratories can have vast effects on the quality and turnaround time for solid tumor next-generation sequencing assays. To learn more about various approaches, a survey of 24 academic laboratorie...

Association of Community Factors, Firearm Laws, and Pediatric Firearm Injuries

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a zip code-level analysis of community measures and firearm legislation associated with pediatric fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries, ordered by strength of association. METHODS: This was an ecological study of 46 states and the District of Columbia from Ja...

It doesn’t always have to be this way: promoting girls’ interest in STEM through growth mindsets and structural explanations of gender differences

Gender gaps in motivation for STEM fields emerge at an early age and generally persist as children become older. Viewing these gender differences in motivation as malleable rather than fixed or inherent may reduce stereotyping and promote girls’ motivation in STEM. The current pa...

Genetic and behavioural repertoires support olfactory communication in wild capuchin monkeys

Olfaction is a key sense for many mammals, but its role in the social lives of anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, humans) is poorly understood. Studies of chemosensory receptor genes and olfactory behaviours can provide insight into the evolution and function of olfaction across...

Appraising familial prediction of proband outcomes in neurogenetic disorders

Abstract Background Gene dosage disorders impact cognition and psychopathology, but outcomes vary widely amongst carriers of the same variant. Recent work has sought to better predict proband outcomes using measures of corresponding traits in family members. However, family-based...

Pre-Diagnostic Plasma Endogenous Steroids and the Risk of Exfoliation Glaucoma

Purpose: Exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) is the most common secondary glaucoma. Prior studies suggest a higher incidence in women and links to reproductive history, implying estrogen-related pathways. Metabolomic data also indicated inverse associations with steroid-related plasma met...

Youth With Eating Disorders Have a Higher 3-Month Rate of Adverse Postoperative Outcomes Following Common Orthopedic Surgeries

Purpose: To quantify surgery-related outcomes among patients ≤21 years old with eating disorders compared with the general youth population without eating disorders. Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified youth up to 21 years of age with and without eating disorders...

Longitudinal Metabolic Risk Factors Are Associated With Microvascular Complications

ABSTRACT Objective Determine associations between summaries of longitudinal metabolic risk factors and microvascular complications. Methods We performed a secondary analysis of participants with and without diabetes enrolled within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study th...

Utility of IL ‐18 Immunohistochemistry in Distinguishing Dermatomyositis and Lupus Erythematosus in Skin Biopsies

ABSTRACT Background Distinction of dermatomyositis ( DM ) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus ( LE ) in skin biopsies is often difficult due to significant histopathologic overlap. Prior transcriptional analysis has identified upregulation of IL ‐18 in DM compared with LE . We aime...

Sex differences in social cognition: Insights from a sample enriched for social dysfunction

Research suggests there are sex differences in social cognitive abilities, with females typically performing better on tasks involving emotion recognition and mental state attribution. However, many prior studies have demonstrated limited replicability, perhaps due to differences...

Markers of microvascular instability predict severity and survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Introduction Most research on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has focused on the interplay among fibroblasts, the immune system and epithelial cells. There is growing evidence that microvascular dysfunction also plays a role in disease progression, but large human translation...

Sharp cell type boundaries emerge from coordinated morphogen signaling

Classic models of the French flag problem depict sharp cell type boundaries emerging from threshold responses to morphogen gradients. How discrete cell type boundaries arise from morphogen signals that vary continuously across developing tissues remains incompletely understood. W...

Thioamide‐Enabled Anodic N‐Centered Radical Cyclizations

An anodic cyclization leading to the 6‐membered ring, bisamine‐heterocyclic core of the chrysosporazine family of efflux inhibitors, has been accomplished. The reactions proceed through a N‐based radical intermediate that is derived from the oxidation of a thioamide anion and ben...

Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition restructures decomposing microbial communities, altering SOM molecular composition, but not molecular complexity or diversity

Soil organic matter (SOM) consists of diverse biochemical constituents, spanning a spectrum of chemical complexity, and the relative abundance of these substrates influences microbial metabolism and soil carbon persistence. However, mechanistic controls governing these processes...

Building better citation practices in public health research: Practical considerations for student researchers, from source discovery to crafting and positioning claims

Discovering, selecting, and citing sources to craft claims is fundamental to public health research and writing. Sources influence our research questions, shape our methodological approaches, connect our work to the broader public health literature, and affect how successfully ou...
