Benefits and burdens of daily sacrifices and commitment in same- and different-gender couples: Explorations of proximity and direction of effects.

Research and theory document links between sacrifices and commitment in couples, yet the direction of effects remains unclear. Whereas interdependence theorists suggest that sacrifices help couples to build commitment, other scholars have suggested that being committed leads partners to sacrifice for each other. Nearly all research in this area has focused on men and women in different-gender relationships with each other.

Coping with Type 2 diabetes: Commonly used strategies associated with mental wellbeing and treatment engagement.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common, chronic condition. People with T2D often report poor mental wellbeing and treatment engagement, especially when stressed. Coping mechanisms may help manage stress, but it is crucial to identify which strategies are most common and (mal)adaptive.

Use of Internal Bracing in Multi-ligamentous Knee Injury Reconstruction: A Systematic Review.

Background: Multi-ligament Knee Injuries (MLKI) are often caused by a high-energy impact resulting in dislocation of the knee joint. Given the higher degree of instability associated with these MLKIs, surgical fixation with adjunctive internal bracing and the use of suture augmentation have been proposed with the intention of better restoring knee stability and improving the long-term outcomes of surgery. This systematic review seeks to appraise the current literature in relation to the role of internal bracing in the management of MLKI.

Investigating the Invisible: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Testing the Entertainment-Education Model to Provide a PrEP Education Intervention to Kink-Involved Populations.

A growing proportion of the global population engages in alternative sexual behaviors and relationships, which are commonly grouped and known as kink or BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, sadism-masochism). Mainstream stigma and provider pathologizing of these behaviors and relationships may make kink-involved populations reticent to seek health care treatment. Moreover, some kink activities appear to expose kink-involved people to higher risks for HIV infection.

Associations between misgendering, invalidation, pride, community connectedness, and trauma among nonbinary adults.

Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people experience elevated rates of posttraumatic stress (PTS) due to transphobic violence, discrimination, microaggressions, and minority stress. Nonbinary people in particular experience unique chronic minority stressors (e.g.
