Do clinical practice guidelines incorporate sex and gender evidence?

Although the translation of sex and gender evidence into clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) is strongly advised by specialists, this commitment may be limited to presenting findings on women for specific diseases and topics. The inclusion of sex and gender evidence should deploy available data on health and illness, taking human diversity into consideration, especially when drafting CPGs. This work examines 21 guidelines from Spanish CPGs from 2018 to 2022, scraping sex and gender evidence across documents under the lens of 59 keywords related to sex and gender.

Work-Life Balance and Teleworking: Lessons Learned during the Pandemic on Gender Role Transformation and Self-Reported Well-Being.

Lockdown during COVID-19 forced the emergence of a new scenario, with men and women teleworkers spending all their time at home. The purpose of this study is to address whether this situation has triggered a transformation in gender roles and self-reported well-being, comparing the responses of male and female respondents to the EUROFOUND April to July 2020 survey. The analysis addresses cultural differences across European regions related to diverse gender regimes, employment status, and the possibility of teleworking.

Longitudinal Chromatic Aberration in Patients Implanted With Trifocal Diffractive Hydrophobic IOLs.

Purpose: To measure the in vivo longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) from the chromatic difference of focus (480 to 700 nm) using psychophysical methods in patients bilaterally implanted with a hydrophobic trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods: Psychophysical best focus was measured in both eyes at different wavelengths (480 to 700 nm) and at three different viewing distances (0.00, +1.

Optical and Visual Quality With Physical and Visually Simulated Presbyopic Multifocal Contact Lenses.

Purpose: As multifocal contact lenses (MCLs) expand as a solution for presbyopia correction, a better understanding of their optical and visual performance becomes essential. Also, providing subjects with the experience of multifocal vision before contact lens fitting becomes critical, both to systematically test different multifocal designs and to optimize selection in the clinic. In this study, we evaluated the ability of a simultaneous vision visual simulator (SimVis) to represent MCLs.

VioBio lab adaptive optics: technology and applications by women vision scientists.

Purpose: Adaptive Optics allows measurement and manipulation of the optical aberrations of the eye. We review two Adaptive Optics set-ups implemented at the Visual Optics and Biophotonics Laboratory, and present examples of their use in better understanding of the role of optical aberrations on visual perception, in normal and treated eyes.

Recent Findings: Two systems (AOI and AOII) are described that measure ocular aberrations with a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor, which operates in closed-loop with an electromagnetic deformable mirror, and visual stimuli are projected in a visual display for psychophysical measurements.

Accelerated Researchers: Psychosocial Risks in Gendered Institutions in Academia.

In recent decades, scientific institutions have undergone significant changes due to new managerialism and the application of excellence in research. This research model has given rise to tensions related to increasing pressures and working demands in a competitive international environment that accelerate the pace of academic life. In addition, precarious working conditions and job insecurity have affected academics' lives and careers.

[Costs in hand amputations derived from labor injuries].

Background: Hand injuries by labor accidents are first rank. It is necessary to have a multidisciplinary medical approach to frequently generated temporary and permanent disabilities that affect costs to an institution and to enterprise.

Objective: To determine the direct cost (DC) and the indirect cost (IC) of complete and partial amputations in hand caused by labor injuries.
