Diagnostic outcomes after colposcopy at a tertiary clinic for women aged 50-74 referred after detection of oncogenic human papillomavirus at primary screening.

Aims: To examine outcomes in women aged 50-74 years after detection of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) at cervical screening.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study of 464 women seen in the Royal Women's Hospital Colposcopy Clinic from 1 January 2018 to 31 July 2020, 292 (62.9%) were positive for HPV16/18 and 172 (37.

Patients Surviving Critical COVID-19 have Impairments in Dual-task Performance Related to Post-intensive Care Syndrome.

Objective: The purpose was to examine Dual Task (DT) performance in patients surviving severe and critical COVID-19 compared to patients with chronic lung disease (CLD). Secondarily, we aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test in patients surviving COVID-19.

Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational study.

Safety and Feasibility of an Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach to Optimize Recovery From Critical Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Objectives: Examine the safety and feasibility of a multimodal in-person or telehealth treatment program, administered in acute recovery phase for patients surviving critical coronavirus disease 2019.

Design: Pragmatic, pre-post, nonrandomized controlled trial with patients electing enrollment into one of the two recovery pathways.

Setting: ICU Recovery Clinic in an academic medical center.

Primary HPV cervical screening: Clinical audit of outcomes of women seen at a tertiary referral centre for colposcopy in Australia.

Background: Primary human papillomavirus (HPV) screening was introduced in Australia in December 2017.

Aims: Outcomes for women after positive HPV in their cervical screening test (CST).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study of 4458 women seen at the Royal Women's Hospital Colposcopy Clinic from 1 January 2018 to 31 July 2020.

Physical Therapy Management of an Individual With Post-COVID Syndrome: A Case Report.

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to provide the clinical presentation and physical therapist management for a patient with post-COVID syndrome. Secondarily, the report highlights the importance of assessing cognitive and emotional health in patients with post-COVID syndrome.

Methods (case Description): A 37-year-old woman tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and developed mild COVID-19 disease but did not require supplemental oxygen or hospitalization.

Examining the disconnect between prolactin and parental care in avian brood parasites.

Prolactin is often referred to as the "parental hormone" but there are examples in which prolactin and parental behavior are disconnected. One intriguing example is in avian obligate brood parasites; species exhibiting high circulating prolactin but no parental care. To understand this disconnect, we examined transcriptional and behavioral responses to prolactin in brown-headed (Molothrus ater) and bronzed (M aeneus) brood parasitic cowbirds.

Hostility and cognitive control: Evidence of increased cardiovascular reactivity as a function of exposure to affective stress using a dichotic listening paradigm.

Indices of cognitive control were examined in men with high and low levels of trait hostility as a function of exposure to affective and cognitive stress. A dual concurrent task paradigm was used whereby participants intentionally directed focus to the left or right ear under dichotic listening conditions before and after exposure to angry infant vocalizations. Analysis of the behavioral data supports the prediction of reduced right frontal regulatory control in men with high levels of hostility as indicated by diminished capacity to suppress report of phonemes presented to the language dominant left hemisphere (right ear) in the Focus Left condition.

The growth of maternal-fetal emotional attachment in pregnant adolescents: a prospective cohort study.

Study Objective: To describe self-reported maternal-fetal emotional attachment in adolescent women over the course of pregnancy, compare it with adult pregnant women, and identify risk factors for poor attachment.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Setting: Young mothers' clinics in 2 public hospitals in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia.

What are we screening for? Development of a psychiatric referral tool for use with adolescent pregnant women.

Objective: Psychiatric disorders commonly occur during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, posing substantial risks to both mother and unborn child. Consequently, screening for maternal psychiatric disorder during pregnancy and in the postnatal period has been advocated. In this paper, we describe the development and evaluation of a screening tool for use with a 'high risk' demographic group--adolescent women seeking maternity care.

Choline transporter gene variation is associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) plays a critical role in brain circuits mediating motor control, attention, learning and memory. Cholinergic dysfunction is associated with multiple brain disorders including Alzheimer's Disease, addiction, schizophrenia and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The presynaptic choline transporter (CHT, SLC5A7) is the major, rate-limiting determinant of ACh production in the brain and periphery and is consequently upregulated during tasks that require sustained attention.

Novel and functional norepinephrine transporter protein variants identified in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable disorder of impaired behavioral inhibition, increased motor activity, and inattention. The norepinephrine transporter (NET, SLC6A2) represents an important candidate gene for contribution to ADHD because it regulates catecholamine extracellular and tissue concentrations and contributes to executive functions disrupted in ADHD, and NET is a target for most effective ADHD therapeutics. We identified four NET coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two ADHD sample sets; two SNPs produce protein variants (T283M, V245I), one of which, T283M, is a novel variant.

A polymorphism in the norepinephrine transporter gene alters promoter activity and is associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The norepinephrine transporter critically regulates both neurotransmission and homeostasis of norepinephrine in the nervous system. In this study, we report a previously uncharacterized and common A/T polymorphism at -3081 upstream of the transcription initiation site of the human norepinephrine transporter gene [solute carrier family 6, member 2 (SLC6A2)]. Using both homologous and heterologous promoter-reporter constructs, we found that the -3081(T) allele significantly decreases promoter function compared with the A allele.

Impact of demographic factors, early family relationships and depressive symptomatology in teenage pregnancy.

Aim: Teenage pregnancy has been well studied from a demographic risk perspective, but less data examining the early interpersonal family experiences of teenage mothers are available. We aimed to explore the relative impact of demographic, early interpersonal family relationships and depressive symptomatology as associations for teenage, as compared to non-teenage, childbearing.

Method: A prospective cross-sectional cohort study was undertaken.
