Cleavage-stage or blastocyst-stage embryo biopsy has no impact on growth and health in children up to 2 years of age.

Background: Studies show conflicting results on neonatal outcomes following embryo biopsy for PGT, primarily due to small sample sizes and/or heterogeneity in the timing of embryo biopsy (day 3; EBD3 or day 5/6; EBD5) and type of embryo transfer. Even fewer data exist on the impact on children's health beyond the neonatal period. This study aimed to explore outcomes in children born after EBD3 or EBD5 followed by fresh (FRESH) or frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Impact of the citizen science project COLLECT on ocean literacy and well-being within a north/west African and south-east Asian context.

Plastic pollution is both a societal and environmental problem and citizen science has shown to be a useful tool to engage both the public and professionals in addressing it. However, knowledge on the educational and behavioral impacts of citizen science projects focusing on marine litter remains limited. Our preregistered study investigates the impact of the citizen science project (COLLECT) on the participants' ocean literacy, pro-environmental intentions and attitudes, well-being, and nature connectedness, using a pretest-posttest design.

Impact of embryo vitrification on children's health, including growth up to two years of age, in comparison with results following a fresh embryo transfer.

Objective: To assess health outcomes, including growth up to 2 years of age, in children born after embryo vitrification in comparison with children born after fresh embryo transfer.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Setting: A single-center university hospital.

The Factor Structure and Measurement Invariance of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations in a Sexual Minority Population.

Coping strategies have been studied as protective factors against stress for individuals. However, the psychometric properties of the most widely used coping self-report questionnaires, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS-21), have not been examined in a sexual minority population (men and women that identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual or LGB). In this study, we conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) simultaneously to assess the factor structure of the CISS-21 questionnaire in LGBs.

A Qualitative Study on Emotions Experienced at the Coast and Their Influence on Well-Being.

Coastal environments are increasingly shown to have a positive effect on our health and well-being. Various mechanisms have been suggested to explain this effect. However, so far little focus has been devoted to emotions that might be relevant in this context, especially for people who are directly or indirectly exposed to the coast on a daily basis.

Genome sequence and experimental infection of calves with bovine gammaherpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4).

Bovine gammaherpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is ubiquitous in cattle worldwide, and it has been detected in animals exhibiting broad clinical presentations. The virus has been detected in the United States since the 1970s; however, its clinical relevance remains unknown. Here, we determined the complete genome sequences of two contemporary BoHV-4 isolates obtained from respiratory (SD16-38) or reproductive (SD16-49) tract specimens and assessed clinical, virological, and pathological outcomes upon intranasal (IN) inoculation of calves with the respiratory BoHV-4 isolate SD16-38.

Scaffold Hopping in Agrochemical Research: Discovery of Insecticidal 4-Pyridyl Isobenzofurans.

The insecticidal activity of pyridine compounds substituted at the 4-position with lipophilic groups has been reported in recent agrochemical patent applications. Encouraged by these reports, 4-pyridyl dihydroisobenzofuran(one)s were designed to test scaffold-hopping hypotheses with the goal of discovering new insecticidally active areas of chemistry. A series of 4-pyridyl dihydroisobenzofuran(one)s were synthesized, and their activity against key sap-feeding insect pests (silverleaf whitefly, ; green peach aphid, ) was assessed.

Perceived Discrimination and Relationship Satisfaction Among Same-Sex Couples: The Role of Dyadic Stress and Sex.

Based on the fact that most research drawn from the minority stress theory on the association between minority stress and relationship satisfaction has focused on an individual perspective rather than a dyadic perspective, and the limited evidence of the systemic transactional model (STM) explore the topics of same-sex couples. This study aims to combine both theories to examine the association between perceived discrimination and relationship satisfaction among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people on both partners and test the potential mediating role of dyadic stress and sex difference in this association. Using an actor-partner interdependence mediation model (APIMeM), we analyzed data including a sample of 241 LGB couples (133 female and 108 male same-sex dyads).

Influence of the Belgian Coast on Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

There is increasing evidence that blue spaces, particularly coastal environments, are beneficial for well-being. During the first-wave lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium, access to the coast was restricted due to restraint in circulation. Making use of this unique opportunity, this study investigated whether access and visits to the coast were positively associated with well-being by using a quasi-experimental design.

Sexual orientation and sleep problem among Chinese college students: Mediating roles of interpersonal problems and depressive symptoms.

Background: This study aimed to investigate disparities in sleep quality between sexual minority and heterosexual college students, and to examine the serial multiple mediation effects of interpersonal relationships and depressive symptoms on sexual minority disparities in sleep quality. We also explored the sex differences in the mediating effects.

Methods: Data were drawn from the 2019 School-based Chinese College Students Health Survey using a multi-stage, stratified-cluster, random-sampling method to examine the risk factors of sleep disparities and the mediation effects.

Ten years of fertility treatment experience and reproductive options in transgender men.

Background: Up to 2018, the Belgian law stated that transgender people who wanted to change their legal sex had to undergo physical gender affirming treatment. This included gonadectomy to a medically possible and justified extent, which entailed that they had to accept the fact that they could no longer reproduce. However, research has shown that many transgender people desire to have children.

Adolescent Attachment: A Social Relations Perspective on Family Relations.

While attachment at an early age is almost exclusively determined by parental behavior, variation in the quality of attachment in adolescence seems strong to be influenced by the complex interplay between the adolescent's internal working model and its environment. To unravel the different sources of variance in adolescent attachment relationships we applied the Social Relations Model. Two parents and two adolescents from 70 relatively well-functioning families reported on their attachment relationships within a family context.

Erratum to: Health of 2-year-old children born after vitrified oocyte donation in comparison with peers born after fresh oocyte donation.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1093/hropen/hoab002.].

Health of 2-year-old children born after vitrified oocyte donation in comparison with peers born after fresh oocyte donation.

Study Question: Does oocyte vitrification adversely affect the health of 2-year-old children compared with peers born after use of fresh oocytes in a donation programme?

Summary Answer: The growth and health of 2-year-old children born after oocyte vitrification are similar to those of peers born after use of fresh oocytes.

What Is Known Already: Although oocyte vitrification is a well-established procedure in ART, the evidence on its safety for offspring is limited. Currently, no disadvantageous effects of oocyte vitrification have been shown in terms of obstetric and neonatal outcome.

Sex Differences in the Romantic Relationships of Same-Gender Couples: The Role of Visibility Management.

Although internalized homonegativity (IH) in lesbian, gay, or bisexual people (LGBs) predicts adverse relationship satisfaction, this association has typically only been examined on an individual level. Moreover, studies often ignore potential mechanisms that underlie sex differences. One of these mechanisms is related to visibility management (i.

Association of sexual minority status, gender nonconformity with childhood victimization and adulthood depressive symptoms: A path analysis.

Background: Sexual minority status and childhood gender nonconformity have been associated with elevated risks of childhood adversities and poorer mental health.

Objective: To explore how abuse and bullying explain the disparities in the associations of sexual minority status and childhood gender nonconformity with adulthood depressive symptoms in men.

Participants And Setting: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a self-report questionnaire among Chinese adult men (18-35 years) who were identified as heterosexual (n = 873) and sexual minority (n = 858) in Guangzhou from 2017 to 2019.

Multiple vitrification-warming and biopsy procedures on human embryos: clinical outcome and neonatal follow-up of children.

Study Question: Does double vitrification and warming of human blastocysts having undergone biopsy once or twice have an impact on the clinical outcome?

Summary Answer: The clinical pregnancy rate obtained with double vitrification single biopsy blastocysts was comparable to that obtained with single vitrification single biopsy blastocysts in our center in the same time period (46%; 2016-2018), whereas that obtained with double-vitrified double-biopsied blastocysts seemed lower and will need further study.

What Is Known Already: Genetic testing on cryopreserved unbiopsied embryos involves two cryopreservation procedures. Retesting of failed/inconclusive-diagnosed blastocysts inevitably involves a second round of biopsy and a second round of vitrification as well.

Chromosomal abnormalities after ICSI in relation to semen parameters: results in 1114 fetuses and 1391 neonates from a single center.

Study Question: Is there a relationship between karyotype abnormalities in fetuses and children conceived by ICSI and their father's semen parameters?

Summary Answer: The de novo chromosomal abnormality rate in pre- and postnatal karyotypes of ICSI offspring was higher than in the general population and related to fathers' sperm parameters.

What Is Known Already: Several studies have reported a higher rate of de novo chromosomal anomalies in ICSI fetuses but recent data from large cohorts are limited. Overall, reported prevalences of non-inherited karyotype aberrations are increased in fetuses conceived after ICSI and vary between 1.

Lived experiences: a focus group pilot study within the MentALLY project of mental healthcare among European users.

Background: Mental healthcare is an important component in societies' response to mental health problems. Although the World Health Organization highlights availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of healthcare as important cornerstones, many Europeans lack access to mental healthcare of high quality. Qualitative studies exploring mental healthcare from the perspective of people with lived experiences would add to previous research and knowledge by enabling in-depth understanding of mental healthcare users, which may be of significance for the development of mental healthcare.

A Critical Perspective on Mental Health News in Six European Countries: How Are "Mental Health/Illness" and "Mental Health Literacy" Rhetorically Constructed?

In this study, we aim to contribute to the field of critical health communication research by examining how notions of mental health and illness are discursively constructed in newspapers and magazines in six European countries and how these constructions relate to specific understandings of mental health literacy. Using the method of cluster-agon analysis, we identified four terminological clusters in our data, in which mental health/illness is conceptualized as "dangerous," "a matter of lifestyle," "a unique story and experience," and "socially situated." We furthermore found that we cannot unambiguously assume that biopsychiatric discourses or discourses aimed at empathy and understanding are either exclusively stigmatizing or exclusively empowering and normalizing.

Healthcare professionals' perspectives on mental health service provision: a pilot focus group study in six European countries.

Background: The mental healthcare treatment gap (mhcGAP) in adult populations has been substantiated across Europe. This study formed part of MentALLY, a research project funded by the European Commission, which aimed to gather qualitative empirical evidence to support the provision of European mental healthcare that provides effective treatment to all adults who need it.

Methods: Seven focus groups were conducted with 49 health professionals (HPs), including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, general practitioners, and psychiatric nurses who worked in health services in Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

Identification of risk factors for recurrent secondary septic peritonitis following initial surgical treatment of secondary septic peritonitis in dogs.

Objectives: To report the incidence of and risk factors for development of recurrent secondary septic peritonitis (RSSP) in dogs. To report the outcome of dogs treated surgically for RSSP.

Design: Retrospective study.

Genetic diversity and evolution of the emerging picornavirus .

(SVA) is an emerging picornavirus that causes vesicular disease (VD) in swine. The virus has been circulating in swine in the United Stated (USA) since at least 1988, however, since 2014 a marked increase in the number of SVA outbreaks has been observed in swine worldwide. The factors that led to the emergence of SVA remain unknown.

What Predicts Visibility Management at Work? A Study of Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Flemish Government Employees.

Visibility management (VM) refers to the regulation of disclosure of one's sexual orientation for the purposes of maintaining privacy as well as minimizing stigma, harm, or marginalization. Research on how lesbian women and gay men (LGs) manage the visibility of their sexual orientation in the workplace is scarce. In this study, we tested a model that investigates the relationships between VM on the one hand, and specific job characteristics, experiencing the work environment as more or less LG friendly, and personal homonegative experiences on the other.
