A group prenatal care intervention reduces gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes in American Samoan women.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the preliminary effectiveness of an intervention to mitigate adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with pre-pregnancy obesity in American Samoa.

Methods: We enrolled n = 80 low-risk pregnant women at <14 weeks' gestation. A complete case analysis was conducted with randomized group assignment (group prenatal care-delivered intervention vs.

Providing parents with HPV vaccine information from a male perspective may render them more inclined to have their daughters vaccinated.

Objectives: Several high-income countries have implemented a gender-neutral vaccination program against human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The impact of a gender-neutral program (GNP) on parental intention to vaccinate their daughters has not been studied, especially in countries with low HPV vaccine coverage among girls.

Patients And Methods: In July 2019, before a GNP was implemented in France (2021), the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) conducted a survey on HPV vaccine acceptance among parents of children aged 11-19 years living in France.

Earthworms do not increase greenhouse gas emissions (CO and NO) in an ecotron experiment simulating a three-crop rotation system.

Earthworms are known to stimulate soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but the majority of previous studies have used simplified model systems or lacked continuous high-frequency measurements. To address this, we conducted a 2-year study using large lysimeters (5 m area and 1.5 m soil depth) in an ecotron facility, continuously measuring ecosystem-level CO, NO, and HO fluxes.

Therapy Strategies for Late-life Depression: A Review.

Background: Depression in the elderly requires different treatment options because therapies that are commonly used for depression in younger patients show different effects later in life. Treatment options for late-life depression (LLD) are summarized in this article.

Methods: A literature search in Medline/PubMed performed in June 2020 identified 83 relevant studies.

[Extension of HPV vaccination to boys: Survey of families and general practitioners].

Introduction: As part of an analysis on the extension of the HPV vaccination to French boys, the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) and the French National Authority for Health (HAS) have conducted in collaboration a survey on HPV vaccine acceptance in July 2019. This survey was completed by parents of children aged 11-19 and general practitioners (GPs). Questions focused on their representations, practices and intentions in the context of the future policy change allowing boys to get vaccinated against HPV.
