Background: Increasing HIV rates among young Latino sexual minority men (YLSMM) warrant innovative and rigorous studies to assess prevention and treatment strategies. Ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) and electronic pill dispensers (EPDs) have been used to measure antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence repeatedly in real time and in participants' natural environments, but their psychometric properties among YLSMM are unknown.
Objective: The study's objective was to assess the concurrent validity, acceptability, compliance, and behavioral reactivity of EMAs and EPDs among YLSMM with HIV.

Article Synopsis
- - Breast cancer constitutes 24.2% of malignant tumors in women, and advancements in treatment have led to higher survival rates, but there's an increasing incidence of second primary lung cancers (LC) appearing about 10 years post-breast cancer treatment.
- - The study analyzed 9 women in Colombia who developed second primary adenocarcinomas of the lung after being treated for ductal carcinoma breast cancer, revealing that many had undergone radiation and chemotherapy, which heightened their LC risk.
- - With treatment-to-LC detection intervals varying from 1 to 17 years and a notable number of LCs appearing near the original BC site, the research highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and accurate histological evaluations in managing lung
Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious birth defect that can make it hard for babies to breathe and can lead to death.
- Taking care of a baby with CDH before they are born is complicated and needs a team of different doctors working together.
- This review talks about how to better identify and manage CDH during pregnancy to help improve the chances of survival and health for these babies.
Objective: Maternal obesity affects 39.7% of reproductive-age women in the United States. Emerging research has suggested that in utero exposure to maternal obesity is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, but knowledge of underlying mechanisms in human samples is lacking.

Because UVR exposure accumulates over time and lighter skin is more susceptible to UVR, age and skin tone are risk factors for skin cancer. However, measurements of somatic mutations in healthy-appearing skin have not been used to calculate skin cancer risk.
