Background: With increasingly restricted access to facility-based abortion in the United States, pregnant people are increasingly relying on models of care that utilize history-based or no-test approaches to eligibility assessment. Minimal research has examined the accuracy of abortion patients' self-assessment of eligibility for medication abortion using their health history, a necessary step towards ensuring optimal access to history-based or no-test models, as well as potential over-the-counter access.
Objective: To examine the accuracy of pregnant people's eligibility for medication abortion determined using their self-reported health history as compared to clinician assessment with ultrasound and other tests.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the marginalization of older LGBTIQ+ individuals in Chile, despite social progress, and emphasizes their vulnerability to both homophobia and ageism.
- It examines the social networks and life experiences of older gay men and trans women using the Convoy Model, analyzing how their life courses have shaped their social ties.
- Findings reveal diverse social networks providing emotional and practical support, but also indicate challenges like relationship difficulties and fears of losing support as they age, particularly for those living alone.

Background: Sunitinib, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor, showed encouraging antitumor activity and manageable toxicity in patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in earlier results from phase I and II trials.
Patients And Methods: In this phase II trial, patients with a nonresectable grade 1 or 2 midgut progressive NET and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1 were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive 37.5 mg sunitinib or a placebo, combined with 120 mg lanreotide autogel every 28 days.
Background: Dysregulated pathways in cancer may be hub addicted. Identifying these dysregulated networks for targeting might lead to novel therapeutic options.
Objective: Considering the hypothesis that central hubs are associated with increased lethality, identifying key hub targets within central networks could lead to the development of novel drugs with improved efficacy in advanced metastatic solid tumors.
The planktonic dinoflagellate genus Centrodinium has been understudied, with the type species C. elongatum remaining undocumented since the original description. Here, we report C.
