Background: In the United States, Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee women face many barriers to cervical cancer screening. This work describes and evaluates the use of community health workers and community-based participatory research in providing community-level interventions through a community-academic partnership to address these barriers.
Methods: Community advisory board members and mother-daughter dyads were recruited to help develop and refine cervical cancer educational materials.
The shelf-life and quality of food products depend heavily on antioxidants, which protect lipids from free radical degradation. α-Tocopherol and myricetin, two potent antioxidants, synergistically enhance the prevention of oxidative rancidity in bulk oil systems. Understanding their degradation kinetics is essential for deepening our knowledge of their mechanisms and developing strategies to predict shelf-life before expiration.

PUFA is highly prone to oxidation. To date, it is unclear whether unoxidized or oxidized PUFA is involved in the development of IBD.

Yet, disease expression is highly variable and includes very early-onset PKD presentations or infancy. In animal models, the RNA-binding molecule Bicc1 has been shown to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of PKD.

Although only 20% of cases can be genetically explained, the majority remain without an identified underlying etiology. The neurodevelopmental disorder Chung-Jansen syndrome (CHUJANS) is caused by haploinsufficiency of Pleckstrin homology domain-interacting protein (PHIP) and was previously associated with genital malformations.
