"There is a paywall to my happiness": the influence of socioeconomic determinants on transgender and gender diverse young adults' experiences with eating disorders.

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) young adults experience elevated risk for eating disorders (ED), partially due to cissexist discrimination and victimization; less is understood about how socioeconomic determinants contribute to their ED risk. Qualitative data collected from 66 TGD young adults (18-30 years old; 29% self-identified as transgender women, 29% as transgender men, 39% as nonbinary people, and 3% as another gender identity (e.g.

What is needed for eating disorder prevention for transgender and gender diverse young adults? Findings from asynchronous online focus groups.

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) young adults face higher risk of eating disorder (ED) symptoms than cisgender peers. Evidence-based ED prevention programs exist but must be adapted to meet the needs of diverse TGD populations. We conducted eight asynchronous online focus groups in 2019 with 66 ethnically and gender diverse TGD young adults (18-30 years) living in the United States.

Light chain 2 is a Tctex-type related axonemal dynein light chain that regulates directional ciliary motility in Trypanosoma brucei.

Flagellar motility is essential for the cell morphology, viability, and virulence of pathogenic kinetoplastids. Trypanosoma brucei flagella beat with a bending wave that propagates from the flagellum's tip to its base, rather than base-to-tip as in other eukaryotes. Thousands of dynein motor proteins coordinate their activity to drive ciliary bending wave propagation.

Asynchronous Online Focus Groups for Health Research: Case Study and Lessons Learned.

Increasingly, social life-and accordingly, social research-is conducted in online environments. Asynchronous online focus groups (AOFGs) have emerged as an important tool to conduct remote research with geographically diverse populations. However, there remain few systematic accounts of AOFG methods to guide researchers' decision-making in designing and implementing studies.

Structure-function relationships of TMJ lateral capsule-ligament complex.

The human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) lateral capsule ligament (LCL) complex is debated as a fibrous capsule with distinct ligaments or ligamentous thickening, necessitating further evaluation of the complex and its role in TMJ anatomy and mechanics. This study explores the ultrastructural arrangement, biomechanical tensile properties, and biochemical composition of the human LCL complex including region-specific differences to explore the presence of a distinct temporomandibular ligament and sex-specific differences to inform evaluations of potential etiological mechanisms. LCL complex ultrastructural arrangement, biomechanical properties, and biochemical composition were determined using cadaveric samples.

Eating disorder screening and treatment experiences in transgender and gender diverse young adults.

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) young adults have elevated risk for disordered eating, unhealthy weight control behaviors, and eating disorders (EDs). Little is known about TGD young adult experiences with ED screening and treatment; this qualitative study aimed to address this gap. This study used data from eight asynchronous online focus groups, a dynamic online bulletin board method (N = 66).

Measurement and construct validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short Form in a transgender and gender diverse community sample.

This study evaluated the measurement and construct validity of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short Form (EDE-QS) in a transgender and gender diverse sample. Participants who self-identified as transgender and gender diverse ( = 71) completed self-report measures of demographics, gender-related experiences, and disordered eating/body image. Analyses comprised evaluation of EDE-QS internal consistency, convergent validity, and specificity for disordered eating.
