'I Could Trust It': Experiences of Reciprocal Translocation Carriers and Their Partners With Prenatal Cell-Free DNA Screening for Unbalanced Translocations.

Objective: To explore the experiences of people having cfDNA screening to detect unbalanced translocations, and to understand motivations for choosing this option.

Methods: We used a qualitative approach with in-depth semi-structured interviews with reciprocal translocation carriers and their partners. People who underwent cfDNA screening with translocation analysis through Victorian Clinical Genetics Services between 2015 and 2019 were invited to take part.

The effects of feeding frequency on jaw loading in two lemur species.

Objectives: Studies on oral processing are often snapshots of behaviors that examine feeding through individual bouts. In this study, we expand on our previous work comparing bite/chew variables per feeding bout to summed daily biting, chewing, and food intake to interpret loading that could have potential morphological effects.

Materials And Methods: We observed sympatric Lemur catta and Propithecus verreauxi over two field seasons in the dry forest of Bezà Mahafaly Special Reserve in southwestern Madagascar.

Dispensing pharmacy chains and direct anticoagulants: Potential associations with patient outcomes.

Purpose: Pharmacy chains can differ with respect to the characteristics of their patient populations as well as their nonprescription products, services, and practices, and thus may serve as a surrogate for potential unmeasured confounding in observational studies of prescription drugs. This study evaluates whether a single-source drug can have different patient outcomes based on the dispensing pharmacy chain.

Methods: Separate analyses for two anticoagulant drugs, rivaroxaban and apixaban, were conducted using Medicare Fee-for-Service claims evaluating the association between dispensing pharmacy chain and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, all-cause mortality, and major GI bleeding.

Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of RealConsent2.0: a web-based intervention to promote prosocial alcohol-involved bystander behavior in young men.

Background: Sexual violence (SV) is a significant, global public health problem, particularly among young adults. Promising interventions exist, including prosocial bystander intervention programs that train bystanders to intervene in situations at-risk for SV. However, these programs suffer from critical weaknesses: (1) they do not address the proximal effect of alcohol use on bystander decision-making and (2) they rely on self-report measures to evaluate outcomes.

Comparing effects of food mechanical properties on oral processing behaviors in two sympatric lemur species.

Objectives: The link between diet and the masticatory apparatus in primates is complex. We investigated how food mechanical properties (FMPs) and food geometry affect feeding behaviors and subsequent jaw loading. We compared oral processing in two sympatric lemur species with distinct diets and mandibular morphologies.

Healthcare experiences among patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: a qualitative study.

In this qualitative study, 21 adults living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) were interviewed about their healthcare experiences. Participants detailed how delay in diagnosis, lack of provider knowledge, inadequate pain management, poor access to care and stigmatization negatively affected their interactions with the healthcare system. Improving disease knowledge among providers, proactively addressing HS-related pain and coordinating access to multidisciplinary care may improve healthcare experiences among individuals living with HS.

HIV retesting for pregnant and breastfeeding women across maternal child health services in Nampula, Mozambique.

Background: Repeat HIV testing during pregnancy and breastfeeding identifies women with incident infections, those living with HIV who have been lost to care, and infants at risk for HIV infection. We report data from repeat testing for women in maternal and child health (MCH) services at 10 health facilities in Mozambique.

Methods: Routinely collected data from health facility registers are reported from April-November 2019.

Preexposure Prophylaxis Among Pregnant and Lactating People in 18 PEPFAR-Supported Countries: A Review of HIV Strategies and Guidelines.

Introduction: Pregnant and lactating people (PLP) experience heightened risk of acquiring HIV, which adversely impacts their health and increases the risk for vertical HIV transmission. Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as part of a combination prevention package, including condoms, sexually transmitted infection prevention, and regular HIV testing, is a safe, efficacious method to prevent HIV infections among PLP and their infants. This article examines the evolution of strategies and guidance on PrEP services for PLP from 18 countries supported by the U.

Pain experiences among those living with hidradenitis suppurativa: a qualitative study.

Background: Pain is rated by patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) as the disease's most impactful symptom. HS therapies are often insufficient to control inflammatory disease activity and pain. A better understanding of patient experiences with pain may improve patient-provider relationships and help identify strategies for addressing HS pain.

Performance of a cell-free DNA prenatal screening test, choice of prenatal procedure, and chromosome conditions identified during pregnancy after low-risk cell-free DNA screening.

Objectives: To evaluate the performance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening for common fetal aneuploidies, choice of prenatal procedure, and chromosome conditions identified during pregnancy after low-risk cfDNA screening.

Method: A single-center prenatal cfDNA screening test was employed to detect trisomies 21, 18, and 13 (T21, T18, T13) and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs). Test performance, choice of prenatal procedure, and cytogenetic results in pregnancies with low-risk cfDNA screening were reviewed.

Community home visiting services and child maltreatment report rates, Illinois zip codes, 2011-2018.

Background: Research is sparse on the community-level impacts of home visiting programs on child maltreatment.

Objective: To examine community-level associations between state-funded home visiting programs (i.e.

Cancer Diagnoses Following Abnormal Noninvasive Prenatal Testing: A Case Series, Literature Review, and Proposed Management Model.

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a screening test for fetal chromosomal aneuploidy using cell-free DNA derived from maternal blood. It has been rapidly accepted into obstetric practice because of its application from 10-weeks' gestation, and its high sensitivity and specificity. NIPT results can be influenced by several factors including placental or maternal mosaicism and co-twin demise; cell-free DNA from a maternal origin can also complicate interpretation, with evidence that NIPT can detect previously unsuspected malignancies.

Longitudinal trends in screening males and females for intimate partner violence as part of a systemic multi-specialty health system intervention.

Objective: To assess intimate partner violence screening for males and females in a health system that underwent a systemic intervention to improve survivor identification and response. Electronic health record data from 13 clinics were accessed for February of 2017, 2018, and 2019 to calculate screening rates and positive screening rates for intimate partner violence by clinic and sex-race groups (n  =  11,693 non-Hispanic White females; n  =  4318 Other females; n  =  9184 non-Hispanic White males; n  =  3441 Other males). Linear mixed effects models were used to examine whether screening rates differed significantly over time and by sex-race group.

Performance of a Paired-End Sequencing-Based Noninvasive Prenatal Screening Test in the Detection of Genome-Wide Fetal Chromosomal Anomalies.

Background: Noninvasive prenatal tests (NIPTs) detect fetal chromosomal anomalies with high clinical sensitivity and specificity. We examined the performance of a paired-end sequencing-based NIPT in the detection of genome-wide fetal chromosomal anomalies including common trisomies, sex chromosomal aneuploidies (SCA), rare autosomal aneuploidies (RAAs), and partial deletions/duplications ≥7 Mb.

Methods: Frozen plasma samples from pregnant women were tested using the VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 assay.

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) and antenatal care (ANC) clinics in Malawi: effective platforms for improving engagement of men at high HIV risk with voluntary medical male circumcision services.

Introduction: Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), an effective HIV prevention programme for men, is implemented in East and Southern Africa. Approximately 50% of VMMC clients are aged below 15 years. More targeted interventions to reach older men and others at higher short-term HIV risk are needed.

Risk of short-term biodiversity loss under more persistent precipitation regimes.

Recent findings indicate that atmospheric warming increases the persistence of weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, resulting in sequences of longer dry and wet periods compared to historic averages. The alternation of progressively longer dry and wet extremes could increasingly select for species with a broad environmental tolerance. As a consequence, biodiversity may decline.

Process evaluation of a systemic intervention to identify and support partner violence survivors in a multi-specialty health system.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is highly prevalent in the United States and impacts the physical and mental health and social well-being of those who experience it. Healthcare settings are important intervention points for IPV screening and referral, yet there is a wide range of implementation of IPV protocols in healthcare settings in the U.S.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Prevalences Among People Experiencing Homelessness and Homelessness Service Staff During Early Community Transmission in Atlanta, Georgia, April-May 2020.

Background: In response to reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks among people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in other US cities, we conducted multiple, proactive, facility-wide testing events for PEH living sheltered and unsheltered and homelessness service staff in Atlanta, Georgia. We describe the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) prevalence and associated symptoms, and review shelter infection prevention and control (IPC) policies.

Methods: PEH and staff were tested for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) during 7 April-6 May 2020.

Genome-wide noninvasive prenatal screening for carriers of balanced reciprocal translocations.

Purpose: Balanced reciprocal translocation carriers are at increased risk of producing gametes with unbalanced forms of the translocation leading to miscarriage, fetal anomalies, and birth defects. We sought to determine if genome-wide cell-free DNA based noninvasive prenatal screening (gw-NIPS) could provide an alternative to prenatal diagnosis for carriers of these chromosomal rearrangements.

Methods: This pilot series comprises a retrospective analysis of gw-NIPS and clinical outcome data from 42 singleton pregnancies where one parent carried a balanced reciprocal translocation.
