Understanding maladaptive daydreaming from the attachment framework: The intertwining roles of parental care, unresolved attachment, depression/anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD) is an excessive absorption in vivid fantasies interfering with individuals' daily functioning, which has been associated with adverse psychological outcomes and adult attachment insecurities. However, no study to date has addressed the relationships between MD, parental care, unresolved attachment, and psychological symptoms (depression/anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder; OCD) in a sample of young adults. In this study, 1295 young adults (401 males) completed an online survey including the Parental Bonding Instrument, Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale, Adult Unresolved Attachment Questionnaire, and the DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure.

From Sex Education to Sexualities Education: Navigating the Intersectionality of Queer Communities in Italy and the Netherlands.

This study aimed to explore the experiences, needs, and interests of queer people who are also neurodivergent, or live with a chronic illness or disability (i.e. IMMI: individuals with multi-minority identities) in Italy and the Netherlands.

Perspectives of Young Women with Breast Cancer: Patient Experiences Indicate Opportunities to Improve Treatment.

In this focus group study of 11 women younger than 45 years of age treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY, USA) between March 2020 and April 2021, patients were asked about their preferences for types of resources, and timing and method of information delivery. Patients expressed interest in personalized medicine, access to integrative health and a holistic approach to treatment, and early consultation for fertility preservation. Their narratives elaborated on how age at diagnosis influences interpersonal relationships and quality of life, and provides direction for interventions to better counsel and support this population.

Financial Toxicity Among Women with Breast Cancer Varies by Age and Race.

Introduction: Financial toxicity negatively affects clinical outcomes in breast cancer. Underrepresented demographics may be at higher risk for financial toxicity. We characterized disparities on the basis of age and other factors.

Impact of Mastectomy Flap Necrosis on Patient-Reported Quality-of-Life Measures After Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: A Preliminary Analysis.

Background: Mastectomy skin flap necrosis (SFN) is common following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), but studies on its quality-of-life (QOL) impact are limited. We examined patient-reported QOL and satisfaction after NSM with/without SFN utilizing the BREAST-Q patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) survey.

Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing NSM between April 2018 and July 2021 at our institution were examined; the BREAST-Q PROM was administered preoperatively, and at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively.

EEG responses to infant faces in young adults can be influenced by the quality of early care experiences with caregivers.

Background: The quality of early experiences with caregivers affects individual adjustment and can modulate adults' responses to salient social stimuli, like infant faces. However, in the framework of Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory (IPARTheory), no research to date has examined whether early experiences of acceptance or rejection from caregivers are associated with individual differences in the electrophysiological (EEG) responses to infant faces.

Objective: This study examined the associations between the perceived quality of care during childhood and the behavioral and EEG responses to infant and adult faces in non-parent young adults.

Neither Parents' Sex Nor the Type of Family Modulates Attentional Bias Toward Infant Faces: A Preliminary Study in Different-Sex and Same-Sex Parents.

An attentional bias toward infant versus adult faces has been detected in parents and positively associated with sensitive caregiving behaviors. In previous research, the attentional bias has been measured as the difference in attention, in terms of reaction times, captured by infant versus adult faces; the larger the difference, the greater the cognitive engagement that adults deployed to infant faces. However, research so far has been mostly confined to samples of mothers, who have been more represented than fathers.

The perceived quality of maternal care during childhood shapes attentional bias to infant faces in parents and nonparents.

While research has shown that the attentional bias to infant faces predicts the quality of infant care, the antecedents of this cognitive process have been less established. In particular, it remains unknown whether the attentional bias to infant faces might be affected by the interplay between different factors, including memories of past experiences of care, adults' sex, and the experience of parenthood. To extend previous results, we examined the attentional bias to infant faces in a mixed sample of parents ( = 99) and nonparents ( = 102), and whether it varied in relation to parental status, sex, the quality of past experiences of care, and the interactions between these factors.

Attentional bias to infant faces might be associated with previous care experiences and involvement in childcare in same-sex mothers.

Background: Attentional bias toward infant faces is associated with parental sensitivity and supports the infant-caregiver attachment relationship, ultimately fostering child health outcomes. However, experience-related determinants of parents' attentional bias to infant faces have been poorly investigated. We examined attentional bias to infant versus adult faces in a sample of same-sex mothers ( = 76), and whether it varied depending on maternal involvement in childcare and the perceived quality of past experiences of care.

Association of Moderate-Risk Breast Cancer Genes with Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy and Bilateral Disease.

Background: The impact of ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2, the three most prevalent moderate-risk breast cancer genes, on surgical decision making is not well known.

Methods: Our retrospective study included patients with resectable non-metastatic breast cancer who underwent multigene panel testing between July 2014 and January 2020 with at least one genetic alteration (pathogenic or variant of uncertain significance [VUS] in ATM [n = 49], CHEK [n = 57], or PALB2 [n = 27]). Our objectives were to determine the rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) and the rate of bilateral breast cancer.

Long-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes Comparing Oncoplastic Breast Surgery and Conventional Breast-Conserving Surgery: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Introduction: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) combines plastic surgery techniques with conventional breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and expands BCS eligibility. Limited data are available on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after OBS. Here we compare long-term PROs after OBS and BCS utilizing the BREAST-Q.

The Impact of Breast-Conserving Surgery Re-excision on Patient-Reported Outcomes Using the BREAST-Q.

Background: Approximately 14% of women undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS) require re-excision to achieve negative margins following the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) and American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) margin guidelines, which may influence patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Few studies have assessed the impact of re-excision on PROs following BCS.

Patients And Methods: Women with stage 0-III breast cancer undergoing BCS who completed a BREAST-Q PRO measure from 2010 to 2016 were identified from a prospective database.

Strategies to avoid mastectomy skin-flap necrosis during nipple-sparing mastectomy.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy is associated with a higher risk of mastectomy skin-flap necrosis than conventional skin-sparing mastectomy. There are limited prospective data examining modifiable intraoperative factors that contribute to skin-flap necrosis after nipple-sparing mastectomy.

Methods: Data on consecutive patients undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy between April 2018 and December 2020 were recorded prospectively.

Culture-based prescribing to improve mental health: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this review is to investigate what is known about culture-based prescribing to improve mental health and well-being.

Introduction: Culture-based prescribing, where a person is referred by a clinical professional to an arts or cultural activity aimed at improving mental health and well-being, is increasingly used as a community-based source of support. Although culture-based prescribing seems promising, the field is heterogeneous with respect to definition, underlying hypotheses, and cultural activity.

In professional dancers' everyday lives, self-improvement and body awareness entwine with striving for artistic excellence. In this context, 'health' has primarily been explored in relation to eating disorders, pain, and injuries.

Pregnancy-associated breast cancer: does timing of presentation affect outcome?

Purpose: Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) comprises breast cancer diagnosed during the gestational period or within 12 months postpartum. While the incidence of PABC appears to be increasing, data regarding prognosis remain limited.

Methods: Here we evaluate clinicopathologic features, treatments, and clinical outcomes among women with stage 0-III PABC diagnosed between 1992 and 2020.

Attentional Prioritization of Infant Faces in Parents: The Influence of Parents' Experiences of Care.

Infant faces are prioritized by the attentional system in parents, resulting in a greater cognitive engagement in terms of response time. However, many biological, contextual and environmental factors relating to this cognitive mechanism have been left unexplored. To fill this gap, this study aims to (i) confirm that infant faces engage more attention compared to adult faces; (ii) investigate whether the attention to infant faces is affected early care experiences of parents; (iii) explore the effect of parents' sex by taking the amount of involvement with early childcare into consideration.

Do non-classic invasive lobular carcinomas derive a benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy?

Purpose: Invasive lobular breast cancers (ILCs) respond poorly to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The degree of benefit of NAC among non-classic ILC (NC-ILC) variants compared with classic ILCs (C-ILCs) is unknown.

Methods: Consecutive patients with Stage I-III ILC treated from 2003 to 2019 with NAC and surgery were identified, and grouped as C-ILC or NC-ILC as per the original surgical pathology report, with pathologist (A.

Analysis of a Trend Reversal in US Lumpectomy Rates From 2005 Through 2017 Using 3 Nationwide Data Sets.

Importance: Rates of lumpectomy for breast cancer management in the United States previously declined in favor of more aggressive surgical options, such as mastectomy and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM).

Objective: To evaluate longitudinal trends in the rates of lumpectomy and mastectomy, including unilateral mastectomy vs CPM rates, and to determine characteristics associated with current surgical practice using 3 national data sets.

Design And Setting: Data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP), Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, and National Cancer Database (NCDB) were examined to evaluate trends in lumpectomy and mastectomy rates from 2005 through 2017.

Fertility Preservation in Young Women with Breast Cancer: Impact on Treatment and Outcomes.

Background: The impact of chemotherapy timing on the fertility preservation (FP) decision is poorly understood. Here we evaluate factors associated with FP completion among women age ≤ 45 years with breast cancer who received chemotherapy and consulted with a reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) specialist, and report pregnancy and oncologic outcomes.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective review included all women age ≤ 45 years diagnosed with stage I-III unilateral breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 2009 and 2015 who received chemotherapy and consulted with an REI specialist.

Neoliberal and pandemic subjectivation processes: Clapping and singing as affective (re)actions during the Covid-19 home confinement.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the restriction of free movement and the sheltering-in-place became worldwide strategies to manage the virus spread. Especially at the beginning of the pandemic, community-based affective events helped people feel less isolated and support each other. In this manuscript, we explore how two of these social practices-clapping and singing-were useful to counter the emotions entailed in the subjectivation processes that accompanied the pandemic.

Impact of Endocrine Therapy Adherence on Outcomes in Elderly Women with Early-Stage Breast Cancer Undergoing Lumpectomy Without Radiotherapy.

Background: National Comprehensive Center Network guidelines recommend radiotherapy (RT) omission in women age ≥ 70 years with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), cN0, T1 tumors post-lumpectomy if they receive endocrine therapy (ET). However, little is known about the impact of poor adherence on locoregional recurrence (LRR) in elderly women forgoing RT.

Methods: Women age ≥ 70 years with pT1-2 ER+ breast cancer undergoing lumpectomy without RT from 2004 to 2019 were identified from a prospectively maintained database.

The Role of Paternal Involvement on Behavioral Sensitive Responses and Neurobiological Activations in Fathers: A Systematic Review.

As fathering research has flourished, a growing body of studies has focused on behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms, respectively associated with caregiving sensitivity and responsiveness to infant stimuli. However, the association between these aspects and the key concept of paternal involvement in childcare (i.e.
