Correlates of hazardous alcohol drinking among trans and non-binary people in Canada: A community-based cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Transgender and non-binary people (TGNB) have a higher rate of heavy episodic drinking than cisgender people; however, extant knowledge about predictors of hazardous alcohol drinking (HAD) among different TGNB groups is limited. This study examined predictors of HAD in a national sample of TGNB people in Canada.

Methods: Logistic regression models were fit to examine the effects of 1) minority stressors and 2) stress-buffering factors on the likelihood of HAD, stratified by gender, among 2324 TGNB individuals from the Trans PULSE Canada survey, a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2019 among trans and non-binary people aged 14+ in Canada.

, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Vietnam.

is described as a new species from Khanh Hoa Province, southern Central Vietnam. It is distinct in the genus in having scutellate leaves that make it a highly potential ornamental plant. The new species looks like in general shapes, sizes and colours of habit, inflorescence, flower, and leaf but is distinguishable by adaxially glabrous and abaxially strigose leaves with serrate margins, scutellate leaf blade and appressed downwards tomentose petiole, sparsely glandular hairs on apical 1/2 of the gynoecium and trapeziform one-lipped stigma with slightly emarginated apex.

Identification of Superior Alleles for Seedling Stage Salt Tolerance in the USDA Rice Mini-Core Collection.

Salt stress is a major constraint to rice acreage and production worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the natural genetic variation available in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) rice mini-core collection (URMC) for early vigor traits under salt stress and identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seedling-stage salt tolerance via a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Using a hydroponic system, the seedlings of 162 accessions were subjected to electrical conductivity (EC) 6.

Amphetamine-Type-Stimulants (ATS) Use and Homosexuality-Related Enacted Stigma Are Associated With Depression Among Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) in Two Major Cities in Vietnam in 2014.

Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by mental health concerns, including depression. Amphetamine-type-stimulants (ATS) use and homosexuality-related stigma and discrimination have been found associated with depression among MSM.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of depression and its associations with ATS use and homosexuality-related stigma and discrimination among MSM in Vietnam.

Anti-inflammatory coumarins from Paramignya trimera.

Context: Paramignya trimera (Oliv.) Burkill (Rutaceae) has been used to treat liver diseases and cancer. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of this medicinal plant and its components have not been elucidated.

The Prevalence and Correlates of HIV and Undiagnosed Infection among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Hanoi, Vietnam: Findings from a Cross-sectional, Biobehavioral Study.

Introduction: Men who have sex with men (MSM) are a key population for HIV infection in Vietnam, and the use of amphetamine type substances (ATS) is prevalent and possibly increasing in this population. The reported analysis examines the association between ATS use before or during sex and HIV infection among MSM in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Methods: This cross-sectional study of 210 MSM was conducted in Hanoi, Vietnam, in late 2014.

Amphetamine-type stimulant use among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Vietnam: Results from a socio-ecological, community-based study.

Introduction: Amphetamine-type-stimulants (ATS) use is associated with HIV-related sexual risk behaviours and is an emergent problem among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to describe ATS use patterns and understand the correlates of recent methamphetamine use from a socio-ecological perspective.

Methods: From September through December, 2014, 622 MSM were recruited in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The prevalence of depression among men living with HIV infection in Vietnam.

Objectives: We assessed the prevalence of depression among men living with HIV infection in Vietnam and compared the findings with those from a general population survey of Vietnamese men.

Methods: Between November 2007 and April 2008, 584 participants completed a structured questionnaire in Vietnamese that measured self-reported depression. We used the chi2 test to detect differences in prevalence rates within HIV populations and between our respondents and a general Vietnamese male population.
