Health-Related Quality of Life and Perceived Stigma in Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Real-World, US, Web-Based Survey.

Background And Aims: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is associated with impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and stigma perceptions. Therefore, we examined the real-world impact of EoE on the daily life and ability to function in adolescents (caregiver-reported) and adults with EoE in the United States of America in a noninterventional, cross-sectional, web-based survey.

Methods: HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (domains: vitality and social functioning) and the European Health Interview Survey (domain: sleep).

"I'm not the one with cancer but it's affecting me just as much": A qualitative study of rural caregivers' experiences seeking and accessing support for their health and wellbeing while caring for someone with cancer.

Purpose: Caregivers provide vital support to people with cancer but often report feeling unsupported themselves. This study investigated rural caregivers' experiences seeking support for their health and wellbeing while caring for someone with cancer.

Methods: Through semi-structured interviews, 20 rural caregivers described their experiences seeking and accessing support for their own health and wellbeing while caring for someone with cancer, including what support was, or would have been, helpful.

A Comparison of Functional Outcomes in Rotator Cuff Repairs Using Adjunctive Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate vs. Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Regenerative medicine, specifically bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), has become a novel adjunct that orthopedic surgeons have started to use with surgical rotator cuff repairs (RCR). Thus, we are conducting this systematic review to determine if either RCRs with BMAC alone or with BMAC and PRP result in superior functional outcomes. We conducted a comprehensive search using five databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane.

Practical Guidance for Preparing for and Conducting Focus Groups and Interviews with Community Members for Cancer Research.

To support meaningful and productive engagement in cancer research, we provide practical guidance for preparing for and conducting focus groups and interviews with community members. We provide 11 recommendations in two printable resources: (a) a checklist for preparing for focus groups and interviews with community members, and (b) a list of practical strategies to use when conducting the focus groups and interviews. These recommendations are based on our experience facilitating 15 focus groups and 20 interviews with 52 community members to codesign the study materials for a population-wide qualitative survey for understanding the needs and experiences of adults affected by cancer in Queensland, Australia.

Co-designing planning interventions to facilitate participation in mail-out bowel cancer screening.

Background: Population mail-out bowel cancer screening programs save lives through prevention and early detection; however, their effectiveness is constrained by low participation rates. Many non-participants are "intenders"; that is, they intend to screen but fail to do so, often forgetting or procrastinating. This study aimed to co-design interventions to increase screening participation among intenders in the Australian National Bowel Cancer Screening Program.

From many voices, one question: Community co-design of a population-based qualitative cancer research study.

Purpose: This study formed the development stage of a population-based survey aiming to: (i) understand the needs and experiences of people affected by cancer in Queensland, Australia and (ii) recruit a pool of participants for ongoing cancer survivorship research. The current study aimed to co-design and test a single qualitative survey question and study invitation materials to maximise acceptability of, and participation in, the survey and future research.

Methods: Fifty-two community members, including cancer survivors and caregivers, participated across 15 co-design workshops and 20 pretest interviews.

Treatment Patterns and Persistent Disease Activity in Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background And Aims: Limited real-world nontertiary care evidence on the patient therapeutic journey and disease burden of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) exists. The aim was to collect real-world data on the EoE patient journey across different age groups.

Methods: This retrospective, real-world, cohort study used electronic medical records and claims data provided by a rural integrated US healthcare system.

Monitoring egg fertility, embryonic morbidity, and mortality in an oviparous elasmobranch using ultrasonography.

Ultrasonography is widely used to monitor pregnancy in viviparous species, but it is underutilized as a tool to characterize embryonic development in oviparous species. Currently, a multi-institutional effort is underway to re-wild the endangered zebra shark () to locations where this species was previously extirpated by leveraging the reproductive efforts of aquarium sharks as a source of brood stock. Zebra sharks are oviparous and fecund, but a large percentage of their yolked eggs do not result in hatchlings.

Home Together: A Multi-Level Community-Based Health Promotion Program Supporting Families Experiencing Homelessness.

Home Together (HT) is a multi-level multi-component health promotion program, co-led by academic and non-profit partners in Arkansas that sought (1) to improve access to and family acceptance of social services and health care among women experiencing homelessness who have a diagnosed mental health condition and a child younger than six years and (2) to increase service provider capacity to engage with this population. A socioecological perspective was used to detail program components and lessons learned. Home Together enrolled 345 women representing unduplicated families.

The small molecule inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro EDP-235 prevents viral replication and transmission in vivo.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the deaths of millions of people and severe global economic impacts. Small molecule therapeutics have played an important role in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, but their efficacy has been limited in scope and availability, with many people unable to access their benefits, and better options are needed. EDP-235 is specifically designed to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, with potent nanomolar activity against all SARS-CoV-2 variants to date, as well as clinically relevant human and zoonotic coronaviruses.

Immunological memory diversity in the human upper airway.

The upper airway is an important site of infection, but immune memory in the human upper airway is poorly understood, with implications for COVID-19 and many other human diseases. Here we demonstrate that nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs can be used to obtain insights into these challenging problems, and define distinct immune cell populations, including antigen-specific memory B cells and T cells, in two adjacent anatomical sites in the upper airway. Upper airway immune cell populations seemed stable over time in healthy adults undergoing monthly swabs for more than 1 year, and prominent tissue resident memory T (T) cell and B (B) cell populations were defined.
