Responses to the 2022 Infant Formula Shortage in the US by Race and Ethnicity.

Objective: Describe experiences of, and responses to, 2022 infant formula shortages among households with infants aged up to 18 months by race/ethnicity using Household Pulse Survey data.

Methods: Outcomes included whether households were affected by shortages and, if so, 3 nonmutually exclusive response categories (increased breastmilk, obtained formula atypically, and disruptive coping [disruptions to breastmilk and/or formula]) and 1 mutually exclusive response category (solely disruptive coping). Unadjusted shares reporting each were compared using t tests.

Changes to insulin sensitivity in glucose clearance systems and redox following dietary supplementation with a novel cysteine-rich protein: A pilot randomized controlled trial in humans with type-2 diabetes.

We recently developed a novel keratin-derived protein (KDP) rich in cysteine, glycine, and arginine, with the potential to alter tissue redox status and insulin sensitivity. The KDP was tested in 35 human adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a 14-wk randomised controlled pilot trial comprising three 2×20 g supplemental protein/day arms: KDP-whey (KDPWHE), whey (WHEY), non-protein isocaloric control (CON), with standardised exercise. Outcomes were measured morning fasted and following insulin-stimulation (80 mU/m/min hyperinsulinaemic-isoglycaemic clamp).

Deep learning applications to breast cancer detection by magnetic resonance imaging: a literature review.

Deep learning analysis of radiological images has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. This paper systematically reviewed the current literature on deep learning detection of breast cancer based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The literature search was performed from 2015 to Dec 31, 2022, using Pubmed.

Fibroepithelial Lesion Spectrum: A Case Report Documenting a Possible Transformation to a Malignant Phyllodes Tumor.

We discuss the radiological-pathological aspects of a rare case of transformation of a presumed fibroadenoma (FA) to a malignant phyllodes tumor (PT) and review the literature. Phyllodes tumors often show heterogeneous histologic features with some areas indistinguishable on core needle biopsy. A core biopsy is often a small representation of a larger lesion.

SNAP Participation and Medication Adherence Among Older Black Medicaid-Insured Individuals Living With Hypertension.

Background: Black people are more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension and to experience food insecurity and antihypertensive medication non-adherence compared to White people in the U.S. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-a means-tested program that targets food insecurity has been shown to affect health outcomes.

Churn in the older adult SNAP population.

Using administrative records from Missouri, we investigate the characteristics of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants aged 60 and older who experience administrative churn. Among these adults, 1 in 4 experienced administrative churn, and 1 in 5 experienced more than one spell of churn. Risk of churn, frequency, duration of churn spells, and the value of foregone SNAP benefits varied with individual, household, and geographic characteristics, and was more common among non-whites, members of larger households, and those living in urban areas.

Factors That Influence Children's Exits from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children: A Systematic Review.

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides supplemental foods and nutritional education to low-income women and children up to the age of five. Despite evidence that WIC improves diet and nutrition and the nationwide availability of this program, many participants exit WIC before they are no longer eligible for benefits. To date no study has systematically reviewed factors that influence participants' exits from WIC.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Participation and Medication Adherence Among Medicaid-Insured Older Adults Living with Hypertension.

Background: Food insecurity has been associated with medication non-adherence among individuals living with chronic diseases like hypertension. The relationship between Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-a public program that addresses food insecurity-and Medication adherence among older Medicaid-insured adults living with hypertension is not clear.

Objective: To analyze the association between patterns of SNAP participation and adherence to antihypertensive medications among older Medicaid-insured individuals.

A Systematic Review of Marketing Practices Used in Online Grocery Shopping: Implications for WIC Online Ordering.

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) plans to allow participants to redeem their food package benefits online, i.e., online ordering.

Breastfeeding Initiation Trends by Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Participation and Race/Ethnicity Among Medicaid Births.

Objective: Describe long-term breastfeeding initiation trends by prenatal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participation and race/ethnicity.

Design: Cross-sectional study of birth certificate data from 2009 to 2017 in 24 states that adopted the 2003 birth certificate revision by 2009.

Participants: Term births with hospital costs covered by Medicaid (N = 6,402,704).

Internal mammary lymph nodal response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on imaging and breast cancer prognosis.

Background: Pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important prognostic indicator in breast cancer. Internal mammary lymph node involvement is not currently included in pCR determination, as sampling at the time of surgery is not routinely performed.

Methods: Pre and post neoadjuvant chemotherapy MRI or PET/CT imaging response of the internal mammary lymph node chain was utilized as a surrogate to pCR and imaging data was correlated with patient outcomes.

Mammographic Findings of Diffuse Axillary Tail Trabecular Thickening After the Second Booster of COVID-19 Vaccination.

Axillary adenopathy post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has been well-documented and is seen with other types of vaccinations. Isolated trabecular thickening on mammography, however, is singular to COVID-19 vaccination, which implies that this finding may result from a distinct pathophysiologic mechanism. Herein, we describe the first case of axillary tail trabecular thickening resulting from the second booster of the COVID-19 vaccination series.

Experiences of carers of youth, adult children and spouses with ME/CFS.

Objectives: The debilitating nature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) means that family members often take on a caring role. This study compared the experiences of people caring for three groups: youth, young adults, spouses.

Methods: An opportunistic sample of 36 carers completed an online survey of open-ended questions asking about their experiences.

Invasive Lobular Cancer Arising in a Surgical Scar From Lumpectomy for a Previous Invasive Ductal Cancer of the Breast.

We describe a case of pathology-proven invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) arising in a scar over 15 years after lumpectomy for previous invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). The tumor was detected on screening mammography as a new focal asymmetry at the scar site and confirmed at diagnostic mammography. Ultrasound demonstrated an irregular, shadowing, hypoechoic mass at the scar site.

Mammographic findings of diffuse axillary tail trabecular thickening following immunization with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: Case series study.

Axillary lymphadenopathy has been reported after ipsilateral COVID-19 vaccination and can cause confusion for possible malignancy [1]. Intrinsic findings isolated to the breast has not been previously reported. This is the first case series of ipsilateral reversible changes of diffuse axillary tail trabecular thickening on screening mammography in totally asymptomatic patients in connection with COVID vaccination, 3 of which were isolated findings, confirmed by complete resolution of all imaging findings on follow up.

Taking the VITALS to Interrupt Microaggressions.

Introduction: Microaggressions are subtle statements or actions that reinforce stereotypes. Medical students, residents, and faculty report experiences of microaggressions, with higher incidences among women and marginalized groups. An educational tool utilizing the acronym VITALS (validate, inquire, take time, assume, leave opportunities, speak up) provided a framework for processing and addressing microaggressions encountered in the academic health center environment.

Education Abroad and College Completion.

While some stakeholders presume that studying abroad distracts students from efficient pursuit of their programs of study, others regard education abroad as a high impact practice that fosters student engagement and hence college completion. The Consortium for Analysis of Student Success through International Education (CASSIE), compiled semester-by-semester records from 221,981 students across 35 institutions. Of those students, 30,549 had studied abroad.
