Purpose: Bound morphemes are challenging for children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) to acquire and to use successfully. The challenge arises in part from limited access to spoken word forms as a result of reduced audibility during perception, but successful comprehension requires access to the morphological forms and the mapping between these forms and their meanings. This study investigated the relationship between perception and comprehension of bound morphemes in order to assess the impact of form-meaning mapping on performance.

  • Understanding the risks of fertility treatments (FTs) is crucial for making informed clinical decisions and providing patient counseling regarding women's health issues, particularly cancer.
  • This study aimed to analyze the relationship between FTs and the incidence of specific female-related cancers such as ovarian, endometrial, breast, and cervical cancers, using systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
  • Results indicated a significant increase in ovarian cancer and borderline ovarian tumors among women undergoing FTs compared to those not treated, especially with certain fertility drug regimens like clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin.
