Background: Little research has been conducted solely exploring gender diversity in people with intellectual disabilities. This review explores the literature, discusses the prevalence, and identifies clinical best practices for people at the intersection of gender diversity and intellectual disability.

Method: A scoping review was conducted utilising PRISMA methodology of the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL Complete (EBSCO), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Dissertations & Theses Global (ProQuest), PsycInfo (EBSCO), Scopus and Web of Science.

During impression formation, perceptual cues facilitate social categorization while person-knowledge can promote individuation and enhance person memory. Although there is extensive literature on the cross-race recognition deficit, observed when racial ingroup faces are recognized more than outgroup faces, it is unclear whether a similar deficit exists when recalling individuating information about outgroup members. To better understand how perceived race can bias person memory, the present study examined how self-identified White perceivers' interracial contact impacts learning of perceptual cues and person-knowledge about perceived Black and White others over five sessions of training.

Purpose: Among patients with cancer, tobacco use remains high. Nearly half who report smoking at diagnosis continue to smoke following diagnosis, and use of smoking cessation medication remains low. This study explores attitudes, barriers, and preferences for smoking cessation medication among patients enrolled in a tobacco treatment trial in the context of cancer care.

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent cases of the tumor were reported in five patients (from ages 8 to 69) who presented with solitary masses on various body parts, with all undergoing surgical excision and showing no disease upon follow-up.
  • * The study reveals unique morphological and molecular characteristics of these tumors and suggests rebranding the tumor as "superficial neurocristic FET::ETS fusion tumor" to better reflect its distinct nature.

Article Synopsis
  • Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare type of tumor that can occur in various body parts and is often linked to specific genetic fusions, with 10-30% of cases becoming metastatic.
  • A study involving DNA methylation analysis of 79 SFTs revealed distinct epigenetic changes linked to their primary sites, identifying key genes such as EGFR and TBX15 that showed differing levels of expression based on the tumor's location and genetic fusion type.
  • TBX15 emerged as a significant marker, with changes in its methylation and expression strongly correlating to the tumor's tissue of origin, suggesting it could help differentiate between new tumors and metastases without needing extensive genomic analysis.
