Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals compared to hearing individuals, with a focus on data from a large U.S. survey.
  • Findings indicate that DHH individuals aged 25 to 64 are significantly more likely to report high-risk ACEs, while younger and older groups do not show significant differences.
  • The research emphasizes the importance of implementing trauma-informed care and improving access to ACE screenings specifically for DHH populations.

Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence and incidence of opioid use disorder (OUD), rates of opioid overdose (OD), and rates of non-fatal (NF) OD in American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations.

Methods: We used de-identified patient data from Oracle Cerner Real-World Data™. Rates were estimated over time, and stratified by sex, age, marital status, insurance, and region.

The Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) screening tool has not previously been used to evaluate risk for gambling disorder (GD). We aimed to assess the level at which each specific substance involvement score (SSIS), measured by ASSIST, most optimally predicted GD among U.S.

Objective: To investigate associations between identity intersectionality, with a primary focus on minority identity, and probable eating disorders (EDs) within the US college student population.

Method: Data consisting of n = 414,299 college students' responses to the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment between fall 2015 and spring 2019 were utilized for this study. Overall and stratified adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were used to assess the association between different facets of identity (i.

In response to luteinizing hormone (LH), multiple proteins in rat and mouse granulosa cells are rapidly dephosphorylated, but the responsible phosphatases remain to be identified. Because the phosphorylation state of phosphatases can regulate their interaction with substrates, we searched for phosphatases that might function in LH signaling by using quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified all proteins in rat ovarian follicles whose phosphorylation state changed detectably in response to a 30-min exposure to LH, and within this list, identified protein phosphatases or phosphatase regulatory subunits that showed changes in phosphorylation.
