Adverse Childhood Experiences: Increased Likelihood Of Socioeconomic Disadvantages For Young Adults.

More than 60 percent of US adults report that they had adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). For this study of 930,000 children born during the period 1999-2003, we used linked administrative, survey, and criminal justice data to measure the association between ACEs (parental death; separation; incarceration; or criminal charge for intimate partner violence, substance use disorder, or child sexual or nonsexual abuse) and socioeconomic disadvantages at ages 18-22 during 2017-21. After childhood socioeconomic status was controlled for, young adults with ACEs were more likely to have been charged with felonies, have become teenage parents, live in a household with poverty or housing assistance, be enrolled in Medicaid, and be employed, and were less likely to be enrolled in an educational institution.

Comprehensive Clinical Genetics, Molecular and Pathological Evaluation Efficiently Assist Diagnostics and Therapy Selection in Breast Cancer Patients with Hereditary Genetic Background.

Using multigene panel testing for the diagnostic evaluation of patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome often identifies clinically actionable variants in genes with varying levels of penetrance. High-penetrance genes (, , , , , , ) inform specific clinical surveillance and therapeutic decisions, while recommendations for moderate-penetrance genes (, , , , , , , , , , , ) are more limited. A detailed disease history, including pedigree data, helps formulate the most appropriate and personalised management strategies.

Jail-based interventions to reduce risk for opioid-related overdose deaths: Examples of implementation within Ohio counties participating in the HEALing Communities Study.

Background: Opioid-related overdose is a leading cause of death for criminal legal-involved individuals and, although naloxone distribution and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are effective means for reducing post-release overdose death risk, jail-based availability is limited. This case report describes the challenges faced by three Ohio communities as they implemented evidence-based practices (EBPs) in jails to combat post-release opioid overdose deaths.

Method: We present case examples of how barriers were overcome to implement jail-based EBPs in three Ohio communities (two urban and one rural) as part of the HEALing Communities Study (UM1DA049417; ClinicalTrials.

Evaluation of an emergency department-based approach to reduce subsequent opioid overdoses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association of a multi-pronged treatment program in emergency department (ED) patients with an acute presentation of opioid use disorder (OUD) on the rate of subsequent opioid overdose (OD). This approach included ED-initiated take-home naloxone, prescription buprenorphine, and an ED-based peer support and recovery program.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational analysis of adult patients presenting to the ED at a large urban hospital system from November 1, 2017 to March 17, 2023.
