Background: Tissue-based genomic classifiers (GCs) have been developed to improve prostate cancer (PCa) risk assessment and treatment recommendations.
Purpose: To summarize the impact of the Decipher, Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score (GPS), and Prolaris GCs on risk stratification and patient-clinician decisions on treatment choice among patients with localized PCa considering first-line treatment.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science published from January 2010 to August 2024.
Article Synopsis
- The under-recruitment of marginalized groups, particularly women veterans, in clinical trials limits healthcare advancements and the applicability of research results.
- The Veterans Health Administration faces unique challenges in recruiting women due to demographic factors and experiences of mistreatment, such as military sexual trauma.
- The VA Women's Enhanced Recruitment Program (WERP) aims to improve participation of women veterans in clinical trials, offering insights for researchers striving for more equitable representation in their studies.
Background: Postdischarge contacts (PDCs) after hospitalization are common practice, but their effectiveness in reducing use of acute care after discharge remains unclear.
Purpose: To assess the effects of PDC on 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, 30-day hospital readmissions, and patient satisfaction.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL searched from 2012 to 25 May 2023.
Background: The etiology of schizophrenia involves both biological and environmental risk factors. Studying childhood trauma in disorders along the schizophrenia spectrum, including schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), can inform early risk and protective factors for psychosis. However, no study has directly compared childhood trauma between SPD and schizophrenia.

Article Synopsis
- Women Veterans (WV) have unique risk factors for autoimmune diseases (AID) that can lead to pregnancy complications.
- A study identified 25 WV with AID, finding that conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and undifferentiated connective tissue disease were the most common.
- The research revealed 44% of these women faced pregnancy complications, with a significant number not using VA health services for care during their pregnancies.
