No one listens to us, we know this, so we participated: Qualitative evidence from menstruation research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: We created a survey to assess menstrual side effects after COVID-19 vaccination when we noticed news stories that denied or discounted the experiences of tens of thousands of menstruating and formerly menstruating people who reported experiencing bleeding changes. This survey had an unprecedented response hundreds of times higher than we had anticipated ( = 101,824).

Objectives: We investigated what motivated our sample to participate without remuneration to understand both general motivations for survey participation as well as why this survey captured the interest of so many.

Sex disparities in COVID-19 outcomes in the United States: Quantifying and contextualizing variation.

This paper presents the first longitudinal study of sex disparities in COVID-19 cases and mortalities across U.S. states, derived from the unique 13-month dataset of the U.

The effects of anti-resorptive therapies and estrogen withdrawal in adult scoliosis measured by sub-segmental vertebral BMD analysis.

The sub-segmental analysis of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans from scoliotic vertebrae has established that there are differences in bone mass between the concave and convex sides of the vertebrae. Furthermore, these differences persisted in patients with low bone mass and were related to the geometry and applied loads, suggesting that this is a good model of bone adaptation in response to external stimuli. The goal of this study was to characterize the response of the human scoliotic spine to anti-resorptive treatments and estrogen withdrawal on the concave and convex sides of the spine.
