'Sweden has changed me': a qualitative study exploring the sexual health needs and associated mental health aspects of young male former unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers and refugees in Region Stockholm, Sweden.

Objectives: Sexual health needs of young refugees and asylum-seeking men are seldom explored or addressed, adversely affecting their mental and physical well-being. By interviewing young male former unaccompanied minors, refugees and asylum seekers in Stockholm, Sweden, this study aimed to get a deeper understanding of what they needed to achieve a positive and respectful approach to sexuality, romantic and consensual relationships. Additionally, we explored how their sexual health needs were related to their mental health, as well as the factors influencing both.

A narrative review about the intricate crosstalk among endometrium, adipose tissue, and neurons in endometriosis. The multifaceted role of leptin.

Endometriosis is a highly prevalent gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, whose etiopathology is far from being elucidated. The most frequent complains of patients are pelvic pain and infertility. Increasing evidence supports the systemic impact of endometriosis suggesting that an intricate crosstalk among distinct organs underlies the development of the disease.

Racial and regional disparities in the risk of noncommunicable disease between sub-Saharan black and European white patients.

Objectives: Greater vulnerability of Black vs. White individuals to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well charted in the United States, but studies involving sub-Saharan blacks are scarce.

Methods: Baseline data (2021-2024) were collected in 168 sub-Saharan Blacks and 93 European Whites in an ongoing clinical trial (NCT04299529), using standardized patient selection criteria.

"Clinical prediction model for masked hypertension diagnosed by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements in a sample from specialized hospital.".

The conventional assessment of the relationship between arterial hypertension (AH) and cardiovascular damage has predominantly relied on office measurements. However, the diagnostic significance of ambulatory and home measurements has gained prominence, particularly in identifying distinct AH phenotypes like masked hypertension (MH), characterized by normal office values but elevated readings outside the clinical setting, carrying comparable risks to sustained AH. Current guidelines advocate for Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in individuals with office values exceeding 130/85 mmHg.
