Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if discussing contraception with healthcare providers influences contraceptive use among transgender men and gender-diverse individuals.
- In a 2019 survey of 1,694 respondents, about 48% reported currently using contraception, with higher usage observed among those who had conversations about contraceptive options with providers, especially those who initiated the discussion themselves.
- The findings highlight the importance of encouraging healthcare providers to engage in open dialogues about contraception with transgender and gender-diverse patients to improve their access to necessary services.
Cutaneous phosphorylated-synuclein: an early diagnostic biomarker for pure autonomic failure.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
November 2024
Background: Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with progressive autonomic failure without other neurological features. Atypical presentations may lead to diagnostic uncertainty. We studied whether cutaneous phosphorylated-alpha-synuclein (p-syn) could distinguish between PAF, multiple system atrophy (MSA) and non-synucleinopathy-related autonomic failure, and examined its relationship with quantitative markers of cardiovascular autonomic failure.

We describe strategies used to build an ecosystem that attracts and supports a diverse and inclusive researcher community to use the All of Us dataset and provide metrics on All of Us researcher usage growth.
Materials And Methods: Researcher audiences and diversity categories were defined to guide a strategy.
We conducted a longitudinal randomized controlled experiment between September 2021 and May 2022 to evaluate whether anti-tobacco industry beliefs and attitudes mediate the effect of culturally tailored anti-smoking messages on quit intentions among US young adult sexual minority women (SMW) ages 18-30 who smoke. Participants were randomized to view up to a total of 20 tailored versus non-tailored messages over one month. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and one-month follow-up.

The primary objective of INCbase is to develop and validate a clinical prediction model for treatment response.
Methods: All patients meeting clinical criteria for CIDP can be included in INCbase.
