Article Synopsis
- Persistent sex disparities in physical activity and sports participation among US children and adolescents could benefit from interventions aimed at reducing these gaps.
- A simulation study modeled the potential lifetime impacts of increasing female participants' activity levels to match male levels, examining health and economic outcomes based on the agent-based model of 8,299,353 children aged 6 to 17 in 2023.
- Results indicated that eliminating these disparities could prevent over 28,000 cases of overweight and obesity by age 18, potentially saving approximately $780 million in combined medical costs and productivity losses over the lifetimes of the affected cohorts.
Background: Many students would benefit from trauma-informed physical activity (PA); however, there is a lack of systematic guidance on incorporating trauma-informed practices across school-based PA opportunities. The purpose of this study was to generate a feasible framework for trauma-informed school-based PA.
Methods: Framework development was guided by a modified Delphi approach, including an exploration phase and an evaluation phase.
Background: There is a need for unified guidance in the management of acneiform rash induced by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRi) among dermatologists.
Objective: To establish unified international guidelines for the management of acneiform rash caused by EGFR inhibitors, based on an experts' Delphi consensus.
Methods: The initiative was led by five members of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Task Force 'Dermatology for Cancer Patients' who developed a questionnaire that was circulated to a group of 32 supportive oncodermatology experts in Europe, Canada, Argentina, the US States and Asia.
Too often, policy discussions focus on employment rates over the quality of the jobs that are available to veterans. Ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for veterans should be a priority of policies and programs to improve employment opportunities for this population. Veterans have already put their lives and health on the line for their country, sometimes with long-term effects that make them vulnerable to additional hazards on the job.

This population is at a higher risk of metastasis and worse disease-specific survival. The objective of this review is to better characterize the immunosuppressed population with metastatic cSCC.
