Association between adverse childhood experiences and menstruation-related symptoms among Japanese female workers: A cross-sectional study.

Backgrounds: Menstruation-related symptoms are a common and serious health problem even without a specific diagnosis such as premenstrual dysphoric mood disorder (PMDD) or dysmenorrhea. Various adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) might be associated with menstruation-related symptoms, not only traditional traumatic events such as abuse, but also expanded ACEs such as childhood poverty, school bullying, or natural disasters.

Objective: This study examined the association between expanded ACEs (ACEs for Japanese) and menstruation-related symptoms among Japanese working women.

Workplace factors associated with job satisfaction among dental hygienists and assistants in the United States.

Previous research has assessed job satisfaction and related workplace factors among healthcare workers. However, studies on dental care professionals are limited. This study aimed to evaluate job satisfaction among US dental hygienists (DHs) and assistants (DAs) and identify workplace factors contributing to their job satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Microthrombosis at the Ultra-early Stages after Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Results in Early Brain Injury.

Introduction: Early Brain Injury (EBI) significantly contributes to poor neurological outcomes and death following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The mechanisms underlying EBI post-SAH remain unclear. This study explores the relationship between serial cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes and neurological symptoms, as well as the mechanisms driving CBF changes in the ultra-early stages after experimental SAH in mice.

Effects of Protocol-driven Care by Internists on Adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hip Fracture Surgery Patients: An Interrupted Time Series Study Using a Nationwide Inpatient Database.

Background Patients with hip fractures tend to have a poor prognosis. Although guideline-compliant practices are known to improve patient outcomes, there is a lack of evidence regarding the use of intervention to improve guideline adherence in hip fracture patients. The objective of our study was to evaluate guideline adherence by internists providing care to patients with hip fractures, using a protocol developed based on various guidelines.

Cerebrovascular stenosis related to tyrosine kinase inhibitor for chronic myeloid leukemia: two illustrative cases.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.
