Beyond the Nest: The Role of Financial Independence in Young Adult Health.

Background: This study aimed to examine the impact of neighborhood conditions and household material hardship experiences on young adult health outcomes, while also considering financial autonomy as a critical determinant of health.

Method: We employed a cross-sectional observational design with a diverse sample of young adults from a large urban university. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships between neighborhood conditions and material hardship with health outcomes by financial autonomy.

Incidence of Adjacent Synchronous Ipsilateral Infiltrating Carcinoma and/or Ductal Carcinoma In Situ in Patients Diagnosed with Flat Epithelial Atypia by Core Needle Biopsy (TBCRC 034).

Background: Flat epithelial atypia (FEA), a rare breast proliferative lesion, is often diagnosed following core biopsy (CB) of mammographic microcalcifications. In the prospective multi-institution TBCRC 034 trial, we investigate the upgrade rate to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive cancer following excision for patients diagnosed with FEA on CB.

Patients And Methods: Patients with a breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) ≤ 4 imaging abnormality and a concordant CB diagnosis of FEA were identified for excision.

Biomarker Discovery for Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Using Multiplex Proteomics Technology.

Early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can improve survival but is hampered by the absence of early disease symptoms. Imaging remains key for surveillance but is cumbersome and may lack sensitivity to detect small tumors. CA19-9, the only FDA-approved blood biomarker for PDAC, is insufficiently sensitive and specific to be recommended for surveillance.

Obesity is a risk factor for prolonged mechanical ventilation after tracheotomy.

Objective: To compare patient outcomes across body mass index (BMI) subgroups in the setting of recent tracheotomy.

Methods: This retrospective chart review included patients over 18 years old who underwent tracheotomy placement between February 2017 and March 2020. Patients were divided into five groups based on BMI: underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese, and morbidly obese.

A longitudinal analysis of the impact of multidimensional precarious employment on the mental health of men and women.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of precarious employment (PE) on the mental health of Australians. Building on previous research, we conceptualised PE as a multidimensional construct, accounted for gender differences in the associations, and our modelling strategy addressed the possibility of reverse causality bias. Data was pooled panel data from 15 waves (2005-2019) of the HILDA survey (n = 14,237).
