Supporting Sexual and Reproductive Health for Immigrant Families Across the Lifespan.

The ability to exercise autonomy in achieving reproductive health goals necessitates access to contraceptive and reproductive health information and medical care. Finding trusted, comprehensive, consistent and affordable reproductive care is particularly challenging for immigrants living in the United States, especially for those without legal immigration status and for those who prefer a language other than English. In immigrant communities, sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge, contraceptive choice, and family planning are influenced by many factors including tension between traditional and adopted cultural norms, limited English proficiency, restricted health care access, and structural racism.

Selective aortic arch perfusion: a first-in-human observational cadaveric study.

Background: Selective aortic arch perfusion (SAAP) is a novel endovascular technique that combines thoracic aortic occlusion with extracorporeal perfusion of the brain and heart. SAAP may have a role in both haemorrhagic shock and in cardiac arrest due to coronary ischaemia. Despite promising animal studies, no data is available that describes SAAP in humans.

Objective: To identify key elements of an outreach strategy for a youth contraception navigator program designed to help young people overcome barriers to contraception access.

Methods: A human-centered design approach was used to engage adolescents aged 15-17 in co-design sessions. Human-centered design techniques, such as affinity diagramming and model building were used to inform key elements of the communication model and the final outreach strategy messages.

Spatial ability and anatomy learning performance among dental students.

Purpose: Spatial perception is an essential skill for professional dentists. The objective of this study was to observe the spatial ability, as well as anatomy module grades, of dental students at a dental education center in Indonesia and relate these to gender and cohort.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out where dental students in years (cohorts) 1, 2, 4-6 were invited to take the Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Test (PSVT-R) and the redrawn Vandenberg and Kuse Mental Rotation Test (MRT) in order to assess spatial ability.

The relationship between forward head posture, postural control and gait: A systematic review.

Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is a common postural deviation. An increasing number of studies have reported that people with FHP present with impaired postural control and gait; however, there is conflicting evidence. A systematic review focusing on these relationships has been unavailable to date.

Dual Protection Messaging for Adolescents and Young Adults in the Setting of Over-the-Counter Hormonal Contraception: A Human-Centered Design Approach.

Study Objective: To use human-centered design approaches to engage adolescents and young adults in the creation of messages focused on dual method use in the setting of over-the-counter hormonal contraception access DESIGN: Baseline survey and self-directed workbooks with human-centered design activities were completed. The workbooks were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative methods to determine elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment.

Setting: Indiana and Georgia PARTICIPANTS: People aged 14-21 years in Indiana and Georgia INTERVENTIONS: Self-directed workbooks MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Elements of the communication model, including sender, receiver, message, media, and environment RESULTS: We analyzed 54 workbooks, with approximately half from each state.

Understanding beliefs, preferences and actions amongst potential body donors.

Body donation is a prosocial act providing a unique learning experience to students, ultimately impacting on patient care and science. With an increasing number of training professionals, there is an increasing need for body donors, yet little is understood about donors' beliefs and preferences. A four-center study aimed to understand donors' perceptions, 843 responses highlighted a significant relationship between completing a body donor consent form and being both an organ donor and having ever donated blood (p < 0.

Adolescent Access to Federally Funded Clinics Providing Confidential Family Planning Following Changes to Title X Funding Regulations.

Importance: In May 2019, new federal regulations regarding Title X funding were introduced. There has been no formal evaluation of the impact of this regulatory shift as it pertains to minors' access to services.

Objective: To explore the geography of federally funded clinics providing confidential reproductive care to adolescents following changes to Title X funding regulations.

Implementation of a pharmacist-led hormonal contraceptive prescribing service in a campus community pharmacy in Indiana, United States.

Objective(s): College-age people have the highest numbers of unintended pregnancies and pharmacies within college campuses are in a unique position to meet student needs. Our objective was to implement a pharmacist contraceptive prescribing service in a campus pharmacy and examine the service utilization.

Study Design: The Purdue University Pharmacy (Indiana, United States) implemented a pharmacist hormonal contraception prescribing service via a collaborative drug therapy management agreement with the campus student health center.

Developing a Youth Contraception Navigator Program: A Human-Centered Design Approach.

Purpose: To determine key elements of a contraception navigator program that provides a personalized approach to overcoming patient-specific barriers by a trained navigator in central Indiana.

Methods: A human-centered design approach was used to engage adolescents and community stakeholders in co-design sessions. Sessions incorporated techniques, such as divergent brainwriting and journey maps, which led to the exploration of various themes that were ultimately used to inform key elements of the contraception navigator program.

Changes in deep neck muscle length from the neutral to forward head posture. A cadaveric study using Thiel cadavers.

Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common postural deviations. Deep neck muscle imbalance of individuals with FHP is of primary concern in clinical rehabilitation. However, there is scarce quantitative research on changes in deep neck muscle length with the head moving forward.

Neutralisation of SARS-CoV-2 by anatomical embalming solutions.

Teaching and learning anatomy by using human cadaveric specimens has been a foundation of medical and biomedical teaching for hundreds of years. Therefore, the majority of institutions that teach topographical anatomy rely on body donation programmes to provide specimens for both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching of gross anatomy. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge to anatomy teaching because of the suspension of donor acceptance at most institutions.
