Patient-reported outcome measures to assess mental and physical health status, functionality, and quality of life in patients with major depression or schizophrenia.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) are standardized self-administered tools that assess the patient's opinion on the level of health, quality of life, and disability among other aspects. The objective of this study was to gather information on physical and mental health in patients with major mental illness using PROMs.

Methods: This was an observational, naturalistic, prospective study carried out in adult stabilized outpatients attended at nine Adult Mental Health Centers in Barcelona, Spain.

MET Exon 14 Skipping and Novel Actionable Variants: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications in Latin American Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients.

Targeted therapy indications for actionable variants in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have primarily been studied in Caucasian populations, with limited data on Latin American patients. This study utilized a 52-genes next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel to analyze 1560 tumor biopsies from NSCLC patients in Chile, Brazil, and Peru. The RNA sequencing reads and DNA coverage were correlated to improve the detection of the actionable exon 14 skipping variant (METex14).

Association Between Breastfeeding Peer Support and Confidence in Breastfeeding.

Background: Peer support programs may be effective for supporting breastfeeding among diverse groups, and in reducing disparities. This study provides insight regarding the implementation and outcomes of a peer breastfeeding support program.

Research Aims: (1) to examine how participation affected the outcomes of breastfeeding motivation, confidence, and coping strategies; and (2) to evaluate satisfaction with the program.

Take it sitting down: the effect of body posture on cortical potentials during free viewing-A mobile EEG recording study.

Brain imaging performed in natural settings is known as mobile brain and body imaging (MoBI). One of the features which distinguishes MoBI and laboratory-based experiments is the body posture. Previous studies pointed to mechanical, autonomic, cortical and cognitive differences between upright stance and sitting or reclining.

[Management of pregnant women with deficiency of factor VII. Report of one case].

Tissue Factor-Factor VII complex is essential in coagulation activation. Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare disorder that has an autosomal recessive inheritance.
