Weight and Procedural Abortion Complications: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To systematically assess the existing empiric evidence regarding a potential relationship between higher body weight and procedural abortion complications.

Data Sources: EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Clinicaltrials.gov were searched.

Penalizing underage alcohol use is associated with lower mortality for young drivers: Use/lose laws and their association with motor vehicle collision mortality.

Background: Motor vehicle collisions (MVC) continue to be a leading cause of mortality for youth in the United States. Since 2010, seven states have revoked mandatory laws that suspended licenses for underage alcohol use, also known as use/lose laws. This study analyzed whether each state's policy change was associated with increased youth MVC mortality.

Preclinical Development of Tuspetinib for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

This article reports preclinical development of TUS, an oral kinase inhibitor currently in clinical development for treatment of AML. The article covers the studies of TUS activities on cellular targets and the nonclinical studies that supported the advancement of TUS to a phase I/II trial of TUS/VEN in refractory AML and a phase I/II trial of TUS/VEN/5-azacytidine in newly diagnosed patients with AML (NCT03850574).

Substrate translocation and inhibition in human dicarboxylate transporter NaDC3.

The human high-affinity sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter (NaDC3) imports various substrates into the cell as tricarboxylate acid cycle intermediates, lipid biosynthesis precursors and signaling molecules. Understanding the cellular signaling process and developing inhibitors require knowledge of the structural basis of the dicarboxylate specificity and inhibition mechanism of NaDC3. To this end, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy structures of NaDC3 in various dimers, revealing the protomer in three conformations: outward-open C, outward-occluded C and inward-open C.

Use of Preferred Source of Contraception Among Users of the Pill, Patch, and Ring in the US.

Importance: Individuals who use contraceptive pills, patches, and rings must frequently interact with the health care system for continued and consistent use. As options for obtaining these methods expand, better understanding contraceptive users' preferences for source of contraception can help facilitate access.

Objective: To describe use of preferred source of contraception and to understand associations between prior reproductive health care experiences and preference for traditional in-person sources vs alternative sources.
