75 college students responded to Moore and Barling's AIDS questionnaire. Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory, and a background survey regarding sex education and sexual and religious activity. The most commonly reported sources of sex education were peers, parents, and high school courses, respectively. Ratings of the most important of 10 potential sources of sex education included peers, high school courses, and religious institutions, respectively. None of these were significantly correlated with future condom use. Virgins reported more open communication with parents about sex. Sexual experience was positively related to more confusion about sexual precautions but negatively related to foreclosed attitudes toward such precautions. Some types of religious involvement (church attendance and campus religious organization membership) were related to foreclosed attitudes. Data in attitudinal and sex education were compared with data collected in 1991. Although students more frequently reported having received sex education in 2000, their attitudes toward utilizing sexual precautions have become somewhat more diffused.

With 25% of teenagers pregnant by age of 19 and about half of these married before their 18th birth day, Uganda exhibits one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and child marriage globally. Comprehensive data on the drivers and barriers to addressing repeat teenage pregnancies and early child marriages remains limited. Using the narrative inquiry approach, the paper explores the key socio-cultural drivers and barriers to addressing repeat teenage pregnancies and early/forced marriages among stakeholders in the districts of Mbale, Kween, Namayingo and Kalangala.

Bidirectional promoters (BDPs) regulate the transcription of two adjacent, oppositely oriented genes, offering a compact structure with significant potential for multigene expression systems. Although BDPs are evolutionarily conserved, their regulatory roles and sequence characteristics vary across species, with limited studies in fish. Here, we systematically analyzed the distribution, sequence features, and expression patterns of BDPs in the medaka () genome.

Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH) refers to a lumbar disc herniation (LDH) that recurs at the same level, location, and side following surgical repair. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TESI) and dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency (DRG PRF) therapy with and without caudal epidural steroid injection (CESI) for the treatment of lumbar radicular pain (LRP) associated with RLDH. This retrospective cohort study included 57 patients treated for RLDH in a hospital pain clinic between September 2022 and February 2024.
