This study aims to examine social class differences in smoking, heavy drinking, unhealthy food habits, physical inactivity and obesity, and work-related psychosocial factors as explanations for these differences. This is done by comparing employee cohorts from Britain, Finland and Japan. Social class differences in health behaviours are found in the two western European countries, but not in Japan. The studied psychosocial factors related to work, work-family interface and social relationships did not explain the found class differences in health behaviours.

Posterior Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Versus Without Sparing of the Oblique/Sling Fibers: A Meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Several studies have hypothesized that sparing the oblique/sling fibers during posterior peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) may reduce the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and reflux esophagitis without compromising the established safety and efficacy of the procedure. This study compares perioperative, postoperative motility-related, and postoperative GERD-related outcomes between posterior oblique/sling fibers-sparing POEM (OFS-POEM) and conventional posterior POEM through a pairwise meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines to identify articles directly comparing posterior OFS-POEM with conventional posterior POEM.
Dynamic Metabolomic Changes in the Phenolic Compound Profile and Antioxidant Activity in Developmental Sorghum Grains.

Phenolic compounds (PC) were analyzed by UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS in two sorghum genotypes, harvested in two growing seasons (GS) at five distinct days after flowering (DAF) to evaluate how genotype/GS influences the PC synthesis and antioxidant capacity during grain growth. Total phenolic contents were strongly correlated with antioxidant capacity ( > 0.9, < 0.

T cell-based immunotherapies targeting antigens on tumor cells have shown efficacy as anti-cancer treatments. While neoantigens are created by somatic mutations acquired during tumorigenesis, allogeneic stem cell transplantation as treatment for hematological malignancies exploits minor histocompatibility antigens encoded by genetic differences between patients and donors. Screening methods to predict neoantigens and minor histocompatibility antigens typically consider only conventional antigens created by nonsynonymous mutations or polymorphisms coding for amino acid changes in canonical open reading frames (ORFs).

Department of Pediatrics and Center for Cystic Fibrosis, Hadassah University Medical Center, Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel.
Background: People with cystic fibrosis (CF) variants that exhibit residual function (RF) of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator are considered to have a milder disease; however, the spectrum of CF phenotype within the different RF variants has not been extensively investigated. The aim of the present study was to characterise the spectrum of CF disease severity in people with CF (pwCF) carrying different RF variants, using the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry (ECFSPR) data.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study included data from the ECFSPR during 2008-2016.
Identifying internal and external shoulder rotation using a kirigami-based shoulder patch.

College of Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Internal and external rotation of the shoulder is often challenging to quantify in the clinic. Existing technologies, such as motion capture, can be expensive or require significant time to setup, collect data, and process and analyze the data. Other methods may rely on surveys or analog tools, which are subject to interpretation.
