Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how urinary diversion methods during pelvic exenteration affect the quality of life for patients with recurrent gynecologic cancers.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted using validated questionnaires to measure participants’ health and functioning, dividing them into two groups based on urinary diversion type: continent (CD) and noncontinent (NCD).
- Results showed improvements in overall health and physical functioning over time, with CD patients reporting better social functioning and body image, but both groups ultimately returned to their baseline quality of life within a year after surgery.

Indoor air quality is important for the health of building occupants, and public interest in controlling indoor airborne pathogens increased dramatically with the COVID-19 pandemic. Pollutant concentrations can be controlled locally using portable air cleaners (sometimes called air purifiers), which allow occupants to apply air cleaning technology to meet their needs in the location and times that they find appropriate. This paper provides a systematic review of scientific literature that describes field studies of the effectiveness of portable air cleaners.

Background: Syringe services programs (SSPs) hold promise for providing buprenorphine treatment access to people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are reluctant to seek care elsewhere. In 2017, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) provided funding and technical assistance to nine SSPs to develop "low-threshold" buprenorphine services as part of a multipronged initiative to lower opioid-related overdose rates. The aim of this study was to identify barriers to and facilitators of implementing SSP-based buprenorphine services.

Considering that a series of complex issues such as environmental problems, sustainable development, animal welfare, and human health are on a global scale, the development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes provides a potential solution to the disparity between meat consumption demand and supply. The research and development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes have become a major commercial activity, and the market is expanding to meet the growing consumer demand. Soy protein isolates (SPI) are often used as a raw material for vegetable meat substitutes because of their potential to form fiber structures.

Accurate determination of the evolutionary relationships between genes is a foundational challenge in biology. Homology-evolutionary relatedness-is in many cases readily determined based on sequence similarity analysis. By contrast, whether or not two genes directly descended from a common ancestor by a speciation event (orthologs) or duplication event (paralogs) is more challenging, yet provides critical information on the history of a gene.
