The Gender Role Conflict Scale - Short Form (GRCS-SF) assesses a person's masculine gender role conflict. Masculine gender role conflict results when a person experiences discomfort showing a certain behavior because it is in conflict with masculine norms. The aim of the study was to test the questionnaire's psychometric properties in an Austrian sample of older men. Three alternative structural models of the GRCS-SF were tested with confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). The maximum-likelihood method and the Bollen-Stine Bootstrap Method were used to estimate the fit indices of the CFA. Convergent validity was tested by correlating the GRCS-SF with the Sexual Performance Belief Scale (SPBS). Participating in the study were 127 male in-patients of a university hospital. Men's average age was 59.5 ( = 14.6) years. The one-factor model did not fit the empirical data well. In contrast, both the four-factor structure model and the bifactor structure model were supported. Good internal consistencies indicated acceptable reliabilities of the questionnaire's scales. As expected, moderate to large correlations with the SPBS were detected. These findings support the claim that the GRCS-SF is a reliable and valid tool for assessing men's gender role conflict also in a sample of older men in Austria.

Does greater parental involvement lead to increased cooperation in their adolescent children? Are the effects of paternal and maternal involvement equivalent? In order to explore the above issues, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of 682 two-parent families to investigate the relationship between parental involvement and adolescents' cooperative tendencies and the mediating role of parent-child trust. The results show that paternal involvement directly predict adolescents' cooperative tendencies, while maternal involvement could not directly predict cooperative tendencies. In addition, parent-child trust mediates the relationship between parental involvement and adolescents' cooperative tendencies.

The concept of "gender" refers to the socially constructed characteristics that define feminine or masculine behavior, which are constantly changing and can influence access to healthcare and patterns of help-seeking. These factors significantly impact forensic toxicology, a key area within the medicolegal landscape, forcing the adoption of a gender-sensitive approach to better understand the differing impacts of substances on men and women. Research indicates significant disparities in drug use between genders; men are more likely to abuse alcohol and illicit drugs, while women tend to use prescription medications.

Objective: Asthma poses a significant health burden in South Asia, with increasing incidence and mortality despite a global decline in age-standardized prevalence rates. This study aims to analyze asthma trends from 1990 to 2021, focusing on prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across South Asia. The study also assesses the impact of risk factors like high body mass index (BMI), smoking, and occupational exposures on asthma outcomes.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia has a high female predominance and research work has been focussing mainly on women.
Objectives: We aimed to answer (1) gender differences in pain scores and quality of life, (2) any gender-specific subgroups defined by quantitative sensory testing (QST), and (3) correlations of QST parameters with pain intensity and questionnaire scores.
Methods: We evaluated clinical presentations and QST profiles from 38 male and 38 age-matched female patients.

Background: Within the realm of primary brain tumors, specifically glioblastoma (GBM), presents a notable obstacle due to their unfavorable prognosis and differing median survival rates contingent upon tumor grade and subtype. Despite a plethora of research connecting cardiotrophin-1 (CTF1) modifications to a range of illnesses, its correlation with glioma remains uncertain. This study investigated the clinical value of CTF1 in glioma and its potential as a biomarker of the disease.
