Background: With Trump's presidency came a rise in the oppression of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people, as the nation witnessed a removal of protections for TGD people.
Method: We examined the daily experiences of 181 TGD individuals (ages 16-40, age = 25.6) through their reflections about daily stressors over the course of 8 weeks (data collected fall 2015-summer 2017), some of which reflected shifts during the election period.
Results: During 2016 presidential election, participants reported a rise in marginalization stress and the subsequent impact on safety, mental health, and well-being. There were three emergent themes: External Rejection and Stigma from Dominant Culture; Supporting the TGD Community; and Fear for the Self and Development of Proximal Stressors.
Conclusion: In line with marginalization stress theory, participants vocalized the progression from exterior stigmatization to proximal stressors and their heightened sense of vigilance and fear of the dominant culture.

J. Michael McGinnis, National Academy of Medicine.
In 2016, ahead of the US presidential election, the National Academy of Medicine launched the strategic initiative Vital Directions for Health and Health Care-a series of papers on critical areas of US health care written by the nation's experts and intended to provide nonpartisan guidance to the incoming administration. The National Academy of Medicine continued the initiative in 2021. The current series, titled Vital Directions for Health and Health Care: Priorities for 2025, contains six articles on priority areas in US health and medicine that demand urgent attention.

Article Synopsis
- Sleep deprivation is linked to significant health risks, including an increased likelihood of influenza, particularly following acute sleep deprivation events (ASDEs) identified in a large population study.
- The study used data from Fitbit users to analyze sleep patterns and health outcomes, revealing a correlation between political/non-political events and instances of decreased sleep.
- Genetic factors related to sleep duration were found to influence both the severity of sleep deprivation and the risk of subsequent health issues, emphasizing the need for awareness of health impacts during major national events.
Financial Difficulty Over Time in Young Adults With Breast Cancer.

Importance: Young adults aged 18 to 39 years represent the minority of breast cancer diagnoses but are particularly vulnerable to financial hardship. Factors contributing to sustained financial hardship are unknown.
Objectives: To identify financial hardship patterns over time and characterize factors associated with discrete trajectories; it was hypothesized that treatment-related arm morbidity, a key source of expense, would be associated with long-term financial difficulty.
FOXR2 Targets LHX6+/DLX+ Neural Lineages to Drive Central Nervous System Neuroblastoma.
Cancer Res

Lady Davis Research Institute, Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, Canada.
Central nervous system neuroblastoma with forkhead box R2 (FOXR2) activation (NB-FOXR2) is a high-grade tumor of the brain hemispheres and a newly identified molecular entity. Tumors express dual neuronal and glial markers, leading to frequent misdiagnoses, and limited information exists on the role of FOXR2 in their genesis. To identify their cellular origins, we profiled the transcriptomes of NB-FOXR2 tumors at the bulk and single-cell levels and integrated these profiles with large single-cell references of the normal brain.

Immunisation is a high priority for improving health outcomes. Yet, in many low-income and middle-income countries, achieving coverage targets independently is hindered by lack of domestic resources and reliance on partners' support. Both the 2001 Abuja Declaration and 2016 Addis Declaration were key political commitments to improving immunisation coverage; however, many signatories have yet to meet international targets.
