In 3 studies, 150 undergraduates and 75 MBA students, men and women, were exposed to selection policies differing in the degree to which merit and group membership were weighted in selection decisions involving women. Results indicated that in self-views and self-assessments of beneficiaries (Study 1), competence perceptions on the part of others (Study 2), and work-related reactions of nonbeneficiaries (Study 3), many, but not all, negative reactions to sex-based preferential selection were alleviated when the policy made clear that merit considerations were central to the decision-making process. In the absence of information about policy type, participants acted as if merit had not been a factor in preferential selection decisions.

Background: The relationship between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral dynamics during acute infection and the development of long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), or "long COVID," is largely unknown.
Methods: Between October 2021 and February 2022, 7361 people not known to have COVID-19 self-collected nasal swab samples for SARS-CoV-2 reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction testing every 24-48 hours for 10-14 days. Participants whose first known SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected were surveyed for long COVID in August 2023.

People with chronic pain mitigate their suffering by the action of opioids. Adverse reactions aside, opioids are not exempt from potential complications like addiction and abuse, which have posed a global public health problem lately. Finding new therapeutic strategies to improve analgesia and to reduce opioid side effects has become a priority.

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant health issue linked to medications, supplements, and herbal products, with increased concern due to an aging population and higher use of biologics, especially in those with chronic illnesses.
- The review shows that DILI incidence is higher in hospitalized patients and suggests that older adults and women might experience it more due to increased medication use and physiological changes with aging.
- The article concludes that while more research is needed to understand the complexities of DILI, particularly regarding drug properties and non-genetic host factors, addressing these knowledge gaps is essential for better prevention and management.
Effects of Sex and Gender in Immediate β-Lactam Antibiotic Allergy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract

Division of Allergic Diseases, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.
Article Synopsis
- β-Lactams are the most commonly reported antibiotics linked to allergic reactions, with prior studies indicating higher rates of penicillin allergies in females.
- This systematic review aimed to analyze sex- and gender-based differences in immediate β-lactam allergy prevalence by reviewing studies from multiple databases over a decade.
- The results revealed no overall difference in allergy prevalence between genders but indicated a higher risk of allergy in females during oral challenges, possibly due to biological factors and increased healthcare utilization among women.
