Filter by:Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the opinions of earthquake victims about the problems affecting women's health physically and psychosocially after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake. Method: The study was designed in a qualitative type (semi-structured). The population of the study consisted of women affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş-Pazarcık earthquake. 15 women were interviewed.
Gender bias and stereotypes have been recognized as pervasive factors influencing various aspects of society, including professional settings. Within the realm of medical practice, understanding the potential impacts of such biases on performance is of paramount importance. Anesthesiology, a field that demands technical precision, teamwork, and rapid decision-making, is not immune to the potential effects of gender stereotypes on performance outcomes. This study aims to explore the potential influence of gender stereotype manipulation and stereotype threat on the fiber-optic intubation (FOE) performance of female anesthesiology residents. Stereotype threat refers to the apprehension individuals experience when their actions or abilities are evaluated within the context of negative stereotypes associated with their social group. Such threat has been shown to adversely affect cognitive and motor performance in various domains. In medical education, where skills are honed through training, understanding the role of stereotype threat is crucial to fostering equitable learning environments and ensuring patient safety.
The impact of donor and recipient gender combination on kidney transplant outcomes has been reported in several studies. The results vary greatly due to different factors, such as minor histocompatibility antigens, nephron overload, sex hormones, etc. Despite advancements in clinical practice, no large-scale studies exploring this question in living donor kidney transplantation have been conducted in the subsequent two decades. Our study aims to address this research gap and provide updated information on outcomes in relation to the gender combination following living donor kidney transplantation.
In 2021 and following the COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) pandemic, different vaccines were initially authorized in Italy and Lebanon. Notably, vaccine side effects were poorly recorded. Thus, the investigator performed a survey study to monitor COVID-19 vaccine side effects among Italian and Lebanese citizens according to gender and age through a web-based questionnaire in Italian and Arabic languages including 21 items by "Google Form", investigating 13 symptoms, and employing social-media platforms
This study aimed to gather more information regarding two clinically relevant tests: The Test of Mastication and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS) and the Timed Water Swallow Test (TWST). Both tests can be used clinically as part of swallowing disorders evaluation. The aims of the study were to assess the reliability of the two tests, to document the effects of age and gender on the outcome measures of the TOMASS and TWST and to explore the relationship between participants' function in the two tests. To do that, 298 healthy participants were included. All of them did not have dysphagia. Most of them were elderly.
There is a relationship between depression and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided. A psychological state such as anxiety, depression, body image, and self-esteem may be affected from the symptoms of periodontal disease.
Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at 2- to 4-fold higher risk of cardiovascular mortality compared with non-diabetic subjects. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in almost half of diabetic population in Spain. Female patients with T2DM have up to 40% excess risk of CVD compared with men and the causes are still unknown. It is argued that a tight control of cardiovascular risk factors could improve the situation. Hypothesis: The cardiovascular risk factors management in women with T2DM is different than in men with T2DM. Aims: To assess the therapeutic approach of cardiovascular risk factors and the occurrence of cardiovascular events among women in comparison to men with T2DM. Methodology: Observational study based on clinical records of primary health care from T2DM patients in Catalonia (2007-2013). Source: SIDIAP database. Analysis: The two study groups (women and men) will be matched to ensure balance in terms of basal comorbidities and previous cardiovascular disease in order to describe the study group characteristics and to perform a multivariate modeling approach. Applicability and Relevance: This study is intended to serve to identify the points of improvement of the cardiovascular risk factors therapeutic approach in women.
Recent studies show an important influence of gender on inflammatory reactions. Cardiac surgery is associated with a major systemic inflammatory response. The investigators want to evaluate the gender influence on morbi-mortality in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.
This study will involve the collection and analysis of urine samples from non-pregnant women to determine the existence of alternating redox status between two consecutive menstrual cycles.
The major aim of the proposed study is to develop a gender-sensitive individually tailored add-on intervention that focusses on improving individual gender-specific SIRs (subjective illness representations) in obese or overweight individuals. We will investigate whether this will improve compliance with and long-term success of common weight loss interventions. The effectiveness of this intervention in every-day-life with regard to weight-related behavioral changes and weight loss will be evaluated within a randomized controlled setting.To enhance the applicability of the intervention in every-day-life and its dissemination we plan to develop a smart-phone-based intervention.
