The suppression of sexuality is culturally widespread, and women's sexual promiscuity, activity, and enjoyment are almost always judged and punished more harshly than men's. It remains disputed, however, to what end people suppress sexuality, and who benefits from the suppression of female sexuality. Different theories predict that women in general, men in general, women's intimate partners, or parents benefit most. Here we use the lies women and men tell-or imagine telling-about their sexual histories as an indirect measure of who is most involved in the suppression of sexuality. We asked men and women what they would reply if asked questions by their mother, father, current partner, attractive confederate, and various same- or opposite-sex friends and colleagues about their number of previous sex partners, age at first romantic kiss, age at first consensual sex, and cheating on a previous partner or spouse. By comparing the size and direction of the lies that subjects told, we tested competing predictions of several cultural and evolutionary theories concerning why female sexuality is suppressed and who is driving its suppression. We found that men and women told larger and more frequent lies to their parents, with women telling the largest and most frequent lies of all to their fathers. Additionally, the majority of lies by both men and women were in sexually conservative directions. Our findings suggest that mothers, and especially fathers, restrict female sexuality.Life history theory is a fruitful source of testable hypotheses about human individual differences. However, this field of study is beset by unresolved debates about basic concepts and methods. One of these controversies concerns the usefulness of instruments that purport to tap a unidimensional life history (LH) factor based on a set of self-reported personality, social, and attitudinal variables. Here, we take a novel approach to analyzing the psychometrics of two variants of the Arizona Life History Battery the Mini-K and the K-SF-42. Psychological network analysis generates models in which psychological variables (thoughts, feelings, or behaviors) comprise the nodes of a network, while partial correlation coefficients between these variables comprise the edges of the network. Centrality indices (strength, closeness, and betweenness) operationalize each node's importance based on the pattern of the connections in which that node plays a role. Because childhood environments are hypothesized to influence adult LH, we tested the hypothesis that among the Mini-K items, and the K-SF-42 scales, those that tap relationships with parents are central to the networks (pairwise Markov random fields) constructed from these instruments. In an MTurk sample and an undergraduate sample that completed the Mini-K, and an MTurk sample that completed the K-SF-42, this hypothesis was falsified. Indeed, the "relationships with parents" items were among the most peripheral in all three networks. We propose that network analysis, as an alternative to latent variable modeling, offers considerable potential to test hypotheses about the input-output mappings of specific evolved psychological mechanisms.
Internationally, healthcare systems are providing more community-based care. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for GPs and other healthcare professionals to work in primary care and this has implications for undergraduate medical education.

In this scoping review, we aim to examine 'What factors positively influence medical students to pursue a career in general practice?'

The five-stage framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) was utilized to review the extant literature. Fourteen records were included in the review.

Medical students are influenced to pursue a career in general practice due to curriculum factors such as exposure, positive clinical rotation experiences, positive GP role models and maintaining a positive view of the profession at an early stage of their time as a medical student. Intrinsic factors such as student attributes, the influence of family, friends and the community where people live and having a strong orientation to social concerns were factors that make students more likely to pursue a career in the specialty. There is a shortage of literature from an Irish context examining the career intentions of medical students specifically. However, those studies which were conducted in Ireland reported similar findings to those conducted elsewhere.

Curriculum and personal factors have a key role in influencing students to pursue a career in general practice. As much of the existing research involves cross-sectional designs involving small numbers of participants, further research adopting prospective, quasi-experimental designs involving larger cohorts is a priority.

Single-patient, Gram-negative clinical isolates resistant to both amikacin and gentamicin (n = 292) were consecutively collected during a two-year period (2015-2016) in five tertiary care hospitals in Athens. RMT genes were detected by PCR. In all RMT-producing isolates, ESBL and carbapenemase production was confirmed by PCR, and the clonal relatedness and the plasmid contents were also characterized. None of the 138 P. aeruginosa isolates harbored any of the RMT genes surveyed although some were highly resistant to aminoglycosides (MICs > = 512 mg/L). Among 154 Enterobacterales, 31 Providencia stuartii (93.9%), 42 Klebsiella pneumoniae (37.8%), six Proteus mirabilis (75%), and two Escherichia coli (100%) isolates were confirmed as highly resistant to amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin with MICs ≥ 512 mg/L, harboring mainly the rmtB (98.8%). All were carbapenemase producers. P. stuartii, P. mirabilis, and E. coli produced VIM-type carbapenemases. K. pneumoniae produced KPC- (n = 34, 81.0%), OXA-48 (n = 4, 9.5%), KPC- and VIM- (n = 3, 7.1%), or only VIM-type (n = 1, 2.4%) enzymes. Two groups of similar IncC plasmids were detected one harboring rmtB1, blaVEB-1, blaOXA-10, and blaTEM-1, and the other additionally blaVIM-1 and blaSHV-5. Among RMT-producing Enterobacterales, rmtB1 predominated and was associated with carbapenemase-encoding gene(s). Similar IncC plasmids carrying a multiresistant region, including ESBL genes, and in the case of VIM-producing isolates, the blaVIM-1, were responsible for this dissemination. The co-dissemination of these genes poses a public health threat.
Unintentional falls and breast cancer are common among older women, but the associations between them are understudied. We aimed to identify factors associated with falls in older women with breast cancer.

We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of older women with breast cancer at Duke Medical Center who had completed the Senior Adult Oncology Program geriatric assessment. Characteristics were compared between women had had at least one fall in the past year and those who did not. Pearson's Chi-square tests and t tests were used for comparison of groups' characteristics. Logistic regression determined factors associated with falling.

We identified 425 women, age 76.2years (range 65-89years), at the time of the assessment. 118 (27.8%) women reported a fall in the prior year. Age, race, ethnicity, and time since diagnosis (all p > 0.05) were similar between groups. In univariate analyses, metastatic disease (p = 0.023) and history of endocrine therapy (p = 0.042) were more common among women who fell. Women who fell had lower systolic (p = 0.001), diastolic (p < 0.001) blood pressures, and SpO
(p = 0.018). Women who had fallen had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI p = 0.033), and were more likely to report using a walking aide (p < 0.001), nutritional issues (p = 0.006), and depression symptoms (p = 0.038). In multivariate analysis, falling was associated with low DBP (OR 0.93; p = 0.0017), low SpO
(OR 0.79; p = 0.0169), a higher CCI (OR 1.23; p = 0.0076), and depression symptoms (OR 1.61; p = 0.039).

Among older women with breast cancer, depressive symptoms, higher comorbidity level, and vital sign measurements were associated with having fallen.

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with various histopathologic subtypes. Except for invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST), other subtypes are rare with limited data. The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics and prognosis of special histopathologic subtypes of breast cancer compared to NST.

A total of 136,140 patients were analyzed using the Korean Breast Cancer Society Registry database between January 1996 and March 2019. The clinicopathologic features and survival outcomes of special type breast carcinoma were compared with those of NST.

The prevalence of special subtypes other than NST was 13.7% (n = 18,633). Compared to NST, patients with lobular, medullary, metaplastic, and micropapillary carcinoma had larger tumors (p < 0.001). Patients with mucinous, tubular, medullary, metaplastic, and cribriform carcinoma presented with less node metastasis (p < 0.001), contrary to patients with micropapillary carcinoma. Tamoxifen order Patients with lobular, mucinous, tubular, papillary,, except for metaplastic carcinoma and medullary carcinoma.
To investigate whether fertility preservation (FP) in adult women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) may impact the time interval between diagnosis and start of chemotherapy in an adjuvant or neo-adjuvant setting.

Retrospective cohort study of breast cancer patients diagnosed between January 2012 and December 2017 undergoing FP at a tertiary-care academic fertility centre before neo-adjuvant (NAC) or adjuvant chemotherapy (AC), and matched control breast cancer patients who had no FP. FP interventions included oocyte vitrification following ovarian stimulation or after in-vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes, and/or ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Controls from the patient database of the affiliated Breast Cancer Clinic were matched for tumour characteristics and type of treatment. Time intervals between cancer diagnosis and the start of chemotherapy were analysed.

Fifty-nine BC patients underwent FP 29 received NAC and 30 received AC. The average interval between diagnosis and chemotherapy in BC patients with NAC was 28.5days (27.3 (range 14.0-44.0) days in cases and 29.6 (range 14.0-62.0) days in controls (NS)); this interval was 58.9days in BC patients with AC (57.2 (range 36.0-106.0) days in cases and 60.7 (range 31.0-105.0) days in controls (NS)).

Fertility preservation does not delay the start of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
