The Oceania region is home to some of the world's most restrictive abortion laws, and there is evidence of Pacific Island women's reproductive oppression across several aspects of their reproductive lives, including in relation to contraceptive decision-making, birthing, and fertility. In this paper we analyse documents from court cases in the Pacific Islands regarding the illegal procurement of abortion. We undertook inductive thematic analysis of documents from eighteen illegal abortion court cases from Pacific Island countries. Using the lens of reproductive justice, we discuss the methods of abortion, the reported context of these abortions, and the ways in which these women and abortion were constructed in judges' summing up, judgements, or sentencing. Our analysis of these cases reveals layers of sexual and reproductive oppression experienced by these women that are related to colonialism, women's socioeconomic disadvantage, gendered violence, limited reproductive control, and the punitive consequences related to not performing gender appropriately.
This study proposes contemporary physical therapist clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) with special reference to heart failure (HF) be grounded in an evidence-informed integrative health and lifestyle framework to not only better reflect the totality and weighting of the literature, but also in the interest of superior patient, clinical, and economic outcomes.

As an illustration, a health and lifestyle framework is described to underpin, thereby complement, recently published physical therapist CPGs for individuals with HF.

The case for the framework, an alternative to a single-disease biomedical perspective, is consistent with 21st century professional and epidemiologic indicators. Four themes that emerged from the HF CPGs and further support such a framework, emerged that is, limitations of conventionally constructed CPGs; physical therapists' scope of practice as "health" professionals; "best" practice in an era of NCDs including HF; and superior economic benefit.

A health and lifestyle framework underpinning contemporary physical therapist CPGs will enable clinicians to better appreciate the power of lifestyle change in maximizing the health of the heart, its healing and repair, and in mitigating and reversing signs and symptoms of cardiac dysfunction. Further, a focus on health and lifestyle will augment the benefits of the core, evidence-based, key action statements related to exercise in the HF CPGs.

The study group (AMX-CLG) comprised 40 adults requiring dental extractions under general anesthesia who were administered a prophylactic regimen of 1875/125 mg of AMX-CL orally 1-2 h prior to the surgery. Venous blood samples were collected from each patient at baseline and at 30 s and 15 min after dental extractions. Samples were inoculated into BACTEC Plus culture bottles and processed in the BACTEC 9240. Conventional microbiological techniques were used for subcultures and further identification of the isolated bacteria. The results for the AMX-CLG were compared with those of a control group (CG; no prophylaxis) and an amoxicillin group (AMXG; 2 g of amoxicillin orally), consisting of randomly selected patients from among those participating in two clinical trials that we have previously published. The prevalence of bacteremia in the CG, AMXG, and AMX-CLG was 97%, 50%, and 15%, respectively, at 30 s after completing the extractions, and 67%, 10%, and 4% at 15 min, respectively, after the last extraction. The prevalence of bacteremia in the AMXG and the AMX-CLG at 30 s and at 15 min after completing the extractions was significantly lower than that in the CG (p less then 0.001 and p less then 0.001, respectively; Fisher's exact test). The prevalence of bacteremia in the AMX-CLG at 30 s after completing the extractions was significantly lower than that in the AMXG (p less then 0.001; Fisher's exact test). Based in the results of this preliminary study, oral AMX-CL could be an excellent option for preventing bacteremia secondary to dental procedures in patients at risk.
Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) plays an epigenetic role in various cancer through N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. This study sought to analyze the mechanism of METTL14 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell proliferation.

Expression levels of METTL14, lncRNA metastasis associated with lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1), microRNA (miR)-224-5p, and histone lysine demethylase 2A (KDM2A) in OSCC tissues (N=40), and cell lines (FaDu, SCC-25, CAL-27, and SCC-15) were detected. Cell viability and colony formation capacity were assessed. m6A level, stability, and subcellular localization of lncRNA MALAT1 were determined. Nude mouse xenograft tumor assay was performed to confirm the role of METTL14 in vivo.

METTL14 and lncRNA MALAT1 were upregulated, and miR-224-5p was downregulated in OSCC tissues and cells. Silencing METTL14 repressed OSCC cell viability and colony formation. Overexpression of MALAT1 and KDM2A or miR-224-5p downregulation reversed the inhibition of silencing METTL14 on OSCC cell proliferation. METTL14 induced m6A modification of MALAT1 to upregulate MALAT1. MALAT1 is comparatively bound to miR-224-5p to promote KDM2A transcription. NSC16168 price In vivo, METTL14promoted tumor growth via regulating MALAT1/miR-224-5p/ KDM2A.

Overall, our findings verified the therapeutic role of silencing METTL14 in OSCC treatment through the MALAT1/miR-224-5p/KDM2A axis.

Genetic abnormalities that may represent therapeutic targets and prognostic factors in ACC remain unclear. Besides being one of the main cellular defense mechanisms that regulates antioxidant pathways for detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS), the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) promotes tumor proliferation by increasing metabolic activity. In surgical specimens from 12 cases of nonmetastatic ACCs and nine cases of benign adrenocortical adenoma (ACA), we investigated gene mutation and protein expressions for Nrf2 and the preoperative maximum standard glucose uptake (SUVmax) on [18 F]fluorodeoxy-glucose positron emission tomography. Three of five ACCs with a Weiss score of 7 to 9 were Nrf2 mutants; these ACCs had higher expression of Nrf2 and higher preoperative SUVmax. The other seven ACCs had a Weiss score of 3 to 6; these seven ACCs and all the ACAs were non-Nrf2 gene mutants. Patients with a Weiss score of 7 to 9 and Nrf2 mutant ACC had shorter overall survival. Based on Helsinki scoring, three ACCs with a Helsinki score greater than 17 had Nrf2 mutants, higher expression of Nrf2, higher preoperative SUVmax, and shorter overall survival. Our findings indicate that Nrf2 activation and the associated increase in metabolism play roles in ACC, in particular in ACC with a Weiss score of 7 to 9 and a Helsinki score of greater than 17.WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Myanmar have been exposed to conflict and violence for a long time and experience physical, psychological and social problems. Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are more prevalent among IDPs than among general populations and refugees, and limited research is available on this topic among IDPs in Myanmar. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE? More than one-third of the IDPs in our sample from Myanmar camps had a high PTSS score. More than two-thirds experienced traumatic events and left home after age 18. The overall functional health of IDPs was poor, and the presence or absence of PTSS led to differences in the factors associated with functional health in each group. Resilience and PTSS were associated with the functional health of IDPs in Myanmar. Further, functional health was positively correlated with levels of resilience among those relatively low in PTSS. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE? Mental health nurses need to aand multiple linear regression with interaction analyses.

Over one-third of the participants had PTSS, with low functional health scores. The greater the resilience, the better the functional health. The higher participants' PTSS, the poorer their functional health. There was a significant interaction between resilience and PTSS.

Tailored resilience-building programs, as well as health policies and services, are needed to enhance IDPs' functional health and help them overcome PTSS.

Psychological first aid should be provided to minimize PTSS experienced in situations of ongoing conflict and violence. Mental health nurses should be trained to assess IDPs' health status and tailor interventions accordingly.

Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is common in clinical populations. Childhood maltreatment (CM) and attitudes both towards oneself and towards DSH may be of importance for the development of DSH. This study aimed to test whether patients with DSH report more CM, more negative attitudes towards oneself and more positive attitudes towards DSH than a clinical and a healthy comparison group, and whether the effects of CM are mediated by negative attitudes towards oneself.

Females with DSH and psychiatric disorders (n = 34), females without DSH but with psychiatric disorders (n = 31) and healthy female individuals (n = 29) were compared regarding DSH, CM, attitudes towards the self and attitudes towards self-harm.

Females with DSH reported more emotional abuse and more self-hatred as compared to both comparison groups. The effect of emotional abuse was mediated by self-hatred. The DSH-group had significantly more positive attitudes towards DSH than the healthy comparison group.

Self-hatred and CM in the form of emotional abuse may be distinguishing characteristics of female patients with DSH in psychiatric settings. The present results are compatible with the hypothesis that emotional abuse leads to DSH via self-hatred, but the cross-sectional nature of the study precludes any causal conclusions. The clinical utility of the results is discussed.
