Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability in the U.S., and research shows that individuals who suffer traumatic brain injury have an increased risk for suicide. This study examines the characteristics of suicide decedents with a documented traumatic brain injury history using a database containing circumstantial data on suicides and examines the differences in traumatic brain injury‒ and nontraumatic brain injury‒related suicides within the general population and within individuals with a history of military service. Logistic regression models estimated AORs and 95% CIs of suicide among those with and without a previous traumatic brain injury using data from the 2003-2017 National Violent Death Reporting System (analyzed in 2020). From 2003 to 2017, a total of 203,157 suicide decedents were identified, and 993 had a documented traumatic brain injury before suicide. Among those with a documented traumatic brain injury, a higher percentage were White non-Hispanic. Firearm injuries wetraumatic brain injury, and provide tailored interventions or referrals. This article offers an overall summary of the current situation concerning cancer-related financial toxicity from the perspective of Canadian patents and survivors. The focus is on describing the financial effects experienced by the patient and survivor and family, which they attribute to the cancer diagnosis, treatment, and other factors that contribute to their financial distress. The information was drawn from peer-reviewed research literature generated by Canadian researchers regarding out-of-pockets costs, loss of income, and the impact of financial burden over the past 2 decades. Priority was given to understanding what patients and survivors and caregivers perceived as financial burden and distress (stress and strain). Canadian patients and family members reported financial burden (out-of-pocket costs, loss of income) and financial distress following the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Heightened distress from financial burden was reported between 38% and 71% within various samples. Patients ament. Early screening and assessment followed by dialogue about the potential impact with patients and family members is important. Routine monitoring of distress related to financial toxicity should be part of ongoing care with appropriate referral to relevant recourses as needed. Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) seeking to dissuade women from abortion often appear in Internet searches for abortion clinics. We aimed to assess whether women can use screenshots from real websites to differentiate between CPCs and abortion clinics. We conducted a cross-sectional, nationally representative online study of English- and Spanish-speaking women aged 18-49years in the United States. We presented participants with screenshots from five CPCs and five abortion clinic websites and asked if they thought an abortion could be obtained at that center. We scored correct answers based on clinic type. DS8201a Outcomes included ability to correctly identify CPCs and abortion clinics as well as risk factors for misidentification. The survey also included five questions about common abortion myths and a validated health literacy assessment. We contacted 2,223 women, of whom 1,057 (48%) completed the survey and 1,044 (47%) were included in the analysis. The median score for correctly identifying CPCs as facilities not performing abortion was 2 out of 5 (Q1 0, Q3 4). The median score for correctly identifying abortion clinics as facilities performing abortion was 5 out of 5 (Q1 3, Q3 5). Those less likely to endorse abortion myths had higher odds of correctly identifying CPCs (adjusted odds ratio, 2.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.78-3.32). A low health literacy score was associated with decreased odds of correct identification of CPCs (adjusted odds ratio, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-0.59). Websites of CPCs were more difficult for women to correctly identify than those of abortion clinics. Women with limited knowledge about abortion and low health literacy may be particularly susceptible to misidentification of CPC websites.Websites of CPCs were more difficult for women to correctly identify than those of abortion clinics. Women with limited knowledge about abortion and low health literacy may be particularly susceptible to misidentification of CPC websites. We compared perceived stress between women traveling 50 or fewer miles and more than 50 miles for abortion care. Secondary objectives were to compare individual-level stigma and hardship scores in patients by distance traveled to the clinic. We performed a cross-sectional study of patients presenting for care at an independent abortion clinic in southern Illinois. Participants completed a self-administered, tablet computer-based survey asking about their experiences seeking abortion, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Individual Level Abortion Stigma (ILAS) scale. We created a composite score to characterize patient hardship regarding abortion care (range, 0-4). We examined responses stratified by the patients' self-reported one-way distance traveled to the clinic (group 1, ≤50 miles; group 2, >50 miles). A total of 308 women completed the survey. There was no significant difference in mean PSS scores (p=.71) or median ILAS scores (p=.40) between groups. A majority of the cohort reported s encountered included missing time from work and financial costs associated with the abortion. Tissue engineering in dentistry has fundamentally changed the way endodontists assess treatment options. Our previous study found that quercetin-contained mesoporous calcium silicate/calcium sulfate (MSCSQ) could induce hard tissue defect region regeneration. This study focused on whether the MSCSQ scaffold could also be effective in regulating odontogenesis and dentin regeneration. In this study, we fabricated MSCSQ composite scaffolds using the 3D printing technique. The characteristics of the MSCSQ scaffold were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and mechanical properties were also assessed. In addition, we evaluated the cell viability, cell proliferation, odontogenic-related protein expression, and mineralization behavior of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) cultured on different scaffolds. We found the precipitation of spherical-apatite on the scaffold surface rapidly in short periods. The in-vitro results for cell behavior revealed that hDPSCs with an MSCSQ scaffold were significantly higher in cell viability as followed time points.
