Rates of skin cancer in Australia are amongst the highest in the world, with Western New South Wales (NSW) exhibiting very high prevalence. There is a large proportion of outdoor workers, including farmers, in Western NSW who have high levels of sun exposure and hence are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. To characterise the current sun safety practices of farmers in Western NSW and explore their knowledge, attitudes and perceived barriers towards sun safety and its implementation. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted using a self-directed questionnaire. Participants were recruited at field days held in Western NSW and through surveys distributed at general practices, local stores and online. Eligibility criteria were aged 18 years and over and currently working on a farm in the study region. Of the 144 participants, 89 (61.8%) were male with a mean age of 49 years. Knowledge of sun safety was relatively high with most questions answered correctly by greater than 80% of participants. Risk of developing skin cancer was underestimated in 58 (40.3%) participants. Of all participants, 89 (62.2%) identified one or more barriers to practicing sun safety. The most common barrier was forgetfulness in 62 (43.4%) participants. The identification of barriers was significantly associated with reduced engagement of sun safety practices (p= 0.009). Knowledge of sun safety among farmers was high. There was, however, underestimation of risk of developing skin cancer. Addressing perceived barriers to implementing sun safety could improve sun safety practices in this cohort.Knowledge of sun safety among farmers was high.

The negative impact of anemia on work capacity has been studied extensively in male and female workers; however, the simultaneous contributions of confounding variables such as physical activity, as well as other behavioral and sociodemographic characteristics have not been considered. The purpose of this study was to examine cross-sectionally the multivariable correlates of work capacity in non-pregnant women (n = 330) living in rural India. The Reduction in Anemia through Normative Innovations (RANI) Project is a norms-based, clustered randomized controlled trial to reduce anemia among women (15-49 years) living in Odisha, India between 2018 and 2021. For the larger trial, 89 clusters of villages were randomized into treatment and control groups on a 11 basis. Women (2055/group) living in 15 selected clusters (40-41 villages) were then randomly selected for data collection. The sampling design also randomly-generated a subset (n = 375) of non-pregnant participants who performed a modified Queen's Colleg marginally associated with work capacity in the presence of the other covariables (β = 0.22; 95% CI-0.02, 0.47). Our data indicate that factors other than anemia are important correlates of work capacity and should be considered when promoting the health and economic capacity of rural Indian women.

Low back pain during pregnancy and postpartum is common and might not arouse clinical interest. buy OTX008 -associated breast cancer is often found as a breast mass, but its diagnosis is difficult during pregnancy and postpartum. As more women delay their first pregnancies, its incidence may increase in the future. The patient was a 30-year-old gravida 3, para 3. She had low back pain from the second trimester of her previous two pregnancies, which improved spontaneously after delivery. In her third pregnancy, she again developed low back pain in the second trimester. Her delivery was normal. However, her low back pain continued for up to 7 months postpartum and then worsened sharply. A whole-body scan revealed a compression fracture due to multiple spinal metastases of breast cancer. As she had not complained about her breasts, they had not been closely examined. This case shows the importance of considering bone metastases from breast cancer in the differential diagnosis of patients with low back pain during pregnancy and postpartum.This case shows the importance of considering bone metastases from breast cancer in the differential diagnosis of patients with low back pain during pregnancy and postpartum. Early life stress (ELS) has been linked to poor mental and physical health outcomes in adolescence and adulthood. Mindfulness reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves cognitive and social outcomes in both youth and adults. However, little is known whether mindfulness can mitigate against the adverse neurobiological and psychological effects of ELS. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of conducting a group mindfulness intervention in adolescents with ELS and provide preliminary indication of potential effects on stress-related biomarkers and mental health symptoms. Forty adolescents were randomized to receive either eight sessions of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens in group format (MBSR-T; n = 21) or Treatment as Usual Control group (CTRL; n = 17). Outcomes were assessed at baseline and follow-up and included measures associated with neurobiological functioning (immune and endocrine biomarkers) and self-reported mental health (depressive) symptoms.

HIV-positive mothers who face the dual burden of HIV-positive status and motherhood, may benefit from holistic services that include early childhood development (ECD). We evaluated the acceptability and impact of integrated ECD-PMTCT interventions for mothers and their children. We implemented an integrated ECD-PMTCT intervention in 4 health facilities in Malawi for HIV-positive mothers and their infants. #link# WHO/UNICEF Care for Child Development (CCD) education and counseling sessions were offered during routine PMTCT visits between infant age 1.5-24 months. From June-July 2019, we conducted in-depth interviews with 29 mothers enrolled in the intervention for ≥6 months across 4 health facilities. The interview guide focused on perceived impact of the intervention on mothers' ECD and PMTCT practices, including barriers and facilitators, and unmet needs related to the program. Data were coded and analyzed using constant comparison methods in Atlas ti.8. The vast majority of mothers believed the ECD-PMTCT intervention improved their overall experience with the PMTCT services, strengthened their relationship with providers, and excited and motivated them to attend PMTCT services during the postpartum period.
