Characteristics of heterosexually-acquired compared to homosexually-acquired HIV and implications for clinical practice
Heterosexuals living with HIV report feeling additional HIV stigma compared to homosexual men, which may affect clinical outcomes. Yet, beyond routinely collected surveillance data, little is known about the characteristics of individuals who acquire HIV heterosexually and clinical outcomes by mode of sexual acquisition have not been directly compared. Using data from the Australian HIV Observational Database, we compared clinical characteristics…
Lower Levels of Gabaergic Function Markers in Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone-Expressing Neurons in the sgACC of Human Subjects With Depression
CRH+ cells in human sgACC are a heterogeneous population of GABAergic interneurons, although largely co-expressing VIP. Our data suggest that MDD is associated with reduced markers of inhibitory function in sgACC CRH+ interneurons, and provide further evidence for impaired GABAergic function in the cortex in MDD
Engaging hard‐to‐reach men‐who‐have‐sex‐with‐men with sexual health screening
A variety of testing options are needed to engage hard-to-reach MSM. Opportunities to enhance testing may include expanding health messaging, demystifying testing, and delinking sexual identity from sexual behavior and risk, thus promoting advantages of testing and establishing testing as standard of care
Population-level effectiveness of rapid, targeted, high-coverage roll-out of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in men who have sex with men
Understanding the Targeting and Uptake of HIV Testing Among Gay and Bisexual Men Attending Sexual Health Clinics
The Role of Genetic Sex in Affect Regulation and Expression of Gaba-Related Genes Across Species
Although circulating hormones and inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-related factors are known to affect mood, considerable knowledge gaps persist for biological mechanisms underlying the female bias in mood disorders. Here, we combine human and mouse studies to investigate sexual dimorphism in the GABA system in the context of major depressive disorder (MDD) and then use a genetic model to dissect the role of sex-related factors in GABA-r…
Clinics aren't meant for men
Men may be key players in the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI), and it is important that STI/HIV health services reach men. The objective of this study was to explore sexual health care access and seeking behaviours in men. This study used focus groups to examine sexual health care access and seeking behaviours in men 5 years after implementation of free antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the South African public sector. Six foc…
Global Accountabilities
Accountability is seen as an essential feature of governments, businesses and NGOs. This volume treats it as a socially constructed means of control that can be used by the weak as well as the powerful. It contributes analytical depth to the diverse debates on accountability in modern organizations by exploring its nature, forms and impacts in civil society organizations, public and inter-governmental agencies and private corporations. The contri…
The Fourteenth Amendment Through Roe-Colored Glasses
Critics of the "imperial judiciary" have accused the United States Supreme Court of usurping authority from legislators and executives by creating new rights that are found nowhere in the text of the Constitution. In this paper, I use two case studies to argue that unenumerated rights can be reconciled with democratic values. First, the protection of aggressive palliative care in Washington v. Glucksberg (1997) exemplifies a consensus-building de…
Downsizing and Worker Separations
Lewis D., Frisch M. and Greenberg M. (2004) Downsizing and worker separations: modelling the regional economic impacts of alternative Department of Energy workforce adjustment policies, Reg. Studies 38, 67-83. Fifty years of huge investments by the US Department of Energy (DOE) in some regions has resulted in the DOE being the de facto steward of their regional economic health. With the end of the cold war, job reductions of DOE contractor workfo…
National Government Policy Options for Contributing to Regional Economic Stability
We have conducted economic simulation, historical, and survey research that considers the national government's obligation to the regions that surround the places where it developed and tested nuclear weapons. The research shows that the strongest case for an obligation is at four site regions: Hanford (Washington), Idaho, Oak Ridge (Tennessee), and Savannah River (Georgia, South Carolina). These four are dependent on the Department of Energy (DO…
A natural flavonoid present in unripe plantain banana pulp (Musa sapientum L. var. paradisiaca) protects the gastric mucosa from aspirin-induced erosions
A Biblical Analysis of Values Clarification
The Values Clarification approach to moral education is examined and evaluated in this article in light of biblical teachings and principles as understood by evangelical Christians. Its basic assumptions and primary techniques are identified and the possible negative effects of its strategies indicated. Values Clarification morality, it is concluded, promotes situational ethics, humanistic over-optimism about human nature, and unreasoned decision…

Air pollution and human health
Approaches to measuring the impact of air pollution on human health are an important aspect of environmental benefit estimation. Existing U.K. and U.S. evidence is reviewed and some new evidence based on a cross sectional study in the U.K. is presented. This is based on the premise that the effects of air pollution should be evaluated not on directly caused deaths but on their general impact on the environment which may act synergistically with o…
