Survival, trust, and compassion
Background: Members of Black sexual and gender minority (BSGM) groups in the Southern US experience disparities across all pillars of the HIV prevention continuum. Social network strategy (SNS) is an intervention that trains people with reasons to test for HIV to reach out to peers to increase HIV testing and may improve uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We conducted formative research to design an enhanced SNS to implement within partne…
Development of evidence-based tools using human-centered design to promote PrEP uptake for young men who have sex with men of color
We conducted formative interviews and design workshops to tailor evidence-based tools addressing informational needs around pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among men who have sex with men (MSM) of color. Clients (n = 18) and providers (n = 19) were interviewed to explore needs and preferences for PrEP-related decision-making tools. Next, we developed an analysis matrix to design personas to tailor materials to real-world contexts. Existing Pr…
Development of Functional Abilities Assessment in Paediatric Oncology (Faap-O) Scale for Children and Adolescents Affected by Cancer
Background/Objectives : Functional abilities are fundamental for social participation. However, functional abilities assessment tools validated for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatment are lacking. A preliminary validation of the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) scale for children with cancer found that some items are unable to discriminate or distinguish between different gross motor function levels. This study aims to d…
Quality of Life in Children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
The severity and visibility of NF1 have distinct impacts on various aspects of QoL in children, highlighting the need for tailored interventions that address both physical and psychological challenges. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive care approaches in managing NF1 in pediatric populations
Cutaneous body image in psoriasis
The aim of this study was to estimate the contribution of adult attachment style and alexithymia to cutaneous body image in patients with psoriasis while controlling for the confounding effects of disease severity and depressive symptoms. Participants were 107 consecutive patients (60% women) with a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis. Cutaneous body dissatisfaction was measured with the Cutaneous Body Image Scale (CBIS) and disease severity with …
Association between Hepatic Steatosis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children and Adolescents with Obesity
Hepatic steatosis seems to drive the association between OSA and ALT levels, suggesting a potential pathogenic role of OSA in NAFLD
Sleep Macrostructure and NREM Sleep Instability Analysis in Pediatric Developmental Coordination Disorder
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is considered to be abnormal motor skills learning, identified by clumsiness, slowness, and/or motor inaccuracy impairing the daily-life activities in all ages of life, in the absence of sensory, cognitive, or neurological deficits impairment. The present research focuses on studying DCD sleep structure and Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP) parameters with a full overnight polysomnography and to study the …
Maternal Stress and Coping Strategies in Developmental Dyslexia
Our study shows the clinical relevance of the burden carried by the mothers of children affected by DD and suggests the importance to assess parents, particularly mothers, to improve family compliance and clinical management of this disorder
The Laugh That Dare Not Speak Its Name
This piece is an exploration into the world of lesbian humor, lesbian comedy and the lesbian comedian. A brief look at the history of lesbian comedy shows us that it is definitely not a contemporary movement but has been around for well over a decade. How do we define lesbian humor and what is a lesbian comic? The answers to these questions are discussed with reference tO my Own performing career as a lesbian comedian in Britain. The difference b…
