- Abstract
Background: Latines suffer from breast cancer (BC), due to elevated biological and social determinants of health (SDOH) risks. This study compares the effects of different strategies on uptake of cancer genetic services, specifically hereditary cancer risk assessment, genetic counseling, and genetic testing, and risk-based BC care., Design/methods: In Chicago, Illinois, Aim 1 participants are recruited from a federally qualified health center (FQHC) and community venues. For Aim 1, eligible participants: (1) are female; (2) are Latine; (3) are 30+ years old; (4) have personal or family history of BC or cancers with shared hereditary mutations; (5) have at least one SDOH risk; and (6) have not received any cancer genetic services. Participants are randomly assigned to different study arms. Both arms include phone-based sessions, FQHC-based navigation for SDOH, and low- or no-cost cancer genetic services. The educate sessions focus on risk assessment and prevention. The empower sessions focus on risk assessment and equip participants with the skills to share information about FQHC-based cancer genetic services. For Aim 2, eligible participants are: (1) female; (2) network members of Aim 1 participants; and (3) eligible for BC screening based on guidelines recommended by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Primary outcomes include uptake of any cancer genetic services. Analyses will also explore intervention differences by neighborhood context., Discussion: This is one of the first trials focused on Latines' participation in cancer genetic services and risk-based BC care within the context of SDOH - which has major implications for equity in precision cancer prevention., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to report., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Objective: To assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression and their associated risk factors throughout the pregnancy and postpartum process using a new screening for the early detection of mental health problems., Design: A prospective cross-sectional descriptive multicentred study. Participants were consecutively enrolled at ≥ 12 weeks' gestation and followed at three different time points: at 12-14 weeks of pregnancy, at 29-30 weeks of pregnancy, and 4-6 weeks postpartum. All women completed a mental screening at week 12-14 of pregnancy consisting of two questions from the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-2) and the two Whooley questions. If this screening was positive, the woman completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)., Setting: Seven primary care centres coordinated by a Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department in the city of Terrassa (Barcelona) in northern Spain., Participants: Pregnant women (N = 335, age 18-45 years), in their first trimester of pregnancy, and receiving prenatal care in the public health system between July 2018 and July 2020., Findings: The most relevant factors associated with positive screening for antenatal depression or anxiety during pregnancy, that appear after the first trimester of pregnancy, are systematically repeated throughout the pregnancy, and are maintained in the postpartum period were: a history of previous depression, previous anxiety, abuse, and marital problems. In weeks 12-14 early risk factors for positive depression and anxiety screening and positive EPDS were: age, smoking, educational level, employment status, previous psychological/psychiatric history and treatment, suicide in the family environment, voluntary termination of pregnancy and current planned pregnancy, living with a partner and partner's income. In weeks 29-30 risk factors were: being a skilled worker, a history of previous depression or anxiety, and marital problems. In weeks 4-6 postpartum, risk factors were: age, a history of previous depression or anxiety or psychological/psychiatric treatment, type of treatment, having been mistreated, and marital problems., Conclusions: Early screening for anxiety and depression in pregnancy may enable the creation of more effective healthcare pathways, by acting long before mental health problems in pregnant women worsen or by preventing their onset. Assessment of anxiety and depression symptoms before and after childbirth and emotional support needs to be incorporated into routine practice., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Advanced maternal age is associated with a decline in oocyte quality, which often leads to reproductive failure in humans. However, the mechanisms behind this age-related decline remain unclear. To gain insights into this phenomenon, we applied plexDIA, a multiplexed, single-cell mass spectrometry method, to analyze the proteome of oocytes from both young women and women of advanced maternal age. Our findings primarily revealed distinct proteomic profiles between immature fully grown germinal vesicle and mature metaphase II oocytes. Importantly, we further show that a woman's age is associated with changes in her oocyte proteome. Specifically, when compared to oocytes obtained from young women, advanced maternal age oocytes exhibited lower levels of the proteasome and TRiC complex, as well as other key regulators of proteostasis and meiosis. This suggests that aging adversely affects the proteostasis and meiosis networks in human oocytes. The proteins identified in this study hold potential as targets for improving oocyte quality and may guide future studies into the molecular processes underlying oocyte aging.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Despite that 93% of people indicate that a mattress plays a pivotal role in achieving high-quality sleep, there is a scarcity of research investigating the influence of mattresses on sleep quality, pain, and mood in nonclinical poor sleepers. The purpose was to examine the effectiveness of a pressure-releasing medium-firm grid mattress on sleep and health outcomes (e.g., mood, pain, daytime fatigue) of adults with nonclinical insomnia symptoms using a quasi-experimental design., Methods: Participants were 39 adults (mean age = 45.29) with nonclinical insomnia (i.e., occasional sleeplessness). Following 1 week of baseline assessments on their current mattress, they slept on a pressure-relieving grid mattress for 8 weeks. Participants completed self-report assessments of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Berlin Questionnaire, Insomnia Severity Index, Restorative Sleep Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Profile of Mood States, Daytime Fatigue Scale, Pain and Sleep Questionnaire, and Brief Pain Inventory at Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8. Participants continually wore an Oura Ring to objectively assess sleep and daytime activity. The data were collected from January 2022 to April 2022 and were stored electronically. Repeated-measures analyses of variance were used to analyze mean time differences., Results: Self-reported sleep quality, perceived pain, perceived stress, mood, and daytime fatigue improved significantly from Baseline to Week 8, p 's < 0.05. Objective Oura Ring validated the self-reported sleep and daytime activity outcomes with improvements in sleep duration, time awake during the night, light sleep, deep sleep, and total sleep time, p 's < 0.05. No significant time effects were evidenced for rapid eye movement sleep. No adverse events were reported., Conclusion: The grid mattress is a simple, noninvasive, and nonpharmacological intervention that improved adults sleep quality and health. Controlled trials are encouraged to examine the effects of this mattress in a variety of populations and environments., Competing Interests: Heather A. Hausenblas, Stephanie L. Hooper, Martin Barragan, and Tarah Lynch declare no conflict of interest. Michael Breus served as a former consultant for Purple, LLC., (© 2024 The Authors.
