Abstract:
In the United States, hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed operations for women that is not related with pregnancy. However, not enough attention has been paid to how women's exposure to the surgery differs according to their social characteristics as well attitudinal/behavioral factors. Using cohort data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Mature Women, this study investigated two aspects: (1) the association between socioeconomic status and hysterectomy and (2) the impact of women's attitudinal/behavioral characteristics on hysterectomy.

Introduction: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws is defined as exposed irradiated bone that fails to heal over a period of 3 months without the evidence of a persisting or recurrent tumor.

Aims: The purposes of this study were to present the data of the patients that were treated for ORN in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Munich (LMU), to detect factors that contributed to the onset of ORN, to identify risk factors associated with the severity of ORN and finally, to

This study investigated the impact of bullying on suicidality in a clinical population of adolescents with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs).

However, the relationship between bullying and suicidality in adolescents with ASCs has not been investigated.

Preterm delivery (PTD) is a leading cause of infant death, and surviving infants are at risk for poor health. Data from the Iowa Health in Pregnancy Study, a case-control study of maternal stress on risk of PTD and small for gestational age (SGA) deliveries were used to address three aims: 1) develop a method to correct for error in ultrasound measurement among suspected SGA infants, 2) estimate the association of occupational stress on risk of PTD, and 3) examine injury-related risk factors for PTD. Estimates of gestational age using ultrasound can be biased if the fetus is growth-restricted,

These limitations include either grouping together all forms of maltreatment (i.e., emotional, physical, and sexual abuse) or focusing on only one form of maltreatment.

Abstract:
Objectives - To examine the incidence, clinical state, personal risk factors, haematology and biochemistry of heat exhaustion cases occurring at a deep underground metalliferous mine. To describe the underground and surface thermal conditions associated with the occurrence of heat exhaustion cases.Methods - A one-year prospective case-series of acute heat exhaustion cases was undertaken at a deep underground metalliferous mine in tropical and Australia. A case-control study of body mass index (BMI) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO(subscript)2max) in heat exhaustion was also undertaken. A history
