OBJECTIVE: To compare the number of telephone queries and appointment changes requested by women aged 65–69 with women aged 50–64 . SETTING: Department of Health funded demonstration study of extending breast screening to women of 65–69. METHODS: A survey was conducted for 1 week, each month, over the period of a year. Data were collected on the date of the query, the age of the woman, whether and why the appointment was changed, and whether the location for screening was changed. RESULTS: The proportion of telephone queries or appointment changes was significantly more for women aged 50–64 ye

Abstract:

We examined stock market reactions to announcements of CEO appointments as a proxy for the perceived value created by these appointments. We examined differences in market reactions to the appointments of minority and women CEOs compared to white males. Our results indicate additional value creation through the appointment of African- American CEOs, but not through the appointment of female or Hispanic CEOs. We provide a potential explanation for this differential valuation of differing types of diversity.

Mental health disparities among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations have been documented. However, few studies have assessed differences in mental health symptom severity, substance use behavior severity, and engagement in care across TGD subgroups. Using data from the electronic health record of a community health center specializing in sexual and gender minority health, we compared the (1) severity of self-reported depression, anxiety, alcohol use, and other substance use symptoms; (2) likelihood of meeting clinical thresholds for these disorders; and (3) number of behavioral he

Abstract:

16015 Background: There are persistent disparities in cancer outcomes based on non-clinical factors such as race, socioeconomic status, and access to care. Successful treatment outcomes in oncology and symptom control depend heavily on patient compliance. To improve patient attendance at oncology appointments, the reasons why patients miss appointments must be understood, and then interventions must be enacted to rectify the problem. Methods: At the hematology/oncology clinics of Virginia Commonwealth University, the fellows’ clinic consists of patients that are primarily uninsured or underins

Physiological changes in the basic biochemical parameters in pregnant women associated with neuroendocrine and metabolic processes are listed.

Abstract:

Rosalie Wahl's appointment to the Minnesota Supreme Court and her subsequent election reveals how emotions make events historical, how they signal symbolic meanings, and how they mobilize social movements. The treatment of political women in the 1970s engendered the emotions that Wahl's appointment and campaign surfaced. Relegating women party activists to the role of chore doers rather than decision makers humiliated them. Homemakers felt discarded and downwardly mobile after divorce. Exclusion and discrimination stung women lawyers. Feminism surfaced the powerful emotions of anger, exhilarat

Abstract:

Adult weight management (AWM) clinic at our tertiary institution is a clinical service run for overweight or obese adult women, who are also under the care of gynaecologists for subfertility or menstrual irregularities. Unfortunately, the appointment waiting days for the first consultation at AWM clinic were long, which affected the timeliness of care given to our patients. We suspect that the referred patients are more likely to forget or lose motivation during the long waiting days, resulting in higher non-attendance rates.Baseline data confirmed that average of median appointment waiting da

AbstractThe issue of women serving as judges has been a contentious one in Egyptian society for nearly eight decades. While other Muslim majority countries started appointing women judges as early as the 1950s and 1960s, it was not until 2003 that the Egyptian government announced the appointment of its first ever female judge. Despite the approval of Egypt's religious scholars, her appointment was fiercely contested, among both the general public and the legal profession. In this paper we explore the question of why the appointment of women as judges provokes so much controversy in Egyptian s

Patients were interviewed between September 2012 and September 2014. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were adjusted to evaluate the variables associated with the time interval studied.

The success of development efforts depends on making women full and equal partners in all matters of the economy. Higher education, to be certain, by itself, is not a panacea, but is a necessary condition for the advancement of women in society. Through higher education, the journey towards participation in decision making power begins. Access to education is considered an important determinant of women’s appointment to decision making positions in public administration. This is because women’s increased education is positively associated with autonomy of decision making in different sectors o

Chronic oral corticosteroid therapy, which is widely used for the treatment of bronchial asthma, dermatological, rheumatic diseases, systemic diseases of the connective tissue, etc., is often a psychological obstacle to the appointment of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women in menopause. At the same time, the appointment of estrogenic drugs for this category of patients in some cases is necessary, since by reducing climacteric symptoms, stopping urogenital disorders and increasing the level of bone mass, HRT can significantly improve the quality of life.

Boards of directors play an important role in formulating corporate strategy, risk assessment, and effective governance for sustained financial performance. Although some women have successfully maintained board seats, others have been unable to do so. It is difficult to ascertain whether women are being appointed as tokens to satisfy social pressures, as little is known about the experiences of women board members in mining, which may inform or refute tokeni
