    8% vs. KTR 96.8%, p = .06). KTR with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (24 births) had similar outcomes compared to SPKR. In this national cohort, pregnancy outcomes were similar between SPKR and KTR mothers; however, findings should be interpreted with caution due to small sample sizes.Enhanced cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-E) is one of the primary evidence-based treatments for adults with eating disorders (EDs). However, up to 50% of individuals do not respond to CBT-E, likely because of the high heterogeneity present even within similar diagnoses. This high heterogeneity, especially in regard to presenting pathology, makes it difficult to develop a treatment based “on averages” and for clinicians to accurately pinpoint which symptoms should be targeted in treatment. As such, new models based at both the group, and individual level, are needed to more accurately refine targets for personalized evidence-based treatments that can lead to full remission. The current study (Expected N = 120 anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa) will build both group and individual longitudinal models of ED behaviors, cognitions, affect, and physiology. We will collect data for 30 days utilizing a mobile application to assess behaviors, cognition, and affect and a sensor wristband that assesses physiology (heart rate, acceleration). We will also collect outcome data at 1- and 6-month follow-ups to assess ED outcomes and remission status. These data will allow for identification of “on average” and “individual” targets that maintain ED pathology and test if these targets predict outcomes, including ED remission.In this study, we investigated the longevity effects of hispidol, a 6,4′-dihydroxyaurone, using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system. Our lifespan assay data revealed that hispidol could prolong the lifespan of wild-type worms under normal culture condition. Moreover, hispidol increased the survival rate of the worms against a heat stress condition through up-regulated expressions of HSP-16.2. Similarly, hispidol protected worms from paraquat-induced oxidative stress. We also found that the hispidol elevated the activities of antioxidant enzymes, thereby attenuating the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. These results suggest that the enhancement of lifespan and stress resistance by the hispidol treatment might be attributed to its strong in vivo antioxidant capacity and regulation of stress proteins. Further tests on the aging-related factors revealed that hispidol could regulate the speed of pharyngeal pumping, indicating the association of dietary restriction with the hispidol-mediated longevity. However, there were no significant alterations in the body length of the worms between the groups. We then investigated the effects of hispidol on body movement and lipofuscin accumulation in aged worms. Interestingly, these healthspan parameters were strongly improved by the hispidol treatment. Our genetic studies showed no significant change in the lifespan of the daf-16 null mutants by hispidol supplementation. In addition, enhanced nuclear translocation of DAF-16 was observed in the hispidol-fed DAF-16GFP fused transgenic mutants, suggesting the requirement of DAF-16/FOXO activation for the longevity effect of hispidol.

    To identify and critically synthesise literature on return to work of patients following a myocardial infarction and to identify factors that are associated with this.

    Understanding when patients return to work after myocardial infarction and what factors are associated with this may be helpful in designing person-centred treatment plans to facilitate patients’ rehabilitation and return to work.

    A narrative systematic review.

    Six databases, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, EMBASE, SCOPUS and ProQuest Health and Medicine, and the search engine Google were searched to retrieve peer-reviewed articles published in English from January 2008-January 2020. In total, 22,217 papers were sourced and screened, with 18 papers retained for quality appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools.

    The mean time to return to work varied between 46-192days; about half the participants resumed work by 3months. Patients who were male, younger, educated, non-manual workers or owned their own business, and those who evaluated their general and mental health highly, and had shorter hospitalisation, fewer comorbidities, complications and mental health issues were more likely to return to work after myocardial infarction.

    Findings may help nurses detect patients at increased risk of failure to return to work and provide appropriate support to facilitate this.

    This study aimed to evaluate whether Korea’s 2012 health insurance expansion of adult dental care coverage reduced income-based oral health inequalities.

    This study analysed nationally representative repeated cross-sectional data from waves IV to VI (2007-2015) of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The main outcome variable is unmet dental needs due to cost, and the independent variable is household income. Further, the slope index of inequality (SII) and the relative index of inequality (RII) were calculated. Calculations were adjusted for income and stratified by age group, gender and survey period. SGX-523 cost Data from the three waves were pooled to estimate the SII and RII trend coefficients between survey years. These were tested using two-way interaction terms for each age group and gender.

    Some changes in income-based inequality trends were identified. Relative and absolute inequalities in unmet needs (indicated by the RII and SII) decreased over time for most age groups. However, this trend was not observed for older women.

    Income-based inequalities in unmet dental needs persisted among older women in Korea despite the insurance expansion. By contrast, after the 2012 insurance expansion, the absolute and relative inequality in unmet dental needs decreased for young and middle-aged as well as older adults.
