for cg06834912, and 0.7611 (sensitivity 63.3%, specificity 83.3%) for cg00103771. The diagnostic accuracy of the combination of these 3 indicators presented to be higher than any single one of them, with an AUC of 0.8378 (sensitivity 73.3%, specificity 93.3%).

The combination of 3 CpG methylation signatures in blood was identified with a good diagnostic accuracy for PCOS, which may bring new insight into the development of PCOS diagnostic markers in the future.

Although this form of family-making might be appealing to Chinese lesbians who cannot legally marry their partners, lesbian mothers are subject to substantial risks and challenges arising from the lack of recognition by Chinese authorities and other family members. This study focuses on an anonymous lesbian's confession about her motherhood. It conducts a case analysis to investigate the incompatibility between transnational reproductive services and national household regulations and Marriage Law. This study analyses the persistence of patriarchy in a lesbian family, which suppresses women's agency both corporeally and in family roles. Through this analysis, this paper intends to explore lesbian mothers' vulnerabilities as they face a continuum of patriarchal exploitation in the absence of legal and social recognition. It also questions the radical challenge that lesbian motherhood is often assumed to make to male dominance and gendered norms.Endocrine variations, including possibly reduced exposure to androgens, may contribute to the development of male homosexuality, with animal models demonstrating same-sex mate preference with altered exposure during prenatal or early postnatal development. As similar studies in humans are impossible, indirect physical and cognitive measures of androgen exposure are used. Some studies suggest that physical measures affected by prenatal androgens, including the index-to-ring finger ratio, growth indices, and facial structure, are more "feminine" in gay men. Gay men also exhibit significant childhood gender non-conformity and a "feminized" anatomical and functional brain pattern in sexual arousal, as well as domains such as language, visuospatial skills and hemispheric relationships. However, many of these results are equivocal and may be confounded by other factors. Research has also been hampered by inconsistencies in the reporting of sexual orientation and the potentially unrepresentative populations of gay men studied, while additional complexities pertaining to gender conformity and sexual role may also influence results.Objectives The Person-centered Care (PCC) philosophy emphasizes close care relationships to enable care professionals to recognize the needs of nursing home residents with dementia. This study explored how care professionals make sense of resident behavior with regard to intimacy and sexuality.Methods 26 nursing home care professionals (15 Nurses, 9 Health Care Professionals and 2 Managers) completed in-depth interviews that were subjected to an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).Results Three thematic layers were identified. 1. Care Professionals pursue a "true" understanding of intimate and sexual behavior that underpins a resident's expression. 2. When care professionals feel the need to protect themselves, they can reframe a specific care relation in order to continue care. 3. The social context around the resident, from family to professionals (i.e. TBK1 inhibitor peers), influences interpretation of behavior and, consequently, the provision of care.Conclusions Intimate and sexual expressions of residents can put care relations under pressure. Care relations that lack professional distance may compromise care professionals' judgments, impede their natural boundaries and decrease their well-being.Clinical implications Along with implementing PCC principles, organizations should empower staff to develop, discuss and include self-reflection skills and personal boundaries within their work.Objectives This project investigated experiences of caregivers of people living with dementia during COVID-19. We recorded caregivers' perceptions of care before, during, and moving forward from COVID-19, emphasizing positive experiences, coping strategies, creative care adaptation, strengths demonstrated, and benefits of providing care.Methods Allied health professionals conducted semi-structured interviews with 26 informal caregivers of people living with dementia. We categorized and thematically analyzed responses as before, during or moving forward from COVID-19.Results A range of themes were derived from the data. Pre-pandemic care (1) focusing on the person living with dementia and (2) working together. During-pandemic care (1) respecting personhood; (2) connecting with virtues and values; (3) improving relationships; (4) seeking and receiving support; (5) prioritizing self-care; (6) being protective and proactive; (7) making practical changes. Moving forward from COVID-19 (1) strengthening commitment to the person living with dementia, (2) looking after my own needs, and (3) considering practical requirements.Conclusions Participants reported positive caregiving experiences in all timeframes, focusing more on their own needs and experiences during and moving forward from COVID-19. This research may highlight informal caregivers' challenges and needs.Clinical implications Enforced isolation produced deeper connections for some caregivers. Caregivers benefit from resources facilitating adaptive care.The school playground can promote PA for large numbers of children. This study identifies areas of the playground that children visited at break-times, the decisions according to gender and the influence of contextual and environmental variables on PA levels. The playground of a culturally diverse primary school was observed during morning break-times and lunchtimes. Counts of sedentary, LPA, and MVPA episodes, and the contexts in which they occurred were recorded using the system for observing play and leisure in youth (SOPLAY). Ball sports areas had higher counts of boys (mean ± SD; 9.9 ± 4.8) compared to girls (2.0 ± 3.5); areas promoting climbing and social interaction had higher counts of girls (7.9 ± 7.2) compared to boys (3.5 ± 2.9). The proportion of MVPA episodes during break-times was 34% ± 26%. Areas of the playground with organised activities had 2.70 (95%CI 1.87 to 3.91) times higher MVPA counts than areas "not organised". Areas with "supervision" were associated with higher MVPA counts (1.34; 1.
