The AFFIRM Framework for gender-affirming care: qualitative findings from the Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Equity Study by Meg Quint, Schuyler Bailar, Alexis Miranda, Shalender Bhasin, Devin O’Brien-Coon, Sari L. Reisner

“…Themes about gender-affirming care coalesced into the acronym AFFIRM: (1) Affirms in individual interactions: Participants called for affirmation of TGD identity, lived expertise, and competent TGD providers and staff. (2) Flexible and accessible: Participants expressed the need for gender-affirming care to be available beyond urban population-specific clinics, in a timely fashion without long wait lists, and in a community-centered manner such as offering non-traditional times and settings. (3) Fights systemic oppression: Participants emphasized the need for providers and health systems to eliminate gatekeeping practices for gender-affirming care and create care models that resist intersecting oppressive systems such as racism and cisgenderism. (4) Interacts with community: Patients desired intentional interaction with TGD community to holistically address health and unmet gender affirmation needs. (5) Retains patients in care: Patients shared the need to collaboratively identify and problem-solve obstacles to gender-affirming care with providers and healthcare systems to optimize TGD-specific retention strategies. (6) Multidisciplinary: Patients called for interdisciplinary teams with co-located services such as primary care and mental healthcare with letter-writing for surgical care, and incorporation of peer navigators to meet the broader social, health, and well-being needs of TGD people. …”

Presynaptic CRF1 Receptors Mediate the Ethanol Enhancement of GABAergic Transmission in the Mouse Central Amygdala by Zhiguo Nie, Eric P. Zorrilla, Samuel G. Madamba, Kenner C. Rice, Marissa Roberto, George Robert Siggins

“…In whole-cell patch recordings of pharmacologically isolated GABAAergic IPSCs from slices of mouse CeA, both CRF and ethanol augmented evoked IPSCs in a concentration-dependent manner, with low EC50s. A CRF1 (but not CRF2) KO construct and the CRF1-selective nonpeptide antagonist NIH-3 (LWH-63) blocked the augmenting effect of both CRF and ethanol on evoked IPSCs. …”

Electroporation assisted delivery of Roussin salt porphyrin-based conjugated carbon nanoparticles for sono–X-ray–photodynamic prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo treatment by Samir Ali Abd El-Kaream, Abed Elrahman Ahmad Mohamad, Sohier Mahmoud El-Kholey, Samia Abd El-Moniem Ebied

“…Furthermore, EP@RRBP-CNP is a promising SXPS that, when used in conjunction with SXPDT, can be very effective in in vitro treating PCa-DU-145 (in a dose-dependent manner cell viability declined, an increase in the cells population during the G0/G1-phase indicates that the cell cycle was arrested, and an increase in cell population in the Pre-G, autophagic cell death, as well as necrosis and early and late apoptosis, indicate that cell death was induced) and MNU/testosterone-PCa-induced mice in vivo (induced antiproliferative genes, p53, Bax, TNFalpha, caspase 3,9, repressed antiangiogenic and antiapoptotic genes, VEGF and Bcl2, respectively), successfully slowing the growth of tumors and even killing cancer cells, as well as lowering oxidative stress (MDA), improving the functions of the kidneys (urea, creatinine), liver (ALT, AST), and antioxidants (GPx, GPx, GST, CAT, GSH, TAC). …”

Das Hörbar-Machen von zyklischen Potentialen in der musikalischen Interpretation. Eduard Steuermanns Live-Mitschnitt der ›Diabelli-Variationen‹ vom 13. Mai 1963 by Martin Zenck

“…On the one hand, regarding the question of the cyclical and the anti-cyclical, the discussion explores the conflicting relationship between totality and fragment in the manner of Hegel and Novalis. On the other hand, it applies the concept of “voice writing” (Stimmschrift) in Novalis, according to which every notation by Beethoven, such as the sketches and the completed score of the “Diabelli Variations” Op. 120, are always writing and at the same time betraying the author’s voice, which means that scripturality and orality go hand in hand. …”
