Factors Associated With Female Adolescent Usage of Modern Contraceptives in Northern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Survey of a Rural Municipality

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Among 408 sexually active adolescent girls in rural northern Ghana, modern contraceptive use was low (20.8%) despite high awareness (75.2%). Maternal education and information from health workers/teachers were associated with lower use, whereas clinic availability increased use. Interventions must move beyond awareness to address social norms and youth‐

Management of Iron Overload in Infants and Toddlers With Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Syndrome: A French–Italian Study

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1856-1865, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Syndrome (DBAS) is a rare congenital anemia often requiring chronic red blood cell transfusions from infancy. Without appropriate chelation, iron overload develops early and may be severe; however, no data are available on chelation in patients under 3 years of age.

Extended HPV typing as an efficient alternative within HPV‐based screening programs

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 3, Page 638-644, 1 August 2026.
What's New? Extended high‐risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) typing holds promise for improving cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3) detection, particularly as vaccinated cohorts may shift the prevalence of oncogenic HPV types. The authors of this study evaluated extended hrHPV genotyping within a public screening program involving women ...

Prognostic Factors for Postoperative Complications. An Aggregate Protocol for 10 Observational Studies From the Danish TRIPLE‐A Cohort of 1.2 Million Surgeries

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative complications substantially increase morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Understanding prognostic factors is essential for risk stratification, targeted prevention strategies, and development of prediction models.

Determining the Feasibility of a No‐Ultrasound Screening Tool for Early Medical Abortion in Australia

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In Australia, ultrasonography to confirm gestational age (GA) and pregnancy location is a routine component of early medical abortion (EMA) care. Internationally, protocols have been developed using a history‐based screening tool to identify women not requiring ultrasound.

Factors associated with the reproductive performance of ewes inseminated laparoscopically in England and Wales: A longitudinal study

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 1, Page e21-e29, 4/11 July 2026.
Abstract Background Laparoscopic intrauterine artificial insemination (Lap‐AI) is used in sheep genetic improvement programmes. However, the lambing rate (LR) (i.e., the proportion of inseminated ewes that lamb) following Lap‐AI is variable. Previously, one small UK study investigated factors associated with LR, but it did not adjust for dependencies ...

Paternal Circadian Disruption Impairs Offspring Cognition via Sperm microRNAs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Paternal circadian disruption remodels the sperm small RNA payload, elevating miR‐92a‐3p/miR‐25‐3p levels and perturbing early embryonic gene regulatory programs. Microinjection experiments and single‐embryo transcriptomics reveal sex‐specific developmental vulnerabilities, ultimately impairing offspring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and cognition ...

Evidence of APOE4‐related brain vulnerabilities in verbal memory systems in midlife women

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Women carrying the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele have a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from ages 65‐75 years compared to men, yet the effects of APOE4 on cognitive and neuroimaging outcomes among midlife women remain poorly understood.

Navigating Stress: Exploring the Role of Empathy in Caregiving

Developmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Stress can negatively impact caregiving behavior; while chronic stress is consistently associated with reduced caregiver sensitivity, evidence regarding acute stress remains mixed. This preregistered study examined the causal effects of acute psychosocial stress on caregiver sensitivity with an experimental pseudorandomized design.
