Abstract

To motivate the role for preference assessment in women's health and to report pilot data addressing the performance of automated time-trade-off (TTO) valuations of current health, which were developed to estimate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in the women's health setting. Values for current health relative to perfect health and death were assessed using an annual time trade-off (1-year horizon and sleep as the trading metaphor), a lifetime time trade-off, and a visual analog scale (VAS). All instruments were administered twice within a 12- to 14-day window among a convenience sample of 27 women. Valuation of health was similar for both time trade-offs (mean of 0.95 for both), but was significantly lower for the VAS (mean of 0.84, Wilcoxon signed-rank p-value < 0.001). Reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.67 +/- 0.09 and 0.75 +/- 0.07 for the annual and lifetime time trade-offs, respectively, and 0.89 +/- 0.03 for the VAS. Construct validity was supported by consistent trends in time-trade-off utilities across tertiles of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) general health subscale (trend test p-value < 0.001). Automated time trade-offs for current health provide a promising approach for use in women's hea...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
