A case series study found prostate cancer occurs in transgender women, contrary to previous reports suggesting rarity. Rates were lower than anticipated based on prior male veteran prostate cancer incidence estimates.
The study found that the program increased access to mental health care for thousands of New Jersey residents, with practitioners serving patients in 13 languages and underserved racial or ethnic minority groups. Increasing access to mental health services is crucial during the pandemic, especially given a shortage of providers.
A diffractive optical network-based multispectral imager offers virtual spectral filter arrays, preserving spatial information and yielding an image cube without reconstruction algorithms. The system achieves ~79% average transmission efficiency across distinct bands.
The Zhurong rover found evidence of liquid water on dune surfaces at low Martian latitudes, contradicting the widely held assumption that water can only exist in solid or gaseous forms. The discovery provides key observational proof and sheds light on the evolutionary history of Mars' climate.
Researchers develop a technique to visualize carnitine distribution in muscle fiber cells, finding higher concentrations in slow-type fibers. The study reveals rapid transport of carnitine into muscle cells during contraction, shedding light on metabolic processes and potential therapeutic applications.
A first-of-its-kind study has estimated that transgender women taking estrogen are at a higher risk for prostate cancer, with 14 cases per 10,000 people. The study found disparities in diagnosis rates among different racial groups.
