Background:Sex and gender are important modifiers of mental health and behavior in normal times and during crises. We investigated whether they were addressed by empirical, international research that explored the mental health and health behavior ramifications after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:We systematically searched the databases PsyArXiv, PubMed, PsycInfo, Psyndex, PubPsych, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies assessing mental health outcomes (main outcomes) as well as potential risk and protective health behavior (additional outcomes) up to July 2, 2020.Findings:Most of the 80 publications fulfilling the selection criteria reflected the static difference p…

Gender-Specific Metabolomics Approach to Kidney Cancer
2021
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common form of kidney malignancy. RCC is more common among men with a 2/1 male/female incidence ratio worldwide. Given the underlying epidemiological differences in the RCC incidence between males and females, we explored the gender specific 1H NMR serum metabolic profiles of RCC patients and their matched controls. A number of differential metabolites were shared by male and female RCC patients. These RCC specific changes included lower lactate, threonine, histidine, and choline levels together with increased levels of pyruvate, N-acetylated glycoproteins, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and lysine. Additionally, serum lactate/pyruvate ratio was a…
Descriptive study on subjective experience of genetic testing with respect to relationship, family planning and psychosocial wellbeing among women wi…
2021
AbstractBackgroundDue to increased risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer, women belonging to known Lynch Syndrome (LS) families are recommended to undergo germline testing. Current practice in Finland is to offer counselling to women with pathogenic variant and advocate risk-reducing surgery (RRS) after completion of childbirth. The present study aimed to clarify the impacts of positive germline testing on family planning and reproductive decisions of these women, which are relatively unknown.MethodsSeventy-nine carriers of germline MMR gene pathogenic variant (path_MMR)were identified from the Finnish LS Registry as having genetic testing performed before the age of 45 years and not havin…
Contexto-A: Programa de intervención en violencia de género en jóvenes con medidas judiciales
2017
Resumen Tesis Doctoral: Contexto-A: Programa de intervención en violencia de género en jóvenes con medidas judiciales M. Victoria Lorenzo López INTRODUCCIÓN La violencia contra la pareja en las relaciones de jóvenes y adolescentes o dating violence, ha sido definida por varios autores como todo acto o ataque intencional de tipo físico, psicológico o sexual de un miembro de la pareja contra el otro, en una relación romántica en la que no existe vínculo legal ni cohabitación (Póo y Vizcarra, 2011; Rubio-Garay, López-González, Saúl y Sánchez-Elvira-Paniagua, 2012). Aunque comparte elementos comunes con la violencia ejercida en las relaciones adultas, requiere de intervención y tratamiento espe…

Infective Endocarditis: Preliminary Results of a Cohort Study in the Southern Italian Population.
2020
Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon disease with an involved interplay of clinical and surgical team management. We aimed to define diagnosis parameters and delineate in-hospital management in patients with IE admitted in a tertiary hospital of Southern Italian. Materials and methods Fifty-six consecutive patients (42 males, 14 females; age range: 34-85 years) admitted for IE in the Infectious Diseases, Cardiac Surgery, and Cardiology units, between January 2011 and August 2017, were enrolled. Demographic data, mortality, comorbidities, specimen type, microscopy results, special histological staining performed, and antimicrobial therapy were collected and analyzed. Any com…
Increasing girls' interest in technology education as a way to advance women in technology
2016
Technology-oriented fields are still largely male-dominated, and an effective approach for increasing the number of women in natural science and technology careers has not yet been achieved in EU countries. A related concern, particularly in Finland, is that even though gender equality and non-discrimination have long been critical concerns in education to date there has been very little of research in Finland about girls’ motivations towards technical craft or technology education, nor about their relation to women’s career aspirations in technology-oriented fields. The present study is my contribution to the concern of getting more women into technology by investigating how to increase gi…
Violenze “di genere” e violenze “sulle donne”: problemi di definizione e di rilevazione empirica
2020
Il capitolo punta a problematizzare gli aspetti definitori del concetto di “violenza di genere” e quelli legati più strettamente alla sua rilevazione/misurazione, cercando di fornire un contributo all’utilizzo delle statistiche sul tema in maniera avveduta e consapevole. The chapter aims to problematize the defining aspects of the concept of "gender violence" and those related more closely to its detection / measurement, trying to provide a contribution to the use of statistics on the subject in a prudent and conscious manner.
The division of domestic work among dual-career and other dual-earner couples in Finland
2015
This study compares the division of domestic work among dual-career and other dual-earner couples. We examine whether gender attitudes, relative resources and working time explain the differences between dual-career and other dual-earner couples. We define dual-career couples as those in which both spouses are professionals and/or managers. The division of housework is important for these couples because of the intense pressures of work. We hypothesise that domestic work is more equally shared among dual-career couples than among other dual-earner couples. The quantitative analyses are based on the Finnish data from the 2010 European Social Survey (N = 493). The qualitative data consist of …
