This study investigates how family support influences career success among Chinese university teachers, employing a moderated mediation model. Results from 348 faculty surveys show that family support boosts career success both directly and indirectly through time management and career adaptability individually, though not sequentially. Work-to-family conflict negatively moderates these relationships. Gender differences exist: family support directly affects women's career success, while for men, its effect is fully mediated by time management and career adaptability.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making remarkable strides in the field of oncology. The potential is humongous, but the perils are understated. From the perspective of gynecologic oncologists from India, we urge everyone to take a cautionary look at the rapid AI evolution in oncology.

This study investigates how women volunteers in urban China perform identity work within the gendered structures of community volunteering. While community volunteerism is widely perceived as feminized, informal, and devalued labor, women actively construct, negotiate, and sometimes challenge the meanings of volunteer roles. Drawing on three months of ethnographic fieldwork in two women-led community volunteer groups in Beijing, this research shows that women navigate gendered expectations by building civic networks, formalizing their practices, and leveraging political identities.

Objectives To describe the demographic and social identities of participants in contemporary Canadian randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Study Design and Setting A meta-epidemiologic study included published reports of phase 2 and 3 RCTs that exclusively recruited adults living in Canada and were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Study design and participant demographics were abstracted from eligible articles in duplicate using frameworks for understanding participant diversity such as PROGRESS-PLUS.

Background: Optimal nutrition for lactating mothers has remained at the top of the health policy agendas of many developing countries because of the consensus that it is an effective channel for achieving positive maternal and child health outcomes. Objectives: This study draws on the socio-ecological theory to explore barriers and enablers of healthy eating among lactating mothers in the Wa West District of Ghana.

Objectives In medicine, women constitute a large proportion of the workforce but remain underrepresented in senior positions. Scientific conferences, critical for career advancement, reflect these inequities, with prior studies documenting gender gaps in invited speakers. However, less attention has been given to audience engagement, such as asking questions or making comments, which also enhances professional visibility.

The biomechanical behavior and corrosion phenomena of porous metallic implants can compromise their clinical success. This work proposes modifying the surface of c.p. titanium scaffolds manufactured by 3D-printing (Direct Ink Writing), depositing a thin film of a β-Ti alloy (Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta) using the High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technique. The versatility of this technique has enabled the fabrication of conformal coatings with uniform thickness, excellent adhesion, a nanorough surface, and a homogeneous columnar distribution.

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major public health problem in the U.S., particularly given higher rates among disadvantaged communities. This study examined the impact of minimum wage policies on hypertensive and other obstetric disorders in a population-based setting. Methods: This analysis used U.S. national, state-level data from the 1992–2019 Global Burden of Disease study to estimate the associations between changes in state-level minimum wages and the incidence of maternal hypertensive and other obstetric disorders.
