Caregivers’ Experiences of Discussing Body Safety and Child Sexual Violence Prevention Messages with Their Children Living with HIV
Authors: Shumba Kemist , Heath Nokuthula Cathrena , Heath Dewald , Mutambo Chipo
Published: July 2023

Zoë-life, a South African organisation that focuses on bringing wholeness to children, youths and families, designed and distributed a pamphlet titled “Teaching Children Body Safety”. This pamphlet helps parents and primary caregivers to teach their children about body safety and the prevention of sexual violence. In the current study, we sought to explore parents and primary caregivers’ experiences of discussing body safety and sexual violence prevention messages with their children living with HIV in South Africa. In the study, which was conducted in Durban among a Black African population in a township setting, we adopted a qualitative approach. The data were collected using the focus group method. Two focus groups were conducted with 24 purposively selected female parents and primary caregivers who had received the pamphlet during the COVID-19 lockdown period. The data were then analysed using Ritchie and Spencer’s analysis framework. All the standard ethical protocols were observed, including anonymity, confidentiality, informed consent, and voluntary participation. The findings highlighted the challenges encountered by parents and primary caregivers when teaching children about body safety and the prevention of sexual violence. The challenges include limited opportunities to promote privacy and prompts regarding talking to children, such as the cultural norms preventing adults from talking to children about genitalia using their actual names; little knowledge about the appropriate words, language and approaches to use when engaging children in discussions on body safety; and the fear of traumatising children. We recommend using the “Teaching Children Body Safety” pamphlet as a low-cost intervention to mitigate child sexual violence.

Need analysis is a pivotal process prior to starting any courses in order to get initial classroom mapping about students’ needs and expectations. This current study aims to describe the result of need analysis conducted prior to the course of Bahasa Inggris for nursing students. The method employed is descriptive quantitative using data that were collected through questionnaires distributed to the students who are taking Bahasa Inggris course in the odd semester 2022/2023. The results show several points, such as the students belonged to the beginner to intermediate level of English users who merely used English in the classroom contexts. The most challenging language skill is speaking, yet they have had learning awareness to acquire all the language skills in the targeted language. The students also propose some criteria of good teaching materials, learning activities, as well as assessment forms. Finally, the result of this current study can be one of the considerations or the basis for future learning designers, course facilitators, and institutions to design the course which meets the students’ needs.

Involuntary Lung Nodules Recognition in Computed Tomography Images using 3D features Mining and Neural System
Authors: - Arushi Bansal , - Vinod Kumar Srivastava
Published: July 2023

The best precise imaging method for determining the presence and stage of lung cancer is considered to be computed tomography (CT). On a chest X-ray, nodules are a legitimately frequent abnormality: one out of every 500 chest X-rays reveals newly diagnosed nodules. From helical CT scans, we suggested a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) method to detect small-size lung knots, which range in size from 1 mm to 6 mm. An insignificant, curving (parenchymal knot) or caterpillar-shaped (juxta pleural nodule) wound in the lungs is known as a pulmonic knot. Because they each have a higher radio-density than the lung parenchyma, they appear snowy in images. Lung knots may indicate a lung cancer, and identifying them early on improves patient survival rates. The best precise imaging technique for finding knots is thought to be CT. However, because there is so much data in each study, analysis becomes difficult. This suggests that a human radiologist could have missed a knot. The proposed CAD method aims to reduce omissions and shorten the time needed for radiologist review of the picture. Our method classifies nodule items from non-nodule objects using a three-layer Feed Forward Neural Network with directed knowledge based on back-propagation technique and CLAHE, an alternative to Histogram Equalization that reduces the noise amplification. The technique was tested on Windows after being built in Matlab. Simple graphic user interface is supplied for convenient control.

Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is a common problem in daily clinical practice. However, completely understanding the pathophysiological changes in OJ remains a challenge for planning current and future management. The effects of OJ are widespread, affecting the biliary tree, hepatic cells, liver function, and causing systemic complications. The lack of bile in the intestine, destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increased absorption of endotoxins can lead to endotoxemia, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and induce systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ultimately leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Proper management of OJ includes adequate water supply and electrolyte replacement, nutritional support, preventive antibiotics, pain relief, and itching relief. The surgical treatment of OJ depends on the cause, location, and severity of the obstruction. Biliary drainage, surgery, and endoscopic intervention are potential treatment options depending on the patient's condition. In addition to modern medical treatments, Traditional Chinese medicine may offer therapeutic benefits for OJ. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed for relevant articles published up to August 1970. This review discusses in detail the pathophysiological changes associated with OJ and presents effective strategies for managing the condition.

Günümüzde dünya nüfusunun yarısından fazlası şehirlerde yaşamakta ve şehirleşen nüfus günden güne artış göstermektedir. Kentleşme olgusunun kazandığı ivme nedeniyle yerel yönetimlerin faaliyet alanını oluşturan ulaşım, eğitim, sağlık, güvenlik ve altyapı gibi birçok kamusal mal ve hizmetin sunumunda sosyal ve mali problemlerle karşı karşıya kalınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yerel yönetimler açısından, diğer rekabetçi ve yenilikçi kentsel politikaları kapsayıcı rolü ile ön plana çıkan akıllı şehir uygulama ve projeleriyle, kamusal hizmet sunumlarında karşılaşılan problemlerin etkin, ekonomik, verimli ve şeffaf bir şekilde çözülebileceği öne sürülmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Türkiye’nin yerel yönetimlere ilişkin güncel istatistiksel verilerinden faydalanılarak, mali yerelleşme ve mali yapı kompozisyonu tartışılmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, akıllı şehir uygulamalarının yerel bağlamda finanse edilmesi ve altyapı ve üstyapı projelerinin sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması için büyük önem arz eden ve mali yerelleşmenin önemli unsurlarını oluşturan yerel yönetimlerin harcama ve gelir kapasitesinin azaldığı sonucuna varılmaktadır. Türkiye'de harcama, gelir ve borçlanma açısından daha az yerelleşen ve daha çok merkezileşen dinamik yapı ve bunun yansımalarından biri olarak yerel yönetimlerin öz gelirlerindeki düşüş, akıllı şehir uygulamalarının mali sürdürülebilirliği açısından bir darboğaz riski yaratmaktadır. Bu durum; yerel yönetimlerin sınırlı olan öz gelir, harcama ve borçlanma sınırları içerisinde akıllı şehir proje risklerinin azaltılması ve bütçe dengesinin korunması için birtakım mali ve kurumsal stratejilerin benimsemesini gerekli hale getirmektedir.

Managerial Analysis of The Crew Labor Inspection System
Authors: Wang Yubao
Published: July 2023

The labor inspection system of competent authorities will directly affect the protection of labor rights and interests of crew members in shipping enterprises, and the essential feature of the combination of behavioral strategies of two parties is the game and interaction between the parties to maximize their own interests, however, few studies have focused on how to coordinate the strategic choices of competent authorities and shipping enterprises to achieve the most adequate protection of labor rights and interests of crew members in practice. Therefore, it is reasonable and necessary to analyze the interaction between the labor inspection strategy of competent authorities and the crew management behavior of shipping enterprises from the game perspective. To this end, we construct an evolutionary game model between the competent authority and the crew management of shipping enterprises by considering the influence of the labor inspection of the competent authority on the crew management behavior of shipping enterprises, and simulate the main factors affecting the evolutionary stabilization strategy. The results show that the key points to reduce the probability of enterprises violating labor rights and interests of crew members are: reducing the cost of investigation by competent authorities, increasing the probability of successful investigation by competent authorities, increasing the fines of shipping enterprises and improving the positive effect of monitoring by competent authorities. As a result, in order to effectively protect the labor rights and interests of crew members, the state should further improve the relevant legal system and increase the amount of compensation for shipping enterprises. The competent authorities should increase the management personnel and working expenses appropriately to reduce the cost of investigation and ensure the quality of handling cases.

Мета розвідки полягає в комплексному дослідженні основних напрямів та етапів осушення заболочених ґрунтів у заплаві річки Трубіж у межах Переяславського повіту Полтавської губернії в 1885–1915 рр., а також у доведенні значного впливу осушувальної меліорації на розвиток сільського господарства, торфорозробок, стану довкілля в регіоні. Викладений матеріал розкриває осушувальну меліорацію як один із важливих напрямів діяльності повітового земства. Аналізуються загальні риси та регіональні особливості осушувальної меліорації в Переяславському повіті, взаємозв’язок із втіленням меліоративних проєктів у Чернігівській і Полтавській губерніях, наслідки на сільське господарство, торфорозробку, стан довкілля. Методи дослідження. Використання методів джерелознавчого аналізу сприяло систематизації первинної інформації (постанов і звітів Переяславських повітових земських зборів), а використання історико-системного методу дозволило всебічно дослідити осушувальну меліорацію на річці Трубіж у межах Переяславського повіту та узагальнити отримані відомості. Наукова новизна роботи полягає у проведенні комплексного дослідження заявленої проблематики, систематизації та узагальненні отриманих відомостей, введенні до наукового обігу нових наукових джерел, які не використовувалися раніше. Висновки. Осушувальна меліорація на річці Трубіж наприкінці ХІХ – на поч. ХХ ст. мала на меті вирішення важливої для Переяславського повіту проблеми надмірної заболоченості ґрунтів і збільшення корисних земельних угідь та була продовженням меліоративного проєкту, розпочатого на верхній ділянці водойми в Чернігівській губернії.

Published: July 2023

The floating elbow represents an uncommon combination of lesions in traumatology. Few studies have described this lesion especially in adults. Over a period of 5 months, two floating elbows were reviewed retrospectively. Reduction and internal fixation using different implants were performed for our patients. Consolidation was obtained at the humerus at 4 months (3.5-4.5 months) on average, and 5 months (4-6 months) at forearm bones. According to the classification of Lange and Foster, our functional results were good in 100 %. Good functional prognosis of the upper limb requires rapid and adequate management of floating elbows. Internal fixation followed by early rehabilitation is recommended. The choice of surgical acts depends on the location of fractures. Our strategy gave satisfactory results.
Statistical analysis of the mean relative variability of monthly, seasonal and annual precipitation at the main synoptic stations in the South Morava sub-basin to the Korvingrad hydrological station
Authors: Miletić Milan , Vuletić Jovana
Published: July 2023

The aim of this work is to determine the variability of precipitation in the area of the sub-basin of the South Curve up to the hydrological station Korvingrad. Data from the synoptic stations Leskovac, Vranje and Kuršumlija for a period of 30 years (1991-2020) were used. The mean relative variability of monthly, seasonal and annual precipitation and their ten-year values were used to compare the results of all synoptic stations in the sub-basin. The results showed that the highest mean variability of precipitation in the studied period was recorded at the Vranje synoptic station (22.4%) and the lowest value at the station in Leskovac (18.4%). The comparison of ten-year values showed that the lowest values of mean relative variability of annual precipitation in the period 2001-2010 were recorded at all synoptic stations. The study showed that the extreme values of mean relative variability of precipitation occurred earlier or later during the second and third ten-year periods compared to the first ten-year period. The study showed that the values of mean relative variability of monthly precipitation were lowest in months with high precipitation.
Gender Issues for Social Reformation in Contemporary African Women's Fiction
Authors: DAVIES Rebecca Ufuoma
Published: July 2023

Contemporary African women's fiction has been a significant site of exploration for issues of gender and its intersections with other identity markers such as race, class, and sexuality. This paper provides an overview of the gender issues present in contemporary African women's fiction and analyzes how these authors are engaging with feminist thoughts and theories in their works. The paper begins by exploring the patriarchal nature of African societies and how this has been challenged by African women writers through their portrayal of female characters who resist societal norms and expectations. The paper then analyzes the various forms of oppression that African women face, including sexual violence, female genital mutilation, and forced marriages. Additionally, the paper considers the role of African women in politics and how they are represented in literature. The paper argues that contemporary African women writers are challenging Western feminist thoughts and developing forms of feminist theory that are more inclusive and relevant to African contexts. The study concludes that African women's fiction is an important site of feminist discourse and offers valuable insights into the gender issues that affect African women today.

Isso dói – dor e sofrimento em Freud e Groddeck
Authors: Ávila Lazslo Antonio
Published: July 2023

A dor física não tem recebido tanta investigação psicanalítica quanto a dor psíquica. Neste artigo, retomamos as concepções seminais de Sigmund Freud e Georg Groddeck, utilizando a descrição original desses autores, tal como formulada em seus próprios textos. Rastreamos, em Freud, as hipóteses da intenção de adoecer, dos benefícios secundários das doenças, da complacência somática, do escudo de para-excitações e da dor como pseudo-pulsão. De Groddeck, recuperamos as formulações do Isso como matriz da indiferenciação dos processos somáticos e psíquicos, e sua abordagem aos sintomas corporais, tomados como forma de linguagem simbólica.

Authors: Budkowski Szczepan
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this publication is to analyze air pollution on the example of the city of Krakow, as well as to consider the possibility of using geodata for environmental protection. In addition to case study analysis as the leading research method, the article also uses the observation, analysis, and statistical methods. The article presents the concept of using GIS spatial analyzes and spatial planning as an element of the Green New Deal in the process of ventilating the city of Krakow.When developing a project related to city ventilation, it is extremely important to have the most accurate data on the strength, direction of the wind, type of pollution, and the number of emitters. Spatial analyzes are also able to indicate the main ventilation corridors of the city. These include, above all, areas located on the Vistula River, but also the widest city streets. Such results make it possible to more consciously manage space.

This study was conducted to evaluating the impact of varieties and foliar application of micronutrient on growth parameters of cluster bean under teak based agroforestry system as well as open condition. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with Factorial concept consisting of 3 factors viz., varieties, foliar spray of micronutrient iron and foliar spray of micronutrient zinc at 2 levels each in 4 replications. Among two tested varieties, variety Pusa Navbahar performed well in terms of growth as compare to local variety in both growing conditions.  Furthermore, foliar spray of 0.5% FeSO4 and foliar spray of 0.5% ZnSO4 also recorded maximum growth parameters as compare to their control condition under both growing conditions. All interaction effect were found non-significant for most of growth parameters except plant height under both growing conditions (teak-based agroforestry system and open condition). Further, t-test analysis shows that growth parameters were higher for open condition.
Recombinant protein purification and immobilization strategies based on peptides with dual affinity to iron oxide and silica
Authors: Aguiar Tatiana Q. , Domingues Lucília
Published: July 2023

Iron oxide and silica‐based materials have emerged as attractive protein purification and immobilization matrices. His6 has been reported as an effective affinity tag for both iron oxide and silica. Here, the silica‐binding tags CotB1p and Car9 were shown to work as effectively as iron oxide‐binding tags. Using EGFP as a model protein, commercially available bare iron oxide (BIONs) or silicon dioxide (BSiNs) nanoparticles as low‐cost purification/immobilization matrices, and non‐hazardous and mild binding and elution conditions, adsorption and desorption studies were performed with lysates from Escherichia coli‐producing cells to compare the performance of these dual‐affinity tags. Under the conditions tested, the His6 tag stood out as the best‐performing tag, followed by CotB1p. Our findings concluded the promising combination of these tags, BIONs and BSiNs for one‐step purification of recombinant proteins, and two‐step purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins without intermediate buffer exchange. This proof of concept work set the ground for future evaluation of these purification and immobilization strategies using other proteins with different properties, which will be of interest to expand their utility and applicability.
Glutaredoxin‐1 promotes lymphangioleiomyomatosis progression through inhibiting Bim‐mediated apoptosis via COX2/PGE2/ERK pathway

Published: July 2023

Background

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a female‐predominant interstitial lung disease, characterized by progressive cyst formation and respiratory failure. Clinical treatment with the mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin could relieve partially the respiratory symptoms, but not curative. It is urgent to illustrate the fundamental mechanisms of TSC2 deficiency to the development of LAM, especially mTORC1‐independent mechanisms. Glutaredoxin‐1 (Glrx), an essential glutathione (GSH)‐dependent thiol‐oxidoreductase, maintains redox homeostasis and participates in various processes via controlling protein GSH adducts. Redox signalling through protein GSH adducts in LAM remains largely elusive. Here, we demonstrate the underlying mechanism of Glrx in the pathogenesis of LAM.

Methods

1. Abnormal Glrx expression in various kinds of human malignancies was identified by the GEPIA tumour database, and the expression of Glrx in LAM‐derived cells was detected by real‐time quantitative reverse transcription (RT‐qPCR) and immunoblot. 2. Stable Glrx knockdown cell line was established to evaluate cellular impact. 3. Cell viability was determined by CCK8 assay. 4. Apoptotic cell number and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were quantified by flow cytometry. 5. Cox2 expression and PGE2 production were detected to clarify the mechanism of Bim expression modulated by Glrx. 6. S‐glutathionylated p65 was enriched and detected by immunoprecipitation and the direct regulation of Glrx on p65 was determined. 7. The xenograft animal model was established and photon flux was analyzed using IVIS Spectrum.

Results

In LAM, TSC2 negatively regulated abnormal Glrx expression and activation in a mTORC1‐independent manner. Knockdown of Glrx increased the expression of Bim and the accumulation of ROS, together with elevated S‐glutathionylated proteins, contributing to the induction of apoptotic cell death and inhibited cell proliferation. Knockdown of Glrx in TSC2‐deficient LAM cells increased GSH adducts on nuclear factor‐kappa B p65, which contributed to a decrease in the expression of Cox2 and the biosynthesis of PGE2. Inhibition of PGE2 metabolism attenuated phosphorylation of ERK, which led to the accumulation of Bim, due to the imbalance of its phosphorylation and proteasome degradation. In xenograft tumour models, knockdown of Glrx in TSC2‐deficient LAM cells inhibited tumour growth and increased tumour cell apoptosis.

Conclusions

Collectively, we provide a novel redox‐dependent mechanism in the pathogenesis of LAM and propose that Glrx may be a beneficial strategy for the treatment of LAM or other TSC‐related diseases.

While insect populations are simultaneously threatened by many local‐ and global‐scale stressors, the interacting effects of these factors remain poorly understood. These interactions between stressors, whether additive or antagonistic, may have profound effects on our assumptions about and predictions for any given system. Here we address this gap by exploring the interactive effects of introduced predators and elevated temperatures on emerging aquatic insects across alpine lakes. Using a crossed factorial field survey, we examine whether warmer temperatures either directly affect the magnitude or diversity of insect emergence, or mediate the impacts of predation via interactions with predator presence. Based on data from more than 11,000 insects collected across a two‐year period, we find a 71% reduction in insect emergence associated with an additional 3.6°C of water temperature in oligotrophic alpine lakes. While our work confirms prior findings that predator presence drives strong reductions in insect emergence, we find that the effects of predation are significantly weaker in warmer lakes (2% reduction in warmest lakes studied vs. 75% reduction in coldest). Combining our results with regional studies of predator communities to identify mechanisms suggests that the interaction effects between temperature and predator presence are likely due to changes in predator behavior across temperatures. Critically, to fully understand the multiple stressors that impact insect populations and predict their future effects, we must consider the interactions between stressors across spatial scales.

Environmental relationships can differ across the geographic range of species, especially for widespread generalists. Because habitat specialists are more vulnerable to environmental changes, incorrect assumptions about consistent habitat associations could hinder strategic conservation efforts. We used species distribution models (SDMs) to evaluate intraspecific variation in habitat associations for a habitat specialist of conservation concern, the pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis), which is endemic to the sagebrush biome of the western United States. Our goal was to model habitat associations for pygmy rabbits across a portion of their range to evaluate regional variation and contrast predictions with results from a model developed at the rangewide extent. We created inductive SDMs using maximum entropy methods within five ecological regions that encompassed about 20% of the species rangewide distribution and spanned diverse environmental gradients. We included a suite of environmental predictor variables representing topography, vegetation, climate, and soil characteristics. Results of the regional models identified substantial variation in habitat associations across the five regions, with each retaining a unique set of environmental predictors. Bioclimatic variables were the most influential environmental parameters in all five regions, but the specific variables differed. The models developed at regional extents predicted smaller areas of habitat (an average of 15% less for suitable habitat and 80% less for primary habitat) than predictions generated from a model developed at the rangewide extent. Because bioclimatic variables were effective in discriminating areas used by pygmy rabbits, they also provided an opportunity to assess potential changes in habitat distribution by incorporating future climate projections. Distributions modeled under two mid‐century emission scenarios projected substantial reductions in suitable habitat for pygmy rabbits across most regions and pronounced variation among regions in the magnitude and direction of the climate effects. Collectively, results of this work underscore the need to incorporate regional variation in habitat associations into planning for current and future conservation and management strategies.

Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease across the life course. This study modeled the population health and economic impact of a 20% sugar sweetened beverages tax (SSB) for preventing dental caries compared to no intervention (societal and healthcare perspective). A cost‐effectiveness analysis according to quintiles of area‐level socioeconomic disadvantage was performed for the 2020 Australian population (0–100 years old) using a closed cohort Markov model. A qualitative assessment of implementation considerations (e.g., acceptability, equity, sustainability) was undertaken. Health outcomes were modeled as decayed teeth prevented and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) averted. The 10‐year and lifetime scenarios were modeled with probabilistic sensitivity analysis (Monte Carlo simulation, 2000 cycles). The 10‐year scenario from a societal perspective yielded cost‐savings of AUD$63.5M, healthcare cost‐savings of AUD$42.2M, 510,977 decayed teeth averted and 98.1 DALYs averted. The lifetime scenario resulted in societal cost savings of AUD$176.6M, healthcare cost‐savings of AUD$122.5M, 1,309,211 decayed teeth averted and 254.9 DALYs averted. Modeling indicated 71.5% and 74.5% cost‐effectiveness for the 10‐year and lifetime scenarios, respectively. A three‐fold health benefit for the least advantaged was found compared to the most advantaged. A 20% SSB tax in Australia is cost‐effective and promotes health equity.
Comparative health policy goes qualitative: Broadening the focus of research after COVID‐19
Authors: Burau Viola , Kuhlmann Ellen , Lotta Gabriela
Published: July 2023

The COVID‐19 pandemic has pushed health policy frontstage and exposed the stark differences in government capacities to respond to the crisis. This has created new demands for comparative heath policy to support knowledge creation on a large scale. However, comparative health policy has not necessarily been well prepared; studies have focused on health systems and used typologies together with descriptive, quantitative methods. This makes it difficult to capture the multi‐level nature of health policy, the diverse actors involved and the many societal facets of governance performance. We argue for broadening the perspective to include health policy as a bottom‐up process with diverse interests. This calls for expanding the methodology of comparative health policy by also using approaches that make greater use of explorative, qualitative research. We introduce possible developmental pathways to illustrate what this may look like. The Pan‐European Commission shows how to broaden the definition of comparative health policy, notably as transnational and planetary. The gender analysis matrix illustrates how comparative health policy can strengthen its assessment of performance by focussing on gender equity. The street‐level bureaucrat framework highlights how analysing frontline work can help conduct small‐scale bottom‐up comparisons of health policy. Together, these developmental pathways demonstrate the potential to broaden comparative health policy towards greater responsiveness to the societal performance of governments, such as social inequalities created by the COVID‐19 pandemic. This also opens opportunities for strengthening the global outlook of comparative health policy.

Objective

Type 1 endometrial cancer (EC) survivors who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of comorbidities and reduced quality of life. Lifestyle modification interventions (e.g., healthy eating, exercise) may help these women reduce excess weight and improve their quality of life. However, existing interventions have shown limited success. Guided by Self‐Determination Theory, the proposed study sought to identify factors associated with perceived importance of weight loss and exercise as well as interest in lifestyle modification interventions (components of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation) among EC survivors with overweight or obesity to inform future intervention development.

Methods

One hundred type 1 EC survivors [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2] completed a cross‐sectional survey assessing sociodemographics, medical factors, exercise, risk perceptions and provider communication, quality of life, barriers to dieting and exercise, perceived importance of healthy lifestyles, and desired intervention content.

Results

EC survivors who were aware obesity is a risk factor for EC were significantly more likely to perceive weight loss as important and were interested in weight loss programs and receiving information about exercise (ps < 0.05). Additionally, EC survivors who reported their provider discussed the importance of a healthy weight after their diagnosis were significantly more likely to perceive exercise as important and were interested in receiving dieting information.

Conclusions

EC survivors expressed interest in lifestyle modification interventions. Increasing awareness about the risk of obesity and provider discussions about healthy weight during routine appointments may motivate EC survivors to engage in lifestyle modification interventions.
