One additional theme was expressed by most women (n = 11) 6) preparing for the future. CONCLUSION Fear of cancer recurrence was a concern for most ovarian cancer survivors who used a variety of ways to cope. Results can be used to guide nurses’ discussions with post-treatment ovarian cancer survivors or be used to inform refinement and development of resources to assist ovarian cancer survivors living in small urban and rural settings to cope with FCR. PURPOSE Sleep quality was considered a priority concern facing pregnant women. Conventional wisdom argues that good sleep quality benefits pregnant women and their fetuses. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a specific exercise program on the　sleep quality in pregnant women. METHODS Searches were executed in seven databases since their inceptions until February 28, 2019, for randomized controlled trials evaluating the effects of an exercise program on the sleep quality and insomnia in pregnant women. A random-effects model was applied for meta-analysis, and odds ratio, mean differences (MDs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are shown as parts of outcomes. RESULTS Seven studies were included for meta-analysis. Compared with their not-exercising counterparts, analyses showed that regularly exercising women had significantly enhanced sleep quality, with an odds ratio of 6.21 (95% CI, 2.02-19.11;p = .001; I2 = 80.2%), with a standardized MD of -0.93 (95% CI, -1.19 to -0.67; p less then .001; I2 = 30.0%). However, exercising women showed no significant insomnia improvement, with an standardized MD of -2.85 (95% CI, -7.67 to 1.98; p = .250; I2 = 97.0%), relative to their not-exercising counterparts. CONCLUSION This research indicated that exercise has a positive impact on the sleep quality of pregnant women. Despite the aforementioned positive impact on sleep quality, the present study did not find evidence to support that exercise may also improve insomnia for pregnant women. V.Surgical indications for trapeziometacarpal (TMC) total joint replacement for thumb basal joint osteoarthritis (OA) are increasing. However, complications following this procedure are not insignificant. To avoid complications, preoperative planning with measurement of trapezium height is indicated to ensure a cup is not implanted in the trapezium if its height is less than 8 millimeters. The objective of our study was to analyze a series of preoperative radiographs of patients managed by trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty in our department, and to assess the possibility of a surgical alternative-total joint replacement-based on the trapezium’s height. We also wanted to determine whether radiological height was influenced by the radiological progression of the thumb OA. A single-center retrospective study based on available medical records was conducted. The patients included had TMC OA refractory to conservative treatment and were managed surgically by trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty between 2012 and 2018. Sixty-seven patients were eligible. Based on the Eaton-Littler classification of radiological TMC OA, our case series had 0% (n=0) stage I, 36% (n=24) stage II, 42% (n=28) stage III and 22% (n=15) stage IV findings. We measured the radiological trapezium height on AP and lateral views as described by Kapandji. These were 10.6mm and 10.8mm for stage II, 9.6mm and 8.9mm for stage III, 8.6mm and 7.8mm for stage IV, respectively. Eighty-six percent of patients had a trapezium height suitable for total joint replacement. The radiological height decreased significantly with the OA stage. At stage IV, the average height fell below the 8-mm threshold, compromising the surgical indication for total arthroplasty. BACKGROUND When stepping over obstacles, analyses have focused on the successful trials to understand adaptive gait. However, examination of the inadvertent trips that occasionally occur in the laboratory can provide a rich source of information regarding the gait characteristics underlying trip-related falls. RESEARCH QUESTION What gait variables during obstacle crossing are associated with inadvertent obstacle contacts, and are these variables different across the lifespan? METHODS Three age groups included young adults (20-35 years, N = 20), middle-aged adults (50-64 years, N = 15), and older adults (65-79 years, N = 19). A stationary, visible obstacle (26 cm tall) was placed in the middle of a walkway. L-Glutamic acid monosodium Foot trajectories and head angles were compared between contact and non-contact trials. RESULTS Twelve participants contacted the obstacle seven young adults (3.5% of young adult trials), two middle-aged adults (1.3%), and three older adults (1.6%). Young and middle-aged adults contacted primarily with the trail limb, while older adults contacted primarily with the lead limb. Contacts occurred for different reasons Most young adult contact trials had appropriate foot placement, but inadequate elevation; middle-aged and older adults demonstrated inappropriate foot placement before the obstacle, leading to foot contact during the swing phase. SIGNIFICANCE Lower contact rates in the middle-aged and older adults indicates that the cautious strategies adopted during obstacle crossing are effective. Higher contact rates in young adults may indicate trial-and-error exploratory behavior. Inappropriate foot placement in the middle-aged and older adults may indicate impaired ability to gather obstacle position information during the approach phase. Published by Elsevier B.V.Genomic integrity is challenged by endo- and exogenous assaults that are combated by highly conserved DNA repair mechanisms. Repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is of particular importance, as DSBs inflict chromosome breaks that are the basis of genomic instability. High fidelity recombination repair of DSBs relies on the Rad51 recombinase, aided by several Rad51 paralogs. Despite their significant contribution to DSB repair, the individual roles for Rad51 paralogs are incompletely understood. Drosophila serves as a metazoan model for DNA damage repair at the organismal level. Yet, only two out of four Rad51 paralogs have been studied so far and both are restricted to meiotic recombination repair. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we have generated the first X-ray repair cross complementing 2 (xrcc2) null mutant in Drosophila. Like any other Drosophila Rad51 homologue, loss of xrcc2 does not affect fly development. We found that Drosophila xrcc2 – despite a specific expression in ovaries – is not essential for meiotic DSB repair, but supports the process.
