One of every ten young adults in the general population, and one out of every three young adults with traditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors, have CAC. While the defin...
The identification of premature CAC is important because it suggests that calcific plaque can be detected with modern imaging earlier in the natural history than previously thought. Taken together, th...

Synovial sarcomas are a rare subgroup of soft-tissue sarcoma arising in adolescents and young adults (AYA) and in adult patients. The objective of our analysis was to investigate the outcomes and pote...
In total, 51 patients (25 AYA and 26 adult) were identified and evaluated in this retrospective single centre analysis. Baseline characteristics, treatment and outcome were assessed....
The predominant subtype in both groups was monophasic synovial sarcoma (17 AYA and 21 adult) and the most common site was the extremities (14 and 19 patients) with deep tumour location in both groups ...
AYA and adult patients showed no significant difference in terms of overall survival. Male gender, tumour size >5 cm and progressive disease were prognostic markers for worse outcome, whereas tumour l...
The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of speech disfluencies in autistic young adults and controls by using a wide-range disfluency classification of typical disfluencies (TD; i.e., fill...
Thirty-two autistic young adults and 35 controls completed a narrative telling task based on socially complex events. Frequencies of total disfluencies, TD, SLD, AD and stuttering severity were compar...
The overall frequency of disfluencies was significantly higher in the autistic group and significant between-group differences were found for all disfluency categories. The autistic group produced sig...
Disfluent speech can be challenging for effective communication. This study revealed that the speech of autistic young adults was highly more disfluent than that of the controls. The findings provide ...
Young adults with opioid use disorder (OUD) have low engagement in treatment with medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The objective of this study is to explore the beliefs and attitudes about M...
We conducted a single-site qualitative study of 20 young adults ages 18-29 years with a diagnosis of OUD receiving care at an outpatient program and who spoke English. We used a flexible interview gui...
We identified three themes. First, participants perceived being on MOUD as stigmatizing. They regarded MOUD as lifesaving but ultimately as a "crutch" hindering their full recovery. Second, young adul...
In this study of young adults in treatment for OUD, we found that stigma and ambivalence concerning MOUD could explain young adults' low engagement in care. Interventions addressing concerns about the...

A total of 4345 patients were identified, with a median follow-up of 4.6 years. Relative to 50- to 75-year-old individuals, young-onset colorectal cancer was linked to a higher proportion of rectal ca...
The findings were limited by the retrospective analysis from a single center....
Young-onset colorectal cancer was more likely to present at an advanced stage and had a lower rate of screening-detected colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, young-onset screening-detected colorectal canc...
