Article Abstract
Objective: Research has demonstrated that gambling is becoming increasingly normalised for women. As limited research has sought to understand women's perspectives on this issue, we sought women's opinions about the factors that may contribute to the normalisation of gambling for women, and the strategies that may counter this normalisation.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 41 women in young and middle adulthood, aged 20-40 years.
Results: Participants suggested that gambling was normal for women because gambling environments had been designed to appeal to women, newer technologies had removed the stigma of attending physical venues, and the growing equality and independence of women. To de-normalise gambling, women suggested addressing the influential role of marketing, designing new public education strategies, addressing the availability and accessibility of gambling, and restricting engagement with gambling products.
Conclusion: This study highlighted women's perceptions of strategies to address the normalisation of gambling and the importance of providing risk information paired with broader policy reform and prevention initiatives to address the range of determinants that normalise gambling for women.
Implications For Public Health: Involving women in advocacy and understanding their perspectives is important in developing relevant public health responses to the normalisation of gambling for women.

DNA methylation cooperates with genomic alterations during non-small cell lung cancer evolution.

Aberrant DNA methylation has been described in nearly all human cancers, yet its interplay with genomic alterations during tumor evolution is poorly understood. To explore this, we performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing on 217 tumor and matched normal regions from 59 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from the TRACERx study to deconvolve tumor methylation. We developed two metrics for integrative evolutionary analysis with DNA and RNA sequencing data.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, which is associated with motor and non-motor symptoms. Dopamine replacement therapy can remediate motor symptoms, but can also cause impulse control disorder (ICD), characterized by pathological gambling, hypersexuality, and/or compulsive shopping. Approximately 14-40% of all medicated PD patients suffer from ICD.

Introduction: Existing diagnosis systems, such as DSM-5 and ICD-11, predominantly rely on a dichotomous approach, flat, cross-sectional definitions of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) that fail to capture the persistent, evolving nature and may contribute to heterogeneity. Applying a clinical staging approach, we propose that IGD spans a continuum with early stages marked by euphoria from gaming and later stages by compulsive gaming. This study aimed to empirically identify distinct IGD stages.

Background: Greece encountered unique COVID-19-pandemic-related challenges, shaped by the country's previous deleterious economic context, an already strained healthcare system and possibly one of Europe's earliest, longest and most stringent restrictive protocols.
Objectives: To offer comprehensive insights into the longitudinal trajectory of a broad range of behavioral and coping parameters within general adult Greek population across the first two pandemic waves.
Methods: Multiple-wave, cross-sectional data from the "Collaborative Outcomes study on Health and Functioning during Infection Times" (COH-FIT) assessed four different time points in order to examine outcomes changes from retrospective, pre-pandemic baseline ratings (T0) to three distinct intra-pandemic time points (lockdown 1: T1, between lockdowns: T2, lockdown 2: T3).
Pathological gambling (PG) is characterized by altered decision-making. Even though studies have investigated decision-making in patients with PG, the effects of win-contingent stimuli thereon are not well understood yet. Thus, we conducted a study in patients with PG (n = 10) and healthy individuals (n = 14), who performed two versions of a slot machine gambling task with and without win-contingent cues, while decision making and gaze fixations were assessed using high-resolution eye-tracking.
