Article Synopsis
- Social stress can increase oxidative stress in the brain, potentially leading to mental health disorders, with previous studies showing that social hierarchies impact this stress.
- In a study of cichlid fish, researchers found that dominant males (who are territorial and reproductively active) had lower oxidative DNA damage in the midbrain and greater antioxidant capacity compared to subordinate males.
- The findings suggest that social status and reproductive activity influence oxidative balance in the brain, but the effects vary across different brain areas.
Wall-associated kinases (WAKs) and WAK-likes (WAKLs) are transmembrane pectin receptors which have seen rising interest in recent years due to their roles in stress responses and developmental pathways. Consequently, the genes encoding these proteins are continuously identified, described and characterised across a wide variety of plant species. The primary goal of characterizing these genes is to classify, describe and infer cellular function, mostly through methods.

With the onset and progression of puberty, many young people develop an eveningness chronotype, which remains prevalent through the transition into adulthood. Eveningness has been associated with increased risk for poorer health.

- Spoken narrative skills are crucial for adolescents, but autistic young people often struggle with creating coherent and structured narratives.
- The study analyzed 44 autistic adolescents and 54 non-autistic peers, evaluating their narrative performance alongside mentalising and executive function abilities.
- Results indicated that mentalising significantly predicts narrative performance, more so than diagnostic group, while executive function did not show a predictive relationship with narrative ability.
Persistent post-operative opioid use is a public health concern contributing to population morbidity and mortality. Opioid stewardship is a strategy adopted to rationalise opioid prescribing and limit harmful use. We describe persistent post-discharge opioid use rates and risk factors in a single-centre cohort and describe the opioid stewardship role of our Acute Pain Service (APS).
