Researchers working in the field of violence against women and children are often tasked with listening to highly distressing personal accounts of violence and subsequent trauma. Without proper attention and mitigation strategies, this exposure can lead to vicarious trauma and related symptoms with significant impact on researchers' well-being. As women are often leading and carrying out violence research, they also experience a disproportionate burden of risk of vicarious trauma symptoms.

We conducted a systematic review to explore interventions that prevent or respond to IPV and VAC by parents or caregivers, aiming to identify common intervention components and mechanisms that lead to a reduction in IPV and VAC. 30 unique interventions from 16 countries were identified, with 20 targeting both IPV and VAC.

- A 16-year-old boy had back pain but appeared healthy and didn't have any other signs of serious illness.
- After going to the emergency room twice, doctors found a rare and dangerous blood clot in a major vein of his body, which could seriously harm him.
- This situation shows that sometimes kids can have serious health issues that start with unusual symptoms like back pain, so it's important for doctors to recognize these warning signs.
Background: To improve detection of mucosal lesions during colonoscopy a number of imaging modalities have been suggested, including high definition and virtual chromoendoscopy. Given the theoretical advantage of these new imaging techniques, we aimed to investigate their use for the detection of polyps in patients referred for colonoscopy in a large tertiary hospital.
Methods: Demographic, endoscopic, and histological data from 1855 consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy were collected prospectively.
