Objective: Stress is an extensive issue in modern society, affecting men and women differently. A better understanding of these patterns is required within the work context. Therefore, this study aimed to identify gender differences in the effects of stressors (quantitative demands, qualitative demands, working time) and resources (job control, quality of leadership, co-worker support) on subjective perceived stress across occupational groups.

Fluid overload significantly increases morbidity and mortality in critically ill children. Following hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), children are at a high risk of fluid accumulation due to essential increased fluid intake for nutrition, blood products, and antimicrobials. In addition, many complications predispose these children to capillary leak and fluid overload (FO), such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, engraftment syndrome, sepsis, and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Smartphone use during parenting is common, which may lead to distraction (also known as technoference). However, it is likely that some phone activities are less disruptive to parents and children. In this study, we explored smartphone use (via passive sensing across 8 days) within 264 parents of infants, measuring parents' application use on their phone (e.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the hemiparasitic plant from the Orobanchaceae family, which siphons water and nutrients from other plants via root structures called haustoria.
  • It highlights the role of an endogenous peptide hormone, CLE1, in triggering the initial formation of these haustoria by enhancing responses to host-derived factors.
  • CLE1 is indicative of a regulatory mechanism that supports continuous resource extraction from host plants, similar to how CLE hormones influence nodulation in legumes.

Article Synopsis
  • PIK3CA gene variants are linked to vascular malformations, and this study aimed to analyze their phenotypes, locations within the gene, and frequency in patients with these conditions.
  • Data was collected from 558 patients with vascular malformations between 2008 and 2022, with genetic testing performed on biopsy samples starting in 2020, leading to 89 patients being included by June 2022.
  • The research found 25 PIK3CA variants, predominantly in nonsyndromic (simple/combined) vascular malformations, with notable hotspot and non-hotspot variants and significant differences in variant frequency between syndromic and nonsyndromic cases, highlighting the genetic diversity underlying these conditions.
