"Just listen to me": Experiences of therapy after childhood sibling sexual abuse.

Background: Sibling sexual abuse (SSA) is considered to occur more frequently than other types of intrafamilial sexual abuse and is related to numerous detrimental outcomes. Despite this, the literature on SSA is limited, which results in a knowledge gap on the effects of this type of abuse and specifically on survivors' experiences of therapy and challenges for interventions.

Objective: This study extends current knowledge by qualitatively investigating experiences of therapy of adults who experienced childhood SSA, to identify specific challenges and considerations for therapeutic interventions.

The Zagreb Skull Collection-The unique identified collection of human skulls from fetuses to centenarians.

Skull anatomy and development have been extensively studied due to their significance in evolutionary biology, forensic anthropology, and clinical medicine. Bone collections are an indispensable resource for conducting such anthropological and anatomical studies. However, worldwide there are only few skull collections containing specimens covering the entire fetal and postnatal period.

In the eye of the beholder - how course delivery affects anatomy education.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused major shifts in students' learning strategies as well as teaching environments that profoundly affected the delivery of anatomy courses in medical schools. The Department of Anatomy at the University of Zagreb School of Medicine had a unique experience where the anatomy course in 2019/2020 was first taught in-person before transferring to an online course delivery, while the inverse happened in 2020/2021. The core curriculum, course material and examination criteria were the same in both academic years.

Development of multidisciplinary sexual assault centres in the Netherlands.

The professional approach of sexual assault victims has changed since the 1970s: from a fragmented model to a centralised 'gate management model', where multiple disciplines offer collaborative services at one central location. Like other countries across the globe, the Netherlands took steps towards an integrated, multi-agency support framework for victims of sexual assault. The objective of this paper was threefold: (1) to describe the development of the multidisciplinary Sexual Assault Centres (SAC) in the Netherlands, (2) to assess the characteristics of victims who attended the SAC, and the services they used (3) to analyse Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of the current framework (SWOT).

Risk factors for PTSD diagnosis in young victims of recent sexual assault.

Background: Sexual assault is associated with a high risk of developing PTSD. Little is known about the PTSD onset in children who have recently been victimized by sexual assault. It is important to identify children at risk for PTSD after sexual assault to prevent chronic problems and revictimization.

Background: About 40% of rape victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within three months after the assault. Considering the high personal and societal impact of PTSD, there is an urgent need for early (i.e.

Piloting sexual assault care centres in Belgium: who do they reach and what care is offered?

Background: Sexual assault (SA) is highly prevalent in Belgium. In order to mitigate the negative consequences for victims of acute SA, Sexual Assault Care Centres (SACCs) were piloted from October 2017 to October 2018 in three Belgian hospitals. SACCs offer medical and psychological care, forensic examination and the possibility to report to the police at the SACC.

Male Victims at a Dutch Sexual Assault Center: A Comparison to Female Victims inCharacteristics and Service Use.

Recently, there has been an increase in referrals of male victims of sexual assault to interdisciplinary sexual assault centers (SACs). Still, there is limited research on the characteristics of men who refer or are referred to SACs and the services they need. To facilitate the medical, forensic, and psychological treatment in SACs, a better understanding of male victims is indispensable.

The anatomy lesson of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: irreplaceable tradition (cadaver work) and new didactics of digital technology.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of different components of online and contact anatomy classes as perceived by medical students.

Methods: An anonymous course evaluation survey was conducted at the end of the academic year 2019/2020. The organization of classes due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic provided our students with a unique opportunity to compare online and contact classes.

The Tonic Immobility Scale in adolescent and young adult rape victims: Support for three-factor model.

Objective: A substantial number of sexual assault victims report experiencing some form of peritraumatic tonic immobility (TI). A self-report questionnaire that is widely used to assess TI retrospectively is the Tonic Immobility Scale (TIS). This study explored the factor structure of the TIS in a clinical sample of adolescent and young adults.

Do early interventions prevent PTSD? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the safety and efficacy of early interventions after sexual assault.

: To review the safety and efficacy of early interventions after sexual assault in reducing or preventing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). : Systematic searches were performed on studies (1980-2018) that examined the efficacy of interventions for PTSD within 3 months after sexual assault. : The review identified 7 studies (n = 350) with high risk of bias that investigated 5 interventions.

THE ANATOMY OF OROFACIAL INNERVATION.

The whole human body receives rich sensory innervation with only one exception and that is the brain tissue. The orofacial region is hence no exception. The head region consequently receives a rich network of sensory nerves making it special because the two types of sensory fibres, visceral and somatic overlap, especially in the pharynx.

Early intervention with eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to reduce the severity of posttraumatic stress symptoms in recent rape victims: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

It is estimated that more than 40% of rape victims develops a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a statistic that is relatively high compared to other types of trauma. PTSD can affect the victims' psychological, sexual, and physical health. Therefore, there is an urgent need for early interventions to prevent the onset of PTSD in this target group.

A Quantitative Golgi Study of Dendritic Morphology in the Mice Striatal Medium Spiny Neurons.

In this study we have provided a detailed quantitative morphological analysis of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the mice dorsal striatum and determined the consistency of values among three groups of animals obtained in different set of experiments. Dendritic trees of 162 Golgi Cox (FD Rapid GolgiStain Kit) impregnated MSNs from 15 adult C57BL/6 mice were 3-dimensionally reconstructed using Neurolucida software, and parameters of dendritic morphology have been compared among experimental groups. The parameters of length and branching pattern did not show statistically significant difference and were highly consistent among groups.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT TREATMENT GUIDELINES FOR COMPLEX PTSD IN ADULTS.

According to current treatment guidelines for Complex PTSD (cPTSD), psychotherapy for adults with cPTSD should start with a "stabilization phase." This phase, focusing on teaching self-regulation strategies, was designed to ensure that an individual would be better able to tolerate trauma-focused treatment. The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate the research underlying these treatment guidelines for cPTSD, and to specifically address the question as to whether a phase-based approach is needed.

Enhanced screening for posttraumatic stress disorder and comorbid diagnoses in children and adolescents.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a debilitating disorder and often co-occurs with other psychiatric disorders, such as mood, behavioral, and anxiety disorders. Early identification of PTSD and psychiatric comorbidity is highly relevant in order to offer children appropriate and timely treatment. The Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13) is a reliable and valid self-report measure designed to screen children for PTSD.

[Stabilisation in trauma treatment: necessity or myth?].

Background: With regard to the treatment of patients who have been traumatised in childhood by interpersonal trauma and have been diagnosed as having symptoms of complex ptsd, it is advisable that exposure of such patients to traumatic memories should be preceded by a stabilisation phase: during this phase patients can be taught various techniques including particularly those that enable them to regulate their emotions.

Aim: To find out whether there is strong empirical evidence for the introduction of a phase-based treatment approach for this patient group.

Method: We performed a critical evaluation of the available scientific literature and guidelines.
