- Ideal partner preferences shape key insights in human mating research, but recent studies face issues such as inconsistent analysis methods and varying findings across different populations.
- A large-scale study involving 10,358 participants from 43 countries revealed significant effects of preference matching, particularly when analyzing traits collectively, with some traits showing minimal impact on partner evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate whether patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) have a higher prevalence of audiovestibular issues compared to non-SSc patients, focusing on their symptoms and testing outcomes.
- The review included 13 studies with 414 SSc patients and 390 controls, revealing that SSc patients experienced significantly higher rates of tinnitus, vertigo, and subjective hearing loss than those without the condition.
- While SSc patients showed worse hearing compared to controls, these findings were statistically significant but not clinically significant, underscoring the need for comprehensive audiovestibular assessments in SSc management.
