Article Synopsis
- Children affected by substance use disorders (SUD) are more likely to enter child welfare systems, and effective interventions should focus on the entire family unit rather than just the individual suffering from SUD.* -
- This study explored the link between participation in the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC) model and the rates of family reunification in cases involving substance use disorders within family treatment courts.* -
- Results indicated that 74% of children involved in the ABC model were reunified with their biological parents, compared to 57% of those not exposed; biological parent participation significantly increased the likelihood of reunification.*
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a distraction method for managing pain and anxiety during outpatient uterine aspiration procedures.
- Involving 50 participants, the study compared VR intervention with standard care, measuring pain and anxiety scores before and after the procedure, along with conducting qualitative interviews.
- Results showed no significant difference in pain and anxiety between the two groups, but the majority of VR users reported a positive experience, indicating that while VR may not reduce pain or anxiety scores, it is still a viable and acceptable option for enhancing patient comfort.
Radiocarbon (C) is essential for creating chronologies to study the timings and drivers of pivotal events in human history and the Earth system over the past 55,000 years. It is also a fundamental proxy for investigating solar processes, including the potential of the Sun for extreme activity. Until now, fluctuations in past atmospheric C levels have limited the dating precision possible using radiocarbon.

Method: Participants were randomly assigned to standard PCIT ( = 120) or services-as-usual (SAU; = 84). The sample was characterized by low household income, significant exposures to adverse childhood experiences, and substance abuse.
Six infant human teeth and 112 animal tooth pendants from Borsuka Cave were identified as the oldest burial in Poland. However, uncertainties around the dating and the association of the teeth to the pendants have precluded their association with an Upper Palaeolithic archaeological industry. Using <67 mg per tooth, we combined dating and genetic analyses of two human teeth and six herbivore tooth pendants to address these questions.
