spatialGE is a User-Friendly Web Application that Facilitates Spatial Transcriptomics Data Analysis.

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a powerful tool for understanding tissue biology and disease mechanisms. However, the advanced data analysis and programming skills required can hinder researchers from realizing of the full potential of ST. To address this, we developed spatialGE, a web application that simplifies the analysis of ST data.

Brief video intervention to increase treatment-seeking among individuals living in a conflict zone: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: On October 7, 2023, a large-scale attack in Southern Israel and the ensuing war led to widespread casualties and the displacement of hundreds of thousands in Southern and Northern Israel. The conflict has exacerbated mental health issues. This randomized controlled trial assessed a brief social-contact-based video intervention on a large sample of individuals living in conflict zones, aiming to examine its effects on increasing treatment-seeking intentions.

Genital lacerations following sexual assault and consensual sexual intercourse: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The identification of genital injuries during a medical-forensic examination may impact the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare prevalence of genital lacerations (or tears) in persons reporting consensual versus non-consensual vaginal penetration. We hypothesized there would be greater prevalence of genital injuries in the non-consensual group.

Predictors of study dropout in cognitive-behavioural therapy with a trauma focus for post-traumatic stress disorder in adults: An individual participant data meta-analysis.

Background: Available empirical evidence on participant-level factors associated with dropout from psychotherapies for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is both limited and inconclusive. More comprehensive understanding of the various factors that contribute to study dropout from cognitive-behavioural therapy with a trauma focus (CBT-TF) is crucial for enhancing treatment outcomes.

Objective: Using an individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) design, we examined participant-level predictors of study dropout from CBT-TF interventions for PTSD.
