Integrating early life stress in neurological disease: advancing preventive neurology.

Background: In 2021, an estimated 43% of the world's population had been diagnosed with a neurological disorder. Early life stress (ELS) is now a well-established risk factor for later-life neurological disorders. However, translation to clinical practice is hindered by oversimplification, lack of standardisation and limited knowledge of the patterns and mechanisms of disease pathogenesis.

Sensory-processing sensitivity, parenting styles, and adult attachment patterns in parents of young children.

Background: Increased sensitivity to internal and external stimuli, known as sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS), has been linked to attachment insecurity and less optimal parenting styles in parents of children aged 4-13 years. Associations between these parenting factors in parents of children aged 3 years and younger have not yet been investigated. Understanding the relationships between these factors will facilitate the development of strategies to better support highly sensitive parents.

Development and evaluation of an online education module to improve clinician knowledge and management of eating disorders in the peripartum: a pre-post survey study.

Objective: Eating disorders (EDs) comprise a range of illnesses characterised by disordered eating, distressing thoughts, and changes in weight. EDs in the perinatal period are a growing concern. Maternity staff receive little training in this area and often report feeling ill-equipped to recognise or respond to presentations of ED during this time.
