Article Synopsis
  • This synthesis analyzes how the severity of intimate partner violence (IPV) relates to mental health outcomes and identifies limitations in current methods used to measure IPV severity.
  • The study reviewed 76 existing research articles, highlighting inconsistencies in IPV measurement approaches which impact the reliability of findings.
  • Results indicated that higher levels of IPV severity are generally linked to worse mental health outcomes like PTSD and depression, but individual IPV subtypes showed unclear, inconsistent effects on these outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • The research team has focused on the natural dye-producing plant, annatto, gaining insights into its gene expression and regeneration processes.
  • They have also explored gene editing techniques to improve bixin biosynthesis and breeding practices for this important species.
  • The text outlines a detailed protocol for somatic embryogenesis and an optimized method for transforming annatto using Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

The aim of this systematic review was to assess the magnitude of the association between types of intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health outcomes and shed light on the large variation in IPV prevalence rates between low- to middle-income countries and high-income countries. The study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The following databases were searched for this study: Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and the Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts.

The effects of neuroinvasion by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) become clinically relevant due to the numerous neurological symptoms observed in Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients during infection and post-COVID syndrome or long COVID. This study reports the biofabrication of a 3D bioprinted neural-like tissue as a proof-of-concept platform for a more representative study of SARS-CoV-2 brain infection. Bioink is optimized regarding its biophysical properties and is mixed with murine neural cells to construct a 3D model of COVID-19 infection.
