A Systematic Review of Evidence-Based Treatments for Adolescent and Adult Sexual Assault Victims.

Background: Sexual assault (SA) is a serious crime that is a prevalent mental and public health problem.

Aims: Addressing the needs of SA victims and providing appropriate treatment are essential to reduce potential adverse short- and long-term outcomes.

Methods: Our team undertook an extensive systematic literature review (published between January 2006 and July 2021) to provide evidence-based mental health intervention recommendations for adolescent and adult victims of SA.

Modeling changes in baleen whale seasonal abundance, timing of migration, and environmental variables to explain the sudden rise in entanglements in California.

We document changes in the number of sightings and timing of humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae), blue (Balaenoptera musculus), and gray (Eschrichtius robustus) whale migratory phases in the vicinity of the Farallon Islands, California. We hypothesized that changes in the timing of migration off central California were driven by local oceanography, regional upwelling, and basin-scale climate conditions. Using 24 years of daily whale counts collected from Southeast Farallon Island, we developed negative binomial regression models to evaluate trends in local whale sightings over time.

Concussion Management Guidelines Neglect Auditory Symptoms.

Tinnitus, noise sensitivity, and hearing difficulties are commonly reported secondary to head injury. These auditory deficits have been shown to negatively impact daily functioning, and yet, often go unnoticed by health care professionals. The purpose of this editorial is to explain why it is essential for clinical practice guidelines that address the management of patients who have experienced a head injury to incorporate assessment and rehabilitation of auditory symptoms.

Modeling predator and prey hotspots: Management implications of baleen whale co-occurrence with krill in Central California.

As global ocean-bound commerce increases, managing human activities has become important in reducing conflict with threatened wildlife. This study investigates environmental factors determining abundance and distribution of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and their prey (Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera) in central California. We provide insights into environmental drivers of the ecology and distribution of these species, model whale distributions and determine coincident hotspots of whales and their prey that will help decrease human threats to whales and protect critical feeding habitat.

Correction: High mortality of blue, humpback and fin whales from modeling of vessel collisions on the U.S. West Coast suggests population impacts and insufficient protection.
