We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in 327 children with cerebral palsy (CP) and their biological parents. We classified 37 of 327 (11.3%) children as having pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants and 58 of 327 (17.

Moral distress has been identified as an occupational hazard for clinicians caring for vulnerable populations. The aim of this systematic review was (i) to summarize the literature reporting on prevalence of, and factors related to, moral distress among nurses within acute mental health settings, and (ii) to examine the efficacy of interventions designed to address moral distress among nurses within this clinical setting. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in October 2022 utilizing Nursing & Allied Health, Embase, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and PubMed databases to identify eligible studies published in English from January 2000 to October 2022.

Climate-driven changes including rising air temperatures, enhanced permafrost degradation, and altered precipitation patterns can have profound effects on contaminants, such as mercury (Hg), in High Arctic lakes. Two physically similar lakes, East Lake and West Lake at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory on Melville Island, Nunavut, Canada are being affected by climate change differently. Both lakes have experienced permafrost degradation in their catchments; however, West Lake has also undergone multiple underwater Mass Movement Events (MMEs; beginning in fall 2008), leading to a sustained 50-fold increase in turbidity.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined gene copy number variation (CNV) in a large group of 7,100 children and youth, focusing on its impact on mental health, cognitive functioning, and physical health.
  • - Clinically relevant CNVs were found in 3.9% of participants and were linked to higher ADHD traits, cognitive deficits, and increased occurrence of specific mental health diagnoses like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and learning disorders.
  • - The research highlights the role of rare genetic deletions in brain-related gene sets, suggesting they contribute to ADHD characteristics, and sets a baseline for understanding genetic factors in mental health issues among youth during a growing crisis.
