Purpose Of Review: The aim of this review is to explore a possible link between immunological candidate proteins, identified through modern proteomic techniques, and preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Recent Findings: Proteomics has become a promising tool in the search for disease pathways, drug targets, and biomarkers. PE and FGR are adverse pregnancy complications with supposed immunological involvement in their pathogenesis, but no circulating immunological biomarkers are currently established for diagnosis and risk stratification.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between self-reported workplace bullying and various hospital-diagnosed mental disorders as well as the use of psychotropic medications.
- Analyzing data from over 75,000 participants, researchers found that workplace bullying significantly increased the risk of mental disorders, particularly mood and stress-related disorders, especially among women.
- The findings suggest that individuals experiencing workplace bullying are more likely to be prescribed psychotropic drugs, highlighting the serious mental health implications of bullying in the workplace.
Stress has been associated with less effective vaccine responses in adults. This review aims to investigate the evidence for a similar association in children. A systematic review search was conducted in January 2021 in three databases: Medline, Embase and PsycInfo.

An algometer measuring pressure pain sensitivity (PPS) has been shown to correlate to certain stress measures in adults.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: Objectively validated pediatric sleep questionnaires covering a broader age range and different sleep disturbances are lacking, therefore we developed the Sleep Screening Questionnaire Children and Adolescents (SSQ-CA) and compared it with objective sleep parameters.
Methods: This child-reported questionnaire was developed by a multidisciplinary panel and face validated. In a cross-sectional prospective design, participants aged 6-17, answered the questionnaire twice with 21-28 days in between, wore actigraphy (AG) and kept a sleep diary for seven nights and home-polysomnography (PSG) for one of these nights.
