Love's Paradox: Unraveling the Dynamics of Love and Psychological Intimate Partner Violence Against Women.

This study investigates the connection between psychological intimate partner violence (IPV) and love components in relationships, surveying 1,061 women. Using Sternberg's Triangular Love Scale, participants assessed Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion, revealing four clusters ("Moderate Love," "No Love," "Low Passion," and "Mostly Passion"). ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) analysis, with age as covariate, highlighted significant differences in Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion among clusters, validating the classification.

The Buds of Oscarella lobularis (Porifera, Homoscleromorpha): A New Convenient Model for Sponge Cell and Evolutionary Developmental Biology.

The comparative study of the four non-bilaterian phyla (Cnidaria, Placozoa, Ctenophora, and Porifera) provides insights into the origin of bilaterian traits. To complete our knowledge of the cell biology and development of these animals, additional non-bilaterian models are needed. Given the developmental, histological, ecological, and genomic differences between the four sponge classes (Demospongiae, Calcarea, Homoscleromorpha, and Hexactinellida), we have been developing the Oscarella lobularis (Porifera, class Homoscleromorpha) model over the past 15 years.

Optimizing the Assessment of Parental Burnout: A Multi-informant and Multimethod Approach to Determine Cutoffs for the Parental Burnout Inventory and the Parental Burnout Assessment.

Parental burnout (PB) is a chronic stress-related condition resulting from long-lasting exposure to overwhelming parenting stress. Previous studies showing the seriousness of this condition stressed the urgent need to provide researchers and practitioners with effective assessment tools. Validated PB measures are the Parental Burnout Inventory (PBI) and the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA).

A comparative study of orthorexia between premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women.

Purpose: Studies suggested that menopause is a period of vulnerability for disordered eating behaviors, but whether menopause could be linked to orthorexia nervosa (ON) remains unexplored.

Methods: A sample composed of 709 women aged between 30 and 71 years (mean age = 43.08 years, SD = 9.

Patch-seq of mouse DRG neurons reveals candidate genes for specific mechanosensory functions.

A variety of mechanosensory neurons are involved in touch, proprioception, and pain. Many molecular components of the mechanotransduction machinery subserving these sensory modalities remain to be discovered. Here, we combine recordings of mechanosensitive (MS) currents in mechanosensory neurons with single-cell RNA sequencing.

Unravelling the genetic causes of multiple malformation syndromes: A whole exome sequencing study of the Cypriot population.

Multiple malformation syndromes (MMS) belong to a group of genetic disorders characterised by neurodevelopmental anomalies and congenital malformations. Here we explore for the first time the genetic aetiology of MMS using whole-exome sequencing (WES) in undiagnosed patients from the Greek-Cypriot population after prior extensive diagnostics workup including karyotype and array-CGH. A total of 100 individuals (37 affected), from 32 families were recruited and family-based WES was applied to detect causative single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels.

In Situ Hybridization Techniques in the Homoscleromorph Sponge Oscarella lobularis.

The Porifera are one of the best candidates as the sister group to all other metazoans. Studies on this phylum are therefore expected to shed light on the origin and early evolution of key animal features. Transcriptomic or genomic data acquired during the last 10 years have highlighted the conservation of most of the main genes and pathways involved in the development of the other metazoans.

Staining and Tracking Methods for Studying Sponge Cell Dynamics.

To better understand the origin of animal cell types, body plans, and other morphological features, further biological knowledge and understanding are needed from non-bilaterian phyla, namely, Placozoa, Ctenophora, and Porifera. This chapter describes recent cell staining approaches that have been developed in three phylogenetically distinct sponge species-the homoscleromorph Oscarella lobularis, and the demosponges Amphimedon queenslandica and Lycopodina hypogea-to enable analyses of cell death, proliferation, and migration. These methods allow for a more detailed understanding of cellular behaviors and fates, and morphogenetic processes in poriferans, building on current knowledge of sponge cell biology that relies chiefly on classical (static) histological observations.

Development and preliminary validation of the Maternal Burnout Scale (MBS) in a French sample of mothers: bifactorial structure, reliability, and validity.

The study and evaluation of burnout in the context of parenthood have been of growing interest over the last years. The aim of this study is to develop and validate the Maternal Burnout Scale (MBS) to contribute knowledge of the assessment of parental burnout. Items were developed based on elements from an extensive literature review that defined the significant dimensions interesting to the parental context.

Depression, anxiety, and guilt in mothers with burnout of preschool and school-aged children: Insight from a cluster analysis.

Introduction: The primary objective of this study is to identify the typology of exhausted mothers based on, depressive, anxiety, and guilt symptoms. And, secondarily, evaluate whether these profiles differ on parental stress, environmental stress, and parental burnout.

Methods: Five hundred and fifty French-speaking mothers suffering from exhaustion completed several questionnaires assessing parental stress, general perceived stress, maternal guilt, and depressive and anxious symptomology.

Body image, satisfaction with sexual life, self-esteem, and anxiodepressive symptoms: A comparative study between premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women.

Menopause is an important life transition in women, and it is associated with significant physical and psychological changes. This study aimed at examining how the menopausal transition influences body image and satisfaction with sexual life. To this aim, body image dissatisfaction, sexual dissatisfaction, and self-esteem were compared in three groups of women with distinct menopausal status (premenopausal  = 142, perimenopausal  = 66, or postmenopausal  = 149), while controlling for depressive and anxiety symptoms and BMI.

Childbirth as a forthcoming traumatic event: pretraumatic stress disorder during pregnancy and its psychological correlates.

Background: Recent research has suggested that pretraumatic stress related to a forthcoming predictable traumatic event might exist and that such stress reactions would be a key, 'but largely ignored', aspect of the etiology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). While it is now acknowledged that childbirth may lead to PTSD, less is known regarding pretraumatic reactions in pregnancy. This study aims to (a) explore the frequency of PTSD, Fear of Childbirth and tokophobia associated with the forthcoming delivery and (b) highlight associated features of pre-traumatic stress symptoms.

[Study of the relations between the pain of childbirth and postpartum, and depressive and traumatic symptoms].

Objectives: This study aims to determine the incidence of pain in childbirth and postpartum on depressive and post-traumatic symptomatology 6weeks after delivery.

Methods: One hundred and nine women who gave birth in maternity hospitals of type 2$participated in the study. Two to four days after delivery they have completed five self-administered questionnaires to assess pain of childbirth (QDSA), dramatization of pain (PCS-CF), satisfaction of childbirth (CEQ), peri-traumatic distress (IDP) and depressive symptoms (EPDS) and visual analogue scales to measure immediate postnatal pain.

Maternal burn-out: an exploratory study.

Introduction: Maternal burn-out is a psychological, emotional and physiological condition resulting from the accumulation of various stressors characterised by a moderate but also a chronic and repetitive dimension. Little research has focused on this syndrome.

Objective: The current study aims to assess maternal burn-out rate and to identify factors associated with this state of exhaustion.

When Fear of Childbirth is Pathological: The Fear Continuum.

Objectives: Given that prepartum psychiatric symptoms have been reported to be associated with postpartum disorders, focusing on the prepartum period appears of prime importance. The aim of the current study was threefold: (a) to identify the prevalence rates of women suffering from fear of childbirth (FOC) and tokophobia (b) to explore the association between FOC, obstetrical and psychopathological variables and (c) to identify the independent predictors of the intensity of FOC symptoms, FOC and tokophobia.

Methods: at 36 weeks' gestation, 98 women completed questionnaires assessing FOC, pretraumatic stress, fear of pain, depressive and anxiety symptomatology as well as perceived social support.

[Corporal image and pregnancy: A look at psychometric properties of the French translation of the Pregnancy and Weigh Gain Attitude Scale].

Background: Body dissatisfaction among pregnant women can provoke behaviors to control weight gain and make them more vulnerable to eating disorders. Body dissatisfaction and strategies to control weight during pregnancy can have many consequences for both the mother and baby. Excessive weight gain may cause complications during childbirth and, reciprocally, a too weak weight gain could be associated with the risk of having a baby with a very low birth weight.

Evidence for two distinct waves of epidermal ionocyte differentiation during medaka embryonic development.

Background: The fish epidermis contains specific cells, or ionocytes, that are specialized in ion transport and contribute to the osmoregulatory function. Besides the zebrafish model, the medaka (Oryzias latipes) has recently emerged as an important model for osmoregulation studies because it possesses a particularly high adaptability to salinity changes. However, hindering the progress of research on embryonic ionocytes is the lack of a comprehensive view of their developmental dynamic.

[Psychology and pregnancy loss].

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between psychology and pregnancy loss.

Methods: A literature review was conducted by consulting Medline until April 2014.

Results: Psychological factors appear to be significantly associated with the risk of recurrent miscarriage.

[Premature delivery: a traumatic birth? Posttraumatic stress symptoms and associated features].

Objectives: While researches focusing on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following childbirth tend to develop, few studies have been conducted on French samples. The aim of the current study was to explore the prevalence rate of women developing postpartum PTSD following preterm birth and highlighting associated features.

Patients And Method: In the 4weeks following the preterm infant's hospital discharge, a sample of 110 French women (mean age [SD]=29.

[Validation of the French version of the Maternal Self-report Inventory (short form)].

Background: Self-esteem is defined as the opinion of one's self that one establishes and maintains during the lifetime. Self-esteem is considered to be based on general as well as specific elements that define the individual's identity. Whereas overall self-esteem evolves over the lifespan, specific elements change regularly and thus have an impact on these specific types of self-esteem.

[Women's motivations to give birth with or without epidural analgesia].

Objectives: This study aimed to question pregnant women about motivations to give birth with and without epidural analgesia, and about their perceptions of childbirth and pain.

Patients And Methods: One hundred and fourteen pregnant women completed questionnaires measuring their wish of an epidural analgesia, pain experienced during a childbirth, general anxiety, their perception of a childbirth and then motivations of a woman to give birth with and without epidural analgesia.

Results: Women gave more motivations to give birth with an epidural analgesia.

[Effect of paternity leave on maternal postpartum depression].

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the role of the paternity leave in the appearance of the maternal postpartum depression.

Patients And Methods: Fifty-one couples took part in the whole study. Between the second and the fifth day after the childbirth, the mother completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), which measures the symptoms of depression and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) which measures the social support the mother has become.

Traumatic grief and traumatic stress in survivors 12 years after the genocide in Rwanda.

The relationship between exposure to traumatic events and traumatic grief and the role of mediating and moderating variables [peritraumatic distress, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and symptoms of depression] were studied in survivors of the genocide of Batutsi in Rwanda in 1994. One hundred and two survivors (70 women, mean age 45 ± 7.53 years) participated in this retrospective study.
