The impact of anatomical dolls on reports provided by 3- to 12-year-old alleged sexual abuse victims (N = 178) was examined. Children produced as many details in response to open-ended invitations with and without the dolls. In response to directive questions, the 3- to 6-year-olds were more likely to re-enact behaviorally than to report verbally, whereas the 7- to 12-year-olds produced more verbal details than enactments when using the dolls. With the dolls, the younger children were more likely than the older children to play suggestively and to contradict details provided without the dolls, whereas the older children were more likely to provide details that were consistent. Children in both age groups produced proportionally more fantastic details with the dolls than without the dolls.

Bereaved Parents' Perceptions of the Doll Reenactment After Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths.
Pediatrics
January 2025
Robert's Program on Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics, Division of General Pediatrics, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background And Objectives: A death scene investigation is required to determine sudden infant death syndrome, and a doll reenactment optimizes the information obtained. The aim of this study was to explore how acutely bereaved parents experience doll reenactments that are conducted after the sudden and unexpected deaths of their infants.
Methods: A mixed-methods design, including surveys and semi-structured interviews, was used in a cross-sectional, national study to explore the experiences of doll reenactment among 45 bereaved parents.

Article Synopsis
- Previous research on cosmetic surgery acceptance has mainly focused on adult females, highlighting the need for qualitative studies on adolescents, who are increasingly becoming the next demographic for cosmetic procedures.
- This study comprises 13 focus groups with 42 adolescents, analyzing their attitudes and intentions regarding cosmetic procedures through reflexive thematic analysis, resulting in five key themes.
- The themes include sources of information about cosmetic procedures, the normalization of the cosmetic industry, varied attitudes towards these procedures, intentions to undergo them, and the construction of 'the cosmetic consumer,' illustrating how adolescents perceive and relate to the cosmetic surgery landscape.

Introduction: Enuresis nocturna (NE) is a condition in which a child over the age of five wets the bed at least two nights a week for at least three months. Physical diseases, deep sleep, familial predisposition, psychological reasons, separation from parents, fear, traumatic experiences, sibling jealousy, inadequate-irregular toilet training are effective in the emergence of NE.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of NE in 66-72-month-old children attending kindergarten, to examine the variables associated with NE, and to identify the feelings, thoughts and experiences of enuretic children.
Host molecules inside metal-organic frameworks: host@MOF and guest@host@MOF (Matrjoschka) materials.

The controllable encapsulation of host molecules (such as porphyrin, phthalocyanine, crown ether, calixarene or cucurbituril organic macrocycles, cages, metal-organic polyhedrons and enzymes) into the pores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to form host-in-host (host@MOF) materials has attracted increasing research interest in various fields. These host@MOF materials combine the merits of MOFs as a host matrix and functional host molecules to exhibit synergistic functionalities for the formation of guest@host@MOF materials in sorption and separation, ion capture, catalysis, proton/ion conduction and biosensors. (This guest@host@MOF construction is reminiscent of Russian (Matrjoschka) dolls which are nested dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another.

Introduction/background: Venous sinus thrombosis hypercoagulable states leads to delayed drainage of blood from the brain; consequently, resulting in cerebral oedema, raised intracranial pressure, or stroke. Causes are variable, including severe dehydration, infections, cancers, sinusitis, and brain surgery. The commonest symptoms are headache, seizures, and unconsciousness.
