Unanswered questions about parricide abound. The scientific literature on parricide is modest and plagued by several methodological problems. In the present article, we seek to describe these problems, propose possible remedies, and review the legal considerations related to parricide. The rarity of the phenomenon creates significant barriers to the collecting of data about it. Moreover, generalization from any one study of parricide is also limited due to the low prevalence rate of the crime and ensuing difficulties with generating an unbiased sample of adequate size. The present article proposes strategies for accessing a statistically relevant sample size, in light of this low prevalence rate. Some of the remaining unanswered questions about parricide are also raised. Finally, legal questions surrounding criminal responsibility are explored.

Introduction: Cadmium (Cd) and polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs), two ubiquitous environmental contaminants, produce unique synergistic toxicity when co-existing. Key unanswered questions include specific effects on liver function and potential mechanisms.
Methods: In this study, C57BL/6 mice and AML12 cells were used to establish and models to elucidate the effects of combined exposure to PS-MPs and Cd on the liver and their mechanisms.

The objective of this study is to address the unanswered question whether sustained supersaturation generated from amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) formulated in insoluble hydrogel carriers will result in better bioavailability over that of spring-and-parachute type of dissolution profiles of ASDs formulated in water-soluble carriers. This was achieved by investigating the effects of supersaturation generation rates and doses on the extent of absorption (i.e.

Measurements of resting metabolic rate (RMR) may be undertaken for dietary planning purposes or to assess for low energy availability (LEA). This study investigated barriers and enablers to measuring RMR in real-world, high-performance sport environments. Twelve interviews were conducted with technicians ( = 6 dietitians, = 6 physiologists) employed across six National Institute Networks, two National Sporting Organisations and one professional sporting code.

Background: Cystic fibrosis is a multisystem disease characterised by the production of thick secretions causing recurrent pulmonary infection, often with unusual bacteria. Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of acute deteriorations in symptoms (pulmonary exacerbations); however, recently the assumption that exacerbations are due to increases in bacterial burden has been questioned. This is an update of a previously published review.

Poly(triazine imide) (PTI) materials, a class of layered graphitic carbon nitrides, have garnered significant attention for their unique electronic, thermal, and catalytic properties. These properties can be adjusted through postsynthesis treatments. However, the influence of these treatments on the layer stacking modes and local structures within PTI remains largely unexplored.
