Knowing the characteristics associated with child exposure to spousal abuse could aid in early identification of at-risk children. The purpose of our study is to determine possible factors associated with child witnessing of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Canada using data from the 1999 General Social Survey, a representative telephone survey of Canadians aged 15 years and older. Respondents reporting IPV in the five years prior to the survey were asked whether a child had witnessed the incident. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the association between child witnessing of IPV and victim, assault, and help-seeking characteristics. Households in which child witnessing of IPV was reported were distinguished by the following factors: female respondent, visible minority, over age 30, separated, divorced, or widowed, low income, and the presence of children aged 0-14 years. Other significant variables associated with child witnessing of IPV were related to the frequency, reporting, and disclosure of violent incidents.

Microaggressions undermine health professionals' performance in patient care, research, and education. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an intervention addressing microaggressions in healthcare settings by empowering bystanders to act as upstanders across an academic medical center (AMC). This was achieved through an educational intervention that included a novel framework, didactics, video demonstrations, and practice with realistic scenarios.

Materials And Methods: The research group consisted of 56 boys and 70 girls aged 10-17 years who lived in radioactively contaminated areas of Zhytomyr, Rivne, and Kyiv regions with a soil contamination density of 137Cs from 18 kBq/m2 to 235 kBq/m2. The impact of stressful factors was assessed using the stress perception scale (PSS-10).

Background: Previous studies in mouse, and zebrafish embryos show strong expression in progenitor cells of neuronal and neural crest tissues suggesting its involvement in neural crest specification. However, the role of human transcription factor activator protein 2 ( in human embryonic central nervous system (CNS), orofacial and maxillofacial development is unknown.
Methods: Through a collaborative work, exome survey was performed in families with congenital CNS, orofacial and maxillofacial anomalies.
