The main aim of this study was to examine the effect of a potential guardian on the severity of child sexual abuse. Using data obtained on crime events from adult child sexual offenders incarcerated in Queensland (Australia), mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the effect of potential guardianship on the severity of abuse. Controlling for victim and situational characteristics, the analyses showed that the presence of a potential guardian reduced the duration of sexual contact and the occurrence of penetration. Presence of a potential guardian decreased the risk of sexual penetration by 86%. The study highlights the importance of the presence of a potential guardian for reducing the severity of child sexual abuse, and suggests more broadly that guardianship may be an important protective factor in sexual offending.

Immune cell infiltration in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) is promising for immunotherapy. However, effective predictive markers to accurately predict a tumour's immune status are lacking. PSMD13, a native component of the 26 S proteasome subunit involved in intracellular metabolism, has an unclear association with cancer and immunity.

Distinguishing between primary adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) within non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours holds significant management implications. We assessed the performance of radiomics-based models in distinguishing primary there is from SCC presenting as lung nodules on Computed Tomography (CT) scans. We studied individuals with histopathologically proven adenocarcinoma or SCC type NSCLC tumours, detected as lung nodules on Chest CT.
