This study examined whether police involvement in intimate partner violence (IPV) incidents is associated with victims' socio-emotional problems, and emotional and physical toll symptoms for 1 month or longer post-victimization. Data from the 2010-2019 National Crime Victimization Survey suggest that police investigational effort, later contact with the police, suffering severe injury during victimization, and repeated victimization were positively associated with experiencing socio-emotional problems. Later contact with police and severe injury were positively associated with both emotional and physical toll symptoms, while the female sex was positively associated with emotional toll symptoms. The arrest of the abuser was negatively associated with physical toll symptoms. Findings highlight the need for policies and practices in response to IPV that consider the diverse needs of survivors of partner abuse to help reduce IPV-related trauma.

The global number of COVID-19 deaths has reached 7 million, with 4% of these deaths occurring in children and adolescents. In Brazil, around 1500 children up to 11 years old died from the disease. The most common symptoms in children are respiratory, potentially progressing to severe illnesses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and MIS-C.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need to better understand their molecular mechanisms to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This study investigated differential gene expression profiles and key biological processes in COPD exacerbations categorized based on sputum microbiome profiling. An observational study was performed on a cohort of 16 COPD patients, who provided blood and sputum samples during exacerbations, along with five stable-state samples as controls.

Identification of Immune Infiltration-Associated CC Motif Chemokine Ligands as Biomarkers and Targets for Colorectal Cancer Prevention and Immunotherapy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally, with limited effective biomarkers and sensitive therapeutic targets. An increasing number of studies have highlighted the critical role of tumor microenvironment (TME) imbalances, particularly immune escape due to impaired chemokine-mediated trafficking, in tumorigenesis and progression. Notably, CC chemokines (CCLs) have been shown to either promote or inhibit angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune responses in tumors, thereby influencing cancer development and patient outcomes.

Likes, Shares, and Symptoms: The Hidden Toll of Early Adolescents' Social Media Use on Well-Being.

Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA), School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University, P.O. Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Social media use has rapidly increased over the past decade, especially among young people. To obtain more insight into the potential negative associations with problematic social media use in Dutch early adolescents, we assessed its relation to self-reported well-being. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 585 students in their final year of primary school (11-12 years old) who completed a questionnaire during school hours.

An essential role for TASL in mouse autoimmune pathogenesis and Toll-like receptor signaling.

Nat Commun

Amgen Research, Amgen Inc., 720 Gateway Blvd, South San Francisco, CA, 94080, USA.

TASL is an immune adaptor that binds to the solute carrier SLC15A4 and facilitates activation of the transcription factor IRF5 during Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Similar to IRF5 and SLC15A4, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within TASL have been implicated in increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in patients. However, the biological function of TASL in vivo and how SLE-associated SNPs increase disease risk is unknown.
