Article Abstract
The connection between chronic psychological stress and the onset of various diseases, including diabetes, HIV, cancer, and cardiovascular conditions, is well documented. This review synthesizes current research on the neurological, immune, hormonal, and genetic pathways through which stress influences disease progression, affecting multiple body systems: nervous, immune, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, musculoskeletal, and integumentary. Central to this review is an evaluation of 16 Behavioral Stress Reduction Programs (BSRPs) across over 200 studies, assessing their effectiveness in mitigating stress-related health outcomes. While our findings suggest that BSRPs have the potential to enhance the effectiveness of medical therapies and reverse disease progression, the variability in study designs, sample sizes, and methodologies raises questions about the generalizability and robustness of these results. Future research should focus on long-term, large-scale studies with rigorous methodologies to validate the effectiveness of BSRPs.

A robust evaluation of TDP-43, poly GP, cellular pathology and behavior in an AAV-C9ORF72 (GC) mouse model.

The GC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the major genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (C9-ALS/FTD). Despite considerable efforts, the development of mouse models of C9-ALS/FTD useful for therapeutic development has proven challenging due to the intricate interplay of genetic and molecular factors underlying this neurodegenerative disorder, in addition to species differences. This study presents a robust investigation of the cellular pathophysiology and behavioral outcomes in a previously described AAV mouse model of C9-ALS expressing 66 GC hexanucleotide repeats.

Background: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions are effective in reducing subjective stress. Nevertheless, the longitudinal links between mental health indicators are rarely studied in intervention research. Therefore, it is unknown how the intervention effects are sustained.

Background: Despite the recognised links between food insecurity and parenting, few studies have evaluated the perceived impacts of livelihood or food security interventions on parental practices, intra-household functioning, adolescent behaviour and psychosocial outcomes in HIV-affected households in sub-Saharan Africa.
Aims: The study aimed to understand the perceived effects of food security on parenting practices and how this was experienced by both adolescent girls (aged 13-19 years) and their caregivers in rural Kenya.
Method: We conducted semi-structured, individual interviews with 62 caregiver-adolescent dyads who were participants in the adolescent (NCT03741634), a sub-study of adolescent girls and caregivers with a household member participating in the agricultural and finance intervention trial (NCT01548599).

Offshore windfarms (OWFs) constitute a rapidly expanding source of renewable energy that inevitably affects marine biodiversity, especially those built within critical areas for biodiversity conservation. To understand the potential effect of OWFs on bird communities, we systematically tracked bird communities and their behavior within OWFs near the Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of the Yellow Sea in China from 2020 to 2022 using voyage investigations. The results indicated that bird diversity was greater within OWFs than in seawaters away from the OWFs.

Abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, are serious constraints to plant growth and agricultural development. These stresses that plants face in nature are often multiple and complex. Biotin carboxyl carrier protein subunit 2 (BCCP2) is one of the two subunits of biotin carboxyl carrier protein, which is a functional subunit of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, primarily studied for its role in fatty acid synthesis.
