Introduction: Violence against women (VAW) is a persistent global public health problem that runs across all social classes and ethnicities with a considerable negative influence on women's health and behaviour. Early detection, appropriate interventions and multidisciplinary cooperation are crucial factors in tackling gender violence.
Objectives: This note describes "The Violence against women: long-term health effects for precision prevention" transdisciplinary and multicenter project that aims to implement the National Guidelines with two sets of questions: the European Injury Database (EU-IDB) violence module and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) questionnaire for improving innovative approaches to limit the long-term health effect of VAW. Furthermore, the analysis of epigenetic profile in women's DNA may contribute to the knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying PTSD and other non-communicable diseases. Epigenomic research in parallel with rigourous guidelines and social, educational, clinical and community interventions could accomplish innovative precision prevention protocols.
Conclusions: Public health plays essential role in identifying risk factors and strengthening the support for women victims of violence.

Efficacy of Transversus Thoracic Plane Block for Pain Management in Cardiac Surgeries.
Curr Pain Headache Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, Shreveport, LA, 71103, USA.
Purpose Of Review: Effective pain management in cardiac surgery presents as a continuous challenge related to the intensity of postoperative pain and reliance on opioid therapy. The dependance of opioid-based therapies is concerning, as these therapies carry risk future addiction and potential severe side effects. The transversus thoracic plane block (TTPB) has emerged as a promising regional anesthesia technique that blocks the anterior branches of the intercostal nerves in the chest wall, potentially providing improved analgesia for cardiac surgery patients.

School of Nursing, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100144, China.
Background: Self-neglect is a significant global public health issue, compromising the health, safety, and well-being of older adults. Despite extensive research on the prevalence and risk factors of self-neglect, the underlying psychosocial mechanisms remain underexplored. Social isolation and aging attitudes have been identified as important correlates of self-neglect; however, the precise interplay between these variables, particularly the mediating role of aging attitudes, has yet to be fully examined in the context of rural older adults.

Background: Epigenetic modifications have been proved to play important roles in the spinal degenerative diseases. As a type of noncoding RNA, the microRNA (miRNA) is a vital class of regulatory factor in the epigenetic modifications, while the role of miRNAs in the regulation of epigenetic modifications in ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) has not been fully investigated.
Methods: The miRNA sequencing analysis was used to explore the change of miRNA expression during the fibrosis of ligamentum flavum (LF) cells caused by the TGF-β1 (10 ng/ml).

Gastric cancer is a malignant gastrointestinal disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. The occurrence and progression of gastric cancer are influenced by various factors, including the abnormal alternative splicing of key genes. Recently, RBM39 has emerged as a tumor biomarker that regulates alternative splicing in several types of cancer.
