Summary: Violence against women is a global public health concern, and there is a high risk of revictimization throughout different stages of life. This study provides qualitative insights into revictimization experiences from childhood to adulthood, highlighting the themes of abuse experiences in childhood and adolescence, mental health and risky coping mechanisms, naming abuse in early adulthood, seeking support in adulthood, and life beyond abuse for survivors.

Summary: Magnesium dietary supplementation can significantly reduce anxiety levels in rats, increase the concentration of magnesium in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, but the anxiolytic effect washes out within 12 days.

Summary: This study investigates the role of endogenous neuromedin U (NMU) in rats and finds that it does not play a significant role in body weight, adiposity, metabolic markers, and other factors in rats, unlike in mice. The study also reveals species-specific expression patterns of NMU and NMU receptor type 2 (Nmur2) in rats, suggesting that NMU may have distinct functions across species.

Summary: The study investigated the use of constant rate infusion of benzodiazepines or propofol in dogs with epilepsy. The medications appeared to be well-tolerated and effective in controlling seizure activity in most patients, regardless of seizure etiology. Further research is needed to assess the effects of CRI duration on outcomes and complications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of duration of anesthetic constant rate infusion (CRI) on outcome and length of hospital stay in dogs with refractory seizure activity of different etiology. There was no statistically significant difference found in outcomes between the experimental group and the control group. Shorter duration of anesthetic CRI did not have a clear superiority on outcome or length of hospital stay in dogs with refractory seizure activity of different etiology.

Summary: The study developed an untargeted metabolomics approach to identify metabolic patterns related to fentanyl exposure by culturing cells and analyzing urine samples. By systematically investigating urine and cell data, a model was established to identify fentanyl users.

Summary: Fully integrated wearable sensors can directly and independently track biomarkers in raw noninvasive biofluids without any other equipment or accessories. We propose the first single universal FIWSAs for wirelessly and noninvasively measuring metabolites and electrolytes in sweat, saliva, or urine. This technology has the potential to enhance the understanding of biomarker levels in the body and facilitate self-health management.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 phenotypes and other pharmacogenes on the pharmacokinetics and safety of diazepam. The results showed that CYP2C19 and CYP2B6 phenotypes are associated with diazepam pharmacokinetics. Dose adjustment may be necessary for individuals with slow metabolism to prevent adverse reactions and dependence.

Summary: This study qualitatively analyzed how parents in a family treatment court intervention revised and performed their parental role while navigating a new recovery role. The results revealed three groups of parents: role enactors, role revisors, and role rejectors, each with varying degrees of role strain and conflict.

Summary: This study investigates the association between motor impulsivity, risk-related impulsive choice, and drug abuse. The results suggest that high levels of motor impulsivity are associated with increased vulnerability to drug use and relapse, while risk-related impulsive choice does not appear to be a significant risk factor for drug abuse.

Summary: A novel approach is proposed to generate individual adaptive reference ranges by simultaneously monitoring multiple biomarkers, improving the detection of testosterone administration. The combination of urine and serum biomarkers reduces the number of false-negatives, highlighting the complementarity between urine and blood sampling in doping control.
