This study explores sex differences in the relationship between childhood cyberbullying victimization (CCBV) and young adult sexual assault experiences and the potential moderating roles of childhood parent monitoring and deviant peer association on the relationship. A total of 356 college students aged 19-25 in the US participated in the online survey. The results indicated that CCBV was associated with an increased risk of college sexual assault victimization for both males and females. A...

HYPOTHESIS: The wettability of colloidal particles alters the balance between capillary attraction and electrostatic repulsion at the oil-water interface, leading to distinct microstructures and impacting how particle-laden interfaces respond to applied stresses.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), both atherosclerosis-related and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) linked to cardiac fibrosis, contributes to morbidity and mortality in people with HIV (PWH) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). In the REPRIEVE trial, pitavastatin reduces atherosclerotic CVD risk to a magnitude inconsistent with pitavastatin's impact solely on LDL-cholesterol and inflammation. We hypothesized that HFpEF in PWH is related to HIV-induced fibrosis mediated by...

It is widely accepted that tinnitus arises from maladaptive neuroplasticity in the central auditory system, which compensates for reduced peripheral input; notably, the loss of inner hair cell (IHC) synapses is considered a key underlying factor. IHC synapses can immediately and permanently degenerate after noise exposure, independent of hair cell loss, whereas the cell bodies and central projections of cochlear neurons can survive for months to years, providing an extended therapeutic window...
