The transition to parenthood brings about changes in new parents' lives that may impact the attachment system. We examined how new mothers' internal, social and relational, and infant factors shaped initial levels and trajectories of attachment avoidance and anxiety from pregnancy through 2 years postpartum. Using a sample of 259 first-time mothers, we found that both attachment styles were relatively stable over time. Remembered supportive parenting experiences and relationship satisfaction...

BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease; the course of illness is interspersed with disease flares, infections, adverse drug events which may at times warrant intensive care admission. Reasons for admission and mortality predictors in intensive care units (ICUs) differ globally. This study offers a regional perspective by examining these factors in an Indian context.MethodsThis is a single centre ambispective observational study from a tertiary care hospital...

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...
