Recursive splice sites are rare motifs postulated to facilitate splicing across massive introns and shape isoform diversity, especially for long, brain-expressed genes. The necessity of this unique mechanism remains unsubstantiated, as does the role of recursive splicing (RS) in human disease. From analyses of rare copy number variants (CNVs) from almost one million individuals, we previously identified large, heterozygous deletions eliminating an RS site (RS1) in the first intron of that conferred substantial risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other neurobehavioral traits.

Introduction: No Money No Time is a culinary nutrition website focused on diet quality improvement. The aim was to compare participant retention in a 6-week eHealth challenge, with and without use of financial incentives and to compare demographic characteristic, diet quality and engagement outcomes between them.

Methods: The single-arm, pre-post studies [Spring Eatz (30 August to 17 September, 2023) and RE$ET (20th February to March, 2024)] recruited adults ≥ 18 years from Australia into a 6-week nutrition challenge delivered via weekly emails that directed participants to the No Money No Time (NMNT) purpose-built culinary and nutrition-related health website from after completing the embedded Healthy Eating Quiz (HEQ) and consenting to data use for research purposes.

Since the early 1990s, coparenting - a conceptual framework connecting clinical insights from structural family therapy to theory and research on development of infants and toddlers within relationship systems - has brought new perspective to family and developmental science while hinting at ramifications for clinical practice. Coparenting theory and research evolved side-by-side with careful, intensive study of mother-father-child triangular relationships in families with very young children, work that expanded in recent years to include studies of other coparent-child triangular systems, such as those involving mothers, grandmothers, and infants. Until now, however, there has been no coordinated expert guidance for bringing concepts expounded in research studies of coparenting and triangular relationships to practitioners who work in infant-family mental health and family therapy contexts.
