Article Abstract
Early life stress (ELS) experiences can cause changes in cognitive and affective functioning. This study examined the persistent effects of a single traumatic event in infancy on several adult behavioral outcomes in male and female C57BL/6J mice. Mice received 15 footshocks in infancy and were tested for stress-enhanced fear learning, extinction learning, discrimination and reversal learning, and novel object recognition. Infant trauma potentiated fear learning in adulthood and produced resistance to extinction but did not influence other behaviors, suggesting restricted effects of infant trauma on behaviors reliant on cortico-amygdala circuitry.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Social buffering may reduce the persistent impacts of acute early life stress (aELS) and, thus, has important implications for anxiety- and trauma-related disorders. First, we assessed whether aELS would induce maladaptive fear incubation in adult mice, a PTSD-like phenotype. Overall, animals showed incubation of fear memory in adulthood, independent of aELS condition.

Adolescent male rodents and humans exhibit impairments in extinguishing learned fear. Here, we investigated whether female adolescent rats exhibit such impairments and if extinction is affected by the estrous cycle as in adults. Following fear conditioning to a discrete cue, female adolescent Sprague Dawley rats were extinguished either around the onset of puberty, when estrous cycling begins, or across different stages of the estrous cycle.

Objective: Children in the Gaza Strip have lived their entire lives with chronic economic and political insecurity punctuated by periodic escalations of overt combat. Clinicians need to learn how children raised in these conditions respond to escalations of threat. This study investigated the prevalence of stress and trauma-related symptoms and functional impairment among young Palestinian children following the May 2021 escalation in Gaza.

With advances in next-generation sequencing technologies, individuals can seek genetic risk information for multiple conditions. However, feasibility and communication challenges could arise if offering multiple genetic tests simultaneously, such as cancer predisposition testing and carrier screening for pregnancy planning. Genetic screening introduces uncertainty from probabilistic results, ambiguous gene-disease associations, and complex variant interpretation, intertwining with psychosocial concerns impacting decision-making and emotional well-being.
