Article Abstract
This systematic review and narrative synthesis characterized parents' physiological stress responses to child distress and how parents' physiological and behavioural responses relate. The review was pre-registered with PROSPERO (#CRD42021252852). In total, 3607 unique records were identified through Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. Fifty-five studies reported on parents' physiological stress responses during their young child's (0-3 years) distress and were included in the review. Results were synthesized based on the biological outcome and distress context used and risk of bias was evaluated. Most studies examined cortisol or heart rate variability (HRV). Small to moderate decreases in parents' cortisol levels from baseline to post-stressor were reported across studies. Studies of salivary alpha amylase, electrodermal activity, HRV, and other cardiac outcomes reflected weak or inconsistent physiological responses or a paucity of relevant studies. Among the studies that examined associations between parents' physiological and behavioural responses, stronger associations emerged for insensitive parenting behaviours and during dyadic frustration tasks. Risk of bias was a significant limitation across studies and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Characterization of mutants of the fish pathogen Flavobacterium psychrophilum.

The present study focuses on the phenotypic characterization of several mutants of Flavobacterium psychrophilum, obtained from a transposon mutant library. This Gram-negative bacterium is the etiological agent of the "cold water disease", pathology that usually affects salmonids, mainly Oncorhynchus mykiss. This microorganism is considered a "fastidious bacterium" due to the difficulty to isolate it.

Intra-familial weight stigma is a subtle yet impactful dynamic that may influence the outcomes of family-based interventions aimed at treating childhood obesity. While much attention has been paid to societal and peer-related weight stigma, less focus has been placed on how stigma manifests within families. This position statement highlights the importance of recognising that such stigma can unintentionally arise in the home.

Investigating social and independent behavior structure in early life is critical for understanding development and brain maturation in social mammals. However, this investigation necessitates monitoring animals over weeks to months often with subsecond time resolution creating challenges for both lab studies focused on brief observation periods and field studies in which animal tracking can be imprecise. Here we used machine vision and two-week long continuous behavior recordings of families of gerbils, a highly social rodent, in large, undisturbed home environments to quantify the behavioral development of individual pups.

This case report describes the implementation of Family-Centered Care (FCC) and developmental occupational therapy (OT) for an extremely preterm infant born at 22 weeks and one day of gestation, weighing 448 g. The infant experienced multiple complications, including necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage, and respiratory distress, requiring prolonged intensive care. Due to physiological fragility and immature neurobehavior, a structured rehabilitation approach was introduced, integrating OT and caregiver participation based on FCC principles.
