During this period, Sina Weibo users sought emotional stability and psychological resilience by sharing information and expressing personal opinions. The content generated by users, including text posts, can be analyzed to reveal fluctuations in their emotions and psychological dynamics, thereby providing a valuable reference for assessing their mental health status.

This commentary analyses the state of legal abortion in Brazil over the past decade, contextualising the increasing restrictions and political disputes surrounding the issue within broader anti-gender offensives. While Brazilian law permits abortion only in limited cases - rape, risk to the pregnant person's life, and anencephaly - access to these rights has been consistently undermined, particularly amid the strengthening of far-right political forces. We explore how moral arguments and conservative discourses - often framed through the notion of "gender ideology" - have been mobilised to roll back sexual and reproductive rights, resulting in significant institutional and legislative setbacks, including attempts to criminalise legal abortion practices.

Persistent pain remains a significant global health challenge, with prevailing biomedical and biopsychosocial models often falling short in capturing its full complexity. These models frequently lack conceptual and contextual coherence, overlooking the deeply subjective, cultural, and systemic dimensions of pain. As a result, care can become fragmented and suboptimal.

We uncover a dissociation between leadership preferences (for progress, protection, or maintenance-oriented leaders) and situational requirements (to make progress, protect, or maintain). Despite maintenance being crucial for sustaining groups' ongoing activity, we find a bias favoring progress-oriented leaders across contexts. In six preregistered experiments (Ntotal = 3,324), participants consistently preferred progress-oriented leaders even when they recognized maintenance as the primary situational need.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) often involves autonomic dysfunction, most notably impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which disrupts cardiovascular homeostasis and contributes to orthostatic hypotension (OH). Pharmacological and invasive treatments, including deep brain stimulation, have yielded inconsistent benefits and carry procedural risks, highlighting the need for safer, more accessible alternatives. In this systematic review, we evaluated non-invasive interventions-spanning somatosensory stimulation, exercise modalities, thermal therapies, and positional strategies-aimed at improving cardiovascular autonomic function in PD.
