X chromosome-wide association studies (XWAS) have identified susceptibility variants for various neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases. The unique characteristics of the chromosome require more complex analytical approaches than standard genome-wide association studies. Over the past 2 decades, refined XWAS methods have better accounted for this biology. Given that many neurological diseases show sex-biased prevalence, XWAS offers a valuable framework for investigating sex-specific genetic contributions. This review summarizes published neurological XWAS ( = 10), highlighting methodological approaches. Despite the challenges of genetic analyses for the X chromosome, XWAS remains a key approach for studying its role in disease mechanisms.

Scrub typhus, caused by , is a zoonotic infection endemic to the Asia-Pacific region. Its severity ranges from mild illness to life-threatening complications and case fatality rate upto 30%, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis. This study analyzed the clinical profile and pregnancy outcomes of 34 pregnant women diagnosed with scrub typhus at a tertiary care and referral centre.

Illegitimate tasks are tasks that are perceived as unnecessary or unreasonable. They act as stressors and are expected to induce various strains on employees, including motivational strains. In previous studies, only the association between illegitimate tasks and intrinsic motivation was examined.
