    Abstract Background: The autistic community have called for an increase in autism research exploring the lifespan experiences of autistic people. Researchers have notably neglected the parenting experiences of autistic adults. We aimed to study the factors that impact the mental health of autistic parents. We also explored the possible influence of childhood trauma.
    Methods: Nine autistic parents took part in remote semi-structured interviews. We used participants' chosen communication modalities during interviews to facilitate accessibility. We carried out data analysis using the principles of Iterative Phenomenological Analysis, a qualitative approach where meaning is co-constructed by both the participant's interpretation of their personal experience and the researcher's subjective interpretation.
    Results: We identified three superordinate themes: Identity and Purpose; Looking Through a Lens of Trauma; and External Factors. Our participants described intimate connections with their children, who were sources of love and joy. Their childhood trauma influenced their parenting experiences. They experienced extreme empathy, perfectionism, and a drive to protect their children from the same trauma. We found that professionals' acceptance and awareness of autism was essential for positive outcomes during interactions with participants. Participants also experienced pervasive sensory overload from their environments, related to a loss of trusted coping mechanisms when they became parents.
    Conclusions: Our study draws attention to the influence of childhood trauma on the parenting experience of autistic adults. We reveal an unexplored long-term impact of childhood trauma resulting from a lack of support and othering of autistic children. Professionals should consider that autistic parents may be parenting through a lens of historical trauma. Professionals should be trained in trauma-informed approaches for providing support. Researchers should investigate this phenomenon to explore how this knowledge can be used to inform practise. Researchers should also investigate wider systemic and societal issues that have an impact on the mental health of autistic parents.

    Abstract This twin family study first aimed to investigate the evidence for genetic factors predicting the risk of lifetime prevalence of non-specific low back pain of at least three months duration (LBP (life)) and one-month current prevalence of thoracolumbar back pain (TLBP (current)) using a study of children, adolescents, and their first-degree relatives. Secondly, the study aimed to identify associations between pain in the back with pain in other regions and also with other conditions of interest. Randomly selected families (

    Abstract Rabies is a highly virulent viral disease that has been associated with large-scale population declines of the endangered African wild dog (Lycaon pictus). Rabies vaccination may be a valuable conservation tool in this species, but studies indicate that a single dose does not always confer protective immunity. We examined 47 serum samples from 22 captive African wild dogs (sampled opportunistically for other purposes) to assess whether serum antibody levels after vaccination correlated with the number of doses received and whether other factors affected outcomes. Results of the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test showed that median antibody titers were 0.085 IU/mL prevaccination, 0.660 IU/mL after a single vaccination, and 22.150 IU/mL after a booster vaccination. Antibody titers above 0.5 IU/mL, internationally accepted as the threshold for seroconversion, were found in none of the samples taken prevaccination, 66.67% of samples taken after primary vaccination, and 90.90% of samples collected after booster vaccination. This study illustrates the probable protective benefit a rabies booster vaccination may provide in African wild dogs and serves as a basis for future research to improve vaccination protocols contributing to the conservation of this endangered species.

    Abstract There is limited information known about how women with pathogenic variants (PV) in moderate penetrance genes make decisions to manage their increased risk of breast cancer. This study analyzed factors that may impact decision-making surrounding management for increased breast cancer risk. Women with a PV in a moderate penetrance gene associated with increased risk for breast cancer were identified from an institutional database. Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted to analyze decision-making factors. Themes were developed using deductive codes based on previous literature and inductive codes based on interviewee responses. The 16 participants (mean age = 55.9 years) included 12 women with a breast cancer diagnosis. Six women (37.5%) chose bilateral mastectomy (BM), and 10 women (62.5%) chose surveillance as management. Of the 12 women with a personal history of breast cancer, four chose to have BM (33.3%). Two women without a personal history of breast cancer chose to have BM (50.0%). Transcriptions revealed seven comprehensive themes, as well as themes unique to affected and unaffected women (Cohen's kappa = 0.80). Physician opinion was the only factor present in all interviews reported to influence risk management decision-making. Several themes were consistent with prior BRCA1/BRCA2 research (family history, risk perception, sibling influence, and physician opinions). Autonomy and insurance/finances were also important factors to participants. There were certain differences in decision-making factors between affected and unaffected women, such as partner influence. Results indicate an opportunity for providers to engage their patients in a decision-making process.

    Abstract Neurosensory disturbance of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is an adverse effect associated with sagittal split osteotomies (SSO). The purpose of this work was to evaluate neurosensory recovery of the IAN when SSOs were performed with piezoelectric (PZ) versus reciprocating (RP) saws. This was a prospective split-mouth study of patients undergoing bilateral SSO using a PZ saw on one side and an RP saw on the other. The primary outcome of interest was neurosensory recovery, as assessed using the functional sensory recovery (FSR) scale defined by the UK Medical Research Council. Descriptive, bivariate, and regression statistics were computed. Twenty patients (40 SSOs) with a mean age of 19.9 ± 3.2 years were included. The mean mandibular movement did not differ significantly (P = 0.50) between the PZ and RP groups. All patients achieved FSR within 1 year of surgery (range 34-249 days). The median time to FSR overall was comparable between the PZ and RP groups (94.5 days and 101.5 days, respectively; P = 0.20). However, at the time FSR was achieved, PZ SSO sites were more likely to have higher neurosensory scores when compared to RP SSO sites (hazard ratio 2.3, 95% confidence interval 1.1-4.9, P = 0.04).

    Abstract Carbon capture and storage technologies are an essential part of EU’s decarbonisation efforts. Combined with sustainable energy resources, they are necessary to move Europe towards a net zero carbon emissions economy. Containment risk evaluation includes analysing natural seismicity patterns in the North Sea, where several Mt-scale CO2 storage projects are being developed. Within the framework of the ACT project SHARP Storage, an extensive unique earthquake bulletin was compiled using seismicity data from all relevant data centres. The bulletin is stored using the IASPEI Seismic Format (ISF). Preliminary processing included duplicate removal and explosion identification. In total, 15,230 events were recorded between years 1382 and 2022, of which 5,408 were identified as likely or potential explosions. For the remaining events, waveforms are currently being collected as a basis for further analysis, including event relocation and magnitude homogenisation. The magnitude of completeness of this data set varies both spatially and temporally. The most seismically active regions in the study area are the Viking and Central grabens. Coastal areas are populated with more events than the central part of the North Sea due to the denser distribution of seismic stations onshore allowing for the detection of smaller (M<3) magnitude events. Moment tensor inversion, shear-wave splitting measurements, and stress drop analysis will be compared to and complement a review of borehole stress measurements to better gauge the present-day stress field. This is crucial for the understanding of the reservoir and caprock response to large-scale CO2 injection over time.

    Abstract The prevalence of food allergies has doubled in the past 10 years. Peanut allergies are a significant public health issue and are the primary reason for food-related anaphylactic reactions that result in death. Evidence supports that early introduction of the peanut protein (or in combination with immunotherapy) to the highly allergic may safely desensitize patients, which could lead to less adverse allergic reactions and alter allergy management overall.
