Domestic violence against women is a pervasive issue globally, representing a severe violation of human rights and a significant public health concern. The hidden nature of such violence and its frequent underreporting make it a critical area for research. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence offer new avenues for identifying and predicting instances of domestic violence through machine learning (ML) algorithms. ⋯ The findings of our study demonstrate that ML algorithms have high accuracy rates in determining the frequency and risk factors of domestic violence against women, indicating that they can be used safely.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of childhood adverse experiences on the risk of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PP-PTSD) and postpartum depression (PPD). ⋯ The presence of ACE in mothers was found to increase the risk of developing PPD, both alone and when combined with traumatic birth experience. Therefore, we believe that screening for a history of ACE during pregnancy, investigating traumatic birth experiences in the postpartum period, closer follow-up of mothers with both ACE and traumatic birth experiences and increasing support systems will be beneficial in the prevention and early diagnosis of PPD.

By analyzing the existing data of this study, a prediction tool for the overall breast cancer survival and disease-free survival (DFS) of elderly women was established. ⋯ This study developed novel and practical nomograms for individual prediction of DFS and OS in elderly BC patients. These nomograms can predict 3- and 5-year OS as well as DFS in the elderly BC patient population, thereby enabling personalized risk assessment and risk-based therapy.

Parenting for individuals with visual impairments introduces unique challenges, requiring meticulous planning, attention and care in daily activities and child-rearing. ⋯ The findings highlight the importance of understanding and addressing the postpartum experiences of visually impaired mothers, advocating for more effective support programs tailored to their unique needs.

Older adults in the Emergency Department (ED) often present with nonspecific complaints (NSC) that might be associated with adverse health outcomes due to underestimating the seriousness of the illness by health care workers. ⋯ Elderly patients with a chief complaint of weakness with and without a specific reason for hospitalisation were not at an increased risk for inappropriate treatment or a missed diagnosis.
