	Collective trauma: the Vanni narratives International Journal of Mental Health Systems 2010, 4:22 A qualitative inquiry into the psychosocial consequences for the Vanni internationally displaced persons (IDPs) caught in the final war between state forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in northern Sri Lanka in 2009.
	Consent to neurocritical care influenced by outcome Critical Care 2010, 14:R144 Identifying predictors for severe disability after ICU treatment would aid physicians in deciding whether to initiate neurocritical care, as rates of retrospective consent are lowest in patients with a poor functional outcome.
	How parents leave an impression BMC Biology 2010, 8:105 In mammals, CTCF acts as an insulator to maintain parent-specific expression from an imprinted domain. McDonald and colleagues show that Drosophila does it the same way.
	Insulating against silence: CTCF in flies BMC Biology 2010, 8:104 CTCF is necessary for the maintenance of genetic imprinting in mammals. Hou and Corces comment on a report in BMC Biology on the evolutionary conservation of the mechanism in Drosophila.
	Whole proteomes as internal standards in quantitative proteomics Genome Medicine 2010, 2:49 Pooling several proteomes labeled with stable isotopes yields an internal standard that can greatly increase the accuracy of quantitative proteomics.
