This literature review examines, from a nursing perspective, factors influencing the formation and maintenance of therapeutic relationships in forensic mental health settings. METHODS A systematic search of the literature, using a range of electronic databases, focusing on nurse-patient therapeutic relationships in forensic settings was conducted. Articles were Critical Appraisal Skills Programme quality appraised, followed by a meta-aggregative thematic approach to data analysis and synthesis to identify themes and, finally, a production of an "action" policy statement. FINDINGS AND IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE Eight articles met the criteria for review inclusion. Nine themes were identified; seven were categorized as internal/interpersonal factors, and two were categorized as external/environmental factors (with some themes interconnected). Synthesis of findings resulted in the production of a policy statement encouraging forensic mental health nurses to be aware of intrapersonal influences on therapeutic relationships and the need to provide a safe and supportive clinical environment for these relationships to form.Estrogenic deficiency is considered a risk for coronary disease in women. The phytoestrogen genistein could be a safe preventive strategy. The first aim of this work was to validate a model of cardiac stunning in which natural estrogenic deficiency rats, i.e adult young male (YM) and aged female (AgF), are compared to young female rats (YF). The second aim was to study whether the in vivo administration of genistein prevents the stunning in estrogenic deficiency rats. The third aim was to evaluate if in our estrogenic deficiency model exists a synergy between genistein and estradiol. The fourth aim was to characterize the under
