Assessment of antenatal care quality in Ethiopia: Facility-based study using service provision assessment data.

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) coverage in low- and middle-income countries has increased in the past few decades. However, merely increasing care coverage may not enhance maternal and newborn health unless the recommended service components are also provided. Our aim was to assess the quality of ANC and its associated factors in Ethiopia.

Assessment of healthcare facilities' readiness to provide antenatal care in Ethiopia: facility based study using service provision assessment data.

Background: Readiness of healthcare facilities is essential for delivering quality healthcare services. There is limited evidence on the antenatal care (ANC) readiness of healthcare facilities in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the readiness of ANC services and its influencing factors in Ethiopian healthcare facilities.

Wearable textile sensors for continuous glucose monitoring.

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are interlinked chronic conditions that necessitate continuous and precise monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters to prevent complications. Non-invasive monitoring technologies have garnered significant interest due to their potential to alleviate the current burden of diabetes and cardiovascular disease management. However, these technologies face limitations in accuracy and reliability due to interferences from physiological and environmental factors.

High-Throughput Combinatorial Metal Complex Synthesis.

High-throughput combinatorial metal complex synthesis has emerged as a powerful tool for rapidly generating and screening diverse libraries of metal complexes, enabling accelerated discovery in fields such as catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. By systematically combining building blocks under mild and efficient conditions, researchers can explore broad chemical spaces, increasing the likelihood of identifying complexes with desired properties. This method streamlines hit identification and optimisation, especially when integrated with high-throughput screening and data-driven approaches like machine learning.

Annual Research Review: Micronutrients and their role in the treatment of paediatric mental illness.

The aim of this narrative review is to summarize evidence relating the importance of nutrient intake from diet and supplementation for paediatric mental health. We begin by reviewing several mechanisms by which nutrients maximize brain health, including enabling metabolic reactions to occur, supporting mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation and assisting with detoxification. Circumstances that may contribute to an individual requiring additional nutrients beyond what are available in the diet, such as consumption of nutritionally depleted food, individual differences in biological need, long-term medication use and gut-brain health needs are then reviewed.
