Association Between Maternal Lead Exposure from Seafood Consumption and Neurodevelopment: A Systematic Review.

Background: Despite the essential nutrients, maternal seafood consumption during pregnancy or lactation (PL) is also a potential source of toxins, including lead (Pb). The association between exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment is uncertain.

Objective: This systematic review assessed the association of exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment.

ASRA Pain Medicine consensus practice infection control guidelines for regional anesthesia and pain medicine.

Background: To provide recommendations on risk mitigation, diagnosis and treatment of infectious complications associated with the practice of regional anesthesia, acute and chronic pain management.

Methods: Following board approval, in 2020 the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA Pain Medicine) commissioned evidence-based guidelines for best practices for infection control. More than 80 research questions were developed and literature searches undertaken by assigned working groups comprising four to five members.

Profiles and predictors of child neurodevelopment and anthropometry: The maternal-infant research on environmental chemicals study.

Background: Evaluating individual health outcomes does not capture co-morbidities children experience.

Purpose: We aimed to describe profiles of child neurodevelopment and anthropometry and identify their predictors.

Methods: Using data from 501 mother-child pairs (age 3-years) in the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study, a prospective cohort study, we developed phenotypic profiles by applying latent profile analysis to twelve neurodevelopmental and anthropometric traits.

Artificial intelligence in food and nutrition evidence: The challenges and opportunities.

Science-informed decisions are best guided by the objective synthesis of the totality of evidence around a particular question and assessing its trustworthiness through systematic processes. However, there are major barriers and challenges that limit science-informed food and nutrition policy, practice, and guidance. First, insufficient evidence, primarily due to acquisition cost of generating high-quality data, and the complexity of the diet-disease relationship.

Seafood Toxicant Exposure During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Childhood and Child Outcomes: A Scoping Review.

Determining dietary recommendations for seafood consumed during pregnancy, lactation, and childhood requires consideration of the known nutritional benefits and potential harm due to toxicant exposure as they relate to child outcomes. This study aimed to describe the scope of the evidence associated with seafood-related toxicant exposure and child outcomes and to identify toxicant-outcome pairs that may have sufficient evidence to conduct a systematic review. We included studies examining seafood toxicant exposure during pregnancy, lactation, and childhood, and child outcomes.
