Background: With the population ageing, more victims of community crime are likely to be older adults. The psychological impact of crime on older victims is significant and sustained, but only feasibility trials have been published regarding potential interventions. The integration of public health and care services and cross-agency working is recommended, but there is little information on how this should be undertaken.

Atopic diseases affect children's daily life and routines but the knowledge about impacts on participation is limited. (2) Objectives: a.

- Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies are genetic disorders with severe myelin deficiency, resulting in developmental delays, nystagmus, hypotonia, spasticity, and ataxia.
- Variants in the HSP60 chaperonin protein have been linked to various neurological disorders, and recent findings highlight a group of patients with new heterozygous variants related to a unique hypomyelinating disorder.
- Clinical evaluations and genetic assays in a study of three patients showed early symptoms of nystagmus and hypotonia that progressed to spasticity, confirming that defective chaperonin assembly likely contributes to these disorders.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of vasopressin versus other vasopressors (like norepinephrine and epinephrine) on kidney outcomes in children and young adults undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
- Data was analyzed from a multicenter cohort including 1,016 patients under 25 years in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) over nearly seven years.
- Results show that vasopressin use is linked to higher risks of major adverse kidney events (MAKE-90), especially when started later in the CRRT process, indicating potential negative effects on kidney health.
Transparent photovoltaics are garnering significant interest for power generation in applications where light transmission is required. Metal halide perovskites have emerged as one of the most lucrative material classes for such device architectures due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties, and compositional versatility enabling a wide range of transparency levels. While research has primarily focused on semitransparent solar cell architectures, their colored appearance, and efficiency limitations hinder their practical applicability.
