Background: Poverty is a key social determinant of mental health among forcibly displaced persons. This study aimed to design and pilot test a strategy to integrate existing mental health and economic inclusion interventions for displaced families in Ecuador.
Methods: We conducted a series of qualitative interviews (n = 30), focus groups (n = 6), and workshops (n = 3) to develop a set of strategies for integrating cross-cutting and focused mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) strategies into an existing economic inclusion program for displaced families in Quito.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the Magellan Subantarctic ecoregion, highlighting how accelerated glacial ice melt creates unique environmental conditions that impact marine biodiversity and epiphytic microalgal communities.
- - Researchers analyzed epiphytic microalgal assemblages on various benthic macroalgae across sites with different glacial and oceanic influences, documenting 67 genera and noting significant variations in diversity based on environmental factors.
- - Findings revealed that environmental gradients, particularly from glacial influence, are the primary drivers of epiphytic variation, with some potentially harmful microalgae identified, contributing to a better understanding of this complex ecosystem in light of climate change.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the physiological changes in laying hens related to calcium and phosphorus utilization for eggshell formation, specifically looking at the effects of a diet supplemented with 1α-hydroxycholecalciferol (AlphaD3).
- It was found that as hens aged from 18 to 31 weeks, there were significant changes in hormone sensitivity and gene expression linked to calcium and phosphorus regulation, indicating the kidney's increased role in vitamin D processing and bone health during egg production.
- The results showed that hens on the AlphaD3 diet had improved bone quality, with higher mineral density in the humerus and tibia compared to those on a control diet, highlighting the dietary impact on skeletal health
Background: Hypoxemia is a relatively common complication in stable patients during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). To prevent this complication, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been described as an alternative to standard oxygen therapy. However, the advantages of HFNC over standard oxygen therapy in acute care patients receiving supplemental oxygen before FOB performed with an oral approach are unknown.

Objective: To describe the clinical course, management, and outcomes of all EC cases treated at a children's hospital.
