Relationships between screen time and childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a Mendelian randomization study.

Background: In previous observational studies and meta-analyses, childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is found to have a significant association with screen time. However, the causal associations between them remain unclear.

Method: This study performed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to confirm the causality between screen time and childhood ADHD.

Few-shot learning based oral cancer diagnosis using a dual feature extractor prototypical network.

A large global health issue is cancer, wherein early diagnosis and treatment have proven to be life-saving. This holds true for oral cancer, thus emphasizing the significance of timely intervention. Deep learning techniques have gained traction in early cancer detection, exhibiting promising outcomes in accurate diagnosis.

A review on synthesis and antibacterial potential of bio-selenium nanoparticles in the food industry.

Effective control of foodborne pathogen contamination is a significant challenge to the food industry, but the development of new antibacterial nanotechnologies offers new opportunities. Notably, selenium nanoparticles have been extensively studied and successfully applied in various food fields. Selenium nanoparticles act as food antibacterial agents with a number of benefits, including selenium as an essential trace element in food, prevention of drug resistance induction in foodborne pathogens, and improvement of shelf life and food storage conditions.

Association of hypothyroidism during pregnancy with preconception and early pregnancy exposure to ambient particulate matter.

Background: Limited research has been conducted on the association between preconception exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and hypothyroidism. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preconception PM exposure and hypothyroidism.

Methods: A retrospective case-control study at China-Japan Friendship Hospital was performed.
