New insights into hair compartments swelling via atomic force microscopy and dynamic vapour sorption.

Objective: Preliminary investigations into the swelling of human hair upon absorbing moisture have been performed to better understand the roles of the various hair morphological subcompartments and their response to moisture.

Methods: The isotherms of moisture sorption exhibited by hair were recorded via Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) for separated cuticle and for cortex. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) imaging and nanoindentation were used to follow the changes in measured distances on the same areas of cuticle layers and cortex cells from a single fibre cross section, and to evaluate the change in these distances with changes in relative humidity.

Prevalence, age-of-onset, and course of mental disorders among 72,288 first-year university students from 18 countries in the World Mental Health International College Student (WMH-ICS) initiative.

Background: The college years are a developmentally sensitive period for mental disorder onset. Reliable epidemiological data are critical for informing public health responses. This study aimed to estimate prevalence and socio-demographic distributions of common DSM-5 mental disorders among first-year university students from 77 universities across 18 countries.

Comprehensive Gait Analysis and Kinetic Intervention for Overweight and Obese Children.

Background/objectives: Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue associated with biomechanical and functional impairments that influence gait and physical performance. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a six-month personalized kinetic program on gait parameters and pelvic kinematics in overweight and obese children.

Methods: The prospective observational study included 100 children aged 8 to 15, divided into a study group (SG, n = 50) and a control group (CG, n = 50).
