Objective: To predict birth weight at various potential gestational ages of delivery based on data routinely available at the first antenatal visit.
Design: Individual participant data meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Individual participant data of four cohorts (237 228 pregnancies) from the International Prediction of Pregnancy Complications (IPPIC) network dataset.
Background: World Health Organization proposed 7 warning signs to identify the risk of severe dengue in 2009. This study aimed to evaluate the value of these warning signs in detecting severe dengue in children.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted utilizing data of children with clinical dengue infection obtained from medical records between January 2009 and December 2018 in Jakarta.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Jakarta examined the impact of traffic-related air pollution on infant infections during their first six months of life, involving 298 mother-infant pairs from March 2016 to September 2020.
- The results indicated that higher levels of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NO) were associated with an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), particularly noting a significant relationship with soot exposure between 4-6 months of age.
- While URTIs were common (35.6%), lower respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections were less frequent, suggesting a need for further exploration of air pollution's total impact on infant health.
A novel characterization method to measure the pulse duration of ultrafast near-IR pulses is introduced, which uses simple tabletop optics, is relatively inexpensive, and is expected to work in a broad wavelength range. Our diagnostic tool quantitatively characterizes the laser pulse duration of any near-IR wavelength assuming a Gaussian pulse shape with a linear chirp. We negatively prechirp near-IR pulses with a home-built broadband pulse compressor (BPC) and send this prechirped beam through a cell filled with a low-molar solution of a fluorescent dye in a liquid.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between common, non-hospitalised infections, antibiotic exposure, and preclinical vascular phenotypes in young children.
