Psychometric testing of the caring for the caregiver survey for healthcare providers.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the factorial structure and model fit of the Caring for the Caregiver Scale.

Background: Caregiving is an all-encompassing role that results in negative health consequences. Healthcare providers require specific knowledge and clinical skills to support caregivers with health promotion.

Pediatric Providers' Perceptions of Their Role in the Early Detection of Postpartum Depression.

Objective: To explore pediatric health care providers' perceptions of their role in screening mothers for postpartum depression (PPD).

Design: Descriptive, qualitative methodology.

Setting: Pediatric care providers from five different institutions in the Chicago metropolitan area.

CXCR2 immunomodulatory therapy protects against microstructural white matter injury and gait abnormalities but does not mitigate deficits of cognition in a preclinical model of cerebral palsy.

Minimizing central nervous system (CNS) injury from preterm birth depends upon understanding the critical pathways that underlie essential neurodevelopmental and CNS pathophysiology. Signaling by chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) through its cognate receptor, CXCR2 [(C-X-C motif) receptor 2] is essential for neurodevelopment. Increased CXCR2 signaling, however, is implicated in a variety of uterine and neuropathologies, and their role in the CNS injury associated with perinatal brain injury is poorly defined.

Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of a First-in-Class ClC-1 Inhibitor to Enhance Muscle Excitability: Phase I Randomized Controlled Trial.

NMD670 is a first-in-class inhibitor of skeletal muscle-specific chloride channel ClC-1, developed to improve muscle weakness and fatigue in neuromuscular diseases. Preclinical studies show that ClC-1 inhibition enhances muscle excitability, improving muscle contractility and strength. We describe the first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses of NMD670 in healthy male and female subjects.

Association of 'weekend warrior' and other leisure time physical activity patterns with obesity and adiposity: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To investigate the effect of different physical activity patterns on obesity.

Materials And Methods: Data from adults aged 17-79 years were extracted from the Hong Kong Territory-Wide Physical Fitness Survey conducted in 2011-2012 and 2021-2022. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) patterns were collected through questionnaires and categorized as inactive (no MVPA ≥10 min), insufficiently active (<150 min MVPA/week), weekend warriors (≥150 min MVPA/week from 1 to 2 days) and regularly active (≥150 min MVPA/week from ≥3 days).
