The road to excellence in women's football: a retrospective cohort study over the last 30 years with Swiss national players.

Objectives: This study examines the training (age at club entry, hours in club practice, free play, other sports) and environmental characteristics (popularity, media coverage, school and parental support) influencing the development of female Swiss national team players in elite football over a three-decade period.

Methods: A retrospective questionnaire was completed by 84 participants, who were divided into three cohorts based on their first game with the Swiss national team (C1 = until 2000, n = 24; C2 = 2001-2010, n = 29; C3 = 2011-2022, n = 31). ANOVAs were employed to compare the cohorts regarding training and environmental variables.

Twenty-four-hour ambulatory, but not clinic blood pressure associates with leptin in young adults with overweight or obesity: The African-PREDICT study.

Hypertension and obesity are known pro-inflammatory conditions, and limited studies explored various blood pressure modalities and inflammatory markers in young adults with overweight or obesity (OW/OB). We assessed the relationship of clinic and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure with an array of inflammatory markers in young adults with OW/OB. This cross-sectional study included women and men of Black and White ethnicity (n = 1194) with a median age of 24.

Caregivers' nutrition-related knowledge, perceptions, practices and barriers regarding the therapeutic diet for classical galactosaemia.

Background: Classical galactosaemia is a life-threatening disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, and the primary treatment is a lifelong galactose-restricted diet commenced in infancy. Adherence to restrictive diets can be burdensome for patients and their families; however, little is known about the impact on caregivers.

Aim: This study aims to determine the nutrition-related knowledge, perceptions, practices, and barriers of caregivers related to the therapeutic diet for classical galactosaemia.

The inflammatory score and cardiovascular risk in young adults with overweight or obesity: The African-PREDICT study.

Objectives: A complex relationship of adipokines and cytokines with cardiovascular risk motivates the use of an integrated approach to identify early signs of adiposity-related inflammation. We compared the inflammatory profiles, including an integrated inflammatory score, and cardiovascular profiles of young adults who are living with overweight and/or obesity (OW/OB).

Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1194 men and women with a median age of 24.

Impact of a multi-strain probiotic administration on peri-rectal colonization with drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria in preterm neonates.

Background: Infections caused by drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (DR-GNB) are a major health concern for hospitalized preterm neonates, globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a multi-strain probiotic on the incidence of rectal colonization with DR-GNB in preterm neonates.

Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted including 200 neonates, randomly allocated to a multi-strain probiotic ( = 100) or placebo ( = 100).
