Background: While the perinatal period is a vulnerable time for women and their infants, it is also a window to promote adjustment and support. Women with intellectual disability might be a uniquely vulnerable group owing to pre-existing health and care inequalities. The aim of this paper is to explore the pregnancy and postnatal outcomes of women with intellectual disability and the health and development of their infants.

The timely and precise diagnosis of CMD-related myocardial ischemia is essential for improving patient prognosis. This study describes a method for the multimodal (fluorescence, ultrasonic, and photoacoustic) noninvasive imaging and treatment of CMD based on ischemic myocardium-targeting peptide (IMTP)-guided nanobubbles functionalized with indocyanine green (IMTP/ICG NBs) and characterizes their basic characteristics and in vitro imaging and targeting abilities.

Cordycepin, known for its tumor-suppressive and antiviral properties, has garnered attention due to its therapeutic and biological potential. Current Cordyceps militaris - based cordycepin production methods involve time-consuming and cost-intensive solid-state fermentation. Using an internet of things (IoT) architecture, we developed an active air-feed regulation fermentation system (AAFRFS) to detect CO2 emitted during C.
