Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is constantly and rapidly evolving and has the potential to benefit occupational therapy (OT) and OT clients. However, AI developments also pose risks and challenges, for example in relation to the ethical principles of OT. One way to support future AI technology aligned with OT ethical principles may be through human-centered AI (HCAI), an emerging branch within AI research and developments with a notable overlap of OT values and beliefs.

- The study highlights the crucial role of maternal nutrition and eating disorders in fetal development, suggesting they may increase the risk of psychiatric disorders in children.
- By analyzing data from Finnish national registers on births from 2004 to 2014, the researchers investigated links between maternal body mass index (BMI) and eating disorders with psychiatric diagnoses in offspring.
- Findings revealed that a significant number of mothers had eating disorders or were classified as underweight or overweight/obese, which correlated with a higher prevalence of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric issues in children.
Cerebrovascular injuries leading to edema and hemorrhage after ischemic stroke are common. The mechanisms underlying these events and how they are connected to known risk factors for poor outcome, like obesity and diabetes, is relatively unknown. Herein we demonstrate that increased adipose tissue lipolysis is a dominating risk factor for the development of a compromised cerebrovasculature in ischemic stroke.

Article Synopsis
- Breastfeeding is very important for health, but not many people in Denmark are breastfeeding enough, especially among different social groups.
- A program called 'Breastfeeding - a good start together' was created to help more moms breastfeed longer and was tested in 21 areas in Denmark.
- The program went well, and health visitors and mothers liked it, but there were some challenges like changes in staff and the personal situations of the moms that affected how well it worked.
Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses a project in Denmark aimed at improving breastfeeding rates, as only 14% of mothers achieve the World Health Organization's exclusive breastfeeding recommendation at six months, despite high initiation rates and significant social inequity.
- - An iterative, three-stage framework was used to develop a municipal-based intervention over 15 months in 2020-21, involving need assessments, stakeholder consultations, co-production with parents and health visitors, and prototyping.
- - The intervention’s development focused on identifying the needs of the target groups and enhancing motivation and ownership among participants, ultimately testing its feasibility and usefulness through ongoing dialogues during the implementation phase.
