Breastfeeding Journeys: Comparing Mothers' Experiences with Autistic and Neurotypical Infants.

Breastfeeding is a complex task that requires proficiency at several key developmental skills to feed successfully. It is unclear how Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects an infant's breastfeeding experience and conflicting reports exist on shortened breastfeeding duration in infants later diagnosed with ASD. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of mothers breastfeeding both their autistic and neurotypical children to better understand the differences in their breastfeeding experiences and maternal and infant factors that contributed to breastfeeding cessation in their autistic child.

Immune Profile and MRI-Detected Cardiac Fibrosis and Edema in Hypertensive and Non-Hypertensive Patients with COVID-19.

Cardiac involvement in 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) survivors has been reported frequently. An exacerbated immune response may be the main mechanism of myocardial injury and late cardiac sequelae in this population. We investigated the immune profile in hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients with COVID-19 who developed late cardiac fibrosis and edema, as detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Comprehensive determination of highly symmetric transition metal dichalcogenide multilayers.

This study expands the JAM notation to systematically explore stacking configurations of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) multilayers, covering both conventional and Janus structures. We extended JAM to represent four TMDC types: 1H, 1T, Janus 1H, and Janus 1T, adding characters to describe these structures. Additionally, we updated the JAM algorithm to generate stacking configurations and produce VASP-compatible POSCAR files.
