Aim: Parents' perspectives on their child's obesity (BMI >IOTF-30) management are essential to ensure positive outcomes. This study explored parents' experiences in managing their children's obesity and investigated the sociocultural and environmental factors influencing such management on Reunion Island, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean.
Methods: This qualitative study used a general inductive analysis approach.
Solid-state ionic conduction is significantly influenced by bottleneck sizes, which impede ion diffusion within solid lattices. Using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and multislice electron ptychography, we directly observed that increased La occupancy in the perovskite solid electrolyte LiLaTiO correlates with reduced bottleneck sizes formed by four oxygen atoms connecting neighboring A-site cages. This correlation was also confirmed in local aperiodic regions, where smaller bottleneck sizes due to increased La occupancies affect the directionality and dimensionality of the Li ion conductivity.

- * A study involving 21 patients revealed five key themes: understanding the diagnosis, personal treatment decisions, patient involvement in choices, reassurance from HFUS, and overall patient satisfaction with the surgical approach.
- * Most patients preferred the one-step surgery for its efficiency and the reduced number of interventions, highlighting the need for patient-centered care in medical decision-making processes.
Article Synopsis
- Skin cancer rates in Canada are increasing rapidly, with 1 in 3 Canadians at risk, highlighting the urgent need for better understanding of risky sun exposure behaviors.* -
- A study in Manitoba revealed significant deficiencies in sun protection habits, with over 65% of participants reporting sunburns and more than 50% having used tanning beds, coupled with misconceptions about tanning benefits.* -
- The findings indicate a critical lack of awareness and protective actions among different demographic groups, underscoring the need for improved public health messaging to combat rising skin cancer rates.*
Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a significant contributor to skin cancer-related mortality globally and in Canada. Despite the well-established link between ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and skin cancer risk, there remains a gap in population-level interventions and persistent misconceptions about sun exposure and impact of environment on individual behavior.
Objective: The current study provides an ecological analysis using latest available data (2011-2017) to define geographic/environmental contributors to the CM landscape in Canada.
