Caregiver Report of Adverse Childhood Events: Comparison of Self-Administered and Telephone Questionnaires.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic experiences that increase people's susceptibility to adverse physical health, mental health, and social consequences in adulthood. Screening for ACEs in primary care settings is complicated by a lack of consensus on appropriate methods for identifying exposure to ACEs. It is unclear whether self-report methods could increase disclosure of ACEs as compared to interview-based methods.

Newborn and infant hearing screening for early detection of hearing loss in Nairobi, Kenya.

Background: Early detection of hearing loss and subsequent intervention leads to better speech, language and educational outcomes giving way to improved social economic prospects in adult life. This can be achieved through establishing newborn and infant hearing screening programs.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of hearing loss in newborns and infants in Nairobi, Kenya.

Targeted remodeling of the human gut microbiome using Juemingzi ( seed extracts).

The genus contains globally distributed plant species of which the leaves, roots, and seeds have multiple traditional medicinal and nutritional uses. Notable chemical compounds derived from spp. include sennosides and emodin which have been tested for antimicrobial effects in addition to their known laxative functions.

Tomato seed extract promotes health of the gut microbiota and demonstrates a potential new way to valorize tomato waste.

The current effort to valorize waste byproducts to increase sustainability and reduce agricultural loss has stimulated interest in potential utilization of waste components as health-promoting supplements. Tomato seeds are often discarded in tomato pomace, a byproduct of tomato processing, yet these seeds are known to contain an array of compounds with biological activity and prebiotic potential. Here, extract from tomato seeds (TSE), acquired from pomace, was evaluated for their ability to effect changes on the gut microbiota using an ex vivo strategy.

Metagenomes and metagenome-assembled genomes from fecal incubations of six unique donors.

We present a donor-specific collection of 78 metagenomes (13/donor) and 143 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), representing the gut microbiomes of six healthy adult human donors. In addition to adding to the catalog of publicly available human gut MAGs, this resource permits a genome-resolved look into microbial co-occurrence across six individuals.
