Objectives: To explore the compliance of end-of-life (EOL) care preferences, and the facilitators and barriers of promoting quality of EOL care among older adults.
Design: A scoping review was used to identify key themes in the compliance of EOL care preferences among older adults.
Setting And Participants: Studies published between 2009 and 2020 were identified from the Medline and Cochrane libraries.
Article Synopsis
- Low birth weight in fathers can affect their children's health, making them more likely to have heart and metabolic diseases later in life.
- This study looked at how male baby rats that were born small affect their offspring (the next generation) before the babies are even born.
- The results showed that these small-born male rats have different gene expressions and how they use nutrients, even though their offspring looked normal at first.
Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk for adult disease development with recent studies highlighting transmission to subsequent generations. However, the mechanisms and timing of programming of disease transmission to the next generation remain unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of low birth weight and advanced maternal age on second-generation preimplantation blastocysts.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of intrauterine growth restriction in rats, induced by uteroplacental insufficiency, on cardiac structure, number, size, nuclearity, and adult blood pressure in first (F1) and second (F2) generation male offspring. Uteroplacental insufficiency or sham surgery was induced in F0 Wistar-Kyoto pregnant rats in late gestation giving rise to F1 restricted and control offspring, respectively.
