Objectives: To assess the geographical equity in Ethiopian infants' exclusive breastfeeding at 5 months and dietary diversity at 12 months and whether social factors explained the spatial inequities.
Design: Secondary analysis of a birth cohort study.
Setting: Analysis of data from the Ethiopian Performance Monitoring for Action panel study conducted from July 2020 to August 2021 in five regions (ie, Oromia, Amhara, Afar and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples regions and the Addis Ababa City administration).

- * The Cardiac Health in Breast Cancer study aims to evaluate how a structured exercise program impacts cardiac health in 48 females undergoing cardiotoxic cancer therapies.
- * Participants will be divided into an intervention group receiving high-intensity training and a control group following general activity guidelines, with a focus on measuring changes in cardiac function and overall well-being over 12 months.
Background/objectives: Myocardial involvement has been observed in athletes following SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is unclear if these changes are due to myocardial damage per se or to an interruption in training. The aim of this study was to assess cardiac function and structure in elite athletes before and after infection (INFAt) and compare them to a group of healthy controls (CON).

- * A study analyzed S. pneumoniae isolates from 2007 to 2021, identifying a notable trend where serotype 3 isolates, particularly ST180, showed increasing phenotypic and genetic resistance to antibiotics over the years.
- * The findings suggest the need for enhanced prevention strategies and possibly new vaccines targeting S. pneumoniae serotype 3, as the prevalence of resistant strains continues to rise in Canada.
