Psychosocial aftercare (PAC) offered for 6 months after IIPT can improve treatment outcomes for up to 12 months.
Objectives: The current study is the first to explore whether PAC is superior to treatment as usual at a long-term follow-up of 18 to 33 months after discharge-including when facing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Background/objectives: Patients with life-limiting conditions (LLCs) often suffer from restlessness, spasticity, pain, and seizures.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of DRB.

- Chemical pollution poses a serious risk to children's development globally, with maternal exposure to toxic substances affecting fetal growth and health.
- Certain persistent organic chemicals have been linked to pregnancy complications and negative neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, while the effects of substances like phthalates and bisphenols are less clear.
- The findings underscore the urgent need for regulations on emerging pollutants that are prevalent in our environment and may harm both fetal development and childhood well-being.
