Background: Eating behavior is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors from early infancy, shaping an individual's relationship with food. Tools such as the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) were designed to evaluate these patterns in children and facilitate the early identification of potential issues.

Objective: The objective of this study is to validate the CEBQ for use in Brazilian children and adolescents.

Epidemiological evidence has demonstrated associations between sleep and epilepsy, but we lack a mechanistic understanding of these associations. If sleep affects the pathophysiology of epilepsy and the risk of seizures, as suggested by correlative evidence, then understanding these effects could provide crucial insight into the basic mechanisms that underlie the development of epilepsy and the generation of seizures. In this Review, we provide in-depth discussion of the associations between epilepsy and sleep at the cellular, network and system levels and consider the mechanistic underpinnings of these associations.

We report two three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks constructed from Fe3+ and the ligand, 2,5-furandicarboxylate (FDC) that can be derived from biomass. One contains an unprecedented infinite-rod-shaped building unit, and the other is the first crystalline framework of FDC that contains solely iron in the metal nodes. The materials are formed as microcrystals and their structures determined using 3D-electron diffraction with the bulk confirmed by powder XRD.

The female mosquito's remarkable ability to hunt humans and transmit pathogens relies on her unique biology. Here, we present the Mosquito Cell Atlas (MCA), a comprehensive single-nucleus RNA sequencing dataset of more than 367,000 nuclei from 19 dissected tissues of adult female and male , providing cellular-level resolution of mosquito biology. We identify novel cell types and expand our understanding of sensory neuron organization of chemoreceptors to all sensory tissues.

Background: In recent years, new broad-spectrum antibiotics targeting Gram-negative organisms have been introduced, including cefiderocol, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, eravacycline, imipenem-relebactam, omadacycline, and meropenem-vaborbactam. This study aimed to describe new antibiotic use across a large national cohort.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of hospital discharges from June 2022 to May 2023 using the Premier Healthcare Database.
