Interrelationships between social exclusion, mental health and wellbeing in adolescents: insights from a national .

Aims: Adolescence is a critical developmental phase during which young people are vulnerable to the experiences of mental ill-health and social exclusion (consisting of various domains including education and employment, housing, finances and social supports and relationships). The aims of this study were to (i) obtain an understanding of the relationships between social exclusion, mental health and wellbeing of young people; and (ii) identify potentially modifiable targets, or population groups that require greater or targeted supports.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Mission Australia 2022 , Australia's largest annual population-wide survey of young people aged 15-19 years ( = 18,800).

Anterior chain activation and high intensity gait training to improve walking in an adult with cerebral palsy: a case report.

Background And Purpose: Adults living with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who are non-ambulatory are at increased risk for falls, contractures, reduced bone density, and pain. There is limited evidence for core strength training, anterior chain activation exercises, or high intensity gait training (HIGT) to improve gait function in adults with CP. The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of anterior chain muscle activation and HIGT to improve walking in a non-ambulatory adult male with quadriplegic CP.

Interactions Between High-Intensity Light and Unrestricted Vision in the Drive for Hyperopia.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of optical vs. illuminance factors and their duration-dependency on lens-induced hyperopia (LIH) in chick eyes.

Methods: Hyperopia was induced in one eye in chicks (10 groups; n = 126) from day 1 after hatching until day 8 using +10-diopter lenses with fellow eyes as controls.

Associations of optic nerve head morphology and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness with myopic severity and treatment in children.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between myopic optic disc features and optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness in young myopic children in Singapore.

Methods: A prospective, single-site cohort study was conducted, involving children aged 7-16 years who participated in the PROM-Kids clinical cohort study from 2019 to 2022. Participants underwent annual assessments, including cycloplegic refraction, axial length measurements, fundus photography, and OCT imaging, with ocular magnification correction.

Adult Myopia Progression.

Purpose: To explore evidence for myopic shift between the ages of 20 and 50 years.

Methods: Three usable sets of data with long-term adult refractive progression were identified: (1) US population-based prevalence data for those 18 to 24 years of age in 1971 and 1972 and 45 to 54 years of age from 1999 to 2004; a logit transformation of prevalence values at different refractive error thresholds allowed estimation of myopic progression in this group. (2) German clinical data describing 5- to 10-year progression for different refractive error groupings across 5-year age bands from 20 to 49 years; these were extracted, adjusted, and analyzed.
