Introduction: In the current digital age, people's use of electronic devices has significantly increased screen time, which may have an impact on different aspects of their lives. Adolescents today are exposed to excessive screen time, which may affect their sleep and contribute to anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between screen time with sleep quality, anxiety and depression, among adolescents in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

- * Out of 43 athletes assessed, 12 were found to have LEA, with significant hormone imbalances such as low levels of estradiol, testosterone, and free triiodothyronine (fT3) being common indicators.
- * The research highlights the need for increased awareness about LEA in sports to promote early detection and intervention, ensuring athletes' well-being and performance.
Article Synopsis
- Oncogenes can become activated through mechanisms like enhancer hijacking and mutations that generate new enhancers or promoters, helping researchers understand variations in noncoding cancer genomes.
- A new mechanism is identified where the loss of an intronic element in the FTO gene causes abnormal expression of the IRX3 oncogene in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
- The study suggests that 'promoter tethering' helps keep oncogenes inactive by linking them to non-functioning parts of the genome, which may act as a safeguard against tumor development.
Background: Neural cell-electrode coupling is crucial for effective neural and retinal prostheses. Enhancing this coupling can be achieved through surface modification and geometrical design to increase neuron-electrode proximity. In the current research, we focused on designing and studying various biomolecules as a method to elicit neural cell-electrode adhesion via cell-specific integrin mechanisms.

However, such studies among Malaysian children are scarce. Thus, this study explores the associations between adiposity, dietary quality, and 25(OH)D, with cardiometabolic risk factors among Malaysian children aged 4-12 years.
