Background: Although preterm birth is associated with deficits in both motor and cognitive functioning, the association between early motor skills and cognitive outcomes at a later age remains underexplored.
Aim: To evaluate associations between motor skills at age 5.5 and cognitive functioning at age 8.
Article Synopsis
- Halong Bay in northern Vietnam is experiencing significant environmental impact from human activities, specifically from metals and metalloids used as indicators for tracing anthropogenic contributions.
- Two sediment cores, one from coastal waters and another from a small isolated lake, revealed that the coastal site (HL) had a much higher accumulation rate than the lake site (HT).
- Key findings indicate that the coastal waters are heavily influenced by the Red River drainage, with particular historical pollution spikes linked to significant events like the Indochina War and various regional flooding incidents.

Certified reference material (CRM) for natural (K,Pb,Po,Ra,Ra,Th,Th,Th,U,U, andU) and anthropogenic (Cs,Pu, andAm) radionuclides in marine sediment from the Baltic Sea (IAEA-465) has been developed. Information values are given for Pu,Pu andPu. Altogether 27 laboratories participated in this exercise.

Design: Controlled experiment.
Methods: Twenty competitive swimmers performed four maximal incremental exercise tests: cycling, arm cranking, ergometer swimming, and tethered swimming.
Objective: After lowering the Dutch threshold for active treatment from 25 to 24 completed weeks' gestation, survival to discharge increased by 10% in extremely preterm live born infants. Now that this guideline has been implemented, an accurate description of neurodevelopmental outcome at school age is needed.
Design: Population-based cohort study.
