Life satisfaction around the world: Measurement invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups.

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

A study of association between maternal tetanus toxoid immunization and neonatal mortality in the context of Bangladesh.

Background: Maternal tetanus toxoid (MTT) vaccination during pregnancy remains an important factor for reducing infant mortality globally, especially in developing nations, including Bangladesh. Despite commendable progress in reducing child mortality through widespread MTT vaccination during pregnancy, the issue still exists. This analysis explores the impact of MTT vaccination on neonatal mortality in Bangladesh and identifies associated factors.

Efficacy and Safety of Probiotics as Adjunctive Therapy in Cancer Treatment: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: The gut microbiome is crucial in influencing cancer progression and response to treatment. We evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotics and synbiotics in cancer treatment, focusing on the incidence of diarrhea, significant complications, surgical site infections, length of hospital stay, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL up to June 2024.

Anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective potential of Cissus tuberosa ethanol extract in Parkinson's disease model through the modulation of neuroinflammatory markers.

The plant Cissus tuberosa Moc is abundant in phenolics, has been documented to have neuroprotective properties. The study seeks to determine the neuroprotective effects of C. tuberosa ethanolic extract (CTE) against Parkinson's disease by evaluating its impact on motor dysfunction, cognitive deficits, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration in paraquat-induced Parkinson's disease models.

Breaking boundaries: exploring recent advances in anticoagulation and thrombosis management: a comprehensive review.

Background: Thromboembolic disorders globally contribute to morbidity and mortality, emphasizing adequate anticoagulation and thrombosis management. Therapeutic advances are essential in preventing complications like pulmonary embolism, stroke, and myocardial infarction. This review summarizes recent anticoagulation advances, current challenges, future directions, and novel anticoagulants and drug delivery systems on clinical outcomes.
