Long-Term Change in BMI for Children with Obesity Treated in Family-Centered Lifestyle Interventions.

Introduction: Several evaluations of lifestyle interventions for childhood obesity exist; however, follow-up beyond 2 years is necessary to validate the effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate long-term weight development following children participating in one of two pragmatic family-centered lifestyle interventions treating childhood obesity.

Methods: This real-life observational study included Danish children 4-17 years of age classified as having obesity.

Effect of gestational diabetes on fetal growth rate and later overweight in the offspring.

Context: Children of women with gestational diabetes (GDM) are often born with a higher birthweight and have an increased risk of overweight during childhood. High fetal growth rate is also associated with being overweight in childhood.

Objective: To examine excessive fetal growth rate as a mediator between GDM and overweight in the offspring.

Multiexcitonic and optically bright states in subunits of pentacene crystals: A hybrid DFT/MRCI and molecular mechanics study.

A hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics setup was used to model electronically excited pentacene in the crystal phase. Particularly interesting in the context of singlet fission (SF) is the energetic location of the antiferromagnetically coupled multiexcitonic singlet state, 1(TT), and the ferromagnetically coupled analog in relation to the optically bright singlet state. To provide photophysical properties of the accessible spin manifold, combined density functional theory and multi-reference configuration interaction calculations were performed on pentacene dimers and a trimer, electrostatically embedded in the crystal.

A Window to Life: A Rare Association of a Small, Proximal Aortopulmonary Window With Pulmonary Atresia/Ventricular Septal Defect.

• PA/VSD has always been associated with either a PDA or MAPCAS. • PA/VSD can exist in the absence of a PDA or MAPCAS via a small APW. • PA/VSD with a small APW can be managed successfully with a Blalock-Taussig shunt.
