Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated maternal smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure during pregnancy in relation to ADHD prevalence among children in Saudi Arabia, as previous research on this topic was limited.
  • Out of 217 parents surveyed, 6.4% of mothers smoked during pregnancy and 41% reported SHS exposure, with most children diagnosed with the combined subtype of ADHD.
  • The findings indicated that family income and child gender were influential factors in ADHD subtype distribution, while maternal smoking and SHS exposure did not significantly affect ADHD outcomes, highlighting the need for better public health measures against smoking during pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
  • Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology is increasingly used in spinal surgery for applications such as preoperative planning, custom implants, and surgical guides, promising personalized care and improved patient outcomes.
  • A literature review highlights both the benefits of 3DP in enhancing surgical stability and precision, and significant barriers to its adoption, including high costs, technological limitations, and insufficient clinical evidence.
  • Ongoing research and development aim to overcome these challenges, with the potential for 3DP technology to transform spinal surgery by enabling tailored treatments and better surgical strategies in the future.

Unraveling the knowledge of the complex refractive index and photophysical properties of the perovskite layer is paramount to uncovering the physical process that occurs in a perovskite solar cell under illumination. Herein, we probed the optical and photophysical properties of FAPbI (FAPI) and CsFAPbI (CsFAPI) thin films deposited from pre-synthesized powder, by the spectroscopic ellipsometer and time-resolved fluorescence spectra. We determined the complex refractive index of perovskite films by fitting the measured spectroscopic ellipsometer data with the three-oscillator Tauc-Lorentz (T-L) model.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study utilized advanced techniques on samples from 1065 humans and 41 rhesus macaques to explore these connections, revealing a link between the posterior precuneus (POS2) and the temporal pole areas through the cingulum.
  • * Findings enhance our understanding of brain connectivity and could help integrate anatomical knowledge with functional roles in both healthy and diseased brains.

Background: The nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have become the mainstay anticoagulation therapy for patients requiring oral anticoagulants (OACs) in the Gulf Council Cooperation (GCC) countries. The frequency of NOAC-associated major bleeding is expected to increase in the Emergency Department (ED). Nonetheless, we still lack local guidelines and recommendations for bleeding management in the region.
