Background: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. While adult studies have demonstrated hypocalcaemia's association with adverse outcomes, its impact on paediatric trauma patients remains understudied. This systematic review aims to investigate current evidence into the prevalence, clinical implications and associations of hypocalcaemia in paediatric trauma.

January 2025
Background: Meditation practices have demonstrated numerous psychological and physiological benefits, but capturing the neural correlates of varying meditative depths remains challenging. In this study, we aimed to decode self-reported time-varying meditative depth in expert practitioners using electroencephalography (EEG).
Methods: Expert Vipassana meditators ( = 34) participated in 2 separate sessions.
Article Synopsis
- Tineola bisselliella, known as the webbing clothes moth, is a significant pest that damages clothing and textiles, and there is a lack of genomic resources for this and related species.
- The newly assembled genome consists of 30 pseudochromosomes and is highly contiguous, containing over 11,000 annotated genes, making it superior in quality compared to other Tineidae genomes.
- This genome will help researchers understand the evolution of moth karyotypes and explore the mechanisms behind the moth's ability to digest keratin.
Acknowledging the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting, this study examined the effects of an acute exercise break during prolonged sitting on executive function, cortical hemodynamics, and microvascular status. In this randomized crossover study, 71 college students completed three conditions: (i) uninterrupted sitting (SIT); (ii) SIT with a 15 min moderate-intensity cycling break (MIC); and (iii) SIT with a 15 min vigorous-intensity cycling break (VIC). Behavioral outcomes, retinal vessel diameters (central retinal artery equivalents [CRAE], retinal vein equivalents [CRVE], arteriovenous ratio [AVR]), cortical activation, and effective connectivity were evaluated.

Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identity Level I-IV clinical studies on HA failure published between January 2016 and July 2021 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies of patients who underwent an arthroscopic hip procedure and included a definition of failure.
