Influence of mothers' and frontline health workers' knowledge, attitude, and practices on infant and young child feeding and child nutrition: a cross-sectional study in aspirational districts of Assam, India.

The knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of mothers and frontline health workers (FLWs) regarding optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) are essential for mitigating undernutrition and associated morbidities among under-five children. The study assessed the KAP of mothers (of children aged 0-60 months) and FLWs regarding recommended IYCF practices, the association of mother's KAP with their demographic characteristics and children's nutritional outcomes, and the prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight among children aged 0-60 months in five high-focus districts of Assam. Data were collected from 389 mothers, 456 children, and 138 FLWs using a standard method.

The Association Between Sociodemographic Factors and Delays to Minimally Invasive Surgery for Stage IA-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Background: Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Prior studies have found that delayed treatment carries risk of disease progression. However, factors that predict delay to surgery are relatively understudied.

Postoperative day of surgery ambulation improves outcomes following lung resection: a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Background: The impact of post-surgical same day ambulation in lung resection patients is relatively unstudied. We sought to determine the relationship between day of surgery ambulation and postoperative outcomes after lung resection.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study at one healthcare system with six hospitals (1/2019-3/2023).

Patient, facility, and surgical factors associated with significant delays to esophagectomy and subsequent poor outcomes: An analysis of 16,486 cases.

Objective: Delays to definitive surgery in esophageal cancer may be associated with disease progression and worsened survival. The objective of this study was to perform a national assessment for predictors of delay to esophagectomy and to assess for their impact on oncologic and survival outcomes.

Methods: The National Cancer Database, 2010 to 2020, was queried for patients with locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma (stage I-III).
