Early threat-associated cortical thinning may be interpreted as accelerated cortical development. However, non-adaptive processes may show similar macrostructural changes. Examining cortical thickness (CT) together with grey/white-matter contrast (GWC), a proxy for intracortical myelination, may enhance the interpretation of CT findings.

- - Early-life nutrition, particularly the inclusion of prebiotics like galacto-oligosaccharides and human milk oligosaccharides, can improve vaccine responses in infants, as shown in a study with mice.
- - Mice on a specific diet (combination of GOS/lcFOS and HMOS) exhibited stronger immune responses, evidenced by increased ear swelling (a measure of delayed-type hypersensitivity) and higher levels of specific antibodies (IgG1).
- - The diet enhanced the activation of immune cells, particularly memory B lymphocytes and Th1 cells, indicating that incorporating these prebiotics into infant formulas could lead to better immune development and vaccine efficacy in infants.
Key Points: We conducted a randomized controlled pilot trial in patients on hemodialysis using a physiology-based individualized anemia therapy assistance software. Patients in the group receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose recommendations from the novel software showed improvement in hemoglobin stability and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent utilization.
Background: Anemia is common among patients on hemodialysis.
This study examined whether neural processing of infant cry sounds changes across the transition to fatherhood (i.e., from the prenatal to postnatal period), and examined whether an interaction-based prenatal intervention modulated these changes.
