Leveraging Administrative Data to Better Understand and Address Child Maltreatment: A Scoping Review of Data Linkage Studies.

Background: This scoping review aimed to overview studies that used administrative data linkage in the context of child maltreatment to improve our understanding of the value that data linkage may confer for policy, practice, and research.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ERIC electronic databases in June 2019 and May 2020 for studies that linked two or more datasets (at least one of which was administrative in nature) to study child maltreatment. We report findings with numerical and narrative summary.

A Highly Selective Turn-On Biosensor for Measuring Spermine/Spermidine in Human Urine and Blood.

Spermine and spermidine serve as the key biomarkers for early-stage cancer diagnosis. This work reports a rapid, highly selective, and noninvasive sensing platform for spermine/spermidine. The hybrid material, developed in this work, has been characterized by UV-vis, IR, powder XRD, SEM, EDX, and rheological studies.
