Background: Children's active travel to school is associated with physical activity and thus health. Safe Routes to School (SR2S) programs identify 'safe routes' to promote children's active travel to school. No field audit tool exists specifically to assess the microscale built environment of these 'safe routes' within Australia.

- Safe Routes to School (SR2S) initiatives aim to boost children's participation in Active School Travel (AST), but results have been inconsistent, prompting deeper investigation into effective factors and conditions.
- A Rapid Realist Review (RRR) identified 16 Context-Mechanism-Outcome Configurations (CMOCs), influenced by factors like parental concerns, perceived safety, and convenience, which shape children's motivation and decision-making regarding AST.
- The findings stress that tailoring SR2S strategies to local contexts is crucial for influencing parental decision-making and ultimately improving children's engagement in AST.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to stress the health care system. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were effective in reducing COVID-19-related hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits in their respective clinical trials. However, these results have yet to be reproduced in a practical setting following implementation of current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

Int J Hyperthermia
September 1994
The relationship of DNA fragmentation to the greatly enhanced cytotoxicity seen in vitro against tumour cells when recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is combined with hyperthermia was investigated. The TNF-alpha-sensitive L929 and -resistant EMT6 cells were treated with 8.8 and 16 ng of TNF-alpha per ml, respectively, and then heated at 40.
