Methods: Fundus photography, indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), and a literature review of retinal artery occlusions associated with IRVAN syndrome were performed.
Results: Fundus examination revealed bilateral blurred margins of the discs and peri-vascular hard exudates.
Article Synopsis
- Policy interventions in schools can enhance students' dietary habits, yet documentation on their development and execution is limited.
- The study details the co-creation and implementation of a Healthy Snacks Policy within the Sintra Grows Healthy initiative, utilizing a community-based participatory research approach that involved multiple stages and feedback mechanisms.
- Over a school year, the policy led to significant changes in snack choices, with a majority of teachers, students, and families reporting improvements in the consumption of healthier snacks among children.
Environmental exposure of preschool children to mercury can elevate blood mercury levels (BML) and negatively affect their health. This study aimed to determine BML in preschool children from Brazil's largest city and explore potential associated risk factors. Blood samples were collected in 2013 from 2436 children (age 1-5 years) attending 50 daycare centers (DCC) located in São Paulo, Brazil.
