Elucidating the relationship between metal-ligand interactions and the associated conformational change of the ligand is critical for understanding the separation of lanthanides ion binding. Here we examine DTPA, a multidentate ligand that binds lanthanides, in its free and metal bound conformations using ultrafast polarization dependent vibrational spectroscopy. The polarization dependent pump-probe spectra were analyzed to extract the isotropic and anisotropic response of DTPA's carbonyl groups in the 1550-1650 cm spectral region.

Article Synopsis
  • A study examined the connection between childhood overweight and various socio-economic factors, including the mother's background and migration status, using data from 9,250 preschoolers in France.
  • It found that 8.3% of children were overweight, with significantly higher odds for those with immigrant mothers and lower socio-economic statuses.
  • The research suggests that socio-economic disadvantages and migration status contribute to childhood overweight, highlighting the need for targeted public health interventions to address these social inequalities.

Introduction: Children have been significantly less affected by COVID-19 than adults and presented with milder and less symptomatic forms of the disease. However, there has been suggestion that children older than 10 years and adolescents exhibits features closer to that of young adults. Most studies combine children in different age-groups and lack sufficient numbers to explore in detail age specificities.

Several risk factors of children's mental health issues have been identified during the pandemic of COronaVIrus Disease first appeared in 2019 (COVID-19). This study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding the association between parents' and children's mental health issues during the COVID-19 school closure in France. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data collected in the SAPRIS-ELFE study during the COVID-19 pandemic in France.
