A Digital Health Solution for Child Growth Monitoring at Home: Testing the Accuracy of a Novel "GrowthMonitor" Smartphone Application to Detect Abnormal Height and Body Mass Indices.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a smartphone application that accurately measures height and provides notifications when abnormalities are detected.

Patients And Methods: A total of 145 (75 boys) participants with a mean age ± SD of 8.7±4.

Demographics, natural history and treatment outcomes of non-molar gestational choriocarcinoma: a UK population study.

Objective: To investigate the demographics, natural history and treatment outcomes of non-molar gestational choriocarcinoma.

Design: A retrospective national population-based study.

Setting: UK 1995-2015.

Gene editing in the context of an increasingly complex genome.

The reporting of the first draft of the human genome in 2000 brought with it much hope for the future in what was felt as a paradigm shift toward improved health outcomes. Indeed, we have now mapped the majority of variation across human populations with landmark projects such as 1000 Genomes; in cancer, we have catalogued mutations across the primary carcinomas; whilst, for other diseases, we have identified the genetic variants with strongest association. Despite this, we are still awaiting the genetic revolution in healthcare to materialise and translate itself into the health benefits for which we had hoped.

Harms of cigarette smoking: call to increase knowledge among children.

Although the major burden of disease caused by smoking is observed in the adult population, two-third of smokers start before the age of 18 years. Reducing the number of young smokers could lead to marked improvements to the health of the UK population and save billions of pounds in National Health Service finances. However, very little is known about what makes children decide to not smoke or to quit early.
