All 1210 manuscripts published in the 12 most prestigious health promotion research journals in 1994 were reviewed and coded based on stage of research and setting. Of the total, 34% were nonresearch articles, 35% were health-behavior research, and 31% were related to innovation, diffusion, and institutionalization. Of the 469 health behavior research articles, 57% were observation studies, 11% were methods development, 19% were intervention studies, 1% were meta-analyses, and 13% addressed diffusion and institutionalization. Half (46) of the intervention studies had randomized controlled designs. Studies were conducted in nonspecific community settings (206), health care settings (88), schools (75), specific community settings (53), workplaces (32), and universities (11).

Development of diselenide-based fluorogenic system for the selective and sensitive detection of the Hg(II) in aqueous media.
Dalton Trans
January 2025
Department of Chemistry, University of Mumbai, Mumbai, 400098, India.
Mercury(II) is highly toxic thus the selective and sensitive detection of Hg(II) is important. This research article deals with the synthesis and characterization of the fluorogenic system based on diselenide containing rhodamine by single crystal XRD. The probe has been used for selective detection of Hg(II) in aqueous media with detection limit of 62.

Exposure to heavy metals has been associated with affecting children's neurodevelopment, particularly increasing the risk of developing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The current exploratory study aims to investigate potential associations between presence of 15 different heavy metals in urine and ADHD. A total of 190 urine samples of participants from clinical and non-clinical population (non-ADHD = 66; ADHD = 124) aged between 6 and 15 years from Barcelona and Tarragona (Spain) were analysed.

Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, United States.
Background: Climate change has raised significant concerns about its impact on health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents. While extensive research has examined physical health effects, limited attention has been given to the influence of extreme heat on developmental and behavioral outcomes.
Objectives: This study investigates the association between extreme heat exposure and early puberty initiation (ages 9-10), using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study.
Peptide Backbone Cleavage and Transamidation via Thioester-to-Imide Acyl Transfer.

Center for Biopharmaceuticals and Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Jagtvej 160, DK-2100, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Cysteine thioesters are involved in a myriad of central biological transformations due to their unique reactivity. Despite their well-studied properties, we discovered an unexpected transamidation reaction of cysteine thioesters that leads to peptide backbone cleavage. -Acylcysteine-containing peptides were found to spontaneously fragment by cleavage of the amide bond in the -1 position to the acylated cysteine residue at pH 8-10.

Curr Dev Nutr
October 2024
Department of Health Behavior, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, United States.
Background: The growing dollar store sector has raised concerns about nutrition and associated health outcomes, especially for low-income communities who disproportionately rely on dollar stores. Perspectives of dollar store shoppers are largely absent.
Objective: This study aimed to understand why low-income shoppers choose to purchase food from dollar stores and what store changes, policies, and programs would make it easier for them to purchase healthier items.
