Children may not know, or cannot tell, what is causing their psychosomatic symptoms. Methods are outlined which may help paediatricians to see what goes on in children's minds and also help children to express it. For some children, such expression may itself be healing: for others, further help will be needed. Interested paediatricians will learn to distinguish between these groups.

The integration of computational models with experimental data is a cornerstone for gaining insight into biomedical applications. However, parameter fitting procedures often require an immense availability and frequency of data that are challenging to obtain from a single source. Here, we present a novel methodology designed to integrate qualitative data from multiple laboratories, overcoming the constraints of single-lab data collection.

Single cell Amperometry (SCA) is a powerful, sensitive, high temporal resolution electrochemical technique used to quantify secreted molecular messengers from individual cells and vesicles. This technique has been extensively applied to study the process of exocytosis, and it has also been applied, albeit less frequently, to investigate insulin exocytosis from single pancreatic beta cells. Insufficient insulin release can lead to diabetes, a chronic lifestyle disorder that affects millions of people worldwide.

Polytrithiocarbonates have attracted significant attention recently because of their good thermal stability, light refractivity, crystallinity, and mechanical properties; however, the exploration of their structures and functionalities has been limited by their synthetic approaches. Multicomponent polymerization featuring simple monomers, mild conditions, diversified product structures, and high efficiency could provide a powerful and versatile tool to synthesize various polytrithiocarbonates from commercially available monomers. Herein, a robust and efficient multicomponent tandem polymerization (MCTP) of CS, dithiols, and alkyl halides was developed in DMF with KCO at room temperature in air to synthesize 12 polytrithiocarbonates with diversified and systematically tuned structures, high molecular weights (s up to 37900 g/mol), and high yields (up to 93%).

Diamond is an exceptional material with great potential across various fields owing to its interesting properties. However, despite extensive efforts over the past decades, producing large quantities of desired ultrathin diamond membranes for widespread use remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that edge-exposed exfoliation using sticky tape is a simple, scalable and reliable method for producing ultrathin and transferable polycrystalline diamond membranes.

Understanding the impact of exposure to air pollution on children's health is critical for developing effective child health protection policies. Alveolar macrophage black carbon (AMBC) provides an indicator of personal exposure to air pollution. Hence, we aimed to examine air pollution exposure and its effects on children by measuring AMBC area and inflammatory cytokines in sputum.
