A cross-sectional population-based study of determinants of growth retardation in under-five children (3,389) in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil estimated odds ratios (OR) for stunting, defined as height-for-age < -2 zeta-scores of the NCHS standards. Hierarchical modeling based on a framework of the process of stunting was used. Stunting prevalence was 6.8%; the main determinants were per capita family income < 0.8 times the minimum wage (OR: 3.95; 95%CI: 2.10-7.42), maternal illiteracy (OR: 17.17; 95%CI: 4.43-66.54), living in a wooden or mixed-construction house (OR: 2.33; 95%CI: 1.35-4.01), inadequate housing (OR: 2.75; 95%CI: 1.70-4.43), maternal age at the child's birth < 20 years (OR: 1.73; 95%CI: 1.11-2.70), being an adopted child (OR: 3.28; 95%CI: 1.52-7.07), third-born child or greater (OR: 2.04; 95%CI: 1.15-3.62), birth interval < 24 months since previous child (OR: 1.69; 95%CI: 1.13-2.53), subsequent sibling (OR: 1.91; 95%CI: 1.16-3.13), multiple birth (OR: 2.40; 95%CI: 1.04-5.50), low birth weight (OR: 3.79; 95%CI: 2.38-6.02), and hospitalization in the first year of life (OR: 1,65; 95%CI: 1.01-2.68). The findings can be used by primary healthcare services to design specific interventions to prevent stunting.

Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
Introduction In the realm of Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS), various access methods such as Transfemoral access (TFA), Transradial Artery access (TRA), and Transbrachial access (TBA) have been employed. While TFA is widely established, TRA and TBA offer alternative options. TBA lacks comprehensive studies, and there is a notable lack of comprehensive evidence systematically evaluating its outcomes.

Objective: To assess the association between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density (PSAD) and prostate cancer mortality after a benign result on systematic transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study used data from the Finnish Randomised Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (FinRSPC) collected between 1996 and 2020. We identified men aged 55-71 years randomised to the screening arm with PSA ≥4.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. While advances in detection and treatment have improved survival, breast cancer survivors face an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, limited data exist on cardiac outcomes after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in this population.

School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple major databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Science Direct, China's National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Wanfang database. We retrieved studies published before December 2022 that met the inclusion criteria, including clinical controlled trials (randomized controlled trials) and clinical noncontrolled trials (non-randomized controlled trials) on the use of Ahmed glaucoma valve in pediatric patients with refractory glaucoma.
Incidence Rates and Risks for Reoperations for Nonunion and Adjacent Level Disease: Stopping at L1 versus T10/T11/12.
Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
January 2025
The Permanente Medical Group, Oakland, CA.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To determine if there is a difference in reoperations for adjacent segment disease (operative ASD) and nonunion (operative nonunion) in lumbar fusions that stop at T10/T11/T12 versus L1.
Summary Of Background Data: Current lumbar spine surgery is based on the belief that ASD occurs if fusions are stopped at L1 although there is varying evidence to support this assumption.
