Physical work adjusted to physical and mental capabilities of an adolescent is considered as a positive factor in the context of constructing health condition. The objective of the study was the determination of the relationship between self-reported health, the occurrence of injuries and the work load among rural school-aged children engaged in work tasks in the household and on a farm. The study covered 662 pupils aged 11, 13 and 15 from rural schools in the eastern region of Poland. The study was conducted by means of a survey with the use of two questionnaire forms: Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) - Cross-National Study and 'Children's work in the household and on the farm'. A relationship was observed between work load in the household and on the farm, measured by such indicators as: working time, heaviness of work activities performed and performance of hazardous and harmful work tasks, positive evaluation of own appearance and life satisfaction (in boys), and a higher incidence of injuries requiring medical care.

() commonly induces refractory infection due to its multidrug-resistant nature. To date, there have been no reports on the application of phage treatment for infection. This study was conducted to explore the feasibility of phage application in treating refractory infection by collaborating with a 59-year-old male patient with a pulmonary infection of multidrug-resistant Our experiments included three domains: ) selection of the appropriate phage, ) verification of the efficacy and safety of the selected phage, ) confirmation of phage-bacteria interactions.

Background: All recent advances in healthcare, including diagnostics, surveillance, management, and disease prevention, have depended on good-quality research that has brought new information to light. Therefore, in Pakistan, it is important to develop good research skills as, for many years, our physicians have relied on research knowledge from the Western world, which does not necessarily provide solutions to a developing country. Considering the gap in research knowledge among young doctors, the study was planned to compare the research knowledge of postgrad trainees of clinical and basic health sciences (BHS) of private tertiary care hospitals in Karachi.

In this work, a cost-effective, scalable pneumatic silicone actuator array is introduced, designed to dynamically conform to the user's skin and thereby alleviate localised pressure within a prosthetic socket. The appropriate constitutive models for developing a finite element representation of these actuators are systematically identified, parametrised, and validated. Employing this computational framework, the surface deformation fields induced by 270 variations in soft actuator array design parameters under realistic load conditions are examined, achieving predictive accuracies within 70 µm.

Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medications are the primary treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). However, frequent administrations pose significant burdens on patients, healthcare providers, and systems. The treat-and-extend (T&E) regimen, which adjusts treatment intervals based on patient response, aims to reduce injection frequency while maintaining disease control.
