Increasing pressure is exerted by some stakeholders to reduce the two-generation study to a one-generation study, a measure that would considerably reduce the number of animals and other costs involved in these lengthy studies. The present study retrospectively evaluates 176 multi-generation studies to assess potential differences between the first and the second generation, both in terms of the types of effects observed and in terms of the effective doses. All substances classified as reproductive toxicants by the Directive 92/32/EEC or considered as toxic to fertility by the California EPA for which we found a multi-generation study were included (n=58 studies). The second generation in the two-generation studies considered affected neither the overall NOAEL nor the critical effect. Therefore, it had no impact on the ensuing risk assessment, nor on classification and labeling. However, several substances did show an increased sensitivity of the F(1) adults in comparison to the P(0). These results support the proposal of replacing the current two-generation study by a one-generation study with a more extensive assessment of parameters at F(1) adulthood.

Background: In low-income and middle-income countries, an estimated 181·9 million (74·6%) preschool-aged children do not receive adequate nurturing care in health, nutrition, protection, learning, and responsive care, thus jeopardising their healthy development across the life course. Working alongside the health sector, multisectoral actions including social protection and education are necessary to achieve child health and development outcomes. Innovations are needed to expand access to high-quality early childhood care and education (ECCE) for young children and opportunities for youth development.

Background: The US faces a maternal health crisis and struggles to deliver recommended postpartum care. In some populations, less than half of mothers attend a postpartum visit.
Objective: To determine if a two-generation (Two-Gen) model of interdisciplinary, postpartum primary care was associated with increased visit attendance for postpartum care, primary care, and behavioral health.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is influenced by both virological and host factors. A total of 5,920 CHB patients were classified into four groups based on HBV seromarkers: three-generation families (CHB grandmother, mother, and child), two-generation families (CHB mother/child pairs), individuals recovered from HBV infection, and a control group. Serological markers, viral load, liver function tests (LFT), HBV mutations, HLA-DQ variations, cytokine polymorphisms, and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) were analyzed using FibroScan.

This study aimed to identify whether gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR) heterozygous individuals have possible clinical manifestations and to explore the potential pathogenic mechanism. In this retrospective study, we surveyed a two-generation pedigree of an individual diagnosed with GACR. Two family members underwent ophthalmological, hematologic, and genetic tests.

Introduction: System-level initiatives are key to promoting health and well-being among young families, yet agencies and organizations who support those families often do not coordinate their delivery of supportive services and resources. We describe the South Carolina (SC) two-generation (2Gen) community of practice (CoP) and its early efforts to foster statewide adoption of "whole family" centered approaches.
Method: This mixed-methods study evaluated the impact of the CoP.
