A mobile safety center (MSC) provided education and reduced-cost safety products to low-income urban families. We evaluated uptake of this service under 3 different conditions, and safety-related knowledge and behavior associated with visiting the MSC among 210 families. Utilization varied widely under the 3 different conditions. At follow-up, MSC visitors scored slightly higher on a knowledge test than nonvisitors and improved more in reported car safety seat use, but did not differ in observed safety product use. This study provides very modest evidence of a positive impact of the MSC when its services are provided at a community health center.

Temporal interference stimulation (TIS) is a new form of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) that has been proposed as a method for targeted, noninvasive stimulation of deep brain structures. While TIS holds promise for a variety of clinical and nonclinical applications, little data is yet available regarding its effects in humans and its mechanisms of action. To inform the design and safe conduct of experiments involving TIS, researchers require quantitative guidance regarding safe exposure limits and other safety considerations.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines the microbial sources impacting the quality and safety of Idiazabal cheese, highlighting the diverse ecosystems present in raw milk and cheese samples.
- Major contributors to the microbiota are identified as commercial feed and teat skin, with specific bacterial genera linked to cheese quality and safety.
- The research also uncovers connections between these microbial sources and the presence of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, which could affect cheese production and public health.
This study delves into the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of vegetable handlers in Jashore Sadar, Bangladesh, specifically focusing on the crucial significance of food safety across the entire farm-to-fork process. Integrating quantitative and qualitative data provides a multifaceted depiction of this pivotal component within the food supply chain. Ten focus group discussions were conducted, and in total, 50 vegetable handlers were interviewed separately.

Labor and delivery nurses and certified nurse midwives (CNMs; = 109) from three hospitals participated in a study evaluating the effect of the Spinning Babies class on their confidence in implementing techniques and knowledge regarding safety related to labor positioning. After the class, participants demonstrated significant improvement in scores related to the variables of interest.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses registered nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding food-drug interactions (FDIs) through a survey conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar, involving 227 participants and 50 multiple-choice questions.
- - While nurses demonstrated strong knowledge (90%) about FDIs related to certain medications, they had limited awareness of interactions with drugs like carvedilol and furosemide, with only 42.3% regularly educating patients on FDIs.
- - The findings suggest that despite a generally satisfactory self-assessment of FDI knowledge (56.4%), there is a need for improved training and awareness among nurses to enhance patient care and medication safety.
