Several studies found that maternal symptoms of anxiety or depression are related to functioning and development of the offspring. Within a population-based study of 2,724 children, we investigated the effect of maternal anxiety or depression on infant neuromotor development. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were measured during pregnancy and after giving birth; infant neuromotor development was assessed by trained research nurses during a home visit at the age of 3 months. The current study showed that mothers who were anxious during pregnancy had an elevated risk of having an infant with non-optimal neuromotor development.

Myotonic Dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a multisystem disease affecting many tissues, including skeletal muscle, heart, and brain. DM2 is caused by unstable expansion of CCTG repeats in an intron 1 of a gene coding for cellular nuclear binding protein (CNBP). The expanded CCTG repeats cause DM2 pathology due to the accumulation of RNA CCUG repeats, which affect RNA processing in patients' cells.

Background: Physical Education (PE) classes are vital for nurturing students' social development and promoting collaboration. This study examined how primary and middle school students perceived PE classes, with a focus on collaboration, well-being and enjoyment, teacher behavior, the inclusion of nondisabled and disabled students, and general class behavior.
Methods: One-hundred and seventy students (24 primary school and 146 middle school students) were surveyed using a questionnaire.

The advancement of personalized treatments in oncology has garnered increasing attention, particularly for rare and aggressive cancer with low survival rates like the bone tumors osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. This study introduces a novel PDMS-agarose microfluidic device tailored for generating patient-derived tumor spheroids and serving as a reliable tool for personalized drug screening. Using this platform in tandem with a custom imaging index, we evaluated the impact of the anticancer agent doxorubicin on spheroids from both tumor types.
