Fifteen children, 10 boys and 5 girls, with autistic disorder, were studied with low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The age ranged from 2.7-13.1 years, with a mean of 8.3 years. All patients but one (who refused) had a normal CT scan of the C.N.S. The MRI investigation was performed during anaesthesia with a low field magnetic resonance imager. The cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem were examined. No pathological changes were found in any of the patients studied.

Professionals' perception on nutritional care of adult patients in comprehensive specialized hospitals of East Wollega Zone, Ethiopia.

BMC Nutr

January 2025

Department of Public Health , Institute of Health Sciences, Wollega University, Nekemte Town, Post Box 395, Nekemte, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Background: Adult patients suffering from malnutrition in hospitals are often overlooked, especially in low-income countries. Health care professionals play a vital role in identifying and managing the nutritional needs of patients. However, their perception regarding the nutritional care of adult patients have not been thoroughly examined.

Healthcare performance of leprosy management in peripheral health facilities of Dhanusa and Mahottari, Nepal.

BMC Health Serv Res

January 2025

Department of Health Services, Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, Ministry of Health and Population, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Background: The global elimination of leprosy transmission by 2030 is a World Health Organization (WHO) target. Nepal's leprosy elimination program depends on early case diagnosis and the performance of health workers and facilities. The knowledge and skills of paramedical staff (Leprosy Focal Person, LFP) and case documentation and management by health facilities are therefore key to the performance of health care services.

Background: Therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of neurological disease show great potential, but their applications are rather limited due to limited brain exposure. The most well-studied approach to enhance brain influx of protein therapeutics, is receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) by targeting nutrient receptors to shuttle protein therapeutics over the blood-brain barrier (BBB) along with their endogenous cargos. While higher brain exposure is achieved with RMT, the timeframe is short due to rather fast brain clearance.

Research on flexible strain sensors has grown rapidly and is widely applied in the fields of soft robotics, body motion detection, wearable sensors, health monitoring, and sports. In this study, MXene was successfully synthesized in powder form and combined with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to develop MWCNT@MXene conductive network-based flexible strain sensors with silicone rubber (SR) substrate. Combining MWCNTs with MXene as a conductive material has been shown to significantly improve the sensor performance, due to MXene's high conductivity properties that strengthen the MWCNT conductive pathway, increase sensitivity, and improve sensor stability.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, embedded devices in various computer vision scenarios can realize real-time target detection and recognition tasks, such as intelligent manufacturing, automatic driving, smart home, and so on. YOLOv8, as an advanced deep learning model in the field of target detection, has attracted much attention for its excellent detection speed, high precision, and multi-task processing capability. However, since IoT embedded devices typically own limited computing resources, direct deployment of YOLOv8 is a big challenge, especially for real-time detection tasks.
