Background: Afrotropical malaria vectors are generally believed to bite nocturnally, leading to the predominant use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), which target indoor, nighttime-biting mosquitoes. This focus is reinforced by biases in entomological surveys, which largely overlook daytime mosquito activity. However, recent evidence challenges this paradigm, showing that Anopheles biting can extend way into the daytime, coinciding with human activities at dawn, daytime and evenings, suggesting a broader risk spectrum and potential protection gaps.

Early Childhood Education and Care Attendance and Its Association With Outdoor Play, Screen Time and Sleep Duration of Young Children: Findings From the CHAT Trial in Australia.

Child Care Health Dev

November 2024

Health Promotion Unit, Population Health Research & Evaluation Hub, Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study explored how attending early childhood education and care (ECEC) impacts outdoor play, screen time, and sleep in children aged 2 and 3 years using data from Australian trials conducted between 2017 and 2020.
  • - Results showed that children who attended ECEC engaged in significantly more outdoor play and less screen time compared to those who didn't, although ECEC attendance didn't affect sleep duration.
  • - The study highlighted that children from higher socio-economic backgrounds were more likely to attend ECEC, indicating a need for future health programs to address those from lower socio-demographic backgrounds who may not access these services.

Background: Within the fields of medicine and music, increasing attention is given to evidence indicating music performance being an occupational risk factor for temporo-mandibular disorders (TMD).

Objectives: Assessment of self-reported painful TMD symptoms among student and professional musicians.

Methods: Using Survey Monkey software, the German version of the 'TMD-Pain-Screener' was distributed electronically to professional and student musicians in Europe.

Vegetable provision at schools in the UK has increased over recent years; however children still eat few of the vegetables that are served to them. Two experimental pilot and feasibility studies implemented a vegetables-served-first (study 1) plus experiential learning (study 2) approach to increase children's (3-5 years and 4-7 years respectively) vegetable consumption at school lunchtimes. Both studies involved vegetables-served-first 10-min before the rest of the meal, with experiential learning techniques (repeated exposure, "veg-first" dinner plates, vegetable songs, videos, and nutrition education) complementing the vegetable service in study 2.
