Department of Haematology and Blood Transfusion, Rivers State University Teaching Hospital & Faculty of Basic Clinical Sciences, Rivers State University, Nigeria.
Background: Microalbuminuria, an early indicator of kidney damage in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients, is linked to a heightened risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adulthood. This study investigates the determinants of microalbuminuria in paediatric SCD patients in South-South Nigeria.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted over six months at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, involving 60 children with [HbSS genotype, SCD] in a steady state.
Food Acquisition Coping Strategies Vary Based on Food Security Among University Students.
Curr Dev Nutr
January 2025
The Family, Interiors, Nutrition & Apparel (FINA) Department, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA, United States.
Background: Food insecurity on college campuses is a pressing issue, yet the ways in which students manage challenges and disruptions to their food security status (FSS) are poorly understood.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine knowledge of food insecurity as a concept, evaluate FSS, identify food acquisition-related behaviors, and determine whether these behaviors differ among FSS.
Methods: University students at increased risk of experiencing food insecurity ( = 43) were recruited for this mixed-methods study.
"Groupitizing": A Visuo-Spatial and Arithmetic Phenomenon.
Open Mind (Camb)

When objects are grouped in space, humans can estimate numerosity more precisely than when they are randomly scattered. This phenomenon, called groupitizing, is thought to arise from the interplay of two components: the subitizing system which identifies both the number of subgroups and of items within each group, and the possibility to perform basic arithmetic operations on the subitized groups. Here we directly investigate the relative role of these two components in groupitizing via an interference (dual task) paradigm.

Background: Obesity plays a crucial role in the development of metabolic disorders including diabetes, coronary and renal diseases. There are several factors involved in the pathology of obesity, including chronic inflammation and exposure to environmental contaminants. Recently, the cholinergic co-hydrolyzing enzyme BChE has been associated with clinical conditions such as diabetes and obesity.
