The objective of the present study was to determine the age of the unidentified corpses based on the investigation of the structure (wall width) of proximal epiphysis of the humeral bone. The results of analysis of the ongoing identification studies suggest the necessity of the development of the new methods for the determination of the human age including those based on the quantitative structural criteria for the long tubular bones. The original method proposed by the authors envisages the preparation of the stains from the frontal sawcuts of the humeral bone on the paper with the identification of the parameters of interest and calculation of the morphometric coefficients (MC). The significant differences in these coefficients suggest the possibility of using the proposed method for the purpose of identification expertise.

Background: The benefits of improving coverage and timeliness of varicella vaccination need to be quantified in countries where varicella vaccine (VarV) has not yet been included in national immunization programs. This longitudinal study analyzed the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the varicella vaccination program implemented in Changzhou City during the transitional period (2017-2022).
Methods: Using the Immunization Information System and National Notifiable Infectious Disease Surveillance System registry data, this retrospective case-cohort study assessed the VEs of varicella vaccination for Changzhou children born from 2016 to 2021.

Introduction: Otitis Media (OM) is one of the most common infections in young children and can create fluctuating hearing loss. Despite the commonality of this condition, there is a lack of conclusive evidence on its impact on speech production outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to identify the impact of otitis media on speech production in children.

Although the effect of the pandemic was ubiquitous, it has been more extensively studied in urban areas, which leads to an underscoring of the burden of COVID-19 in rural US. Health disparities adversely affect children in rural communities, each of which is unique and requires interventions based on regional needs.

In spite of the commendable global Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) coverage in the last two decades, completion and timeliness of receipt of all the required doses are still below target. In Uganda, the 3 + 0 PCV regimen has been reported to have a steady decline in the completion rate and the reasons for the delayed completion are unidentified. This study aimed at assessing the influence of socio-demographic factors on delayed PCV completion among young children.
