This study examined the third-grade outcomes of 11,902 low-income Latino children who experienced public school pre-K or child care via subsidies (center-based care) at age 4 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Regression and propensity score analyses revealed that children who experienced public school pre-K earned higher scores on standardized assessments of math and reading in third grade and had higher grade point averages than those who attended center-based care 4 years earlier. The sustained associations between public school pre-K (vs. center-based care) and third-grade outcomes were mediated by children's kindergarten entry preacademic and social-behavioral skills, and among English-language learners, English proficiency. Implications for investing in early childhood programs to assist with the school readiness of young Latino children in poverty are discussed.

This study examined the relationship between reading fluency and reading comprehension of grade-level academic language. The CUBED Narrative Language Measures: Reading (NLM:R) subtest was used to assess the reading fluency and reading comprehension performance of 605 second- and third-grade students. The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) reading assessment was also used to assess students' reading comprehension.

Background: The prevention of pediatric mental health disorders is a growing health priority in the United States. While exposure to green space, such as outdoor vegetation, has been linked with improved mental health outcomes in children, little is known about the impact of green space on children's sleep. Sleep has many benefits, but the factors affecting both sleep and mental health as they relate to green space exposure are not well understood in children.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed data from 14,370 students in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Class of 2011 to explore how student-teacher relationships impact various student outcomes from kindergarten to third grade.
- The findings revealed that both conflict and closeness in student-teacher relationships significantly influenced student outcomes over time, except for absenteeism, which was less consistently affected by conflict.
- The study noted that girls tended to have poorer social outcomes compared to boys due to experiencing more conflictual and less close relationships with their teachers.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the serum albumin-to-serum creatinine ratio (sACR) and in-hospital mortality among patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
- Researchers categorized patients based on sACR levels and used statistical analyses to determine how these levels affect mortality risk.
- Findings indicate that lower sACR levels are associated with higher in-hospital mortality, suggesting sACR can help identify high-risk patients for better treatment outcomes.
