So, this study aimed to assess the nutritional status of HIV/AIDS patients who were on SLART and its associated factors in Northern Ethiopia.

Molecular and cellular dynamics of the developing human neocortex.

Nature

January 2025

The Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regeneration Medicine and Stem Cell Research, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.

The development of the human neocortex is highly dynamic, involving complex cellular trajectories controlled by gene regulation. Here we collected paired single-nucleus chromatin accessibility and transcriptome data from 38 human neocortical samples encompassing both the prefrontal cortex and the primary visual cortex. These samples span five main developmental stages, ranging from the first trimester to adolescence.

Hospital to home transition of children with medical complexities in the Netherlands: current practice.

Eur J Pediatr

January 2025

Department of Neonatal & Pediatric Intensive Care, Division of Pediatric Intensive Care, Erasmus Medical Center - Sophia Children's Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) often require 24/7 expert care, which may impede discharge from hospital to home (H2H) resulting in prolonged admission. Limited research exists on pediatric patients with delayed discharges and the underlying reasons for such extended admissions. Therefore, our objectives were to (1) describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, and course of CMC who are in their H2H transition and (2) identify the reasons for postponement of H2H discharge.

Street-connected young people (SCYP) in Tanzania face intersecting challenges, including economic vulnerability, social marginalisation and limited access to supportive networks. This study examines the impact of the Youth Association (YA) model, implemented by Railway Children Africa, and does so through the lens of the relational well-being approach, which emphasises the interplay of material, relational and subjective dimensions of well-being, as well as personal, societal and environmental drivers of well-being. Using a mixed methods design, this study tracked 116 SCYP in Mwanza and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, through four stages of the YA model.

Many people in the Western world wish to reduce dietary reliance on animal-based and animal-derived foods. Plant-based (PB) meat and dairy alternatives can aid in this transition, but in the dairy category, only the milk market is well developed. Attention in the present research is, therefore, directed to PB cheese alternatives (PBCA), which were studied relative to dairy cheeses in a consumer taste test (central location setting) with 157 New Zealand (NZ) consumers conducted in 2023.
