Background: The health and well-being of children are intimately linked to their parents' physical, emotional, and social health and social circumstances.
Aim: To conduct a meta-analysis of studies that have used the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and Child Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (COHRQoL) instruments, to evaluate the family impact scale (FIS) changes following their children's dental treatment under general anaesthesia (DGA).
Methodology: A systematic search was undertaken using the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria consisted of patients below 16 years of age, DGA, pre- and post-operative assessments, and the use of ECOHIS and COHRQoL. FIS changes were the primary outcome measure, where the mean difference (MD) was calculated.
Results: After initial search of 105 studies in the database, twenty-one articles were included in the analysis. A positive outcome in the FIS changes was identified in all studies. The combined MD for FIS using ECOHIS and COHRQoL was 1.52 [95% CI: 1.15-1.89; P < 0.00001; I =87%] and 1.10 [95% CI: 0.68-1.52; P < 0.00001; I =79%], respectively.
Conclusions: Dental treatment with general anaesthesia for children had a significant positive impact on parental emotions, activity, and conflict. Following DGA, there was significant improvement in the FIS, with large MD.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how reallocating time among physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep affects obesity indicators like BMI and waist circumference across various age groups.
- Researchers analyzed data from 9,818 participants using isotemporal substitution models to understand the implications of these behavior changes.
- Results indicated that even small shifts of 10-30 minutes can significantly impact obesity, with reallocating moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) to lighter activities or sedentary behavior having particularly detrimental effects.

This paper investigates the odometry drift problem in differential-drive indoor mobile robots and proposes a multi-sensor fusion approach utilizing a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) within a Wheel-Inertial-Visual Odometry (WIVO) framework to optimize the 6-DoF localization of the robot in unstructured scenes. The structure and principles of the multi-sensor fusion system are developed, incorporating an Iterated Error State Kalman Filter (IESKF) for enhanced accuracy. An FIS is integrated with the IESKF to address the limitations of traditional fixed covariance matrices in process and observation noise, which fail to adapt effectively to complex kinematic characteristics and visual observation challenges such as varying lighting conditions and unstructured scenes in dynamic environments.

Laser ablation was used to successfully fabricate multiferroic bilayer thin films, composed of BaTiO (BTO) and CoFeO (CFO), on highly doped (100) Si substrates. This study investigates the influence of BaTiO layer thickness (50-220 nm) on the films' structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties. The dense, polycrystalline films exhibited a tetragonal BaTiO phase and a cubic spinel CoFeO layer.

Bladder cancer (BC) represents a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from recurrent non-invasive tumors to advanced stages that require intensive treatments. BC accounts for an estimated 500,000 new cases and 200,000 deaths worldwide every year. Understanding the biology of BC has changed how this disease is diagnosed and treated.

Objective: A retrospective multicenter study to investigate the potential association between descriptive information related to pregnancy history and perinatal features and the risk of neuroblastoma (NB) in children.
Study Design: Data from 56 mothers during 105 pregnancies (56 cases of NB, 49 control siblings) were collected through face-to-face or telephone interviews with mothers of children diagnosed with NB, along with information extracted from Health System databases. Descriptive information related to (a) pregnancy history as maternal stressful life events with perceived distress during pregnancy, weight gain, alcohol and tobacco consumption, mode of delivery and gestational age; and (b) perinatal features as congenital pathologies, weight at birth and type of feeding were examined to identify potential risk factors for NB.
