Purpose Of Review: Quality of attachment relationships is believed to be an important early indicator of infant mental health as it is considered a vital component of social and emotional development in the early years. As a result, there has been a growing call for the development of early intervention attachment research programs. In this brief overview, we summarize what we consider to be the state-of-the-art of intervention programs targeted to increase the prevalence of secure attachment and to reduce the level of disorganized attachment among infants with a wide range of psychological risks.
Recent Findings: The themes in the literature covered by the article are as follows: recent results of the main preventive parent-young child interaction interventions to promote optimal attachment; recent metaanalysis on efficiency of these early attachment-based programs; intermediate variables on intervention effects; and benefits of specific therapeutic approaches focused on maternal psychopathology. Globally, early attachment-informed interventions show positive effects, both for mothers and infants.
Summary: Our revision stresses the importance of formally assessing the underlying mechanisms of change within interventions in research programs to open the path to improve and target these preventive approaches and consequently promote optimal attachment.

Utilizing innovative methods to advance the research and development (R&D) of health products and enhance their accessibility has become crucial to achieving universal health coverage, addressing public health emergencies, and promoting population health and wellbeing. However, structural contradictions do exist in the supply and demand of health products in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With the joint support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Ministry of Education, and the China-ASEAN Center, Peking University established the China-ASEAN Science and Technology Cooperation Center for Public Health in April 2023.

Pre- and perioperative management of malnutrition is crucial for the success of hip and knee arthroplasties. Various studies indicate that malnutrition, particularly when associated with vitamin D deficiency, significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications such as periprosthetic fractures and infections, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. Adequate preoperative nutritional intake, including vitamin D supplementation, can improve arthroplasty outcomes.

Background: Clinically, the ability to distinguish which Crohn's disease patients can benefit from Adalimumab is limited.
Aims: This study aimed to develop a model for predicting clinical remission probability for Crohn's disease patients with Adalimumab at 12 weeks. The model assists clinicians in identifying which Crohn's disease patients are likely to benefit from Adalimumab treatment before starting therapy, thus optimizing individualized treatment strategies.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients face critical decisions in choosing kidney replacement therapy such as hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD), which significantly affect their quality of life and health outcomes. Recent studies highlight the importance of shared decision-making (SDM) in helping patients understand their treatment options and make informed choices. SDM not only improves patient satisfaction and autonomy but also emphasizes the need for comprehensive pre-dialysis education to support optimal treatment selection.
