Aim: We investigated psychological strengths and difficulties in a Swedish population of preschool children and analysed how these behavioural variables were related to body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels, sedentary behaviour and diet.
Methods: Three hundred and fifteen boys and girls were recruited during 2014-2015. Body composition was measured using air-displacement plethysmography, and anthropometric measures were taken. Parents responded to questions about age, sex and educational attainment, diet, physical activity levels and smoking habits, as well as the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Regression models were created to analyse associations between psychological variables, body composition and health behaviours.
Results: Hyperactivity scores were positively related to fat-free mass (β = 0.20, P = .001) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (β = 0.16, P = .003) and negatively associated with sedentary behaviours (β = 0.18, P = .001), but showed no statistically significant associations with fat mass.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the adverse health consequences of hyperactivity on obesity and obesity-related health behaviours may be established after the preschool period. Questions about the time frame of contributing and modulating factors in obesity development are discussed.

Glycohybrids are biologically significant molecules with variety of biological functions and are found as structural motifs in numerous natural products. Here, we report the synthesis of various new coumarin-based O-glycoconjugates as glycohybrids that are chirally enriched and bridged by 1,2,3-triazoles ring system. The1,2,3-triazoles bridging was done via CuAAC click-chemistry.

Farnesol (FAR) belongs to terpenes group and is a sesquiterpene alcohol and a hydrophobic compound, which can be extracted from natural sources or obtained by organic chemical or biological synthesis. Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology allow the drawbacks of low drug solubility, which can improve the drug therapeutic index. Therefore, this study aimed to prepare the FAR inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) through freeze-drying method, proposing their physicochemical characterization, comparing their toxicity, and evaluating their in vitro antibacterial activity.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability globally. Advances in clinical care have improved survival rates, leading to a growing population living with long-term effects of TBI, which can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional health. These effects often require continuous management and individualized care.

Sustained effects of bladder point-of-care ultrasound simulation exercise on nursing students: A prospective cohort study.
BMC Med Educ

School of Nursing, Seirei Christopher University, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.
Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.
