Background: The relationship between health and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has been a major topic in the field of healthcare. In recent years, the study ACEs and health has expanded internationally.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further develop the concept of ACEs using a global perspective.
Method: Rodgers' Evolutionary Model guided the study. PubMed, CINAHL, and PsychINFO databases were searched. A total of 39 publications were selected for review.
Findings: Development of the concept was achieved using a wide global lens. ACEs are influenced by diverse cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors that affect individuals' health worldwide.
Discussion: The developed ACEs concept described in this paper includes a global perspective, adding context to the existing definition, thus broadening its application, and expanding its usefulness in international research. A clear concept for ACEs is valuable to nurses who care for children, adolescents and young adults around the world, who have suffered from ACEs and seek health care.

Identification of positive childhood experiences with the potential to mitigate childhood unhealthy weight status in children within the context of adverse childhood experiences: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Despite potential protective and mitigating effects of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) on poor health outcomes, limited research has identified relevant PCEs and examined their individual and cumulative associations with weight status, or their mitigating effects on the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and obesity in children. This study aims to develop an exploratory PCEs Index with the potential to protect against or mitigate the association between ACEs and unhealthy weight status.
Methods: Data came from the Growing Up in New Zealand study.

Childhood nutrition plays an important role in the promotion of long-term health. Introducing solid foods in alignment with the Mediterranean Diet during weaning fosters a preference for healthy foods early in life. However, access to nutritious diets remains a challenge in underserved communities.

Promoting child well-being and development requires a multidimensional approach, including the right to adequate food practices. Socially vulnerable children are more exposed to adverse experiences, such as inadequate food consumption due to poverty. In this context, home-visiting programs are an important strategy for nutritional and health care education to provide relevant guidelines.

Background: Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A) activity. Our goal was to correct the enzyme deficiency in Fabry patients by transferring the cDNA for α-gal A into their CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Overexpression of α-gal A leads to secretion of the hydrolase; which can be taken up and used by uncorrected bystander cells.

Objectives: To explore associations between population density, air pollution concentrations, and related health outcomes in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Methods: Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO) and fine particulate matter (PM) and associated health outcomes (premature mortality, cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalisations, and childhood asthma) were obtained from the Health and Air Pollution in New Zealand 2016 study. The possible mediating factors assessed were motor vehicle traffic, domestic fires, local industry, and green space.
