Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between adolescent pregnancy and language development in children living in socioeconomically vulnerable areas of Mexico.
Materials And Methods: We estimated the standardized language score of children aged 12-59 months who participated in the Ensanut 100k. Teenage mothers (TM) were those who at delivery was between 12-19 years old. The association was estimated using multivariate linear regression; moreover, we evaluated an interaction between type of mother and place of residence.
Results: Children of TM who lived in urban areas had lower standardized language scores than those of adult mothers (ß= -0.33 95%CI: -0.65 a -0.01; p for interaction<0.01). However, book availability and/or mother’s support for learning significantly reduce this difference.
Conclusions: Sociocultural pressures towards TM in urban areas could explain the results; nevertheless, this population could be susceptible to strategies aimed to improve the mother-child relationship and support for learning.

Hyaluronan (HA), a natural high molecular weight polysaccharide, has extensive applications in cosmetology and medical treatment. Hyaluronan-degrading enzymes (Hyals) act as molecular scissors that cleave HA by breaking the glucosidic linkage. Hyals are present in diverse organisms, including vertebrates, invertebrates and microorganisms, and play momentous roles in biological processes.

Background: Women's economic empowerment (WEE) is believed to reduce the risk of intimate partner violence (IPV), yet the relationship between WEE and IPV has proven to be highly variable. Little attention has been given to how the normative WEE environment may influence this relationship across different settings. This study tests whether IPV is associated with Vanguard WEE, defined as individual economic participation that deviates from community norms.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the formation of benign tumors in various organs, particularly in the central nervous system. We aimed to delineate the molecular profile of Turkish individuals diagnosed with TSC by analyzing the TSC1 and TSC2 genes using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sophia Genetics' Sophia Inherited Disease Panel was used to perform NGS on 22 individuals diagnosed with TSC and to identify pathogenic variants in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes.

Objective: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease characterized by proximal muscle weakness and atrophy. The increasing availability of disease-modifying therapies has prompted the development of biomarkers to facilitate clinical assessments. We explored the association between disease severity and serum creatinine (Crn) levels in SMA patients undergoing up to two years of treatment with nusinersen.

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding is defined as giving breast milk to the newborn within one hour of birth. It strengthens the link between mother and child, promotes cognitive development, and lowers the chance of obesity and non-communicable diseases during the prime years of life. Nowadays, only 50% of newborns worldwide receive breast milk within their first hour of life.
