Despite substantial grounds for such research, the role of chronic exposure to stressors in the onset and aggravation of learning disabilities (LDs) is largely unexplored. In this review, we first consider the hormonal, (epi)genetic, and neurobiological mechanisms that might underlie the impact of adverse childhood experiences, a form of chronic stressors, on the onset of LDs. We then found that stress factors combined with feelings of inferiority, low self-esteem, and peer victimization could potentially further aggravate academic failures in children with LDs. Since effective evidence-based interventions for reducing chronic stress in children with LDs could improve their academic performance, consideration of the role of exposure to stressors in children with LDs has both theoretical and practical importance, especially when delivered in combination with academic interventions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sleep characteristics, circadian rhythms, behavior, and postnatal development of children with and without language difficulties (LDs) and the association of these variables with melatonin-containing food (FMT) consumption. The study involved parents who anonymously and voluntarily provided their children's personal data and assessed LDs, bedtime, meal timing, behavioral problems, gross motor skill development, and FMT consumption. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the associations between study variables.

Background: Guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction can entail high out-of-pocket (OOP) costs, prompting concerns about financial toxicity and access. OOP costs are generally unavailable during encounters. This trial assessed the impact of providing patient-specific OOP costs to patients and clinicians.

Background/objective: Learning difficulties (LDs) are lifelong neurodevelopmental disorders with multifactorial causes, including perinatal factors like mode of delivery. This study aims to explore whether cesarean section (CS) delivery is linked to the occurrence of specific learning disabilities (SLDs), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or their comorbidity.

Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms to Greek mothers and parents of children with and without diagnoses, shared through school-related groups and various Greek pages focused on child development, special education, and learning difficulties.

Article Synopsis
  • Interorganelle contacts are important for organelles to exchange materials effectively and maintain their function.
  • Lipid droplets in fat cells are vital for storing and mobilizing energy, and problems with their development can lead to metabolic issues.
  • The protein CLSTN3B is essential for the maturation of these lipid droplets, facilitating the connection between the endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets, which ultimately supports lipid storage and overall metabolic health.

Article Synopsis
  • Bovine colostrum (BC) delivered via a liposomal system was tested as a supplement for premature infants, aiming to reduce the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) due to its multiple beneficial factors for retinal development.
  • A controlled trial involving 211 preterm infants found that those receiving BC had a significantly lower incidence of ROP compared to those who did not receive it (5% vs. 16%), along with improved growth and lower rates of suspected sepsis.
  • The study concluded that BC intake positively impacted health outcomes in preterm infants, particularly reducing ROP, enhancing hemoglobin levels, and contributing to weight gain, although weight gain was the strongest predictor of reduced ROP.
