Research on the experiences of parents who have lost a child to armed conflict is limited. The current study aimed to explore the bereaved experiences of those parents. An interpretative phenomenological approach was used to explore the experiences of 15 participants. The analysis resulted in two broad themes followed by subthemes-The theme Traumatic Grief comprised three subthemes: feeling that life is empty; hearing, seeing, and sensing the presence of dead; and unfair to be alive. The theme Meaning making Coping Methods comprised two subthemes: social support as meaning making, and religious coping as meaning making. These findings, based on the phenomenological approach, help to better understand the bereaved experiences of the parents affected by armed conflict.

Parenthood inevitably includes caring for a child suffering from mild-moderate illness requiring access to health care. Most childhood illnesses can be managed in the community, and parents are encouraged to attend the most suitable primary care service for their needs. Yet the number of children visiting emergency departments with non-urgent illness continues to rise annually, with child attendance representing over 25% of the total workload.

Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2) is an uncommon hereditary form of rickets characterised by chronic renal phosphate loss and impaired bone mineralisation. This results from compound heterozygous or homozygous pathogenic variants in ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), a key producer of extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and an inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor23 (FGF23). ENPP1 deficiency impacts FGF23 and increases its activity.

Most of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients will experience tumor progression with immunotherapy (IO). Preliminary data suggested an association between high plasma HGF levels and poor response to IO in advanced NSCLC. Our study aimed to evaluate further the role of the HGF/MET pathway in resistance to IO in advanced NSCLC.

Background: Some research suggests that multilingualism confers a cognitive advantage, but this association may be confounded by linguistic and socioeconomic factors. Multilinguals can differ on their first language such that it could be a societal majority- or minority-language, resulting in distinct reasons for- and experiences with- becoming/being multilingual, along with different socioeconomic opportunities. We evaluated the association of multilingualism (Monolingual, Multilingual-Majority, Multilingual-Minority) and socioeconomic status (SES) on cognition among older adults.
