Previous research suggests that acoustic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) might be beneficial for infants' language development. However, consonants have gained less attention than prosodic and vowel-based features. In the current study, we examined voice onset time (VOT) - a distinguishing cue for stop consonant contrasts - in IDS and adult-directed speech (ADS), and its relation to infants' speech production.

Since the discovery of statins and the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) results three decades ago, remarkable advances have been made in the treatment of dyslipidaemia, a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Safe and effective statins remain the cornerstone of therapeutic approach for this indication, including for children with genetic dyslipidaemia, and are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. However, despite the affordability of generic statins, they remain underutilised worldwide.

In Scandinavia, HPV vaccination programs started in 2007/8; in Sweden and Denmark with HPV vaccination offered to multiple cohorts of young girls, while in Norway offered to a single cohort only. Interestingly, in Sweden and Denmark, cervical cancer incidence in young women decreased markedly from 2017/2018, while in Norway a steady increase was seen until 2020. As the three countries are very similar in other factors important for cervical cancer incidence rates like cervical cancer screening, the observed difference is most likely due to differences in the multi-cohort vaccination.

Background: This study assessed the effect of expectation of analgesia on conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in healthy participants stratified into inhibitors and non-inhibitors.
Methods: A parallel CPM protocol was assessed on 21 women and 22 men across two sessions: baseline and expectation of analgesia, which was induced by a standardized audiovisual suggestion. The CPM assessment involved two different test stimuli (TS): mechanically controlled palpation and the pressure pain threshold, applied to two different regions: anterior temporalis and thenar eminence of the hand.

Introduction: Both physical inactivity and loneliness are public health threats bringing huge costs to society and quality of life. The two health challenges often co-exist, suggesting physically inactive and lonely individuals to be a high-risk group. Health literacy as a concept is understood as a modifiable health determinant, and it has been proposed for promoting equity in future health promotion.
