While there are many benefits to healthy nutrition, adults with intellectual disability often have poor nutrition habits. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the use of a nutrition app and self-management intervention to increase awareness of healthy nutrition choices for adults with intellectual disability. Data was gathered on the effectiveness of the intervention and social validity of intervention components. Through a single-case multiple-baseline across participants design, the mobile nutrition app with self-management intervention was effective in increasing awareness of healthier nutrition items for three adults with an intellectual disability. Future research is needed to replicate and generalize findings, as well as explore additional supports that may be needed for individuals who have more extensive support needs.

Department of Community Health and Geriatric Nursing, Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Older adults receiving home care often face significant safety risks related to medication management due to their chronic diseases and complex health needs. Despite the increasing reliance on home healthcare services, the specific factors contributing to medication safety risks in this demographic remain inadequately explored.
Objective/aim: This study aims to explore the key factors involved in medication safety risks among older adults with chronic diseases receiving home healthcare in Iran.

To explore the genetic cause of a four-generation severe intellectual disability in a Chinese family using nanopore sequencing and to provide genetic counseling and reproductive guidance for family members. Multiple genetic analyses of the proband and family members were performed, including chromosome karyotype analysis, whole exome sequencing, nanopore sequencing, PCR amplification, and Sanger sequencing. The results of G-binding karyotyping, CGG repeats for FMR1, GGC repeats for NOTCH2NCL, and trio-whole-exome sequencing were negative for the proband and his parents.
