Published: March 2024

The rise of large scientific collaborations in neuroscience requires systematic, scalable, and reliable data management. How this is best done in practice remains an open question. To address this, we conducted a data science survey among currently active U19 grants, funded through the NIH's BRAIN Initiative. The survey was answered by both data science liaisons and Principal Investigators, speaking for ~500 researchers across 21 nation-wide collaborations. We describe the tools, technologies, and methods currently in use, and identify several shortcomings of current data science practice. Building on this survey, we develop plans and propose policies to improve data collection, use, publication, reuse and training in the neuroscience community.

Effects of population aging on quality of life and disease burden: a population-based study.

Glob Health Res Policy

January 2025

Center for Public Health and Epidemic Preparedness and Response, Peking University, Haidian District, 38Th Xueyuan Road, Beijing, 100191, China.

Background: As population aging intensifies, it becomes increasingly important to elucidate the casual relationship between aging and changes in population health. Therefore, our study proposed to develop a systematic attribution framework to comprehensively evaluate the health impacts of population aging.

Methods: We used health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) to measure quality of life and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) to quantify the burden of disease for the population of Guangzhou.

Background: Infectious diseases, particularly parasitic infections such as toxoplasmosis, contribute significantly to the morbidity and mortality of hemodialysis patients. Toxoplasma gondii infection poses serious risks, especially to immunocompromised individuals. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of latent toxoplasmosis in dialysis patients in Markazi Province, Iran.

Background: Undernutrition among children is a public health concern in most low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and is associated with poor child growth and development. Knowledge about child feeding practices is needed for nutritional policies and programs. Hence, this study assessed the status of minimum acceptable diet (MAD) and its associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Afghanistan.

Time to neonatal mortality and its predictors among preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in northern Ethiopia, 2023/2024: a retrospective cohort study.

Arch Public Health

January 2025

Department of Maternity and Neonatal Nursing, School of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Aksum University, Aksum, Tigray, Ethiopia.

Background: A preterm neonate is defined by the World Health Organization as a child delivered before 37 weeks of gestation. In low- and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia, preterm-related complications are serious health problems due to increases in the mortality and morbidity of newborns and children under 5 years of age. The aim of this study was to assess the time to neonatal mortality and its predictors among preterm neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in northern Ethiopia, 2023/2024.

Background: The positive association of parental phubbing with internalizing and externalizing problems among adolescents has gained academic traction. However, current researches on the negative impacts of parental phubbing have focused primarily on adolescents, with a noticeable lack of studies concerning preschool children, and there is also a deficiency in investigations from the perspective of the Risky Family Model. These gaps limit our understanding of how parental phubbing affects problem behaviors among preschool children.
