In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with short stature, mental health issues merit special attention. It is widely acknowledged that the psychological well-being of children with short stature is lower than that of their peers with normal height. Therefore, during the diagnosis, treatment, and care of short stature, it is crucial to actively monitor the mental health of these children, promptly identify potential psychological and behavioral issues, and intervene accordingly. Such measures play a positive role in enhancing the quality of life of these children and improving their physical and mental health. This article analyses and discusses the current state of psychological assessment and psycho-behavioral interventions for children with short stature, aiming to provide insights for improving their mental health.

Preserving brain health by minimizing microplastic output from resin histology.

J Histotechnol

Mechanical Engineering, Orthopedic Bioengineering Research Laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, USA.

With an increasing concentration of microplastics (MPs) in every biome, laboratories with a focus on creating histology slides from resin-embedded specimens could be partially responsible for expanding the emission of microscopic resinous particles into the environment. With current research elucidating harmful health impacts from MPs, releasing them incautiously is arguably unethical and, in the near future, plausibly illegal. The Orthopedic Bioengineering Research Laboratory (OBRL) is in Colorado, a state known not only for its natural beauty but also for its increasing number of legislative amendments aimed at reducing plastic pollution.

The ability of environmental cues to trigger alcohol-seeking behaviours is thought to facilitate problematic alcohol use. Individuals' tendency to attribute incentive salience to cues may increase the risk of addiction. We sought to study the relationship between incentive salience and alcohol addiction using non-preferring rats to model the heterogeneity of human alcohol consumption, investigating both males and females.
