Background: Child-centred approaches in injury prevention emphasise the importance of practising bidirectional communications and decentring researcher-child power relations to support children's participation in research. To date, however, a dearth of scholarship offers methodological reflections on how to bolster children's feelings of comfort in discussing sensitive topics such as their injury experiences.
Goal: Drawing from lessons we learnt working with children in a low-income to mid-income neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada, we discuss the ways in which our strategies to support their participation succeeded in, and at times fell short of, supporting their participatory needs.
Discussion: Our discussions focus attention on two important areas for consideration in future injury prevention studies: (1) Children's inclusion in research and the demand for them to share experience and (2) supporting children's right to invite and comfort in discussing sensitive topics such as injury experiences. We discuss the benefits of making research fun for children and being sensitive to their needs at preliminary recruitment and data collection stages.
Implications: These discussions can strengthen researchers' work with children by helping them to reflect on strategies that can bolster their desire to participate and feel comfortable sharing perspectives.

Background: The 2020 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care estimated that up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling 12 potentially modifiable risk factors, namely less education, hearing loss, hypertension, physical inactivity, diabetes, social isolation, excessive alcohol consumption, air pollution, smoking, obesity, traumatic brain injury, depression. As more evidence on risk factors emerges, the Lancet standing commission on dementia met to update evidence on established dementia risk factors and to consider the evidence for other risk factors.
Method: We used a lifecourse approach to understand how to reduce risk or prevent dementia, as many risks operate at different timepoints in the lifespan.

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is the association between obesity, diabetes, CKD (chronic kidney disease), and cardiovascular disease. GDF-15 mainly acts through the GFRAL (Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor Family Receptor Alpha-Like) receptor. GDF-15 and GDFRAL complex act mainly through RET co-receptors, further activating Ras and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways through downstream signaling.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation complicates 15-40% of cardiac surgery cases and is associated with various adverse health outcomes including high mortality. Although vasopressin administration decreases postoperative atrial fibrillation in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, its use in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has not been investigated. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of vasopressin use in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective: To construct a risk prediction model for elderly severe patients with pneumonia infection, and analyze the prevention effect of 1M3S nursing plan under early warning mode.
Methods: Firstly, 180 elderly severe patients admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xingtai Medical College from September 2020 to September 2021 were enrolled. Their clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into infected group and non-infected group according to whether they developed severe pneumonia.
