Background: Despite the integration of iron supplementation into routine antenatal care programs as a nutritional intervention to prevent anemia in pregnant women, the use of this supplement for the recommended duration remains low in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Evidence on maternal compliance with iron supplementation at the SSA level is lacking and most of the previous studies have been limited to specific geographic areas. Therefore, the current study used large population survey data from 35 SSA countries to estimate the pooled prevalence of non-adherence and its determinants.

Currently, the restoration of missing teeth by means of dental implants is a common treatment method in dentistry. Ensuring optimal contact between teeth (occlusion) when designing the occlusal surface of an implant-supported crown is crucial for the patient. Although there are various occlusal concepts and guidelines for achieving optimised occlusion, adapting an occlusal surface is challenging.

While planar tetracoordinate (pt) centers have been extensively explored from carbon to other octal-row elements or their heavier analogs, their counterparts involving alkali (A) and alkaline-earth metals (Ae) remain elusive due to the large atomic radius and absence of p orbitals. In this work, we found six hitherto unknown anionic ptA (A4A-) and neutral ptAe (A4Ae) centers through an extensive exploration of potential energy surfaces. The D4h-symmetry ptBe structures in Li4Be and Na4Be emerge as the lowest-energy configurations, and all the other ptA/ptAe structures are higher in energy or saddle points.

Objective: The growing number of adults with childhood onset chronic conditions (COCC) is reflected in the increase of adult-aged admissions to pediatric institutions. Despite national bodies advising pediatric institutions to have a pediatric to adult healthcare transition (HCT) policy, little guidance is available on if or how to include inpatient care. We sought to create a framework-based Pediatric to Adult Transitional Care in the Hospital Context (PATCH) tool to assess how inpatient care of adults is addressed in pediatric institutional guidelines or policies (hereafter guidelines) as a first step towards informing future PATCH guideline development.
