AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined how following 24-hour movement guidelines relates to cognitive and behavioral self-regulation in preschoolers in Brazil.
- Boys were found to adhere to physical activity recommendations more than girls, with girls showing higher levels of non-adherence.
- The findings suggest that different combinations of physical activity, sleep, and screen time impact preschoolers' cognitive flexibility and behavioral self-regulation differently, highlighting the need for tailored guidelines.
Article Abstract
Background: Adherence to 24-h movement guidelines has been associated with early health benefits, including neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the associations between these guidelines and Cognitive (CSR) and Behavioral (BSR) self-regulation in preschoolers are underexplored. This study investigated the associations between adherence to 24-h movement guidelines and CSR and BSR in Brazilian preschoolers.
Methods: A total of 223 preschoolers (4.76 ± 0.32 years old; 50.67% boys) participated. Physical activity (PA) was assessed with Actigraph wGT3X. Parents reported children's sleep and screen time. CSR was evaluated through iPad games, and BSR was assessed using the Head, Toes, Knees, Shoulders test revised.
Results: Boys showed higher adherence to the PA recommendation than girls (52.2% vs. 32.7%, χ = 0.003), whereas a higher percentage of girls did not adhere to any recommendations (23.6% vs. 12.4%, χ = 0.029). Positive association was found between adherence to combined PA and screen time with cognitive flexibility (β = 4.091 [95% CI: 0.699, 7.754]). Adherence to PA was associated with lower BSR scores (β = -7.104 [-13.52, -0.623]), as was adherence to combined PA and sleep duration (β = -8.813 [-15.794, -1.397]).
Conclusion: This study highlighted differences in adherence to movement behavior guidelines between boys and girls, as well as demonstrated that different combinations of these behaviors can affect preschoolers' cognitive and behavioral levels of self-regulation in distinct ways.

Background: Purulent meningitis (PM) is a commonly encountered infectious condition in newborns, which unfortunately can result in infant mortality. Newborns with PM often present nonspecific symptoms. The success of lumbar puncture, an invasive test, relies on the operator's expertise.

Unlabelled: Despite the fact that canagliflozin (Cana), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an anti-diabetic medication with additional effects on the kidney, there is limited experimental data to deliberate its hepato-reno-protective potentiality. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose remains one of the prominent contributors to hepato-renal damage.
Aim: Our study assessed the novel effect of Cana against APAP-induced toxicities.
Proposal for a non-adhesive single-cell culture technology for primary hepatocytes.

Unlabelled: Primary hepatocytes (PHs) are indispensable for studying liver function, drug screening, and regenerative medicine. However, freshly isolated PHs only survive for a few hours in non-adherent suspension culture. This study proposes treatment with PEG-GRGDS, a polymer-peptide conjugate comprising polyethylene glycol (PEG) and the pentapeptide sequence Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS), to sustain the viability of dispersed single PHs under non-adherent conditions.

Background/objectives: Studies suggest that greater maternal adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet reduces the risk of both maternal and fetal adverse health outcomes. The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between adherence to the DASH diet during pregnancy and the classification of birth weight according to gestational age.
Subjects/methods: Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of 601 mother and child pairs who attended primary healthcare in a Brazilian municipality.
