Background: We analyzed the impact of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) andPCV13 inoculation on nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage of (Sa), (Sp), (Mc)and (Hi) in healthy children under 5 years old inBeijing, China.
Research Design And Methods: NP swabs were taken from healthy childrenseeking routine well-child care at the pediatricpreventive health clinic. NP swabs were frozenin Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) medium and stored at -80°C, and bacterial was detectedby culture.
Results: From December 2019 to November 2021, 1939children were enrolled, among whom 278 (14.3%) were found to carry Sa isolates,115 (5.9%) Sp, 39 (2.0%) Mc, and 6 (0.3%) Hi. The carriage of Sa was highest in infants under 6 months, negativelycorrelated with Sp and Mc. The Sa carriage rate in infants below six monthsof age rose from 26.7% in pre-NPIs to 32.7% in post-NPIs early. The13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) uptake rose from 42.3% in December2019 to 62.3% by October 2021.
Conclusions: The broad applicationof NPIs caused a decline in Sp and Mc carriage among children under five yearsold, accompanied by an elevation in theSa carriage rate among infants.

Sleep deprivation is a growing concern in cardiovascular risk, causing physiological disruptions like autonomic dysregulation and inflammation. Recent research indicates that sleep deprivation increases sympathetic nervous activity while decreasing parasympathetic activity, leading to increased blood pressure, impaired endothelial function, and heightened inflammation. Exercise has emerged as a non-pharmacological approach to increase cardiovascular health.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the sebaceous glands, with approximately 80% of individuals experiencing it at some point in their lives. Among adolescents, the incidence is reported to exceed 85%. The disease can significantly impact both physical and emotional aspects of a person's quality of life, leading to permanent scarring, poor self-image, depression, and anxiety.

Background: The global rise in the older population, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, has heightened the impact of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), responsible for 74% of global deaths and the leading cause for years lived with disability. Physical activity (PA) has proven to manage NCDs; however, 80% of older adults in sub-Saharan Africa engage in low-to-moderate PA levels.
Objectives: This literature review explores current evidence on the effects of PA on ageing and NCDs in older people in sub-Saharan Africa.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major global public health concern. In this study, we examined the comparative efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions within East Asian traditional medicine (EATM-NPI) for enhancing pulmonary function and exercise capacity in patients with stable COPD. A thorough search of electronic databases conducted until May 22, 2022, identified studies employing EATM-NPI in such patients.
