Introduction: There is a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in First Nations populations worldwide, increasingly at younger ages. This review aims to identify interventions for the prevention of T2D in First Nations children and young people aged 4-25 years.
Methods: A systematic search of both published and unpublished literature until March 2024 was performed using 15 electronic databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ATSIHealth, OpenGrey and specific First Nations databases. Eligible studies included First Nations participants aged 4-25 years without T2D, exploring interventions to prevent T2D. Outcomes included knowledge of diabetes, anthropometry and physiology, diet and nutrition, physical activity, glycemic indicators and psychosocial indicators.
Results: Fourteen pre-post exposure non-controlled studies were included, evaluating nine programs. Programs were culturally adapted and primarily school-based, focusing on individual-level behaviour modification in nutrition and physical activity. Most studies assessing knowledge outcomes reported improvement. There were inconsistent findings regarding impacts on dietary intake and glycemia. One home-based program achieved improvements across a range of outcomes, including body mass index, physical activity and psychosocial scores.
Conclusion: Despite the increasing prevalence of T2D in First Nations children and young people, evidence of effective preventive strategies within these populations remains limited.

Large-scale evidence of a general disease ('') factor accounting for both mental and physical health disorders in different age groups.

Centre for Innovation in Mental Health, School of Psychology, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK.
Background: It is unknown whether there is a general factor that accounts for the propensity for both physical and mental conditions in different age groups and how it is associated with lifestyle and well-being.
Methods: We analyzed health conditions data from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) (age = 17; N = 19,239), the National Child Development Study (NCDS) (age = 44; N = 9293), and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) (age ≥ 50; N = 7585). The fit of three Confirmatory Factor models was used to select the optimal solution by Comparative Fit Index, Tucker-Lewis Index, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation.
The influence of genetic polymorphisms on cytokine profiles in pediatric COVID-19: a pilot study.

International Research and Innovation in Medicine Program, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Introduction: Recent studies have underscored the importance of genetic factors in predicting COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. While cytokine storms are crucial in disease severity, genetic predisposition significantly influences immune responses. Our study examined genes related to SARS-CoV-2 invasion ) and interferon-induced immunity ().

Background: Centrally inserted central catheterization (CICC) is a critical procedure in pediatric care. However, CICC in children poses greater challenges compared to adults due to anatomical and physiological differences, leading to higher complication rates. Ultrasound-guided approaches have been developed to enhance the safety and effectiveness of CICC, but the comparative efficacy of different axis approaches remains unclear.

Introduction: Persistently high HIV incidence among women, especially adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), have drawn the attention of national policymakers, donors, and implementers in Sub-Saharan Africa to the integration of HIV and family planning (FP) programs. According to several research studies, FP services could offer a holistic strategy to address the HIV and FP needs of this demographic by including HIV prevention approaches, particularly HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. Our study set out to explore the obstacles and opportunities that AGYW faced in accessing, using, and continuing HIV prevention and contraceptive services; to develop ideas for novel service models that would allow AGYW to receive integrated, HIV prevention and contraception services; and to evaluate the viability, scalability, and acceptability of these models through dialogues with stakeholders using a human-centered design approach.

Purpose: To describe the temporal trend of endometrial burden in postmenopausal women aged 55 years and above worldwide from 1990 to 2021, evaluate the age cohort effect, explore its influencing factors, and predict the disease burden in the next 15 years.
Patients And Methods: Using Joinpoint regression, data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study were assessed for changes in endometrial cancer incidence rate, morbidity, and mortality in postmenopausal women aged 55 years and above. Age period cohort analysis helped estimate age, period, and cohort effects.
