Uncorrected refractive error is a key cause of childhood visual impairment in the United States. As pediatric vision issues are often asymptomatic, vision screenings are essential to identify children's eye problems. Despite the importance of vision for children's health, well-being, and academic achievement, challenges remain in ensuring that children have equitable access to vision screenings and follow-up eye care.

While pediatric mental health emergencies are increasing in frequency and severity, psychiatric resources remain concentrated in tertiary care facilities. Telepsychiatry has successfully mitigated these challenges in rural emergency departments (EDs), suggesting potential benefits for urban EDs that lack psychiatric resources. We implemented telepsychiatry in an urban ED to reduce ED length of stay and the need for transferring pediatric patients with mental and behavioral health complaints.

Cell-interface engineering is a way to functionalize cells through direct or indirect self-assembly of functional materials around the cells, showing an enhancement to cell functions. Among the materials used in cell-interface engineering, natural biomolecules play pivotal roles in the study of biological interfaces, given that they have good advantages such as biocompatibility and rich functional groups. In this review, we summarize and overview the development of studies of natural biomolecules that have been used in cell-biointerface engineering and then review the five main types of biomolecules used in constructing biointerfaces, namely DNA polymers, amino acids, polyphenols, proteins and polysaccharides, to show their applications in green energy, biocatalysis, cell therapy and environmental protection and remediation.

Background: As the population ages, the subject of elder abuse has become more prominent, with psychological abuse of older people being particularly prevalent. This leads to a higher incidence of anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems among older people, reducing their quality of life, and even jeopardizing their safety.
Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate psychological abuse among home-dwelling older people in Northern China and its influencing factors.
