In order to evaluate parental awareness of the law governing clinical trials in France (Loi Huriet), a study was performed by questionnaire between February and April 1991 in a maternity unit during the days following delivery. The response rate was 59%. 59% of the parents (319/541) were informed of the existence of the law by the media (75%) or their general practitioners (12%). Twenty-one percent (116/541) of the parents would accept the participation of their children in a clinical trial and 74% would refuse. The principal reasons for acceptance were: for the benefit of other children, contribution to medical progress and confidence in physicians. The reasons for refusal were: risk of side effects and unproven efficacy. Parents who would accept had more often received higher education (44%) than parents who would refuse (30%), the latter being less influenced by the explanations of physicians and less willing to accept that a physician should decide for them. Physicians should consider transmitting information directly to parents and indirectly via the media.

Purpose: Assess the knowledge and attitudes of parents/guardians regarding their children's oral health and their preferences regarding the treatment of carious primary teeth.
Methods: A cross-sectional study including the completion of a questionnaire by parents/guardians of healthy children aged 2-12 years attending the Department of Pediatric Dentistry (NKUA). Data were collected through 35 questions regarding demographic characteristics of the participants, oral hygiene and dietary habits, and parents' knowledge of the importance of oral health and primary teeth.
Comparison of plasma concentration and sedative effect of sublingual and intranasal dexmedetomidine in children: A double-blind randomised controlled study.
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand

Department of Anaesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Critical Care, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Delhi, India.
Background: Pharmacokinetics and sedative effects of sublingual dexmedetomidine have not been established in children. The primary aim was to compare peak plasma concentration, time to reach peak plasma concentration and area under the curve with 2 μg/kg sublingual and intranasal dexmedetomidine. The secondary aims were to compare the depth of sedation, parental separation anxiety, mask acceptance, heart rate changes, analgesic requirements and recovery time with 2 μg/kg sublingual and intranasal dexmedetomidine in children.

The polyketide specialized metabolites of bacteria are attractive targets for generating analogues, with the goal of improving their pharmaceutical properties. Here, we aimed to produce C-26 derivatives of the giant anti-cancer stambomycin macrolides using a mutasynthesis approach, as this position has been shown previously to directly impact bioactivity. For this, we leveraged the intrinsically broad specificity of the acyl transferase domain (AT) of the modular polyketide synthase (PKS), which is responsible for the alkyl branching functionality at this position.

Introduction: Indigenous connectedness is an impetus for health, well-being, self-confidence, cultural preservation, and communal thriving. When this connectedness is disrupted, the beliefs, values, and ways of life that weave Indigenous communities together is threatened. In the Spring of 2020, the COVID-19 virus crept into Tribal Nations across the United States and exacerbated significant health-related and educational inequities.

Background: Social prescribing link workers support individuals to engage with community resources, co-creating achievable goals. Most schemes are community-based, targetting adults. Vulnerable populations including hospitalized children with neurodisability and their families, could also benefit from social prescribing.
