As previously, by antibody fluorescent technique the etiology of viral respiratory infections was determinated in small children hospitalized because of respiratory disease in the epidemic season 1994-95. Data obtained were compared with the results from the preceding season. Among a total of 371 patients, virus infection was detected in 170 (45,8%). Data for the whole season did not distinctly differ from those obtained previously; however, some differences were found in the occurrence of the individual virus infections in consecutive months of the epidemic season. The second (spring) wave of RS virus infections in this season was lower and more extended in time than in the previous seasons. Highest incidence of adenoviruses was observed in July 1995. The incidence of parainfluenza type 4 virus was higher in the disease of small children. In the youngest (below 1 month) age group percent of virus infections was higher, as compared with data from the preceding season.

What Kinds of Computations Can Young Children Perform Over Non-Symbolic Representations of Small Quantities?
Open Mind (Camb)

Children can manipulate non-symbolic representations of both small quantities of objects (about four or fewer, represented by the parallel individuation system) and large quantities of objects (represented by the analog magnitude system, or AMS). Previous work has shown that children can perform a variety of non-symbolic operations over AMS representations (like summing and solving for an unknown addend), but are not able to perform further operations on the derived solutions of such non-symbolic operations. However, while the computational capacity of AMS has been studied extensively in early childhood, less is known about the computational capacity of the parallel individuation system.

This proposed scientific statement is focused on providing new insights regarding challenges and opportunities for cardiovascular health (CVH) promotion in Africa. The statement includes an overview of the current state of CVH in Africa, with a particular interest in the cardiometabolic risk factors and their evaluation through metrics. The statement also explains the main principles of primordial prevention, its relevance in reducing noncommunicable disease and the different strategies that have been effective worldwide.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between a history of otitis media (OM) in early childhood and speech reception thresholds (SRT) in later childhood, using the Dutch digits-in-noise (DIN) test at ages 9 and 13 years.
Methods: This study was conducted within the Generation R study, a prospective birth cohort in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Children underwent pure-tone audiometry and DIN testing at ages 9 (2011-2015) and 13 (2016-2020) years.

Reticulocyte Binding Protein Homologue (RH5), a leading malaria vaccine candidate, is essential for erythrocyte invasion by the parasite, interacting with the human host receptor, basigin. RH5 has a small number of polymorphisms relative to other blood-stage antigens, and studies have shown that vaccine-induced antibodies raised against RH5 are strain-transcending, however most studies investigating RH5 diversity have been done in Africa. Understanding the genetic diversity and evolution of malaria antigens in other regions is important for their validation as vaccine candidates.
