Background: World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, including weight-for-length, are used to monitor infant size. Excessive infant weight-for-length at or above the 85th percentile is a risk for childhood overweight. Although antenatal interventions like the nutrition and exercise lifestyle intervention program (NELIP) have successfully prevented excessive gestational weight gain, strategies to improve the intervention remain of interest.

The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an updated and comprehensive assessment of the global burden attributable to SSBs remains scarce. Here we estimated SSB-attributable T2D and CVD burdens across 184 countries in 1990 and 2020 globally, regionally and nationally, incorporating data from the Global Dietary Database, jointly stratified by age, sex, educational attainment and urbanicity.

Harv Rev Psychiatry

January 2025

From School of Social Sciences, University of New South Wales (Dr. Salter); Department of Psychology, Towson University (Dr. Brand); Harvard Medical School (Dr. Robinson); School of Medicine, University of Maryland (Dr. Loewenstein); The Leadership Council on Child Abuse & Interpersonal Violence, Towson, MD (Dr. Silberg); Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University (Dr. Korzekwa).

Recent global popularity of social media content about dissociative identity disorder (DID) has coincided with increased self-diagnosis among children and young people who have formed large online communities and presented in clinical settings seeking to affirm their self-diagnoses. We situate this phenomenon within a broader trend toward self-diagnosis due to the widespread visibility and accessibility of mental health content on social media. Social media propelled self-diagnosis raises particular questions for the study and treatment of DID due to long-standing debates over whether the condition is traumagenic, sociogenic, or iatrogenic.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the files of patients treated using PFN-A or INTERTAN intramedullary nails to reveal additional superiorities or disadvantageous factors for selecting the better intramedullary fixation method in patients presenting with intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Methods: In this retrospective study, the files of the patients who were operated on for intertrochanteric femur fractures using intramedullary fixation methods between September 2010 and June 2015 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine, were reviewed. The data including age, gender, chronic diseases, causes of fractures, fracture classification based on Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO), the nail type (long or short), the interval between trauma and surgery, duration of anesthesia and surgery, hospitalization duration, amount of blood transfusion, the Tip-Apex Distance (TAD) in postoperative radiographs, functional outcomes according to Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), postoperative complications, need for revision, and mortality was noted.

Article Synopsis
  • Photoresponsive drug delivery systems offer enhanced cancer treatment but face issues with size and limited light penetration.
  • A new near infrared responsive system was created using azobenzene-modified silica nanoparticles that release a drug upon specific light excitation.
  • The design allows for targeted delivery to cancer cell nuclei, facilitating DNA damage and cell destruction, making it a promising approach for effective cancer therapy.

Organophosphate (OP) compounds, developed during World War II, are a group of chemicals used as pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. As irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), they reduce anti-cholinesterase activity and therefore increase acetylcholine (ACh) levels at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Diazinon, the OP leading to the patient's symptoms in this report, is an amber-brown liquid that was once the most widely used insecticide in the United States of America.

Joint degeneration characterized by cartilage deterioration and bone wear is the hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), a condition that worsens over time. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most common effective treatment for OA. Conventional therapy training (CTT) is the standard intervention; we are testing whether intensive therapy training (ITT) provides different results when used preoperatively.
