Racial, ethnic differences in factors associated with delayed or missed pediatric preventive care due to the pandemic

JAMA Network Open

2023-07-10
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, more than one-fourth of children had delayed or missed preventive care due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings may guide targeted interventions to enhance timely pediatric preventive care among different racial and ethnic groups. 

Authors: Maya Tabet, Ph.D., M.S., of the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, is the corresponding author.

Association between pandemic and early childhood development

2023-07-10
About The Study: The findings of this study showed an association between exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and delayed childhood development at age 5. Variations in development widened during the pandemic regardless of age. It is important to identify children with developmental delays associated with the pandemic and provide them with support for learning, socialization, physical and mental health, and family support.  Authors: Koryu Sato, M.P.H., of Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan, is the corresponding author.

Prevalence, trends in diagnosed learning disability among US children and adolescents

2023-07-10
About The Study: Based on U.S. nationally representative data, the estimated learning disability prevalence was 8.83% among children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 from 1997 to 2021, which was slightly higher than that from a previous National Health Interview Survey study from 2009 to 2017 (7.74%). These data indicate that learning disability is a common chronic condition among U.S. children, affecting about 9 in 100 overall. In this population-based study, no significant annual change was found.  Authors: Wenhan ...

Addressing justice in wildfire risk management

Addressing justice in wildfire risk management
2023-07-10
The frequency and severity of wildfires have become increasingly alarming in recent years, substantially due to the effects of climate change. Rising global temperatures, altered weather patterns, and prolonged droughts are all consequences of climate change that contribute to the heightened risk of wildfires. The 2019-2020 Australian wildfires demonstrated that compound climatic events – long-lasting record high temperatures combined with record low precipitation – can lead to unprecedented ...

Photonic snake states

Photonic snake states
2023-07-10
This study has attracted the attention of the international scientific community and opens up unprecedented perspectives in the formation of frequency combs: it predicts the existence of two-dimensional optical rules, more complex than the one-dimensional ones used so far and offering unprecedented versatility in a wide range of applications. Applications in communications, spectroscopy, or computing Frequency combs have a wide range of applications, particularly in the field of communications. According to the authors of the study, these combs allow large amounts of information to be transmitted through optical fibres in a ...

More menu choices: Migrant orangutans learn a lot about food by watching the locals

2023-07-10
Orangutans are dependent on their mothers longer than any other non-human animal, nursing until they are at least six years old and living with her for up to three more years, learning how to find, choose, and process the exceedingly varied range of foods they eat. But how do orangutans that have left their mothers and now live far from their natal ranges, where the available foods may be very different, decide what to eat and figure out how to eat it? Now, an international team of authors has shown that in such cases, migrants follow the rule ‘observe, and do as the locals do’. “Here we show evidence that migrant orangutan males ...

Chinese Medical Journal study presents new database linking RNA editing and blood cell differentiation

Chinese Medical Journal study presents new database linking RNA editing and blood cell differentiation
2023-07-10
The process of converting DNA to proteins through an RNA is far from straightforward. Of the several types of RNA involved in the process of protein synthesis, a few may be edited mid-way. In mammals, RNA editing mostly involves converting adenosine (A) to inosine (I) through deamination, which can result in a wide range of effects. For example, A-to-I conversion can regulate gene expression in different ways and significantly alter the final synthesized protein. While RNA editing is an essential biological process, it is also a key underlying mechanism in some diseases, including cancer. Thus, scientists have created large-scale databases documenting RNA editing sites in various human ...

Microbial predators cause seasonal fluctuations in wastewater treatment

2023-07-10
The community of microbial predators influences the composition of the bacterial community in wastewater. This explains seasonal variations in the microbial community that affect the efficiency of water treatment. This is the result of a study conducted by Nils Heck and PD Dr Kenneth Dumack from the University of Cologne’s Institute of Zoology. The study has been published under the title ‘Microeukaryotic predators shape the wastewater microbiome’ in the journal Water Research. In wastewater treatment plants, a precisely coordinated interaction of different microorganisms takes place in order to effectively ...

Scientists discover natural repair process that fixes damaged hearing cells

Scientists discover natural repair process that fixes damaged hearing cells
2023-07-10
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how the cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged. That important insight could benefit efforts to develop new and better ways to treat and prevent hearing loss. “Hair cells” found in the inner ear, are important both for our ability to hear and our sense of balance. They are known as hair cells because the cells are covered in hair-like structures that serve as mechanical antennas for sound detection. When auditory hair cells are killed, as we learn in school, they are ...
