Introduction Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have high comorbidity rates and shared etiology. Nevertheless, NDD assessment is diagnosis-driven focuses on symptom profiles of individual disorders, which hinders diagnosis treatment. There also no evidence-based, standardized transdiagnostic approach currently available to provide a full clinical picture individuals with NDDs. The pressing need for led the development Neurodevelopment Assessment Scale (NAS). Methods This paper describes...
Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most preventable if adherence to its screening guidelines through compliance with physician recommendations are met. Lack of access care significant barrier which was decreased by Affordable Care Act (ACA), that may influence healthcare behaviors/practices.

Objective: To explore the interaction between chronic bronchitis and blood cadmium on prevalence of myocardial infarction. Methods: We used weighted US-NHANES data. Multivariate survey logistic regression was to examine associations infarction, concentration bronchitis. Adjusted odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals were computed. Results: There a significant (OR=1.33, CI = [1.01, 1.74]) level presence For 1 μg/L increase in level, people with had 1.65 (1.24 × 1.33) times having while those...
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a heterogeneous group of conditions with overlapping symptomatology and fluctuating developmental trajectories that transcend current diagnostic categorisation. There is need for validated screening instruments which dimensionally assess from holistic, transdiagnostic perspective. The primary aim to co-design Neurodevelopment Assessment Scale (NAS), user-friendly assessment inventory systematically screens all signs symptoms commonly encountered in...
