Disrupted development of the gut microbiota is a contributing cause childhood malnutrition.
Understanding how members of the human gut microbiota prioritize nutrient resources is one component a larger effort to decipher mechanisms defining microbial community robustness and resiliency in health disease. This knowledge foundational for development microbiota-directed therapeutics. To model bacteria glycans gut, germfree mice were colonized with 13 bacterial strains, including seven saccharolytic Bacteroidaceae species. Animals fed Western diet supplemented pea fiber. After...
BACKGROUND The Childhood Opportunity Index (COI) is a multidimensional measure of neighborhood features associated with child health. Our objective was to determine if COI outcomes across the care continuum in children hospitalized for asthma. METHODS This retrospective cohort study using Pediatric Health Information System database asthma aged 2 18 years from May 1 2021 April 30, 2022. Main exposure COI. Outcomes were categorized into 3 periods: prehospitalization (illness severity), during...
Dopamine regulates reproduction in part by modulating neuronal activity within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Previous studies suggested numerous mechanisms which dopamine exerts inhibitory control over HPG axis, ultimately changing levels of sex steroids that regulate reproductive behaviors. However, it is not known whether these are conserved across vertebrate species. In particular, unknown underlying dopaminergic shared between mammals and teleost fish. mammals, directly...
Abstract The evolutionary diversification of animal behavior is often associated with changes in the structure and function nervous systems. Such arise either through alterations individual neural components (“mosaically”) or scaling whole brain (“concertedly”). Here we show that evolution a courtship Malawi cichlid fish rapid, extensive, specific orosensory, gustatory centers hindbrain. We find hindbrain volume varies significantly between species build pit (depression) compared to castle...
Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a small intestinal disorder found at high prevalence in stunted children, is associated with gut mucosal barrier disruption and decreased absorptive capacity due to reduced intact villi. To test the hypothesis that intergenerational transmission of perturbed microbiota contributes undernutrition by inducing EED, we characterized two consortia bacterial strains cultured from duodenal aspirates Bangladeshi children one which induced local systemic...
Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in renal transplant (RT) recipients. The spectrum of illness ranges from infectious mononucleosis (IM) to post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). In association clinical signs symptoms, virus-specific serology heterophile antibody tests are widely used confirming the diagnosis IM general population. However, these may have a limited role immunosuppressed RT recipients...
This article assesses Chinese and Mongolian relations following the withdrawal of Soviet troops. Starting from 'normalisation' in 1989, study follows three different phases development bilateral relationship: inception, acceleration, ambiguity. Currently, impending transformation global foreign policy dynamics places Mongolia at a crossroads, potentially pushing it into precarious geopolitical 'grey zone'. In particular, uncertainty disrupted relative stability that has maintained under its...

Part 4 MOC centres quality improvement (QI). Surveys the ABP suggest that are dissatisfied with aspects part 4, but reasons unclear. This study sought explore factors contributing dissatisfaction...
Abstract The evolutionary diversification of animal behavior is often associated with changes in the structure and function nervous systems.

Gun Safety for ChildrenGuns are the number 1 cause of death children and teenagers in US.Approximately every 40 minutes, a child or teenager is injured by gun.Children who live home with gun at 2 times risk homicide 3 suicide.Increased sales isolation during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic increase youth gun-related injuries.Caregivers can prevent injuries talking to their about safety removing guns from safely storing if they present.
