Specialist paediatric health services for OI were highly valued. The need for more emotional support and improved coordination of adult health services was highlighted.

Our findings allow a better understanding of the day-to-day experiences of individuals and families affected with OI. Supporting emotional well-being needs greater attention from policy makers and researchers. Improvements to the coordination of health services for adults with OI are needed and an in-depth exploration of young people's support needs is warranted with research focused on support through the teenage years.

Aspects of the midwifery workplace culture have previously been measured as negative with limited leadership or support. Support for midwives is essential for them to face the complexity and workloads in Australian maternity units.

Understanding the culture of the midwifery workplace is important to develop strategies to stem workforce attrition and to optimise care of women and their families.

This study aimed to assess midwives' perceptions of workplace culture in two maternity units in Sydney, Australia, and compare the results with a national study using the same validated instrument.

This study reports results using the Australian Midwifery Workplace Culture instrument (n = 49 midwives) and stakeholder groups (n = 10). Simple descriptive statistics were used, and the qualitative responses were analysed thematically.

Compared to the national sample, participants rated their workplace more favourably, especially their relationships with managers and colleagues. buy M3541 Over one-third (36.7%) considered tect and understanding were extremely important to midwives, as were adequate staffing levels, teamwork and opportunities for further education.

To investigate postnatal growth patterns and their relationship with the neurodevelopment of preterm infants born small for gestational age (SGA).

This retrospective cohort study analyzed 90 infants born SGA with a birthweight <1500g or gestational age <32 weeks. Length, weight, and head circumference (HC) were recorded at birth, 35 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), 40 weeks PMA, and 4, 9, and 18 months corrected age (CA). Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed using the Bayley-III scales at 18 months CA.

The Z-score of HC in SGA infants increased from birth to 40 weeks PMA. Failure of head growth catch-up to the 10th percentile by four months CA and all three parameters by nine months CA were associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Z-score changes in head growth between birth and 35 weeks PMA were significantly associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes (p=0.006; adjusted odds ratio, 6.964; 95% confidence interval 1.763-27.506).

Head growth trajectory during neonatal intensive care unit stay is associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm SGA infants. If head growth catch-up is achieved by four months CA and length and weight catch-up by nine months CA, preterm SGA infants are predicted to have optimal neurodevelopment at 18 months CA.

It is characterised by an attack mainly affecting the respiratory system. There is renal involvement which is characterised by three main types of damage, acute tubular necrosis occurring in the most severe cases, proximal tubulopathy which is a prognostic marker of the disease and segmental and focal hyalinosis occurring in a genetically predisposed terrain. The pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 renal involvement is not yet defined. The direct role of the virus is debated, whereas the cytokine storm and the hypoxic and thrombotic complications seem more important. The long-term outcome of the renal damage appears to be quite good. Long-term follow-up will allow us to say whether the renal damage is part of the long COVID.Milk and dairy products provide highly sustainable concentrations of essential amino acids and other required nutrients for humans; however, amount of milk currently produced per dairy cow globally is inadequate to meet future needs. Higher performing dairy cows and herds produce more milk with less environmental impact per kg than lower performing cows and herds. In 2018, 15.4% of the world's dairy cows produced 45.4% of the world's dairy cow milk, reflecting the global contribution of high-performing cows and herds. In high-performing herds, genomic evaluations are utilized for multiple trait selection, welfare is monitored by remote sensing, rations are formulated at micronutrient levels, health care is focused on prevention and reproduction is managed with precision. Higher performing herds require more inputs and generate more waste products per cow, thus innovations in environmental management on such farms are essential for lowering environmental impacts. Our focus is to provide perspectives on technologies and practices that contribute most to sustainable production of milk from high-performing dairy cows and herds.The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a family of chromatin regulators and critical for the maintenance of cellular identity. The PcG machinery can be categorized into at least three multi-protein complexes, namely Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), PRC2, and Polycomb Repressive DeUBiquitinase (PR-DUB). Their deregulation has been associated with human cancer initiation and progression. Here we review the updated understanding for PcG proteins in transcription regulation and DNA damage repair and highlight increasing links to the hallmarks in cancer. Accordingly, we discuss some of the recent advances in drug development or strategies against cancers caused by the gain or loss of PcG functions.

The presence of chronic low-grade inflammation, commonly identified in patients with severe obesity, alters iron homeostasis and indicators of iron status, fostering the development of updated guidelines for the diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID). Current recommended diagnostic thresholds for ID in obesity derived from expert opinion include a ferritin level of <30 ng/mL and/or transferrin saturation (TSAT) < 20%. Earlier studies of ID among candidates for metabolic surgery using low levels of ferritin or iron as diagnostic thresholds demonstrated a prevalence of 5%-20%.

Using the current recommended diagnostic thresholds for ID, this study measures the prevalence of ID in a large cohort of surgical candidates and its relationship to surgical outcomes.

Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Pennsylvania.

The study cohort included 3,723 patients who underwent pre- operative nutritional assessment which included markers of iron nutrition over the period 2004-2018.

The cohort included 2,988 women (80AT < 20%. ID in the presence of inflammation is often unrecognized and has implications regarding surgical outcomes after metabolic surgery.

The prevalence of ID among surgical candidates (45.4%) is more than twice that identified as ID in earlier studies. ID was commonly identified in the absence of anemia. The most severe ID was found in those with a serum ferritin level less then 30 ng/mL and TSAT less then 20%. ID in the presence of inflammation is often unrecognized and has implications regarding surgical outcomes after metabolic surgery.

Bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) is an established safe, effective, and durable treatment for obesity and its complications. However, there is still a paucity of evidence on surgery outcomes in patients suffering from extreme obesity.

This study aimed to evaluate outcomes of BMS in weight loss and the resolution of co-morbidities in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥70kg/m

.

National Health Service and private hospitals in the United Kingdom.

This cohort study analyzed prospectively collected records from the UK National Bariatric Surgery Registry of patients with a BMI ≥70 kg/m

undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), or adjustable gastric band (AGB) between January 2009 and June2014.

There were 230 patients (64% female) eligible for inclusion in the study 22 underwent AGB; 102 underwent SG, and 106 underwent RYGB. Preoperative weight and BMI values were comparable (76 ± 7 kg/m

for AGB; 75 ± 5 kg/m

for SG; 74 ± 5 kg/m

for RYGB). The median postoperativ an acceptable safety profile and is associated with good medium-term clinical outcomes. RYGB and SG are associated with better weight loss and great improvements in co-morbidities than AGB. Given the noninferiority of SG outcomes and SG's potential for further conversion to other BMS procedures if required, SG may be the best choice for primary BMS in patients with extreme obesity.Social inequities have many health effects; one of these is a potential relationship to sleep disturbances. Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important factor that contributes to social inequities. SES is a marker of living conditions and habits that influence health by way of different processes, including stress-related mechanisms. However, a systematic review of the relationship between SES and objectively measured sleep parameters has not been conducted. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to examine the relationship between SES and sleep parameters measured with actigraphy in the general population. Nineteen articles were identified and included from a keyword search in Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS, following PRISMA guidelines. For an article to be included, it had to have a measure of SES and also, an actigraphy-based measure of sleep. For, included studies, qualitative and quantitative data were extracted, and study quality was assessed with The National Institung actigraphy with current subjective measures for utilization in clinical practice.

Ischemic stroke with cognitive impairment is a considerable risk factor for developing dementia. Identifying imaging markers of cognitive impairment following ischemic stroke will help to develop prevention strategies against post-stroke dementia.

We investigated the hippocampal functional connectivity (FC) pattern following ischemic stroke, using resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI). Thirty-three cognitively impaired patients after ischemic stroke and sixteen age-matched controls with no known history of neurological disorder were recruited for the study. No patient had a direct ischaemic insult to hippocampus on the examination of brain imaging. Seven subfields of hippocampus were used as seeds region for FC analyses.

Across all hippocampal subfields, FC with the inferior parietal lobule was reduced in stroke patients as compared with healthy controls. This decreased FC included both supramarginal gyrus and angular gyrus. The FC of hippocampal subfields with cerebellum was increased. Importantly, the degree of the altered FC between hippocampal subfields and inferior parietal lobule was associated with their impaired memory function.
