Background: The prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased, particularly among individuals who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Health literacy is considered a "social vaccine" that helps people respond effectively to the pandemic. We aimed to investigate the association between long COVID-19 and PTSD, and to examine the modifying role of health literacy in this association.

Background: Millions of children fail to meet their developmental potential and experience mental health concerns globally. Evidence is mixed on whether growth beyond the first 1000 d of life influences intellectual functioning and mental health in school-age children.

Objectives: We examined associations of childhood growth before and after the first 1000 d of life with child intellectual functioning and mental health at age 6-7 y.

Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) reclassification has significantly influenced the field of thyroidology. However, the extent of this impact depends upon the incidence of NIFTP in a given population. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to obtain robust information about the actual incidence of NIFTP worldwide by reviewing the published data.

Background: Growth faltering is associated with adverse consequences during childhood and later life. However, questions remain on the relative importance of preconception maternal nutritional status (PMNS) and child growth during the first 1000 d of life.

Objectives: We examined associations between PMNS, gestational weight gain (GWG), and child growth during the first 1000 d with attained body size at age 6-7 y.

Background: Although there is growing evidence on the role of preconception nutrition for birth outcomes, very few studies have evaluated the long-term effects of nutrition interventions during the preconception period on offspring cognitive outcomes.

Objective: We evaluate the impact of preconception weekly multiple micronutrients (MMs) or iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation compared with folic acid (FA) alone on offspring intellectual functioning at age 6-7 y.

Methods: We followed 1599 offspring born to women who participated in a double-blinded randomized controlled trial of preconception supplementation in Vietnam.

Background: Data about the risk factors and pancreatic cancer in developing countries remain limited. We investigated for the first time the role of a number of risk factors (family cancer history, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, inflammation disease, HBV infection) associated with pancreatic cancer among Vietnamese patients.

Methods: We included all patients hospitalized at 4 Northern Vietnamese hospitals (Vietnam National Cancer Hospital, Bach Mai, Viet Duc, Thai Nguyen) and diagnosed with pancreatic cancer during the period from 2017 to 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the effects of TERT promoter mutations and MGMT methylation status on the overall survival of glioma patients, using data from nine studies with a total of 2819 patients.
  • The findings indicate that TERT mutations are linked to better survival in MGMT-methylated gliomas but worse outcomes in those without MGMT methylation.
  • Additionally, only TERT-mutated glioblastoma patients with MGMT methylation showed significant improvement from the treatment drug temozolomide, suggesting a complex interplay between these genetic markers.

Background: Crizotinib has been approved for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) gene fusion. This drug has also been granted breakthrough designation for NSCLCs with MET exon 14 alterations.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in patients with these diseases.
