Article Abstract

Welcome Baby, a program that First 5 Los Angeles (First 5 LA) sponsors, provides new mothers with supportive services intended to create enriching environments for their children. To identify mothers in need of these services, First 5 LA employs hospital liaisons who administer a maternal risk assessment tool, the Modified Bridges for Newborns screening tool, during postpartum interviews of mothers. First 5 LA uses risk assessment scores from the Modified Bridges to classify mothers as low, moderate, or high risk; high-risk mothers are eligible for additional supportive services that are not available to low- and moderate-risk mothers. This article describes RAND Corporation work evaluating the psychometric characteristics of the Modified Bridges.

Arterial Stiffness in HFpEF: From Clinical Insight to Bedside Action.

Cardiol Rev

September 2025

From the Department of General Medicine, J.S.S. Medical College, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru, India.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases and is increasing in prevalence due to aging populations and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. While echocardiography remains the diagnostic cornerstone, many patients with preserved ejection fraction present with nonspecific symptoms and ambiguous diastolic indices, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and therapeutic delay. Arterial stiffness-quantified by pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and cardio-ankle vascular index)-is emerging as a key contributor to HFpEF pathophysiology.

Purpose: A network analysis model was used to investigate the network structure linking food intake and mental health among middle school students in Shandong Province from a specific symptom perspective.

Methods: A total of 6179 middle school students aged 11-18 years in Shandong Province were included in the study. The modified Chinese Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) and Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) were used to estimate the status of food intake and mental health, respectively.

Nutritional screening is gaining recognition in perioperative medicine, as anesthesiologists need to assess patients' nutritional status to identify malnutrition risks. Poor nutritional status is associated with increased perioperative complications, including postoperative pain. Effective pain management is crucial to prevent acute pain from developing into chronic pain.
