Higher education can lead to economic mobility, but cost is a barrier for low-income families. Children's savings account (CSA) programs for higher education increase educational aspirations. Early Bird, a novel health system-integrated CSA program being assessed through a randomized control trial could greatly influence families' outcomes. Three preliminary lessons have emerged.

Background And Purpose: Socioeconomic determinants of health impact childhood development and adult health outcomes. One key aspect is the physical environment and neighborhood where children live and grow. Emerging evidence suggests that neighborhood deprivation, often measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), may influence neurodevelopment, but longitudinal and multimodal neuroimaging analyses remain limited.

Aim: Flow disruptions (FDs) are deviations in the progression of care that compromise safety and efficiency of a specific process. Neonatal intubation is a life-saving high-risk procedure required for delivery room (DR) management of neonates with moderate to severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study evaluated FDs during DR intubation of neonates with CDH and their association with process and outcome measures.

Background: Residential greenness is an important environmental factor potentially influencing the development of allergic diseases in adolescents; however, its impact remains understudied in South Korea. This study aimed to examine the association between residential greenness and allergic disease prevalence using nationally representative data.
Method: We analyzed data from 1,130,598 adolescents (7-12th grade) participating in the Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2007-2024).

Background And Aims: Sofosbuvir (SOF) plus daclatasvir (DCV) is a primary chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in low- and middle-income countries. WHO guidelines recommend a half-adult dose for children (14-25 kg) based on pharmacokinetic modelling, requiring clinical validation. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and acceptability of DCV (30 mg) and SOF (200 mg) in children weighing 14 to < 17 kg and 17-35 kg.

Background: Although prior studies have estimated the burden of pediatric surgical disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through statistical modeling and hospital- or household-based surveys, few large-scale descriptions of procedures and outcomes have been published. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of children's surgical care at multiple centers across Africa.
Methods: Perioperative clinical data were collected prospectively from 2018 to 2023 at 17 hospitals in 11 African countries using a preexisting tool.
