Article Abstract
Background: Viral encephalitis (VE) is one of the common diseases of children with intracranial infection, it has come on urgent, progress is fast, and the clinical features of severe cases may even lead to disability, death, and other serious adverse prognostic outcomes, so seek in early diagnosis and prognosis of efficiency of the relevant indicators to stop in time and take effective means to prevent the further development is of great significance. Neopterin (NPT), as a factor that plays an important role in the process of validation development, has been relatively rarely studied in children with VE.
Methods: In this study, 127 cases of children with VE were retrieved from the TCGA database by bioinformatics, and their amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (AEEG) related information was collected at the same time. The neurodevelopmental status of VE children was evaluated according to the Gesell scale and divided into the good group (n=88) and the poor group (n=39). The differences in NPT expression and AEEG score between them were observed. In addition, the clinical data of 100 children without VE were screened from the database, and the differences in NPT expression and AEEG score between VE children and non-VE children were compared. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy of NPT combined with AEEG in diagnosis and prognosis prediction. Kaplan-Meier was used to observe the effect of NPT high expression and low expression on poor prognosis of VE children.

Background: Between November 2023 and March 2024, coastal Kenya experienced another wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections detected through our continued genomic surveillance. Herein, we report the clinical and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections from 179 individuals (a total of 185 positive samples) residing in the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) area (~ 900 km).
Methods: We analyzed genetic, clinical, and epidemiological data from SARS-CoV-2 positive cases across pediatric inpatient, health facility outpatient, and homestead community surveillance platforms.

Background: Disruptive behavior and emotional problems - especially anxiety - are common in children and frequently co-occur. However, the role of co-occurring emotional problems in disruptive behavior intervention response is unclear. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an indicated prevention program in children with disruptive behavior problems with vs.

Eating disorders are primarily associated with women and an obsession with thinness. Recent research and social media content show that men are also concerned about their body image, striving for a muscular and athletic physique. To investigate eating disorder tendencies among male content creators with a mesomorphic body type (N = 26), a social media analysis was conducted on Instagram and TikTok over four weeks.

Department of Medical Sciences, Neurology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) predominantly manifests with gait disturbances, yet clinical assessments are vulnerable to confirmation bias, particularly post-shunt surgery. Blinded video evaluations are a method to enhance objectivity in gait assessment, but their reliability has never been systematically investigated. The aim was to evaluate the inter-rater reliability of blinded gait assessments in iNPH patients and to investigate how these assessments correlate with the Hellström iNPH scale and patient-reported health status following shunt surgery.

Society for Family Health-Nigeria, Abuja, Nigeria.
Background: Interventions aimed to increase healthcare provider empathy and capacity to deliver person-centered care have been shown to improve healthcare seeking and outcomes. In the context of self-injectable contraception, empathetic counseling and coaching may be promising approaches for addressing "fear of the needle" among clients interested in using subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA-SC). In Nigeria, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project developed and evaluated an empathy-based in-service training and supportive supervision intervention for public sector family (FP) planning providers implemented in conjunction with community-based mobilization.
