Article Abstract
. Early childhood screen-time impacts school readiness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study examined associations between screen-time and readiness for formal schooling among toddlers and preschoolers in Kakamega County, Kenya. A cross-sectional study of 144 children aged 2 to 5 years was conducted using the Denver II developmental screening and ECDI2030 to assess school readiness. Parent-reported questionnaires captured demographic data and screen media exposure. . Participants' median age was 48 months (IQR = 20.75), with an average screen-time of 2.0 hours/day (IQR = 1.425), exceeding recommended guidelines of 1 hour. Children exceeding recommended screen-time had 52% lower odds of readiness, while parental supervision increased readiness odds by 68%. While parental age was associated with readiness, child sex, household income, and educational content showed no significant associations. . Excessive screen-time may result in lower readiness, emphasizing risks in low-resource settings. Parental involvement and culturally tailored interventions are vital for early childhood development.

Background And Aim: Male cat sterilization is often neglected in feline population control strategies due to cultural beliefs, logistical barriers, and misconceptions, especially in developing urban areas. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a veterinary-led, community-based intervention in Malang, Indonesia, to promote male cat sterilization, improve owner compliance, and explore sociocultural influences on participation.
Materials And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among owners of non-pedigree male cats (6 months to 5 years old) in the Greater Malang area.

Background: Although current evidence supports the effectiveness of social norm feedback (SNF) interventions, their sustained integration into primary care remains limited. Drawing on the elements of the antimicrobial SNF intervention strategy identified through the Delphi-based evidence applicability evaluation, this study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to its implementation in primary care institutions, thereby informing future optimization.
Methods: Based on the five domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we developed semi-structured interview and focus group discussion guides.

Telehealth is increasingly a standard and routine clinical option, indicating a changing outlook for SUD treatment from in-person to the more convenient option of telehealth. As populations across geographies increasingly prefer telehealth, more research is warranted that focuses on how where a person lives is associated with telehealth availability. The authors used the Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Tracking Repository (MATTR 2024) to identify telehealth availability among all known licensed SUD treatment facilities in the USA (N = 10,492 facilities).

Upon DNA virus infection, cGAS senses viral DNA and triggers MITA (also called STING)-dependent induction of type I interferons (IFN-Is) and other cytokines/chemokines. IFN-Is further activate STAT1/2 to induce interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and the innate antiviral response. How the innate antiviral response is silenced in uninfected cells and efficiently mounts upon viral infection is not fully understood.
