Background: Multimodal sensory interventions generally facilitate oral feeding in preterm infants. However, variability exists in forms of interventions, leading to inconsistent effects.
Purpose: The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal sensory interventions on behavioral states and feeding outcomes in preterm infants.
Data Sources: Five databases were reviewed from inception of databases to April 2025.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials of multimodal sensory interventions examining feeding outcomes and behavioral states were enrolled. Multimodal interventions were defined as combinations of different unimodal sensory stimuli.
Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers evaluated the risk of bias and extracted relevant data.
Results: Thirty studies involving 4 multimodal intervention groups were identified: tactile-kinesthetic stimulation (TKS), TKS combined with oral stimulation, auditory-tactile-visual-vestibular intervention (ATVV), and a combined oral and another unimodal stimulation. TKS increased weight gain and decreased length of stay compared to standard care, but showed no advantage over uni-tactile stimulation. Combined oral with another unimodal stimulation accelerated transition time and increased feeding volume. ATVV and a combined tactile-kinesthetic and oral stimulation showed no significant effects on oral feeding outcomes. Effects on behavioral states were unclear. Frequency, duration, and caregiver quality also impacted effects.
Implications For Practice And Research: TKS and a combined oral and another unimodal stimulation may enhance feeding outcomes, including weight gain, feeding volume, length of stay, and transition time. The potential effects on behavioral states remain unclear. More high-quality studies are necessary to further validate the effects of variable forms of interventions on behavioral states and feeding outcomes.

Unlabelled: Forming wound canal is one of the main signs of gunshot wound. Its features are related to the following differential diagnostic signs: presence of gunshot wound, its intravitality, prescription, direction of projectile (bullet) movement, power of used weapon, etc.
Objective: To study the mechanisms of wound canal formation in gunshot injury, the pattern of damage to the biological tissues of its walls (mainly, blood vessels), the features of hemorrhages forming around it.

Background: As information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) become deeply integrated into daily life, the focus on users' digital well-being has grown across academic and industrial fields. However, fragmented perspectives and approaches to digital well-being in AI-powered systems hinder a holistic understanding, leaving researchers and practitioners struggling to design truly human-centered AI systems.
Objective: This paper aims to address the fragmentation by synthesizing diverse perspectives and approaches to digital well-being through a systematic literature review.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine to slow the rate of transmission, causing communities to transition into virtual spaces. Asian American and Pacific Islander communities faced the additional challenge of discrimination that stemmed from racist and xenophobic rhetoric in the media. Limited data exist on technology use among Asian American and Pacific Islander adults during the height of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place period and its effect on their physical and mental health.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.
