Department of Mechanical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the importance of the uterus and its biomechanical properties in supporting healthy pregnancies, identifying how alterations can lead to complications.
- Researchers analyzed the nonhuman primate (NHP) uterus at different stages of pregnancy to understand its micro-mechanical properties and composition.
- Key findings showed distinct stiffness and hydration levels in the endometrium-decidua layer, with NHP uterine properties closely resembling human data, affirming NHPs as useful models for human uterine biomechanical studies.

Antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, or "superbugs," cause more than 35 000 deaths and more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections in the US each year. Worldwide, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has claimed at least 700 000 lives per year, including 230 000 from multi-drug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis.

A large body of existing literature suggests associations between perceptions of the environment and physical activity status, but very few studies have examined perceptions among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of the active living environment in Hawai'i in rural communities with a high proportion of NHPI. A total of thirteen adults were purposefully selected to participate in the study, and the Photovoice method was used to capture their perceptions.

Clinical acumen is often used to assess families' motivation prior to initiating pediatric obesity management due to a lack of available tools. The purpose of this pilot study was to (i) develop and (ii) pilot test the "Readiness and Motivation Interview for Families" (RMI-Family) in pediatric weight management. We conducted 5 focus groups with parents (n = 15), youth with obesity (n = 11), and health care providers (n = 8) to explore perceptions of barriers to making healthy behaviour changes, which led to the creation of the RMI-Family as a semi-structured interview.
