Long term lung health in children: new emerging threats and preventive strategies

The long-term consequences of early adverse exposures are well known but is becoming clear that early means not just in pregnancy but also in at least the two preceding generations. Furthermore, there are new existential threats to long term respiratory health, some of which have been presented at the INSPiRED meeting in Bologna and are reviewed in this manuscript.

Vaccine uptake in the context of mandate announcement and removal: Evidence from Europe and North America

The COVID-19 pandemic drove the implementation of vaccine mandates to protect spaces and/or increase vaccine uptake, though their design, timing, and scope varied across jurisdictions. This study examines the associations of vaccine mandate announcements and removals with COVID-19 vaccine uptake in France, Italy, and California (USA).

Dose-dependent hepatotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide in HepG2 cells and its modulation by CYP450 induction

In vitro liver models combined with metabolomics approaches offer promising alternatives to animal testing in toxicology. In this study, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of hydrogen peroxide on the intra- and extracellular metabolome of HepG2 cells using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. 

Exploring Goal Flexibility and Mental Health in University Students: A Qualitative Approach

University students face obstacles while pursuing their goals, and these challenges risk undermining their mental health. Goal flexibility has been identified as beneficial for promoting well-being and protecting mental health; however, the relationship between goal flexibility and mental health challenges remains underexplored. 

Development of a web-based resource for parents to support youth mental health: An exploratory sequential mixed methods approach

Long-term antipsychotic use and cardiometabolic adverse effects in adults with non-psychotic disorders: A systematic review

Off-label antipsychotic prescribing for non-psychotic disorders is increasing, often at low doses and over extended periods. While cardiometabolic adverse effects are documented among individuals treated with antipsychotics for psychotic disorders, the consequences of long-term off-label antipsychotic use are not well-known.

Longitudinal Relationships Between Social Anxiety, Peer Victimisation, and Perceived Support Among Children

Social anxiety, peer victimisation, and social support are key issues during mid-childhood that provide important influence in the later adolescent years. While extensive research has evaluated these constructs in isolation and during adolescence, almost no longitudinal studies have evaluated relationships between them during mid-childhood.

Sleep profiles in individuals with rare neurogenetic syndromes
