Resistance Training for Children and Adolescents

This clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics synthesizes current research, concluding that resistance training is a safe and beneficial component of physical activity for children and adolescents when properly supervised and executed. It highlights the positive outcomes on muscular fitness, athletic performance, and injury reduction, while dispelling common misconceptions about its risks. The report provides guidelines for implementing developmentally appropriate resistance training programs.

Evaluation of the evidence on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders using the Navigation Guide methodology

This review found a possible association between taking acetaminophen during pregnancy and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) like ADHD and autism in children. However, the evidence comes mainly from observational studies, which can't prove cause-and-effect, and the review acknowledges limitations and potential residual confounding. While cautious acetaminophen use is advised, the authors emphasize the need to balance this with risks of untreated fever/pain and call for research into safer alternatives.

Longitudinal metabolic profiling of women using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors during pregnancy

In this observational study of pregnant women, SSRI use was associated with small alterations in lipid metabolism, mainly impacting lipoprotein composition. While statistically significant, the changes were minor compared to normal pregnancy fluctuations and their clinical relevance is uncertain. More research is needed to understand the link between SSRI use during pregnancy and fetal development.

Associations of adolescent menstrual symptoms with school absences and educational attainment: analysis of a prospective cohort study

This longitudinal study found that teenage girls who reported heavy bleeding and menstrual pain missed more school and performed worse on their GCSE exams. The use of administrative data for absence and exam results strengthened the objectivity of the outcomes. However, the study relied on self-reported symptoms and had a significant portion of the original sample excluded due to missing data.

A western dietary pattern during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood and adolescence

This large prospective study suggests that a "Western" diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of ADHD and possibly autism in children. The findings were supported by blood metabolite analyses and replicated for ADHD in three additional cohorts. The association was stronger in children with a higher genetic risk and those born to mothers with a higher BMI, especially in males.

Analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children: Developmental delays, asthma, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders

This study on children from three medical practices found higher rates of developmental delays, asthma, and ear infections among vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children. However, a significant portion of children didn't receive all recommended vaccines, and the study lacked important demographic information, limiting its conclusions. Also, it is unclear whether the effect estimates would remain after controlling for parental education, which is known to be linked to vaccination hesitancy.

Faktor Penyebab Stunting Pada Anak: Tinjauan Literatur

This literature review examines the factors associated with stunting in children, including maternal knowledge and parenting style, nutritional intake, low birth weight, and family economic status. The review suggests that these factors are inter-related and contribute to the occurrence of stunting, highlighting the vulnerability of children during their golden age of development.

Antioxidants for the Prevention and Treatment of Non-communicable Diseases

Antioxidants combat free radicals, potentially preventing or treating non-communicable diseases like aging, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues. They are found naturally in plants, animals, and microorganisms and can also be synthesized, although synthetic versions have potential safety concerns.

Trends in prevalence and incidence of chronic respiratory diseases from 1990 to 2017

While the total number of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) cases increased globally, age-standardized incidence rates for most CRDs decreased between 1990 and 2017, likely due to factors like population growth. Asthma and COPD contributed significantly to the overall CRD burden, and disparities were observed across regions and demographics.
