Longitudinal associations between maternal and child screen use at 1 year of age and child behavior and development at 3 years of age

Young children are increasingly exposed to evolving screen technology. International guidelines recommend no screen use for children under the age of 2 years, due to the potential for detrimental effects on behaviour and development. However, evidence for these guidelines is limited by inadequate consideration of device-specific effects (TV and mobile phone/tablet computer), maternal screen use, confounders such as maternal mental health and importance of effect sizes.

Comparing The Physiological Responses To Cycle And Treadmill Exercise Between Preterm-born And Term-born Adults

People born preterm (<37 weeks’ gestation) have lower peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), a well-established indicator of long-term health outcomes, compared to term-born peers. However, responses to exercise can vary with exercise mode, which has implications for prognostic assessments. 

Environmental exposure to air pollution and pollen and the risk of perioperative respiratory adverse events in paediatric anaesthesia: A narrative review

This narrative review article summarises the current evidence on environmental exposures before surgery. There is emerging evidence suggesting that environmental exposures before surgery, namely exposure to air pollution and allergenic pollen, may significantly influence the risk of these events occurring.

Exploring preferences for interventions to increase active school transportation among children and adolescents in Australia

The observed decline in children's active school transport (AST) across numerous countries over recent decades necessitates targeted, multi-level interventions to reverse this trend. However, data on young people's preferred AST interventions is lacking. This study aimed to explore children's preferences for AST interventions and assess differences between AST users and non-users among primary and secondary school students.
