Summary: Dental health is closely related to an individual's overall health and diet. A study on prehistoric individuals from three Early Neolithic sites in Germany revealed that approximately 68.3% of adults had dental caries, while the prevalence was lower among subadults. Isotope analysis indicated that these early farmers had a diet mainly consisting of cereals, aligning with observations from other Early Neolithic sites.

Summary: The TCA method's limitations when studying fertility in the past are discussed, with a recent publication critiqued for lacking adequate supporting evidence. Researchers must address serious confounding difficulties when inferring life history parameters from archeological samples.

Summary: This paper applies a skeletal frailty index (SFI) to evaluate the biological impacts of social stratification in a skeletal series from Postmedieval London. The results show significant differences in frailty between socioeconomic groups, with low-SES individuals demonstrating higher levels of skeletal frailty. Additionally, within the high-SES group, there is variability in frailty, indicating that health and mortality vary even within the same socioeconomic stratum.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between cortical porosity in infants and children with age-related changes, femoral growth, and locomotor development. The results show that cortical porosity and cortical trabecularization significantly increase in infants aged 0.5-1.99 years. This is likely due to the reorganization and redistribution of cortical bone stimulated by increased growth velocity and the onset of weight-bearing activities. In children aged 2.0-3.99 years, the reduction in cortical porosity and trabecularization suggests that their bones are adapting to consistent loading.

Summary: The study suggests that residential proximity to greenness has potential mental health benefits, but these benefits vary across different personal and neighborhood-level characteristics, such as gender, age, and urban form. Further research is needed to understand which features of greenness are most relevant to different sub-groups of the population in order to maximize these health benefits.

Summary: An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of mixed Eimeria challenge on skeletal health of Hy-Line W-36 pullets. The results indicated that Eimeria infection has a negative effect on skeletal health, with the severity being linear or quadratic in relation to the infection concentration.

Summary: The amendment of soil with biochar is a widely studied method for improving soil quality in terms of biotic and abiotic functionalities. The effectiveness of biochar-based amendment varies depending on site characteristics, biochar properties, and soil management objectives. This review critically analyzes soil health indicators related to physicochemical and biological properties, highlighting the importance of prioritizing certain basic indicators like soil pH, aggregate stability, and organic matter, while selecting relevant functional indicators based on specific soil management targets in agricultural soils.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of adding different doses of garlic powder into milk on the growth and health parameters of Holstein calves. The results showed that garlic powder significantly decreased respiratory score, the number of illness days, and diarrheal days, and improved the general appearance of the calves. However, garlic powder was not significantly effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

Summary: Critical care healthcare professionals are at risk of burnout and mental health disorders. Peer support and problem-solving approaches show promise in addressing these issues. This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a combined intervention (Individualized Management Plan and Professional Problem-Solving Peer debrief) for critical care healthcare professionals. The outcomes will provide important data for future trials.

Summary: Multiple initiatives related to adolescent health lack stakeholder coordination, resulting in varied indicator recommendations. A scoping review identified 413 indicators from 16 measurement initiatives, with a focus on health outcomes and behaviors. Age specification was available for over half of the indicators, with gaps identified in system performance measurement and younger adolescents' health.

Summary: The quality indicators for evaluating critical care mainly focus on hospital acquired infections, hospital processes, and outcomes, with less emphasis on patient reported outcome indicators. Barriers to the implementation of indicators include operational barriers and acceptability barriers.

Summary: This study proposes a protocol for the analysis of ancient proteins in dental calculus and a combined approach for subsequent extraction of ancient DNA. After testing and optimization, the protocol was successfully applied to ancient tooth samples, preserving the integrity and valuable information of the dental calculus.

Summary: This study describes foot bone anomalies and the degenerative changes associated with locomotion adaptations. The most anomalous bones are the right medial cuneiform and metatarsals. Degenerative changes are more severe on the left lower limb and right upper limb. The skeleton represents a unilateral case of talipes varus of the right foot, with the metatarsals being more affected.
