Summary: A new Home Cooking Frequency Questionnaire (HCFQ) was designed to assess the frequency and type of cooking techniques used at home. Through a five-phase approach, the questionnaire demonstrated sound content and face validity, substantial criterion validity, and adequate reliability. This is the first questionnaire to evaluate how often people cook and which cooking methods they use at home.

Summary: With the development of communication technologies and IoT infrastructures, home automation systems have become popular for providing convenient smart-home services. However, there are security risks in the deployment and application of these systems, which require research on attack and defense. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the security of home automation systems, including system architecture, attack classification, vulnerability analysis, security requirements, existing defense methods, and open issues for future research.

Summary: In this study, urinary CXCL9 was identified as a diagnostic biomarker for acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (AIN) using urine proteomics. This finding was confirmed in multiple validation cohorts and higher expression of CXCL9 was observed in kidney biopsies from AIN patients. This discovery has important implications for the early diagnosis and treatment of AIN.

Summary: The study found that home safety education through an MSC can positively change and maintain home safety behaviors, especially in terms of fire escape plans and having the Poison Control Hotline number accessible. Families with members who smoke or use e-cigarettes had lower rates of installing multiple smoke detectors initially, but this improved over time.

Summary: The study introduces a validated tool called the Pediatric Hypersomnolence Survey (PHS) that can accurately identify pediatric patients with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. This tool has the potential to decrease diagnostic delays and time to treatment, ultimately reducing the burden of these debilitating conditions.

Summary: In France, the number of children enrolled in a HPN program continuously increased over a 6 years period. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of CIF requiring HPN. The rate of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) dropped dramatically as the use of Taurolidine lock procedure (TLP) increased. Mortality rate was low and mainly in relation to the underlying disease (cancer, immune deficiency). Cholestasis and intestinal transplantation remained very rare.

Summary: The security and privacy of smart home systems from the perspective of home users have been extensively researched in recent years. However, a meta-review of 52 papers revealed a gap in literature reviews on user perspectives of smart home security and privacy since the 2010s, motivating a systematic literature review covering 126 relevant research papers published from 2010 to 2021. This review identified the need for further research on holistic methods, interactions between multiple home users and devices, diverse data flow, demographic factors, and advanced conceptual frameworks.

Summary: According to this survey, there are several low-value nursing care practices in home-based nursing care. These practices are prevalent and influenced by multiple factors, such as physician recommendations, care plan requirements, client requests, and team norms. Nurses with higher education levels and older age provide less low-value care.

Summary: This study investigated occupational musculoskeletal injuries in female adult reconstruction surgeons. The results showed that 68.3% of female arthroplasty surgeons had experienced occupational musculoskeletal injuries, with forearm/wrist/hand being the most common site, and some surgeons needing to modify their job performance to accommodate the injuries. The study suggested mitigating musculoskeletal injuries through ergonomic tasks, posture correction, appropriately sized instrumentation, and the use of automated or lighter instruments. Further studies should explore factors contributing to injuries in arthroplasty surgeons and preventive measures.

Summary: This paper reports on the latest refinement of the Finite Element Global Human Body Models Consortium 50th percentile (GHBMC M50) adult male head model by the development and incorporation of a new material model into the white matter tissue of the brain. The white matter is represented by an anisotropic visco-hyperelastic material model capable of simulating direction-dependent response of the brain tissue to further improve the bio-fidelity and injury predictive capability of the model.
