    Abstract Background: Despite its mostly viral etiology, antibiotics are frequently used to treat acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in children. India is one of the largest global consumers of antibiotics and has one of the highest rates of resistance to antimicrobial treatments. However, the epidemiology of antibiotic treatment among young children in India is poorly understood.
    Methods: Using nationally representative household survey data from the Indian National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) conducted between 2015 and 2016 and 2019 and 2021, we estimated the prevalence of antibiotic use among 17 472 children under the age of three who reported ARI symptoms within two weeks before their mothers were interviewed. To assess the factors associated with antibiotic use for the treatment of ARI symptoms, we used multivariable logistic regression models that included sociodemographic, child-related, household, and health care related characteristics, with results reported on the prevalence difference (PD) scale.
    Results: We estimated that 18.7% (95% CI = 17.8-19.6) of under-three-year-old (U3) children who exhibited ARI symptoms in the two weeks prior to the survey were given antibiotics as a treatment. The highest prevalence was observed in the southern and northern geographic zones of India. Furthermore, multivariable regression models indicated that children with greater access to health services were more likely to receive antibiotics for ARI treatment, regardless of the type of health care facility (public, private or pharmacy/unregulated). Additionally, the prevalence of antibiotic consumption was higher among children from families with religious affiliations other than Muslim and Hindu backgrounds (i.e. Christian, Sikh, Buddhist/neo-Buddhist, Jain, Jewish, Parsi, no religion and other) (PD = 11.7 (95% CI = 6.3-16.7)) compared to Hindu families and among mothers with a secondary or higher education (PD = 5.8 (95% CI = 1.7-9.9)) compared to mothers lacking formal education.
    Conclusions: Our findings provide an important baseline for monitoring the use of antibiotics for the treatment of acute respiratory infections, and for designing interventions to mitigate potential misuse among young children in India.

  5. Article ; Online: Is the impact of paid maternity leave policy on the prevalence of childhood diarrhoea mediated by breastfeeding duration? A causal mediation analysis using quasi-experimental evidence from 38 low-income and middle-income countries.

    Abstract Objectives: Quasi-experimental evidence suggests that extending the duration of legislated paid maternity leave is associated with lower prevalence of childhood diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This could be due to a variety of mechanisms. This study examines whether this effect is mediated by changes in breastfeeding duration.
    Design and setting: Difference-in-difference approach and causal mediation analysis were used to perform secondary statistical analysis of cross-sectional data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHSs) in 38 LMICs.
    Participants: We merged longitudinal data on national maternity leave policies with information on childhood diarrhoea related to 639 153 live births between 1996 and 2014 in 38 LMICs that participated in the DHS at least twice between 1995 and 2015.
    Primary outcome measure: Our outcome was whether the child had bloody stools in the 2 weeks prior to the interview. This measure was used as an indicator of severe diarrhoea because the frequency of loose stools in breastfed infants can be difficult to distinguish from pathological diarrhoea based on survey data.
    Results: A 1-month increase in the legislated duration of paid maternity leave was associated with a 34% (risk ratio 0.66, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.91) reduction in the prevalence of bloody diarrhoea. Breast feeding for at least 6 months and 12 months mediated 10.6% and 7.4% of this effect, respectively.
    Conclusion: Extending the duration of paid maternity leave appears to lower diarrhoea prevalence in children under 5 years of age in LMICs. This effect is slightly mediated by changes in breastfeeding duration.

    Abstract Emotional and physical health are strongly connected and should be taken care of simultaneously to ensure completely healthy persons. A person's emotional health can be determined by detecting emotional states from various physiological measurements (EDA, RB, EEG, etc.). Affective Computing has become the field of interest, which uses software and hardware to detect emotional states. In the IoT era, wearable sensor-based real-time multi-modal emotion state classification has become one of the hottest topics. In such setting, a data stream is generated from wearable-sensor devices, data accessibility is restricted to those devices only and usually a high data generation rate should be processed to achieve real-time emotion state responses. Additionally, protecting the users' data privacy makes the processing of such data even more challenging. Traditional classifiers have limitations to achieve high accuracy of emotional state detection under demanding requirements of decentralized data and protecting users' privacy of sensitive information as such classifiers need to see all data. Here comes the federated learning, whose main idea is to create a global classifier without accessing the users' local data. Therefore, we have developed a federated learning framework for real-time emotion state classification using multi-modal physiological data streams from wearable sensors, called Fed-ReMECS. The main findings of our Fed-ReMECS framework are the development of an efficient and scalable real-time emotion classification system from distributed multimodal physiological data streams, where the global classifier is built without accessing (privacy protection) the users' data in an IoT environment. The experimental study is conducted using the popularly used multi-modal benchmark DEAP dataset for emotion classification. The results show the effectiveness of our developed approach in terms of accuracy, efficiency, scalability and users' data privacy protection.

    Abstract Evidence is emerging that cancer cells are arranged as a hierarchy that spans from stem cells to lineage-restricted progenitor cells. The recent development of spheroid cultures with several tissue type has provided new opportunities to assess cancer stem cell (CSC) activity by allowing them to propagate under conditions that resemble the microenvironment for growth of tumors. One tissue type widely used for stem cell investigations is mammary tissue, and the sphere formation assay has been used in both normal mammary tissue and in breast cancer. Here, we describe detailed experimental methodology for generating and propagating spheres from normal mammary tissue and primary breast tumors of mice, patient derived xenografts (PDXs) and breast cancer cell lines. We further describe how these sphere cultures can be employed for coculture assays to assess the effect of tumor microenvironment (TME) on self-renewal ability of CSCs in breast cancer.

    Abstract Barriers to breastfeeding for Black mothers are well documented in the literature. Local context is crucial for understanding and addressing barriers. Our research used the photovoice method to amplify the voices of Black mothers in Chatham County, Georgia. Guided by the sociol-ecological model, this photovoice project explored and identified the social, cultural, and physical barriers to breastfeeding that the mothers experienced. Two additional themes emerged through data analysis: personal comfort with public breastfeeding and the women's recommendations for breastfeeding support and normalization. Lack of physical spaces, lack of peer and family support, the need to overcome the stigma associated with breastfeeding, and advocating for more lactation spaces were commonly stated by the participants. These results led to the creation of a policy toolkit, a breastfeeding policy template, a proclamation to make the City of Savannah a Breastfeeding Family Friendly Community, an online photobook to share the experiences of the mothers, and additional paths of dialogue to increase inclusivity and expand health equity within Chatham County.
