. Stunting, a form of linear growth faltering, increases the risk of illness, impaired cognitive development and mortality. Global stunting estimates rely on cross-sectional surveys, which cannot provide direct information about the timing of onset or persistence of growth faltering-a key considerat...

AIM: The aim was to assess the impact of nutritional status and environmental exposures on infant thymic development in the rural Matlab region of Bangladesh. METHODS: In a cohort of N(max) 2094 infants born during a randomized study of combined interventions to improve maternal and infant health, t...

Abstract Ocean warming endangers coastal ecosystems through increased risk of infectious disease, yet detection, surveillance, and forecasting of marine diseases remain limited. Eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) meadows provide essential coastal habitat and are vulnerable to a temperature‐sensitive wastin...

Single-nutrient supplementation targeted at specific population groups has become an increasingly popular strategy to combat micronutrient malnutrition. This population-based approach is a pragmatic response to limited resources and assumes that, within a targeted group, the diagnosis of the nutrien...

Aims. We investigate the photometric characteristics of a sample of intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs), a class of elusive objects with peak luminosity between that of classical novae and standard supernovae. Our goal is to provide a stepping stone in the path to reveal the physical orig...

The goal of our work is to establish assessments to evaluate the impact of early risk on cognitive development in infancy and childhood in global health settings. Prior work using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has shown differential brain responses in infants to social vs. nonsocial ...
