Researchers found that several common health and lifestyle factors are associated with a higher risk of early-onset dementia, highlighting potential opportunities for prevention earlier in life.

BackgroundThrombocytopenia is a common adverse reaction of linezolid, often leading to severe complications. It is challenging to externally validate directly apply developed in other countries. We aim to develop and validate a risk prediction model of linezolid-associated thrombocytopenia (LAT) tailored to Vietnamese setting and to construct a simplified risk score calculation to support clinica…

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder and an emerging public health concern in India. This review summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, environmental influences, and public health implications of ADHD in the Indian context.
