|  | | | | |  Asthma and multiple allergies raise the risk of failed oral food challenges Research shows asthma and multi-food allergies elevate the odds of reactions in oral food challenges, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection. | |  | | | | |  Why the first 1,000 days matter most in preventing childhood obesity The EndObesity Consortium’s narrative review underscores that most childhood obesity risks emerge in the first 1,000 days, well before birth, highlighting gaps in parental, social, and policy interventions. Effective prevention demands preconception-focused, family-wide, and system-level strategies built on equitable public health frameworks. | | | | | | |  Maternal PFAS levels can predict children's brain structural and functional outcomes Researchers from the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Finland, and örebro University, Sweden, have discovered that the levels of PFAS in mothers' blood during pregnancy is associated with their children's brain structure and function. | | | | | | |  Food allergy diagnoses plummet after guideline implementation Peanuts represent one of the most common causes of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated, or anaphylactic, food allergies in children, yet a landmark study found that early introduction of peanut to infants may lower their risk of developing this allergy. | | | | | | |  Non-standard baby formula linked to faster infant growth The use of non-standard infant formulas is associated with higher growth rates in the first year, necessitating further research on long-term health effects. | | | | | | |  Review reveals how paternal lifestyle shapes sperm epigenetics and offspring health A new review in Clinical Epigenetics synthesises growing evidence that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures such as diet, obesity, smoking, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and stress alter sperm epigenetic marks (DNA methylation, histone retention, and small non-coding RNAs). | |

|  | | |  Breastfeeding until at least six months helps babies to fight off infections and reduces chronic inflammation, according to a new study. And better understanding the way specific nutrients in breast milk impact the immune system will improve health outcomes for all infants including those not breastfed. | | | | |  Teenagers who experienced higher COVID-19 stress during remote schooling were more likely to become open to trying vaping, which significantly increased their odds of using e-cigarettes and cannabis two years later. The study reveals that susceptibility, not immediate use, was the critical pathway linking early stress to later vaping behaviors. | | | | |  A study published in JAMA Network Open identifies four distinct profiles of Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD), providing evidence that may help refine diagnostic criteria and guide more individualized approaches to care for children and families. | | | | |  Caffeine's impact on pregnancy is nuanced; moderate consumption may not lead to major complications, but risks to fetal growth persist without a safe threshold. | | | | |  Higher levels of screen time in early childhood are associated with lower scores in reading and mathematics on Ontario's standardized tests, with each additional hour of daily screen time associated with a 10 per cent drop in the likelihood of achieving higher academic levels. | | | | |  A new study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis provides some answers. | | | | | An experimental gene therapy developed by researchers at UCLA, University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital has restored and maintained immune system function in 59 of 62 children born with ADA-SCID, a rare and deadly genetic immune disorder. | |
