CRITICAL RESEARCH GAPS IN TREATING GROWTH FALTERING IN INFANTS UNDER 6 MONTHS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

Critical research gaps in treating growth faltering in infants under 6 months: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

In 2020, 149.2 million children worldwide under 5 years suffered from stunting, and 45.4 million experienced wasting.Many infants are born already stunted, while others are at high risk for growth faltering early after birth.Growth faltering is linked to transgenerational impacts of poverty and marginalization.Few interventions address growth falte

High-resolution mapping reveals that microniches in the gastric glands control Helicobacter pylori colonization of the stomach.

Lifelong infection of Spare Parts the gastric mucosa by Helicobacter pylori can lead to peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.However, how the bacteria maintain chronic colonization in the face of constant mucus and epithelial cell turnover in the stomach is unclear.Here, we present a new model of how H.pylori establish and persist in stomach, which inv
