This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"The birth of a child involves many big transitions, but one of these changes occurs inside the child, who transitions from the sterile womb to an outside environment full of microbes. While this has lasting effects on growth, inflammation, and immunity, remarkably little is known about how gut bacteria and viruses are acquired by infants. Recently, researchers used next-generation sequencing to evaluate microbes from the guts of 28 pairs of twins and their mothers. They found that the majority of the infant’s gut bacteria were similar to their mother’s gut bacteria. Viruses were less similar, suggesting they might be transmitted through other routes. Twins also shared more of their gut microbiota with each other, emphasizing the strong effect of environmental exposure, and mode of delivery had very little effect on how much of the infants’ gut microbiome was inherited from their mothers..."

Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:Explain fetal development during the three trimesters of gestationDescribe labor and deliveryCompare the efficacy and duration of various types of contraceptionDiscuss causes of infertility and the therapeutic options available

This unit depicts the medical model of healthcare in the US, with an overview of the organization of healthcare and the physical structure of healthcare delivery in the outpatient setting, including an overview of the people involved in the delivery of healthcare, their education and licensing. This unit is intended primarily for the student who does not have a background in healthcare, though the topics of this unit will be described at a relatively advanced level.

"Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disorder that causes a severe response to gluten. Although genetic predisposition is necessary for celiac disease to develop, exposure to certain environmental stimuli may also play a role in disease development. A recent study evaluated potential environmental risk factors affecting celiac disease development. Researchers used metagenomics and metabolomics to analyze infants with a first-degree relative with CD. Using samples collected at birth, 3 months, and 6 months of age to compare infants exposed or unexposed to environmental factors, including birth delivery mode, infant feeding type, and antibiotic exposure, the researchers found that many microbial species, functional pathways, and metabolites were affected by risk factors. Notably, C-section delivery was associated with decreases in beneficial bacteria and alterations in metabolic pathways - changes which are implicated in immune system dysfunction and inflammatory conditions..."

This set of open educational resources were developed as a result of the “Training for Last Mile Deliverers/Drivers in Safe and Sustainable Urban Areas” (TRALMEDES) Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships VET project (https://trainingforlastmile.eu/), running from September 2020 to August 2022.
The project arises from this need of the logistics sector to promote road safety awareness and adapted training to the growth experienced by the Last Mile Delivery in these recent years.

"What’s the best way to control pain after a cesarean section? Women who give birth by C-section typically receive a spinal anesthetic, usually with a small amount of morphine to control pain after surgery. A more novel technique known as the quadratus lumborum block, in which anesthetic is injected into the waist area, might be able to provide even more pain relief. But the method hasn’t been consistently studied. Now, a meta-analysis from researchers from the Universities of Ottawa and Toronto in Canada and the Ohio State University finds that the quadratus lumborum block doesn’t offer a benefit on top of or in place of morphine -- but it does improve pain control when morphine isn’t used. Some scientists have reported that the quadratus lumborum block improves pain control after a C-section. Because the anesthetic is given next to the quadratus lumborum muscle, the block might be able to treat the somatic pain of the C-section incision along with the surgery’s visceral pain..."
