<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Background</h3> We analyze the safety and tolerability of trofinetide provide a preliminary evaluation its efficacy in adolescent adult males with fragile X syndrome. <h3>Methods</h3> This study was an exploratory, phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group orally administered 72 Subjects were randomly assigned 1:1:1 ratio to 35 or 70 mg/kg twice daily placebo for 28 days. Safety assessments included adverse events, clinical laboratory tests,...
Understanding why children die is necessary to implement strategies prevent future deaths and improve the health of any community. Child fatality review teams (CFRTs) have existed since 1970s provide a framework ensure that proper questions are asked about child’s death. CFRTs vital function in community preventable causes identified. Pediatricians members because they medical expertise context around All should pediatric physician representation, results from team meetings inform public...
After a sudden infant death, parents and caregivers need accurate open communication about why their died. Communicating tragic news child’s death to families is difficult. Shared consistent terminology essential for pediatricians, other physicians, nonphysician clinicians improve with among themselves. When do not have complete information child died, pediatricians will be able support them through the process make appropriate referrals pediatric specialty mental health care. Families can...
In Brief Purpose: To identify the efficacy of Bayley Scales Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSID-III), Screening Test–Gross Motor Subtest (GMS) in identifying infants who are accepted for early intervention services. Methods: This retrospective study included 93 with a neonatal intensive care experience participated 6-month developmental assessment follow-up visit. All were examined using BSID-III Test–GMS Alberta Scale. A binary logical regression analysis was used to...
The neurodevelopmental outcome of children with repaired congenital heart defect has risen in importance improved survival. This study compares outcomes who had CHD single ventricle physiology those two-ventricle physiology.Participants included 112 infants discharged from the NICU between February 1999 to August 2006. 12 a known genetic were excluded.

Extremely low birth weight premature infants are at risk for poor neurodevelopmental outcome. Postnatal dexamethasone has often been used in to prevent or treat bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and this drug is thought by some affect We retrospectively examined the effect of steroid on early neurodevelopment. Dexamethasone exposure was associated with an adverse outcome a stronger predictor than other accepted factors. If used, should be these high-risk as short period possible.
Developmental TIPS (Tracking Infants Progress Statewide) is a project that performs statewide developmental follow-up of infants from the major neonatal intensive care units throughout Nebraska. enrolls who were in unit for at least 48 hours, regardless child's perceived risk neurodevelopmental disability. The goals this program tracking are to standardize system state and gather outcome data on population young children. This supports parent-child interactions promotes health safety within...
The use of postnatal dexamethasone in premature newborns can be associated with a deleterious neurodevelopmental outcome. effect hydrocortisone on developmental outcome these patients is less clear. We therefore sought to examine the early newborns. retrospectively examined during first 2 years life infants <29 weeks' gestation at birth. Even though was used greater risk for poor outcome, its use, unless prolonged >7 days, generally not worse or higher rate referral intervention. A short...

Abstract Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is common among children. Fortunately, ADHD highly treatable with medication. The purpose of this article to serve as a primer on medication treatment for school psychologists. discusses the available stimulant and nonstimulant ADHD.

Ventilation practices have changed significantly since the initial reports in mid 1980 of successful use permissive hypercapnia and spontaneous ventilation [often called gentle (GV)] infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). However, there has been little standardization these or physiologic limits that define GV. We sought to ascertain among Diaphragmatic Hernia Research Exploration; Advancing Molecular Science (DHREAMS) centers' GV neonatal management CDH. Pediatric surgeons...

To determine if population density (rural vs urban) in a child's home community influenced the decision of eligibility for early intervention (EI) services.The sample included 356 infants with gestational age <31 weeks referred from statewide child find program an evaluation EI services. A binary logistic regression analysis was completed to which variables predicted acceptance into services.Infants less than 31 gestation residing rural areas were more likely be eligible services premature...
Sitting delays in infants born preterm compound cognitive and language deficits. This retrospective study examines differences prematurity-related risk compares developmental outcomes between sitters nonsitters at 6 months' adjusted age.A total of 105 graduates the neonatal intensive care unit met inclusion criteria. Infant demographic medical profiles 6-month Bayley Scales Development-3rd edition (BSID-III) scores were retrieved. Infants who sat with hands free greater than 60 seconds...
