The objective of our study was to evaluate whether short is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder 7- 8-year-old children.We performed cross-sectional born 1998 Helsinki, Finland. participants included 280 (146 girls, 134 boys) mean age 8.1 years (SD: 0.3; range: 7.4-8.8).

Seventy-four cases of systemic listeriosis occurring from 1971 to 1989 in the greater Helsinki area Finland are reviewed with a special interest effect preceding immunosuppressive therapy on clinical presentation. Of these patients, 66% had an underlying disease, most commonly malignancy, diabetes mellitus, or renal transplantation, and 43% received within 1 week before onset listeriosis.

Children with very low birth weight (<1500 g) are at increased risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Whether this continues into adulthood is unknown. The authors assessed behavioral symptoms of ADHD in a well-characterized cohort very-low-birth-weight young adults who were either small gestational age (less than two standard deviations below the Finnish mean) or appropriate (within mean).A total 162 subjects (small age: N=52; N=110) and 172 term comparison 18 to 27 years...

We tested the relationship of objectively measured sleep quantity and quality with positive characteristics child. Sleep duration, latency efficiency were by an actigraph for average seven (range = 3-14) consecutive nights in 291 8-year-old children (standard deviation 0.3 years). Children's optimism, self-esteem social competence rated parents and/or teachers. duration showed a non-linear, reverse J-shaped optimism (P 0.02), such that middle distribution scored higher compared who slept...
