Abstract It is unclear if SARS CoV-2 infection during pregnancy associated with adverse neurodevelopmental repercussions to infants. We assessed pediatric outcomes in children born mothers laboratory-confirmed pregnancy. Neurodevelopmental of in-utero exposed were compared that pre-pandemic control Los Angeles (LA), CA, USA and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

To examine how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) relate to healthy weight behaviors in children.We examined data from the 2016 National Survey of Children's Health. ACE scores were calculated 6 measures household dysfunction. Outcome included 5 behaviors. Logistic regression models assessed associations between ACEs and controlling for sociodemographic variables.Children 17 years age (n = 32,528) with 0 had increased odds of: watching 2 hours or less television daily (6-12 years: ratio...
The Early Literacy Screener (ELS) is a brief screen for emergent literacy delays in 4- and 5-year-olds. Standard developmental screens may also flag these children. What the value of adding ELS? Parents children aged 4 (n = 45) 5 26) years completed Ages Stages Questionnaire-3 (ASQ-3), Survey Well-Being Young Children (SWYC), ELS. Rates positive agreement (PA), negative (NA), overall (Cohen’s κ) across various screening tools were calculated. detected 51% those who passed ASQ 38% SWYC. For...
Objective. To develop a brief tool for screening of emergent literacy skills in preschool children (3-5 years old) pediatric clinics. Methods. Parents were given an 8-item questionnaire, and the tested with Get Ready to Read–Revised (GRTR-R) screener. With GRTR-R score as gold standard, parent questionnaire was optimized using various combinations questions response weights one half sample. The resulting 5-item then validated other Results. A total 203 patients enrolled. In validation...

Approximately one in 10 children the United States is diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a disability that can negatively affect academic achievement, yet relatively few ADHD are special education. To better understand factors determine which students education, we analyzed Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010–2011 (ECLS-K: 2011). Using logistic regression, looked to see sociodemographic, academic, executive functioning, and behavioral...
: The Early Identification and Intervention for Infants (Ei3) Network is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to improving early detection intervention of cerebral palsy (CP) in California. This paper describes the key (1) awareness-building (2) capacity-building strategies utilized by Ei3 first two years.
We examined whether early medical factors predicted variability in developmental level and trajectories high-risk neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates during the first year of life.
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are defined as “regional impairments describing inflammation and degenerative diseases of the muscles, tendons, nerves, joints, fascia. When surrounding work environment, events (work itself) performance contribute in causing such kind over a time period, then they called work-related musculoskeletal (WRMSDs). It results into range symptoms like pain, ache, disability, discomfort, fatigue, mental stress thus resulting loss time, restriction task,...
