The families of 126 consecutive patients with Haemophilus influenzae type B meningitis were surveyed for secondary invasive H disease among household contacts. A total 120 the contacted. In six cases no contact was possible and medical record reviewed. Some 555 contacts found; 31% (171) under 5 years age. case defined as a isolated from blood or cerebrospinal fluid more than 24 hours, but less 30 days, after admission to hospital index case. Four identified, all in children aged years....
Hemiplegic cerebral palsy affects 1 in every 1,100 children, making it the most common pediatric motor disability. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is an evidence-based intervention that significantly improves upper extremity function when implemented with high fidelity. Despite its effectiveness, CIMT's intensive nature-requiring daily therapy for up to twenty days-limits availability. This study examined caregivers' perspectives on implementing and adapting home-based CIMT...
Prospective studies of encephalitis are rare in regions where is prevalent, such as low middle-income Southeast Asian countries. We compared the diagnostic yield local and advanced tests cases pediatric Myanmar.Children with suspected subacute or acute at Yangon Children's Hospital, Yangon, Myanmar, were prospectively recruited from 2016-2018. Cohort 1 (n = 65) had locally available testing, whereas cohort 2 38) for autoantibodies (ie, cell-based assays, tissue immunostaining, cultured...
Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common pediatric motor disability, characterized by unilateral weakness. Pediatric Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (pCIMT) improves affected extremity function but faces variable clinical integration. This study assessed U.S. providers' awareness and use of pCIMT, educational practices, barriers to broader implementation for more eligible children. Overall, 148 providers specializing in stroke or hemiplegic CP completed surveys on pCIMT...
We studied the epidemiology of Haemophilus influenzae type b infections among children with cancer admitted to Canadian pediatric hospitals. From 1991 2014, 13 cases were identified through active surveillance. Average age was 6.7 years. Six 7 eligible for infant immunization age-appropriately immunized (vaccine failures). Children may benefit from booster Hib immunization.
Abstract Date Presented 03/22/24 This study describes the current landscape of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in United States, with a focus on identifying barriers to its broader implementation increase access this underutilized intervention.

* Abbreviations: CIMT — : constraint-induced movement therapy CP cerebral palsy Constraint-induced therapy (CIMT) is one of the best studied treatments for hemiplegic palsy (CP), which most common types and estimated to affect 1 per every 1000 children.1,2 Therefore, optimizing delivery access has potential a broad-reaching significant impact in pediatric care. CIMT composed 2 key components: (1) restraint unaffected upper limb, (2) an intensive structured program. The pathophysiologic...
