Background We describe the early experiences of adults with systemic rheumatic disease who received COVID-19 vaccine. Methods From 2 April to 30 2021, we conducted an online, international survey vaccination. collected patient-reported data on clinician communication, beliefs and intent about discontinuing disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) around time vaccination, adverse events after Results analysed 2860 diseases vaccination (mean age 55.3 years, 86.7% female, 86.3% white)....
To compare sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy to typically developing children. study the relationship between and maternal quality depression.Fifty-seven aged 4-12 years were identified from a UK disability database. Maternal disturbance mood assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Major Depression Inventory. Child problems, Children's Habits Questionnaire, but not variables, compared 102 children.Forty (70%) recruited mean age of 7.8 (SD 2.4). anxiety, night wakings,...
OBJECTIVE. Sleep-disordered breathing describes a spectrum of upper airway obstruction in sleep from simple primary snoring, estimated to affect 10% preschool children, the syndrome obstructive apnea. Emerging evidence has challenged previous assumptions that snoring is benign. A recent report identified reduced attention and higher levels social problems anxiety/depressive symptoms children compared with controls. Uncertainty persists regarding clinical thresholds for medical or surgical...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To determine the prevalence of sleep problems in children with Down syndrome. <h3>Design and setting:</h3> A community study a child population 100 000 England. <h3>Participants:</h3> 58 syndrome aged to 0.65–17.9 years (mean 8.6 years). <h3>Interventions:</h3> Child Habits Questionnaire. <h3>Results:</h3> Compared published data for typically developing populations, were reported have significantly greater bedtime resistance, anxiety, night waking, parasomnias,...
Background Children and their parents report poor sleep in hospital complain about noise. Objective To measure quality noise levels compare these with the home environment. Design Observational within case-controlled study. Setting Paediatric medical wards at Southampton Children’s Hospital bedrooms home. Participants methods were children aged 3–16 years co-sleeping parents. Sleep was measured using actigraphy for a maximum of 5 nights each setting. Median sound bedside monitored overnight...
If we wish to see our STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) broadening participation efforts affect change, must also critically reflect upon broaden scientific approaches studying participation, adopting methodologies frameworks that most appropriately fit the problems questions at hand. In this article, discuss how critical mixed-methodological intersectionality offer possibility of a science deeply understands, contextualizes, addresses complex barriers inclusion....
Melanoma in children is rare. Nevertheless, it imperative that clinicians be aware melanoma does occur childhood. Yet there very little information available on the clinico-pathologic variations, and prognostic parameters of children. This report presents results a multicenter study 102 lesions originally diagnosed as cutaneous melanoma, conducted among 5 Western European countries collected during period 1961–1994. Criteria for inclusion included: (1) diagnosis melanoma; (2) age up to 16...
There are limited published data comparing the information provided by parental reports of sleep habits with actigraphic information. This study compares report using Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire in 91 typically developing children aged 6 to 11 years. The found that duration (as measured actigraphy [ACT]) was longer whose parents rated their child as having enough sleep. Parental night wakings did not correspond ACT measures wakings. findings show and provide differing, but...
Summary Sleep is an active state that plays important role in the consolidation of memory. It has been found to enhance explicit memories both adults and children. However, contrast adults, children do not always show a sleep‐related improvement implicit learning. The majority research on sleep‐dependent memory focuses adults; hence, current study examined effects two tasks Thirty‐three typically developing aged 6–12 years took part study. Actigraphy was used monitor sleep. Sleep‐dependent...
Are daily cycles in urinary melatonin and oxidative stress marker levels (8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine) altered PCOS, is this associated with changes sleep quality? There an association between elevated nighttime 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, poor quality our PCOS study group. Women are known to have poorer sleep. However, there been few studies examining the possible women polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This a case–control of (n = 26) non-PCOS control subjects recruited from...
To review the evidence for accuracy of imaging diagnosis polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).Searches included MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed. Evaluations diagnostic tests PMR were eligible, excluding reports with <10 cases. Two authors independently extracted study data three assessed methodological quality using modified QUADAS-2 criteria.26 studies 2370 patients evaluated: 10 ultrasound scanning studies; 6 MRI 1 USS study; 7 18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET) plain radiography...
Poor sleep quality impairs immune responses and pain tolerance, both key to recovery from acute illness. Hospitalised children their co-sleeping parents also risk emotional lability impaired coping skills when sleep-deprived. We aimed study the experiences of during hospital admissions.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with within a week child's discharge. Questions explored parent child quality, factors contributing this, perceived impact on day-time functioning suggested...
