<b>Background:</b> The major factors individually reported to be associated with an increased frequency of CDKN2A mutations are number patients melanoma in a family, early age at diagnosis, and family members multiple primary melanomas (MPM) or pancreatic cancer. <b>Methods:</b> These four features were examined 385 families ⩾3 pooled by 17 GenoMEL groups, these attributes compared across continents. <b>Results:</b> Overall, 39% had ranging from 20% (32/162) Australia 45% (29/65) North...
Importance Little is known regarding the effect of poor sleep on health-related quality life (HRQOL) in healthy children. Objective To determine induced mild deprivation HRQOL children without major issues. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified secondary analysis focused HRQOL, a outcome Daily Rest, Eating, Activity Monitoring (DREAM) randomized crossover trial who underwent alternating weeks restriction extension 1-week washout between. The DREAM intervention was administered...
To describe parent reports of sleep practices, and examine associations with knowledge child sleep, whether children's practices differ between parents who underestimated, overestimated or accurately estimated needs.Parents children aged 2-12 years (n = 115) attending hospital inpatient day wards were approached asked to report routines, problems, education, household income via questionnaire.Younger age was associated earlier bedtimes wake times, shorter latencies, longer durations greater...
Abstract Study Objectives To assess differences in habitual sleep patterns and states between children adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) control subjects, to explore the relationships sleep, glucose levels, glycemic control. Methods Participants included 82 (5–18 years); 41 T1DM (cases), healthy subjects group matched for age sex. Sleep was measured by 7-day actigraphy single-night home-based polysomnography (PSG) recordings. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7 days of continuous...
To determine whether infants with chronic lung disease (CLD), ready for neonatal unit discharge, maintain cardiorespiratory stability while sleeping supine.Subjects were 15 born < 32 weeks gestational age (GA) and discharge from the regional tertiary intensive care unit. Polysomnography recordings of sleep state, heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation, respiratory effort nasal/oral airflow taken prone supine up to 3 h post feed first position randomly allocated. The main outcome measures...
Physical punishment has been a part of childhood around the world, yet its use, and State sanctioning is problematic.1–4 In 2007, after years community advocacy, parent education contentious public debate, New Zealand was first English-speaking country to achieve legal prohibition physical children in all settings.5 At time, 18th enact such ban. This number now increased 46 countries, but remarkably, other nations have follow suit.6 article provides brief case study long-term attitude change...
Although insufficient sleep has emerged as a strong, independent risk factor for obesity in children, the mechanisms by which leads to weight gain are uncertain. Observational research suggests that being tired influences what children eat more than how active they are, but only experimental can determine causality. Few studies have been undertaken reductions duration might affect indices of energy balance including food choice, appetite regulation, and sedentary time. The primary aim this...
The Australasian Sleep Association would like to draw readers' attention new guidelines on the performance and interpretation of overnight oximetry for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children. OSA is a complex disorder comprising intermittent airflow obstruction during sleep, physiological abnormalities, disturbance range health consequences. It estimated affect 1–3% otherwise healthy children far more common at-risk populations. Despite its commonality impact, non-specific symptoms,...
Earlier bedtimes can help some children get more sleep, but we don't know which children, or what features of their usual sleep patterns could predict success with this approach. Using data from a randomized crossover trial manipulation, sought to determine this.
Abstract Aims: To document the effect of position on oxygen saturation and changes in requirement convalescent preterm infants. Methods: Twelve infants born ≥24 ≤32 weeks gestation, extubated without congenital anomaly were studied using nap polysomnography prone supine, twice weekly until discharge. Mean (SpO 2 ), minimum SpO , mean time with < 90% measured active sleep. Results: Eight male four female [median gestation 28 (24–31) median birthweight 1059 (715–1840) g] had 39 studies. For...
