The adverse effects of prenatal alcohol exposure constitute a continuum disabilities (fetal spectrum disorders [FASD]). In 1996, the Institute Medicine established diagnostic categories delineating but not specifying clinical criteria by which diagnoses could be assigned. 2005, authors published practical guidelines operationalizing categories, allowing for standardization FASD in settings. purpose current report is to present updated based on thorough review literature and authors’ combined...
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of meningitis in young infants. We evaluated long-term outcomes among GBS survivors. hypothesized that despite reduced mortality, would remain a significant morbidity survivors.Ninety term and near-term infants diagnosed with from 1998 through 2006 were identified 2 children's hospitals. Five died acutely, 5 at 6 months to 3 years age. Forty-three survivors (54%; mean age 6.8, range 3-12 years) consented for evaluation underwent physical...
This study explored the association between mothers' unresolved grief regarding their infant's preterm birth and infant-mother attachment security. We hypothesized that mothers with would be more likely to have insecurely attached infants at 16 months this partially mediated by maternal interaction quality.This longitudinal focused on 74 (age of <36 weeks) who were part a larger high-risk infants. The present analysis included assessment neonatal socioeconomic risks NICU discharge;...
Studies have demonstrated a strong relation between adult attachment security, using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), and infant Strange Situation Procedure (SSP). This suggests that mother’s representations of may influence development her infant’s to her. study both confirms modifies finding in cohort 47 first-time mothers their infants. The AAIs were administered during third trimester pregnancy SSPs performed when was 14 months age. classified Crittenden’s Dynamic-Maturational Model...
Background: The differential susceptibility (DS) model suggests that temperamentally prone‐to‐distress infants may exhibit adverse outcomes in negative environments but optimal positive environments. This study explored temperament, parenting, and 36‐month cognition behavior preterm using the DS model. We hypothesized prone to distress would more fewer problems when early parenting was positive; less positive. Methods: Participants included 109 (gestation <37 weeks) their mothers....
OBJECTIVE: To compare developmental outcomes of late preterm infants (34–36 weeks’ gestation) with born at early term (37–38 and (39–41 gestation), from infancy through kindergarten. METHODS: Sample included 1000 preterm, 1800 term, 3200 ascertained the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort. Direct assessments development were performed 9 24 months by using Bayley Short Form–Research Edition T-scores preschool kindergarten Cohort reading mathematics θ scores. Maternal infant...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin condition marked by itching, dryness, and flare-ups, often influenced genetic environmental factors. Conventional treatments manage symptoms but fail to address the root causes may have side effects. This article explores efficacy of homeopathy in treating AD, emphasizing its holistic, individualized approach. Homeopathic remedies, based on principle "like cures like," aim stimulate body’s natural healing without effects traditional treatments. By...
This prospective longitudinal study examined emerging effortful control skills at 24- and 36-months postterm in 172 children born preterm (<36 weeks gestation). Infant (neonatal health risks), family (sociodemographic maternal risk factors (depressive symptoms, anger expressions during play interactions) were assessed six time points across 3 years. In addition, children's skills, cognitive development, mother-reported behavior attention problems 24 36 months. Analyses documented links...
Temperament is an individual aspect that strictly affects infants and children engagement with the environment it supposed to play a role in acquiring of new competences. Several studies focused on possible influence temperament process language acquisition early childhood reporting not consistent findings. Since maternal input variable has been widely associated infant development this longitudinal study aimed explore quality temperament-language association. We hypothesized association...
Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a devastating bacterial infection associated with irreversible inflammatory destruction of soft tissues. Outcomes include disfigurement, vision loss, septic shock, and death within hours to days. We describe two cases periorbital NF that presented our unit three-month period. aim highlight the key clinical features NF, demonstrate rapid progression disease, need for prompt identification decisive intervention. Both patients fever left-sided swelling...
Infants born preterm are at elevated risk for social emotional difficulties. However, factors contributing to this largely understudied. Within the present study, we explored infant sleep as a biosocial factor that may play role in development. prospective longitudinal design, examined parent-reported patterns and observed parenting quality predictors of infant-mother attachment 171 infants preterm. Using structural equation modeling, main effect moderator models linking with security. Sleep...
ABSTRACT: Objective: The goal of this study was to test the impact maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on subsequent child language competence; higher parental ACEs were expected predict risk toddler delay. Participation in Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV) treatment, which aims enhance responsive caregiving and improve social-emotional development, mitigate association. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design used. data collected at baseline. Child screening...
Abstract Odor perception can both evoke emotional states and be shaped by or hedonic states. The amygdala complex plays an important role in recognition of, response to, hedonically valenced stimuli, has strong, reciprocal connectivity with the primary olfactory (piriform) cortex. Here, we used differential odor-threat conditioning rats to test of basolateral (BLA) input piriform cortex acquisition expression learned threat responses. Using local field potential recordings, demonstrated that...
Infant-directed speech (IDS), the particular form of spontaneous language observed in interactions between parents and their infants, is a crucial aspect mother-infant interaction an index attunement maternal linguistic input to her infant communicative abilities needs during dyadic interactions. The present study aimed explore pragmatic features IDS at 3-month age. effects (birth status: preterm vs. full-term birth), (perceived parenting stress) (dyadic co-regulation) factors on were...

Introduction Curiosity is an important social-emotional process underlying early learning. Our previous work found a positive association between higher curiosity and academic achievement at kindergarten, with greater magnitude of benefit for children socioeconomic disadvantage. Because characteristics the caregiving physical environment impact processes that underlie learning, we sought to examine environmental experiences associated childhood curiosity, in hopes identifying modifiable...
