This patient guideline is intended for all patients at risk of or living with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD the most frequent chronic worldwide and comes a high burden. Yet, there lot unawareness. Furthermore, many aspects are still to be unravelled, which has an important impact on information that given (or not) patients. Its management requires close interaction between their healthcare providers. It develop full understanding in order enable them take active role...
Undisputedly, the amount of data is growing exponentially and huge opportunities exist to exploit them. New service business models are being built around value propositions based on analytics. Suitable revenue need reap benefits these propositions. However, question how best turn a proposition into for data-driven services not systematically addressed in literature. \ We provide an overview possible services. Based sample 100 start-ups, we apply qualitative analysis identify different newly...
Of the many scientific and medical discourses that purport to explain, analyze, demystify, or even cure autism, few have been as influential in recent decades Theory of Mind (ToM) account, which holds autistic people are incapable intuiting intentions emotions others therefore mindblind, live with mindblindness, a condition separates them from other human beings. ToM is regarded by its more ardent advocates primary deficit autism key understanding cognition behaviors. The article considers...
BACKGROUND: Management strategies for preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome include early initiation of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and titration fractional inspired oxygen may the use less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) to avoid need endotracheal intubation. This randomized trial investigated whether caffeine LISA would decrease intubation in first 72 hours life (HoL) compared CPAP alone. METHODS: Eligible born at 24 weeks 0 days 29 6 gestational age...
Aim To determine whether, and how, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parents want to receive early neurodevelopmental screening information about their child's future risk of cerebral palsy other disabilities. Method This was a qualitative interview study. Parents hospitalized infants born preterm completed semi‐structured interviews. Data were analysed using directed content analysis approach. Results Thematic saturation achieved after 19 Four themes characterized parent perceptions...
Introduction: Neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and subsequent posthemorrhagic ventricular dilation hydrocephalus of prematurity are associated with brain injury neurodevelopmental impairment in the preterm population. Neuroimaging assesses cerebral guides neurosurgical intervention; however, relationship head ultrasound (HUS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters to neonatal exams this group has not been well described. The NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) is a...
Brain injury remains a serious complication of prematurity. Almost half infants with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) develop posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and 20% need surgery for hydrocephalus (PHH). This population is associated an increased risk later neurodevelopmental disability, but there uncertainty about which radiological examination features predict disability. In this study the authors sought to devise describe novel combination neurobehavioral imaging...

Zusammenfassung Die Prävalenz der Fettlebererkrankung hat in den letzten Jahren auch Deutschland erheblich zugenommen. Sie gehört mit geschätzten 18 Mio. betroffenen Bundesbürgern mittlerweile zu großen Volkskrankheiten. gilt ferner als ein relevanter unabhängiger Risikofaktor für weitere kardiovaskuläre Volkskrankheiten wie Herzinfarkt oder Schlaganfall. Schließlich begünstigt Diabetes mellitus die Entstehung einer Fettleber und eines ungünstigeren Verlaufs Fettlebererkrankung. Vor dem...
Background: Elevated liver enzymes and chronic disease are associated with increased morbidity mortality. Broad availability of internet questionnaires obtains representative insights into awareness (chronic) in the general population. Also, these tools may be used to identify persons populations at risk prevent advanced disease.Methods: An online questionnaire regarding disease, behavior own tests was implemented online. During 43 months study period, 210,230 participants accessed...
Objective To create a brief, acceptable, innovative method for self-paced learning to enhance recognition of pediatric heart murmurs by medical students, and demonstrate this method's effectiveness in randomized, controlled trial. Materials methods A curriculum six 10-min online modules was designed enable deliberate practice cardiac auscultation, using recordings patients' murmurs. Principles andragogy multimedia were applied optimize acquisition skill. pretest posttest, given 4 weeks...
Objective: This study aimed to describe shunt malfunction symptoms in children ≤5 years old. Results: In a national survey of 228 caregivers, vomiting (23.1%), irritability (20.8%), and sleepiness (17.2%) were the most frequent malfunction. These also occurred over 1/3 "false alarms" experienced by 75% respondents. Compared with malfunctions, (OR = 1.39, 95% CI [1.05, 1.85], p 0.022) fever 2.22, [1.44, 3.44], < 0.001) more likely false alarms. Caregivers counseled about "most" confident...
Abstract Objectives To determine parental perspectives in a trial with waived consent. Study Design: Biological parents of non-vigorous term infants randomized using waiver consent for delivery room intervention completed an anonymous survey after discharge. Results 121 responses were collected. Most responding reported that this form was acceptable (92%) and they would feel comfortable having another child participate similar study (96%). The majority (> 90%) also the information...
Objective: Infants and young children cannot reliably self-report symptoms of shunt malfunctions. This study aimed to describe malfunction in this population. Methods: National survey caregivers ≤5 years old with a shunt. Results: Of the 228 children, most received shunts when <6 months old; almost half had malfunctions within 6 months. Vomiting (23.1%), irritability (20.8%), sleepiness (17.2%) were frequent symptoms. 15% presented single symptom. Most (75%) experienced ≥1 'false alarm.'...
