Medical advances have enabled infants born premature or with congenital cardiac defects (CHD) to increased lifespans. Understanding neurodevelopmental profiles and outcomes enhances the identification of potential challenges helps pinpoint targets for early intervention, starting from infancy. Neurodevelopmental vulnerabilities are documented both populations, developmental delays, including cognitive, motor, language, neurosensory, social-emotional development. Whereas follow up is...
Abstract This study explored the associations between response-bias features, parenting stress, and parent–child discrepancies in self-report parent ratings of psychopathology a sample 153 preadolescents from an inpatient psychiatric setting. Correlational multiple regression analyses utilized combinations dissimulation (FB) defensiveness (DEF) validity scales Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY; Lachar & Gruber, Citation1995) Children (PIC–2; Citation2001) components Abidin's...
We attempted to identify a locus for schizophrenia and related disorders in 24 nuclear families of schizophrenic probands using predefined classification system affected cases that included those most clearly identified as sharing genetic relationship with schizophrenia—schizoaffective disorder schizotypal personality disorder. Initially, we evaluated 8 markers on chromosome 5 the first 12 available genotyping diagnostic assessments and, assuming autosomal dominant transmission, found lod...
The extent to which the Comprehensive System for Rorschach is reliably scored has been a topic of some controversy. Although several studies have concluded it can be in research settings, little known about its reliability field settings. This study evaluated both response-level codes and protocol-level scores among 84 adolescent psychiatric inpatients clinical setting. Rorschachs were originally administered purposes. Among response codes, 87% demonstrated acceptable reliability(> .60),...
The authors investigated the relationship between probands' age at onset of Alzheimer's disease with risk primary progressive dementia in first-degree relatives.Two hundred probands clinically diagnosed and 179 nondemented elderly were recruited from Mount Sinai Disease Research Center, located Hospital Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Demographic diagnostic data collected on 1,398 relatives 955 probands.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed a significant inverse greater...
This study aims to evaluate impact of respiratory and other neonatal comorbidities on neurodevelopmental outcome in late preterm infants (LPT).Retrospective LPT (34 (0/7)-36 (6/7) weeks' gestation) discharged from the New York University Langone Medical Center intensive care unit, during January 2006 December 2010 received follow-up up 2 years age. Neonatal morbidities were correlated with outcomes assessed by performance Mullen Scales Early Learning three developmental visits.A total 99...
This study explored the extent to which similar or discordant response character styles (RCS) affected convergence between MMPI-A and Rorschach findings in a sample of 673 adolescents from psychiatric inpatient setting. Meyer's (Meyer, 1997; Meyer, Riethmiller, Brooks, Benoit, & Handler, 2000) for adult samples were generally replicated that showing RCS across both measures showed moderate strong relationships indicants affective distress, psychosis, interpersonal wariness, whereas those...
The study objective was to assess the correlation between hypernatremia during first week of life and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 months corrected age in premature infants.A retrospective observational preterm infants born less than 32 weeks gestation who had a assessment with Bayley scales infant toddler development III ± 6 age. Serum sodium levels from birth through 7 days were collected. cohort divided into two groups: peak serum >145 mmol/L (hypernatremia group) level <145 (no...
In this study we investigated the reliability and validity of Rorschach Schizophrenia Index (SCZI) from Exner's (1978, 1993) Comprehensive System for a sample 413 child psychiatric inpatients by examining relationships with Personality Inventory Children-Revised (PIC-R) chart diagnoses. Interscorer internal consistency were acceptable. Multivariate analyses variance results revealed significantly different PIC-R profiles those without elevated SCZI scores, significant differences emerging on...
This article describes the development and initial validation of Infrequency-Psychopathology scale, Fp-A, for MMPI-A (Butcher et al., 1992). The scale parallels F(p), that has been developed MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989). Results demonstrated 40-item Fp-A is superior to F at discriminating between faking-bad accurate reports psychopathology, although improvement over was modest, particularly when compared found F(p) scale. difference seemed reflect...
