<h3>Background:</h3> Peripheral intravenous catheterization in children is challenging, and success rates vary greatly. We conducted a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of ultrasound or near-infrared vascular imaging guide would be more effective than standard approach achieving successful catheter placement on first attempt. <h3>Methods:</h3> enrolled convenience sample 418 pediatric emergency department who required peripheral between June 2010 August 2012....
The evaluation and management of acute spondylolysis remains unclear in part because outcome data that are primarily subjective. aim this study was to evaluate monitor these patients objectively using quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Thirty-four were so observed clinically between 1987 1996 studied with an initial at least one follow-up SPECT scintigram. Initial radiographs planar bone scans failed demonstrate the pars lesion 53 19% patients, respectively....

<i>Background:</i> Most adults in primary care are overweight or obese; two thirds of patients with weight problems have other obesity-related conditions. The study objective was to explore the feasibility a obesity intervention based on transtheoretical model (TM) behavior change and principles chronic disease (CD) care. <i>Methods:</i> A prospective initial version TM-CD obese family practice (n = 284) yielded cross-sectional data baseline stage for six target behaviors: dietary fat,...
Smartphones have potential as cognitive aids for adults with impairments. However, little is known about how patients and their care partners utilise smartphones in day-to-day lives. We collected self-reported smartphone utilisation data from referred neuropsychological evaluations (N = 53), 44), an Amazon Mechanical Turk control sample 204). Patient participants were less likely to own a than controls, increasing age associated of features all groups. Of the who owned smartphones,...

Poorer neuropsychological function is associated with increased medical burden (MB) and the use of more anticholinergic medications. However, interaction between MB cognitive (AB) on performance unknown. In a sample 290 elderly primary care patients, those greater level AB demonstrated poorer Total Index Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Further, an effect was noted such that there RBANS Total, Attention, Delayed Memory scores participants fewer MB....
Although factors shaping sibling relationships and the developmental dynamics of such consanguinity have been addressed by various scholars, investigations questioning how risky behaviors one sibling, specifically substance abuse, may impact brothers versus sisters are few. The current study explored non–substance-abusing siblings' reports their mood, attitudes, feelings social support, emotions if or was perceived to be a abuser. Surprisingly, 22% college-aged convenience sample (N = 312)...

Additionally, sensitivity CPI Attention Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) their ability differentiate among clinical groups were compared.The first objective was accomplished by calculating correlation coefficients between similar speed measures. second using a group 25 individuals with Mini-Mental State...
Abstract Objective The purpose was to determine relationships among psychosocial risk factors, ethnicity, and blood biomarkers of Alzheimer Disease (ad) using data from the Health Again Brain Study-Health Disparities. Hypotheses included significant three-way interactions between chronic stress, depression in predicting ad biomarkers.

Early life adversity (ELA) has long been recognized to negatively impact a variety of health outcomes, with increasingly long-term implications for neurocognitive function. ELA may affect the brain through multiple mechanisms, including chronic inflammation. One potential moderator pathway from neuroinflammation cognitive dysfunction is sex. leave females potentially even more vulnerable impairment in later life. This review discusses influence on function across much lifespan, how...
