This document discusses a cohort study examining the risks of the drug ondansetron, which is used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The study followed a large group of pregnant women exposed to ondansetron and compared outcomes like abortion, birth defects, preterm birth, and low birth weight to unexposed women. The study found no significant increase in these risks with exposure to ondansetron during pregnancy. While definitive conclusions cannot be made, the results provide reassurance about the safety of using this drug to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Ambivalence towards a prospective pregnancy among contraceptive usersMEASURE Evaluation
This study analyzed data from a one-year follow-up of reversible contraceptive method users in Honduras to determine reasons for inconsistencies between fertility motivations and contraceptive use. The study found that over half of contraceptive users reported it would be no problem if they became pregnant soon, and over half of non-users reported a pregnancy would be a small or big problem. Common reasons among users for saying pregnancy would be no problem included side effects and relationship issues, while common reasons among non-users for seeing a pregnancy as a problem included economic difficulties and wanting to space children. The study highlights inconsistencies in reported fertility desires and contraceptive behaviors over time.
This document summarizes a study presented by Gabby Cooper and Olivia Smith on early identification of developmental delays. The study examined whether use of the 211 telephone helpline identified more developmental delays in children aged 1-3 than traditional physician visits. The hypothesis was that more accessible screening tools would lead to more diagnoses. Preliminary results from 143 anonymous patient records showed that 211 led to a large increase in diagnoses, indicating a need for more sensitive screening tools. Future investigations could broaden the study to multiple clinics to further examine the potential for early screening to identify subtle signs of delay.
A survey of parents found that only 1% believed their teens had used stimulant medications like Ritalin or Adderall to study or do homework without a prescription, while 4% did not know. However, national data from another survey showed that between 5-12% of 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students reported ever using such stimulants without a prescription. The study also found that only 27% of parents reported talking to their teens about using non-prescribed stimulant medications. This suggests that parents may underestimate the extent of teen misuse of prescription stimulants.
A study used the health belief model to examine mothers' adherence to asthma medication regimens for their children. Interviews found that mothers were more likely to comply when they believed their child's asthma was serious and could interfere with the child's activities. Mothers also complied more if the child's asthma interfered with their own activities. Factors like medication schedules and accessibility issues negatively impacted compliance. Married mothers and those with more education were more likely to comply.

This editorial discusses the importance of including women in medical research trials. It notes that women have historically been excluded from many studies due to concerns about potential risks to pregnancy. However, this means that little is known about how drugs and other treatments affect women. The editorial argues that women of childbearing age should not be excluded from research altogether, but that special informed consent is needed to discuss any potential risks to pregnancy. Researchers must make efforts to minimize gender bias and ensure women are represented in both the design and participation of medical studies.
1. The document discusses the differences between background and foreground questions and provides examples. Background questions are broad while foreground questions are more focused on a specific problem.
2. It also discusses formulating a good study question using the PICO format which includes the Patient/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome.
3. Key steps in formulating a study question are ensuring it is related to the problem and will facilitate precise searching for an answer.

The efficacy of domperidone in the treatment of childhood gerdFaisal Wahid
This study investigated the efficacy and side effects of domperidone in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease in 220 children between 1 month and 15 years old over a period of 3 years. Domperidone was found to effectively treat symptoms in 85.5% of children with few side effects. The most common side effect was loose stool in 15% of children. There was no significant relationship between treatment response and factors like age, sex, or clinical symptoms. This study suggests that domperidone is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for reflux in children regardless of age or sex.
This document discusses a proposed study to introduce a national autism screening program for toddlers aged 21-24 months in New Zealand. The study would screen 50,000 toddlers over 12 months using a two-stage screening process conducted by trained Plunket nurses. Results would be analyzed to determine the number of children diagnosed with autism and related to other factors like gender. The implications are that early diagnosis leads to better outcomes for children and families. The research aims to determine if such a screening program should be implemented nationally.
Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderA Place of Hope
The Center for Counseling and Health Resources in Edmunds, Washington offers holistic therapy through diet, exercise, talk therapy and medication to help people with depression, emotional issues, eating disorders and other psychological problems. A recent study found that about half of people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also experience symptoms of depression, highlighting the need for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans addressing all psychological challenges.
The Risk for Major Depression Conferred by Childhood Maltreatment is Multipli...Travis Green
This study aimed to clarify the interaction between the SERT and BDNF genes and childhood maltreatment in increasing the risk of major depression. Participants were recruited from Spain and assessed for depression diagnoses, childhood maltreatment experiences, and genotypes of SERT and BDNF polymorphisms. Results confirmed that individuals carrying both the SERT S allele and BDNF Met allele were most vulnerable to the effects of childhood maltreatment on developing depression. This supports the hypothesis that genetic sensitivity and stress interact to increase depression risk.
The study aimed to see if using a Funhaler, an inhaler with toys that function with deep breathing, could improve adherence to asthma medication in children. Thirty-two Australian children aged 1.5-6 years old used a standard inhaler for one week and the Funhaler the next week, and parents reported on medication adherence. The findings showed that parents reported medicating their children the previous day 38% more often when using the Funhaler compared to the standard inhaler. The conclusion was that making medical regimens fun through incentives like the Funhaler's toys can improve adherence, especially in children.

Providing Care for Drug Exposed Newborns: Time for The Next StepDr. Allen Cherer
This document discusses the opioid epidemic's impact on drug-exposed newborns and different approaches to their care. Traditional care involved prolonged hospitalization and medication for withdrawal symptoms. However, recent studies show that allowing infants to room-in with mothers and emphasizing family-centered care can decrease medication needs, length of stay, and costs while improving outcomes. A quality improvement project demonstrated that standardized protocols combined with family involvement safely reduced treatment and stayed while maintaining care quality.

The document discusses the potential second coming of enterprise architecture (EA) and whether emerging approaches could help re-establish its practical business relevance. It notes that mainstream EA practices have high consensus but little evidence, while emerging practices have low consensus but need a stronger evidence base. The document explores whether EA is losing momentum due to issues with scope, perspective, or lack of relevance to business problems, and poses questions on whether emerging EA approaches could help address these challenges and renew its influence.
Taking care of your health after surgery is essential. A balanced diet full of nutrients, minerals, fiber from fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats and proteins is important for recovery. Foods to avoid are overly processed, sugary foods as well as dairy products which could cause digestive issues. Consuming lean meats, seafood, eggs, nuts and tofu provide needed protein. Vitamins A, C, D and E from citrus fruits, melons and green vegetables help skin healing. Check with your doctor for a personalized post-surgery diet.

This document discusses pediatric refraction and various techniques used for refracting children. Pediatric refraction is different from adult refraction due to active accommodation in children. Cycloplegic refraction is preferable to paralyze accommodation. Different techniques are used based on the age of the child, including near retinoscopy, dynamic retinoscopy, and book retinoscopy. Cycloplegics help obtain an accurate refraction by paralyzing accommodation.

Anesthesia in Childhood Does Not Affect IntelligenceDr. Brian Klagges
Dr. Brian Klagges practices anesthesiology. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic studied nearly 1,000 children who had zero, one, or two or more exposures to general anesthesia before age 3. When comparing test results up to age 20, they found no difference in intelligence, memory, or other brain functions between children who had anesthesia and those who did not. Results did show small decreases in motor skills and executive function for children with multiple surgeries, as well as more learning difficulties and behavior issues. However, the study could not determine if anesthesia itself caused these effects.
This document summarizes a study that explored whether early sexual intercourse could impact women's reproductive health in middle adulthood. The study followed 522 females from age 14 to 43, asking about the timing of their first sexual experience and later reproductive health. It found that women who had early intercourse were more likely to have lower education, leave home earlier, have more abortions and miscarriages, and report more menstrual symptoms than those who had later first intercourse. The results suggest early sexual activity can predict certain reproductive health issues later in life.
This document summarizes a study that explored whether early sexual intercourse could impact women's reproductive health in middle adulthood. The study followed 522 females from age 14 to 43, comparing those who had early intercourse to those who did not. It found that women with early intercourse tended to have less education and leave home earlier. They also reported more menstrual symptoms, unintended pregnancies, and abortions in adulthood compared to women with later onset of intercourse. The study suggests early intercourse may be a predictor of certain reproductive health issues for women later in life.
This literature review examines previous studies on children undergoing treatment for chronic or life-threatening diseases. The studies found that these children often have lower health-related quality of life than their healthy peers. They also found that current quality of life tests may be too brief or generalized to fully assess these children's experiences. The review suggests that an intervention center could help children through difficult medical treatments by utilizing general quality of life tests along with more customized evaluations. This would help the center better understand children's specific needs and improve their health outcomes and social development.

Epidemiological studies aim to investigate factors while controlling for variables, though this can be difficult with human subjects whose lives vary greatly. Longitudinal studies follow the same group over long periods, like a US study tracking 100,000 children from birth to age 21 to examine environmental and genetic impacts on health. Evaluating scientific studies requires assessing valid methodology, precise measurements, reproducibility, potential biases, and disclosures of researchers and funders. Epidemiological research identifies risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, distinguishing between fixed factors like genes and modifiable factors impacted by individual choices.

Abstract
In recent a post, oppositional disorder diseases has been on the rise, raising questions about the manner in which diseases is spreading especially among children. The high prevalence levels of the oppositional disorder have raised more concerns especially form the health, sectors thus developing the need to understand the disorder better. This research paper will, therefore, encompass a broad perspective of oppositional disorder disease to effectively understand how it is manifested, various ways in which it manifests itself to develop preventive strategy much earlier before the situation reaches full-blown.
Unlike the common conduct disorder where the patient is more aggressive towards people and animals, the oppositional disorder is more silent, and it takes time for it to be detected. The lifetime prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 10.2%. The disease is mostly observed in children and adolescents across the globe.
Some of the common symptoms of the disease involve a certain behavior where children’s behavior is much different compared to their peers. A patient suffering from oppositional disorder tends to have a turn in their behavior including regular loose of temper, being angry and resentful, argues with authorities without any significant reason. It is importance to note that the persistence and frequency of these behaviors should be used to differentiate between normal behavior and symptoms of the oppositional disorder. The disease causes a massive effect on patient’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The most common cause of the oppositional disorder is the genetic influence. Research has shown that parents tend to pass on expressing disorder to their children, and it may be displayed in multiple ways. The disease can be easily diagnosed basing on the extent at which the change of behavior causes distress to the family members or drastic changes in academic and social functioning. These behaviors must persist.
Screening Tool for Developmental Disorders in ChildrenApollo Hospitals
Developmental problems are a diverse group of conditions that affect and limit children and their life-chances. A ready reference for a Paediatrician would be the first six chapters of the latest edition (18th) of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics (The Field of Pediatrics, Growth & Development, Psychological Disorders, Social Issues, Children with Special Health Needs and Nutrition and Human Genetics and Metabolic Diseases).
1) There are two basic types of experimental research designs: randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs. Randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard as randomization makes treatment groups comparable.
2) There are four main types of observational studies: cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional surveys, and case reports. Cohort studies follow groups over time from exposure to outcome while case-control studies work backwards from an outcome to exposures.
3) Experimental and observational studies both have strengths and weaknesses for evaluating causes and effects in health research. The strongest evidence comes from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of multiple studies.
This annotated bibliography provides summaries for two sources about childhood and adult obesity. The first source is a scholarly article that analyzes childhood obesity trends in the US and finds inconsistencies in predicting future rates due to diversity in demographics. It addresses causes and risk factors of childhood obesity but does not deeply examine perceptions of it. The second source is an article that finds women who experienced childhood maltreatment were more likely to perceive weight discrimination and have smaller increases in BMI. It demonstrates how childhood experiences can trigger adult obesity but does not analyze differences in perceiving childhood versus adult obesity. Both sources will aid the student's research on perceptions of childhood versus adult obesity, though the second source fails to critically compare the two perceptions.

Dr. Pankaj Naram and Fascinating Major Study On Food Dr. Pankaj Naram
A new study found that food commercials strongly influence children to choose foods based on taste rather than nutrition. The study showed that children respond to food ads and select foods based on taste alone more quickly after viewing commercials featuring "tasty" foods. This highlights the importance of the research for those interested in children's health and fighting childhood obesity, as food ads may encourage children to choose less nutritious options.

Infancy and Early Childhood Development of Drug Addicted Children
While in the womb fetus is in the it feeds off the food intake and nourishment through the
placenta, which also means that any substances such as drugs, alcohol or tobacco that enters the
mothers system flows through the placenta and is delivered to the fetus as well. From birth to three
years old is the most critical period in a child’s development process. Children of mothers that use
drugs while they are pregnant increase the likelihood that the child will suffer from some form of
birth defect and oftentimes born prematurely. The lasting effects of prenatal cocaine affect the
growth of the fetus physically. The results of the increase of premature birth, and generalized growth
retardation including decreased birth weight, shorter body length, and smaller head circumference
(Bigsby et al, 2011; Covington et al, 2002; Gouin et al, 2011; Mayes et al, 2003).
These toxic chemicals can sometimes have irreversible damage that affect the child’s normal
development process with regards to proper development of organs and brain function.
From the ages of 0-2 months old a child are expected to have develop motor skills that would
include the ability to recognize different colors and shapes, kicking waving, have the ability to
recognize familiar voices and their sleeping patterns would change, meaning that as they grow older
children should be sleeping a little longer than a new born baby. Children from the ages of 2
months old should be able to extend their arm and reach and pick up toys and other objects,
hand coordination by shifting objects from one hand to another. The child should be able to pick up
finger food and bring it to their mouths. Identifying a problem with a child is when they are not able
to perform these age appropriate task.
A toddler ages 3 to 5 years old should be able to perform task such as holding crayons drawing horizontal lines, circles and have the ability to fold and snip paper with scissors. Children that have been exposed to substance may struggle with completing these tasks or will develop these cognitive skills at a slower rate. One study using play behavior (Rodning, Beckwith, & Howard, 1989a) found that preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine
and other drugs to show poorly developed play behaviors, and a lack of interest and motivation in
unstructured situations, in comparison to a group of high risk preterm children. Using play behavior,
one study found preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine and other drugs to show poorly. However, by
3 years of age, there were no changes associated with fine motor performance or behavior observed
with the child externalizing behavioral problems at age 5 years old. Stress and psychological
symptoms of caregivers were found to be in direct correlation with increased child behavioral issues;
indicating that the effected children may have m.
This document outlines a proposed research study that aims to examine the relationship between childhood family environment and later drug addiction. The study would use a qualitative design with 200 participants recruited from drug rehabilitation centers and correctional facilities across 10 cities. Participants would complete an open-ended interview about their upbringing, which researchers would code into categories related to family influences, social influences, family relations, and other adversities. Data analysis would include reliability testing and a chi-square test to examine correlations between childhood experiences and drug addiction. Obtaining IRB approval would ensure ethical treatment of participants.
Children's longing for everydayness after tbiRichard Radecki
This is a interesting subject. Now, if sleep is disturbed after brain injury, which is not in my experienced addressed well in the acute phase of rehab, how about the "self". I've always stated that acute rehab is the simple time. Post-acute and community re-intergration has less resource dedication, knowledge, and research. Look at this article and try to grasp this struggle. With resource utilization focusing on movement there is still a paucity of effort on self and quality of life! Also note that this is reported as the first article looking at the individual for quality concepts.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

New Study: Anesthesia is Safe for Young Children Who Have Undergone Surgery

New Study: Anesthesia is Safe for
Young Children Who Have
Undergone Surgery

2. A new study recently conducted by
Medical Express examines the various
ways in which general anesthesia affects
children under the age of 3. As the first
three years of a child’s life are absolutely
critical when it comes to brain
development, there has been much debate
as to if anesthesia actually poses a
cognitive threat or risk to these young
children.
3. This study, which was conducted by lead
researchers at both Columbia University
and NY Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley
Children’s Hospital was on attempting to
better understand if general anesthesia
negatively impacted various stages of
early childhood development such as
memory, attention, etc. Since limited
medical studies confirmed anesthesia’s
detriment, researchers decided to evaluate
whether or not this was the case among
young children.
4. A primary concern that drove this research
study was the fact professionals in the
greater pediatric field were wary if
anesthetic agents negatively affected
developing neurosystems.
5. Throughout this study, researchers
analyzed findings from 105 healthy
children who had previously undergone
inguinal hernia surgery. Researchers then
examined the IQ scores in areas such as
processing speed and executive function,
and compared these results with those of
healthy children in the same age bracket
(anywhere from age 8 to 15).
6. According to Guohua Li, DrPH, MD,
professor of epidemiology at Columbia,
the findings from this comprehensive
study clearly point to the fact that parents
should not be hesitant to have their
children undergo procedures or surgeries
that require general anesthesia.
7. Dr. Sun, a lead researcher in this study
confirms that there were no differences in
developing capabilities between both
groups of children. But, Dr. Sun also states
that the group of children exposed to
general anesthesia required more clinical
evaluation, due to signs of internalizing
behavior.
8. While the study uncovered salient findings
within the field of pediatrics, there are still
several unanswered questions that need to
be explored in greater detail when
researchers revisit this topic again. With
the majority of the informants in the study
consisted of young boys, the researchers
were thus unable to better understand how
girls are affected by anesthesia under 3
years old.
9. In addition, medical professionals would
also need to further explore the various
effects of children who have had repeated
or prolonged exposure to anesthesia, as
well as children with more serious medical
conditions. To read more about various
findings in this study, please take a look at
the Journal of the American Medical
Association.
