Validation of the PediBIRN-7 clinical prediction rule for pediatric abusive head trauma
CONCLUSION: The PediBIRN-7's overall AHT prediction performance has been validated in a novel, equivalent, patient population. Its patient-specific estimates of AHT probability can inform physicians' AHT-related diagnostic reasoning after abuse evaluation.PMID:38663048 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106799 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Past Is Prologue: Ethical Issues in Pediatric Psychedelics Research and Treatment
Perspect Biol Med. 2023;66(1):129-144. doi: 10.1353/pbm.2023.0007.ABSTRACTRecent clinical trials of psychedelic drugs aim to treat a range of psychiatric conditions in adults. MDMA and psilocybin administered with psychotherapy have received FDA designation as "breakthrough therapies" for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and treatment-resistant depression (TRD) respectively. Given the potential benefit for minors burdened with many of the same disorders, calls to expand experimentation to minors are inevitable. This essay examines psychedelic research conducted on children from 1959 to 1974, highlighting methodologica...

Parents' Trigger Tool for Children with Medical Complexity - PAT-CMC: Development of a recognition tool for clinical deterioration at home
CONCLUSION: Priority indicators of clinical deterioration of CMC were identified and integrated into a validated trigger tool designed for parents or other lay caregivers at home, to recognize signs of acute severe illness and initiate healthcare interventions.IMPACT: The PAT-CMC was developed to guide families in recognizing signs of deterioration in CMC and has potential for initiating an early escalation of care. This tool may also be useful to support education provided by healthcare providers to families before hospital discharge.PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Parents of CMC were directly involved in the selection of...

Acoustic Analyses of Tone Productions in Sequencing Contexts Among Cantonese-Speaking Preschool Children With and Without Childhood Apraxia of Speech
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that Cantonese-speaking children with CAS had difficulty in varying F0 within syllables as compared to those without CAS, suggesting pitch variation difficulty and language-specific impairment profiles in CAS. Future investigations of objective measures for identifying Cantonese speakers with CAS and cross-linguistic investigations using growth curve analysis and the TST are suggested.PMID:38662942 | DOI:10.1044/2024_JSLHR-23-00383 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Creating optimally safe and enjoyable youth sporting experiences within the United Kingdom
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2024 Apr 23:102652. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2024.102652. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsidering recent research and reports, much attention has been given to understanding and addressing issues of abuse in sport. Similarly, attention has been given to enhancing children's psychosocial experiences within sport. However, to-date, consideration of these two elements together, that is minimising abuse and enhancing enjoyment, has been minimal. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to explore perceptions of the process through which an optimally safe and enjoyable sporting experience can be create...

Blood serum levels of PACAP and migraine onset: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
CONCLUSION: There is a very low certainty of evidence suggesting that the PACAP level is negatively correlated with migraine disease duration of adults with migraine and it varies greatly among different periods of migraine of both adults and children with migraine.PMID:38659322 | DOI:10.1111/head.14711 (Source: Headache)

TFEB regulates dendritic cell antigen presentation to modulate immune balance in asthma
CONCLUSION: TFEB might have a vital role in asthma's development by impacting the antigen presentation of DCs, regulating T cell subgroup differentiation, and influencing cytokine secretion. Its involvement could be pivotal in rebalancing the immune system in asthma.
