It's easier to relearn gross motor skills than learn them for the first time after injury: Empirical evidence informing the age at injury debate
Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2023 Sep 12;47:67-71. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpn.2023.09.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effect of age at injury on outcomes after brain injury has long been debated. Many have argued that the greater plasticity of the immature brain aids in its recovery from trauma, but others (notably Donald Hebb) have argued that early injury can impair the future ability of the brain to acquire new capabilities. This is difficult to assess empirically due to the presence of many age-dependent confounders. We performed Item Response Theory (IRT) analyses of two datasets of Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) obser...

The association of serum vitamin D concentrations in paediatric migraine
CONCLUSION: A systematic review of the literature reveals a remarkable association between vitamin D and migraine presentation in the paediatric population, affecting the frequency and duration of the episodes. That being the case, vitamin D supplementation could potentially improve the quality of life of paediatric patients suffering from migraine headaches.PMID:37738749 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpn.2023.09.007 (Source: European Journal of Paediatric Neurology)

Relationship between 4-month functional brain network topology and 24-month neurodevelopmental outcome in children with congenital heart disease
Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2023 Sep 11;47:47-59. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpn.2023.09.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSurvivors of complex forms of congenital heart disease (CHD)∗ are at high risk of neurodevelopmental disabilities. Neuroimaging studies have pointed to brain anomalies and immature networks in infants with CHD, yet less is known about their functional network topology and associations with neurodevelopment. To characterize the functional network topology in 4-month-old infants with repaired CHD, we compared graph theory metrics measured using resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (rs-fNIRS) between in...

Childhood-onset epilepsy in patients with dyskinetic cerebral palsy caused by basal ganglia and thalamic lesions
CONCLUSIONS: One-third of term-born patients with BGTL-induced DCP caused by perinatal HIE develop epilepsy, and deep white matter lesions increase the likelihood of epilepsy. Preparation for early-onset ES, MS, and subsequent FS is beneficial.PMID:37708783 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpn.2023.09.006 (Source: European Journal of Paediatric Neurology)
