Inflammatory Diseases of the Eye, Bowel, and Bone in Children
AbstractPediatric rheumatological diseases present with diverse manifestations affecting various tissues and organs. Though most childhood illnesses with immune dysregulation affect multiple organs or systems simultaneously or gradually, few inflammatory conditions affect certain organs as distinguished primary targets. Pediatric inflammatory diseases of the eye, bowel, and bone represent significant disorders with heterogeneous entities with varying pathophysiological basis like chronic inflammation, vasculitis, autoimmunity, and autoinflammation. Associations or complications of these diseases may remain obscure if their...

Next-Generation Sequencing in Unexplained Intellectual Disability
ConclusionsThere is paucity of data on molecular genetic spectrum of ID from India. The current study identifies extensive genetic heterogeneity and the impact of NGS in patients with ID unexplained by standard genetic tests. The study identified ARID as the most common cause of ID with additional implications for reproductive outcomes. It reiterates the importance of phenotype in genetic testing.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Bayley III Screening Tool to Detect Developmental Delay in Moderate to High-Risk Indian Preterm Children
AbstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the ability of the Bayley III screening tool to detect developmental delay in moderate to high-risk preterm children in India. In this cross-sectional study, 94 preterm babies were enrolled. The Bayley III screener (index test) and the gold-standard, Developmental assessment scale for Indian Infants (DASII) test were administered to all the enrolled children. Researchers were blinded while performing the tests. Diagnostic accuracy parameters were compared. The Bayley III screener ’s sensitivity and specificity for predicting the delay (with a DASII cut-off of<70) were 84.62%...
