This study aimed to develop a consensus-derived minimum data set for childhood stroke and establish an agreed set of tools to measure key functional outcomes identified as important by childhood stroke survivors and their families.
The potential implementation of early type 1 diabetes (T1D) detection pathways, encompassing autoantibody screening and longitudinal monitoring, raises important psychosocial considerations for ethical, person-centred care. This review summarises evidence on the psychosocial impact of early T1D detection, identifying key evidence gaps and recommendations for integrating psychosocial support.
Speech and language therapists' (SLT) practice with cultural and linguistic diverse (CALD) populations with acquired and congenital neurogenic communication disorders in Denmark and Sweden is becoming more urgent due to demographic changes.
To determine whether the screening age for atrial fibrillation (AF) should be lowered for Indigenous Australians with the goal of reducing risk of stroke and other health burdens.
Observable signs of clinical deterioration may present differently in children with dark-coloured skin, leading to potential missed or delayed recognition. It is unknown how health professionals approach assessment in children with dark-coloured skin.
Mentalization (the ability to hold in mind and interpret one's own and others' mental states in order to make sense of behaviour) has been consistently linked with the development of secure parent-infant attachment as well as with adult mental health.
The developing hippocampus is particularly sensitive to early environmental influences, including during pregnancy. This longitudinal neuroimaging study examined associations between prenatal maternal physical activity and depression, maternal education, and hippocampal development from early childhood to early adolescence.
Meningitis remains the leading infectious cause of neurological disabilities globally, disproportionately affecting children younger than 5 years and populations in the African meningitis belt. Whereas previous global estimates focused on ten pathogen categories, this study presents the most comprehensive analysis to date, assessing the meningitis burden attributable to 17 causative pathogens based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2023 framework.
