Primary Tumors of the Brain and Central Nervous System in Adults and Children in Sub-Saharan Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Primary Tumors of the Brain and Central Nervous System in Adults and Children in Sub-Saharan Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Late detection of cancers is common, with later reporting and higher reported case fatality rates among adults and children [4]. Furthermore, the SSA medical workforce in oncology, neurology, and neurosurgery is severely undercapacitated, further impeding the effective management of brain and CNS tumors. Although less common than other neoplasms, CNS tumors rank comparatively high as a cause of death due to their high case fatality rates.

Evaluation of a Curriculum-Based Nutrition Education Intervention Protocol in Elementary Schools: Nonrandomized Feasibility Study

The first phase of the lesson, “Minds On”, introduces children to the lesson topic and establishes expectations (5‐10 min). In the second phase, “Exploration”, children play through 1 module of the Foodbot Factory serious game on a tablet provided by the research team (10‐15 min). For the final phase, “Consolidation”, discussion and teacher-led activities allow children to connect their new knowledge from the serious game to their previous knowledge and lived experiences (10 min).

The majority (15/25, 60%) of children were Parent and guardian demographic characteristics (n=25). Provider demographic characteristics (n=15; there were providers who had multiple patients in the study). Vaccine records were obtained on the day of transplant; 96% (24/25) of children were up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines. The 1 patient who was not up to date was a 15-year-old who was missing a second human papillomavirus (HPV) shot.

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Extended Reality (XR) in Pediatric Acute and Chronic Pain: Systematic Review and Evidence Gap Map

Acute and chronic pain are common among children [1-3] and can result in negative short and long-term health and mental health consequences. Within pediatric populations, acute pain can negatively impact treatment adherence such as vaccination schedules [4] and routine port access [5] and can worsen outcomes in the context of surgery and rehabilitation [6,7]. Additionally, acute pain can transition into chronic pain if not adequately assessed, managed, and treated [8].

Exploring Stress and Stress-Reduction With Caregivers and Clinicians in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to Inform Intervention Development: Qualitative Interview Study

Preterm birth affects an estimated 1 in 10 births annually around the world and is the leading cause of death for children under 5 years of age [5]. In Aotearoa New Zealand, a diverse, bicultural country, preterm birth is estimated to occur in 8.9% of annual births [6]. New Zealand Europeans experience fewer preterm births, perinatal deaths, and maternal deaths than Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand who make up 17.3% of the population [7].

School-Partnered Collaborative Care (SPACE) for Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes: Development and Usability Study of a Virtual Intervention With Multisystem Community Partners

School-Partnered Collaborative Care (SPACE) for Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes: Development and Usability Study of a Virtual Intervention With Multisystem Community Partners

Supportive parent and peer relationships can have a significant impact on diabetes-related behaviors, glycemia, and psychosocial outcomes of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes [1-4]. For this reason, parent and peer interactions have been the target of numerous community-based interventions [5-7]. There are other natural support systems in the community for children with type 1 diabetes and their families. In particular, schools serve a critical role in the development of children.

Impact of a Sensorimotor Integration and Hyperstimulation Program on Global Motor Skills in Moroccan Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Exploratory Clinical Quasi-Experimental Study

Impact of a Sensorimotor Integration and Hyperstimulation Program on Global Motor Skills in Moroccan Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Exploratory Clinical Quasi-Experimental Study

For instance, studies have shown that Chinese children tend to perform better in manual dexterity and balance tasks, while American children excel in throwing and catching tasks [40]. Moreover, regional disparities offer valuable insights into the development of various motor skills within diverse national contexts. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the applicability of a standardized battery of gross motor skill tests for Moroccan children aged 6 to 12 years with ASD.

The global prevalence of anemia in 2019 was 39.8% in children aged 6‐59 months, with 269 million children having anemia, while in Malaysia, the prevalence of anemia was 24.6% in children of the same age [5]. In Malaysia, the current prevalence of anemia is approximately 46.5% among children, and 1 in 3 children ( Iron deficiency can occur without anemia; this occurs when the iron store is depleted while the individual is still having normal Hb levels.
