Purpose: Using a longitudinal design, this study aimed to describe inferential comprehension abilities of neglected French-speaking preschool children from 42 to 66 months of age in comparison to non-neglected peers, to examine the association with receptive vocabulary, and to determine whether rates of change in inferential abilities over time was stable between the two group conditions.
Method: An inferential comprehension task and the French version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Fourth Edition were administered to a group of neglected children ( = 37-40) and to a group of same-age non-neglected children ( = 71-91) at 42, 54, and 66 months old, as part of the Early Longitudinal Language and Neglect study.
Results: Results show that children exposed to neglect obtain significantly lower scores compared to their same-age peers on inferential comprehension and receptive vocabulary measures at all three time points ( < .
: Few data are available concerning the outcome of patients denied venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) relative to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19. : We compared the 90-day survival rate of consecutive adult patients for whom our center was contacted to discuss VV-ECMO indication. Three groups of patients were created: patients for whom VV-ECMO was immediately indicated (ECMO-indicated group), patients for whom VV-ECMO was not indicated at the time of the call (ECMO-not-indicated group), and patients for whom ECMO was definitely contraindicated (ECMO-contraindicated group).

- Neglected children face significant challenges in speech and language development during preschool years, and no prior longitudinal study has examined this thoroughly.
- The study involved 69 neglected children and 99 non-neglected peers, assessing their language skills at six-month intervals from ages 3 to 5.5.
- Results indicate that while neglected children generally lag behind their peers in language development, some catch up and show progress similar to non-neglected children, highlighting diverse developmental trajectories within the neglected group.*
Obesity continues to rise in the juveniles and obese children are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome (MetS) and related cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, effective prevention and long-term treatment options remain limited. We determined the juvenile cardiac response to MetS in a swine model.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of hospitalized patients receiving a buprenorphine/naloxone micro-induction for opioid use disorder in a tertiary care hospital from Jan 2020-Dec 2020. The primary outcome was a description of the micro-induction prescribing patterns used.
