EEG Abnormalities and Phenotypic Correlates in Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Single-Center Study.

The literature suggests the existence of an association between autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and subclinical electroencephalographic abnormalities (SEAs), which show a heterogeneous prevalence rate (12.5-60.7%) within the pediatric ASD population.

Management of Oro-Antral Communication: A Systemic Review of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies.

This study aims to evaluate the management of oro-antral communications (OAC) and fistulas (OAF), focusing on treatment strategies based on defect size, epithelialization, and the presence of sinus infections, while exploring both traditional and emerging techniques. The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO (CDR ID 623251). Using targeted keywords, articles in English published within the last 10 years were analyzed from databases such as PubMed, WoS and Scopus, selecting only clinical studies on human patients.

Health literacy in pediatric thrombosis: a landscape analysis.

Background: Health literacy can influence self-management, leading to improved health outcomes in pediatric patients with venous thrombotic events (VTEs).

Objectives: To assess general health literacy in adolescents and parents/caregivers of children diagnosed with VTE, and their perception and satisfaction with overall thrombosis-related knowledge, thrombosis knowledge compared to that of other conditions, and beliefs regarding thrombosis knowledge importance.

Methods: Patients aged 10 to 18 years with VTE history and parents/caregivers of patients aged 0 to 18 years with VTE attending clinic were recruited in this cross-sectional study.

Crypt density and recruited enhancers underlie intestinal tumour initiation.

Oncogenic mutations that drive colorectal cancer can be present in healthy intestines for long periods without overt consequence. Mutation of Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc), the most common initiating event in conventional adenomas, activates Wnt signalling, hence conferring fitness on mutant intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Apc mutations may occur in ISCs that arose by routine self-renewal or by dedifferentiation of their progeny.

Social Disengagement in Post-Pandemic China: A Translation, Validation and Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Pandemic Disengagement Syndrome Scale.

Background: In contrast to abundant research on the various acute mental effects of COVID-19, the long-term influences of the pandemic are still underexplored in China owing to the paucity of assessment tools. The Pandemic Disengagement Syndrome Scale (PDSS) assesses people's social disengagement as a lasting psychological consequence in Western countries during the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. However, its generalizability across cultures is untested.
