Article Synopsis
- A national registry for congenital heart disease (CHD) in Canada aims to streamline research, cut costs, and enhance statistical power by automatically identifying CHD patients from existing clinical data.
- This project successfully extracted data from 885,287 echocardiogram reports and 70,121 clinical records, identifying over 43,000 children and nearly 5,000 fetuses with CHD.
- The initial registry in Québec demonstrates the potential for a centralized, user-friendly database that can support various CHD research projects and potentially expand to a national level.
Evidence-based therapeutic options for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are scarce. This work explored the effects of cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) on three 48 h-apart motor sequence learning and upper limb coordination sessions in children with DCD. The results revealed that, as compared to a Sham intervention (n = 10), cerebellar atDCS (n = 10) did not meaningfully improve execution speed but tended to reduce the number of execution errors during motor sequence learning.

This leads to risk stratification of patients with congenital heart diseases being based on volumes indexed to body surface area (BSA). We aimed to produce cMRI Z score equations for ventricular volumes in children and young adults and to test whether indexing to BSA resulted in an incorrect assessment of ventricular dilation according to sex, body composition, and growth.
