Commercial infant products influence body position and muscle use.

The musculoskeletal and motor development of infants is affected by their environment, which varies from being held, lying on a firm flat surface, to seated in various nursery products. Nursery products can alter the body position of infants, particularly the position of the head/neck and trunk, which may inhibit an infant's ability to breathe. With U.

Practice Survey: Depression Screening in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Background: Little is known about depression screening practices in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care. This study summarizes depression screening within IBD centers in the ImproveCareNow Collaborative Network.

Methods: Pediatric IBD providers across 79 IBD centers completed an online survey on current practices surrounding depression screening.

Infant inclined sleep product safety: A model for using biomechanics to explore safe infant product design.

Over 450 adverse incidents have been reported in infant inclined sleep products over the past 17 years, with many infants found dead in both the supine and prone positions. The unique design of inclined sleep products may present unexplored suffocation risks related to how these products impact an infant's ability to move. The purpose of this study was to assess body movement and muscle activity of healthy infants when they lie supine and prone on different inclined sleep products.

Do inclined sleeping surfaces impact infants' muscle activity and movement? A safe sleep product design perspective.

The design of inclined sleep products may be associated with an increased risk of suffocation when an infant finds themselves prone in the product. It is important to understand how different inclined sleep surface angles impact infants' muscle activity when considering a safe sleep environment. The purpose of this study was to assess muscle activity of healthy infants when they lie supine and prone on different inclined crib mattress surfaces (0° vs.

Depression Screening in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinics: Recommendations and a Toolkit for Implementation.

Objective: Rates of youth depression are increasing, and approximately 75% of adolescents with depression go unrecognized. Research in pediatric IBD documents increased depression risk, with rates up to 25%, as well as worse adherence and treatment outcomes associated with depressive symptoms. Evidence-based psychological interventions improve the physical and emotional health of these patients, highlighting the importance of detection and treatment.

Impact of Degree of Obesity on Sleep, Quality of Life, and Depression in Youth.

Objective: Obese youth are more likely to report difficulties with sleep, depression, and quality of life (QOL). This study aims to characterize sleep problems, QOL, and symptoms of depression by degree of obesity.

Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted in a specialized obesity clinic.

Reliability and validity of the SE-HEPA: examining physical activity--and healthy eating-specific self-efficacy among a sample of preadolescents.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the self-efficacy for healthy eating and physical activity measure (SE-HEPA) for preadolescents.

Method: The reliability of the measure was examined to determine if the internal consistency of the measure was adequate (i.e.
