[Motor skills as the basis of sensorimotor development, an essential dimension according to André Bullinger].

In neonatology and pediatric intensive care units, as in pediatric units, development support care practiced according to the approach of psychologist André Bullinger takes into account sensorimotor and psychological aspects. Considering the quality and quantity of movements, from the antenatal period, allows for individualized and early care. Sensitive periods of sensorimotor development, during which brain plasticity is optimal, are decisive for psychomotor and cognitive development.

Recommendation for hygiene and topical in neonatology from the French Neonatal Society.

We sought to establish guidelines for hygiene care in newborns based on a systematic review of the literature and grading of evidence using the Groupe de Réflexion et d'Evaluation de l'Environement des Nouveau-nés (GREEN) methodology. We examined 45 articles and 4 reports from safety agencies. These studies recommend a tub bath (rather than a sponge bath) for full-term infants and a swaddle bath for preterm newborns.

Renovascular hypertension: results in adulthood of renal autotransplantation performed in children.

Background: This study describes the long-term results of renal autotransplantation for renovascular hypertension performed in children who are now 21 years of age or older.

Methods: Sixteen children (4 boys, 12 girls) with a mean age of 11.2 years at the time of the procedure underwent ex-vivo surgery at the university hospital of Saint-Etienne between 1992 and 2008.

Teaching discriminated social approaches to individuals with Angelman syndrome.

Angelman syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder characterized by intellectual and developmental disability. Common behavioral characteristics of this disorder include a heightened interest in social interactions and frequent bids to initiate interaction. These bids can be problematic, for instance, when a child attempts to hug strangers in public places.

Renal function can be impaired in children with primary hyperoxaluria type 3.

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 3 (PH3) is characterized by mutations in the 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (HOGA1) gene. PH3 patients are believed to present with a less severe phenotype than those with PH1 and PH2, but the clinical characteristics of PH3 patients have yet to be defined in sufficient detail. The aim of this study was to report our experience with PH3.
