A Minimally Interventional Approach to Oesophageal Atresia Repair With Early Enteral Feeding is Safe, Optimises Neonatal Outcomes, and Reduces Resource use.

Purpose: Recent series of newborn Oesophageal Atresia (OA) repair continue to report widespread use of chest drains, gastrostomy, routine contrast studies and parenteral nutrition (PN) despite evidence suggesting these are superfluous. We report outcomes using a minimally interventional approach to post-operative recovery.

Methods: Ethically approved (15/WA/0153), single-centre, retrospective case-note review of consecutive infants with OA 2000-2022.

Disability rights and empowerment: Reflections on AJCP research and a call to action.

People living with physical, sensory, intellectual, and/or developmental disabilities experience complex social, environmental, political, and cultural challenges along with stigma and marginalization in education, employment, and community life. These multiple and complex barriers often hinder their full and effective participation in society. In this reflection, we curated articles on physical, sensory, intellectual, and/or developmental disabilities published in the American Journal of Community Psychology from 1973 to 2022.

Edison J. Trickett (1941-2022).

This article memorializes Edison J. Trickett (1941-2022), a leading theorist in community psychology. After joining the psychology faculty at Yale (1969-1977) and the Yale Psychoeducational Clinic, Ed became a faculty member at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he taught until 2000 and directed doctoral training in clinical/community psychology (1980-1985).

'Cut and push' as an alternative to endoscopic retrieval of PEG type gastrostomy tubes.

Purpose: Percutaneous Endoscopically placed Gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are frequently used in children. The traditional endoscopic method to remove/change the PEG device requires general anaesthesia in children. A minimally invasive alternative is the 'Cut and Push' method (C&P): avoiding the risks/wait times of general anaesthesia and reducing resource burden.
