Parental Perceptions of Developmental Care Rounds in a Pediatric Heart Center.

Infants requiring surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) are at an increased risk of neurodevelopmental delay. Developmental Care Rounds (DCR) have been implemented widely to support the neurodevelopment of children with CHD while admitted to the hospital. This study aims to describe caregiver perceptions of DCR at a quaternary academic children's heart center.

Effect of drying conditions on the chemical compositions, molecular docking interactions and antioxidant activity of Hedychium spicatum Buch.-Ham. Rhizome essential oil.

The fresh and dried rhizomes of Hedychium spicatum are used to treat various ailments. The present work aimed to determine the influence of drying conditions (shade; HSSH, sun; HSS, oven; HSSV30 HSSV50, blower; HSB) on the essential oil profile and antioxidant potential of H. spicatum rhizomes.

Evaluation of machine learning and deep learning models for daily air quality index prediction in Delhi city, India.

The air quality index (AQI), based on criteria for air contaminants, is defined to provide a shared vision of air quality. As air pollution continues to rise in global cities due to urbanization and climate change, air pollution monitoring and forecasting models for effective air quality monitoring that gather and forecast information about air pollution concentration are essential in every city. Air quality predictions have evolved to be more helpful for management.

Positive impact of an inpatient early childhood literacy programme on literacy practices and family experience in a paediatric heart centre.

Objective: CHD predisposes children to neurodevelopmental delays. Frequent, prolonged hospitalisations during infancy prevent children with heart disease from participating in recommended language and cognitive development programmes, such as outpatient early childhood literacy programmes, and contribute to caregiver stress, a risk factor for adverse developmental outcomes. This study aims to describe the implementation of a single-centre inpatient early childhood literacy programme for hospitalised infants with heart disease and assess its impact on reading practices and patient-family hospital experience.

Recurrent acute kidney injury is associated with delayed language development in infants with Congenital Heart Disease.

Objective: Neurodevelopmental delay is common in children who undergo surgery for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in infancy. Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) occurs frequently in the paediatric cardiac Intensive care unit (ICU). Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is associated with worse neurodevelopmental scores and delay in cognitive, language, and motor domains in children with CHD.
