Effect of data censoring on thoracic injury risk curves.

Objective: The first objective was to evaluate the effect of using less censored (i.e., exact and interval-censored) data on thoracic injury risk curves and the resulting injury probabilities.

Report from the child neurology education and training workshop at the International Child Neurology Congress 2024: Expert'saddressing the training gap.

This report summarizes the key findings of a workshop undertaken at the International Child Neurology Congress in 2024 by child neurologists with expertise in training education and invested colleagues. The workshop aimed to explore global issues which have impact on access to child neurology training. The major findings supported a great need for more training programs globally, that consensus is needed for the minimum standards of training, and that training programs can be strengthened via global health partnerships especially with collaborations from regions with more available resources.

Results of a National Delphi consensus on the outpatient management of pediatric psychogenic nonepileptic seizures in the United States.

Background And Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop national consensus based on expert opinion on the optimal outpatient care model of pediatric psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES).

Methods: A core working group (CWG) within the PNES special interest group of the Pediatric Epilepsy Research Consortium was established. The CWG developed a rigorous scoring rubric to select experts in pediatric PNES within the United States of America and a three-round Delphi study was conducted to assess consensus on key components of the management of pediatric PNES in the outpatient setting.

[(1,2,5,6-η)-Cyclo-octa-1,5-diene](1-ethyl-4-iso-butyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-idene)(tri-phenyl-phosphane)iridium(I) tetra-fluorido-borate di-chloro-methane hemisolvate.

A new triazole-based -heterocyclic carbene Ir cationic complex with a tetra-fluorido-borate counter-anion and hemi-solvating di-chloro-methane, [Ir(CH)(CHN)(CHP)]BF·0.5CHCl, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. There are two independent ion pairs in the asymmetric unit and one di-chloro-methane solvent mol-ecule per two ion pairs.

Education Research: Educating Child Neurology Residents About Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: A Needs Assessment.

Background And Objectives: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are difficult to differentiate from epileptic seizures (ES) even for neurologists who see these conditions frequently. This difficulty is due to overlapping semiologic findings between the 2 diagnoses. Previous studies have shown that trainees, including neurology trainees, are not accurate in differentiating PNES from ES.
