Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how technology use by infants and their mothers impacts child development at 12 months, emphasizing the importance of the entire family context in understanding these influences.
  • Findings indicate that increased mobile touchscreen use by infants correlates with poorer development in areas like gross motor skills and problem-solving, while maternal tech use leads to higher infant tech use but doesn't directly affect development scores.
  • The research highlights the need to focus on improving parental mental health and overall family dynamics rather than solely targeting technology use to enhance infant developmental outcomes.

Background: ActiMotus, a thigh-accelerometer-based software used for the classification of postures and movements (PaMs), has shown high accuracy among adults and school-aged children; however, its accuracy among younger children and potential differences between sexes are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ActiMotus to measure PaMs among children between 3 and 14 years and to assess if this was influenced by the sex or age of children.

Method: Forty-eight children attended a structured ~1-hour data collection session at a laboratory.

Grade is an important determinant of progression in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) 2004/2016 grading system is recommended, other systems such as WHO1973 and WHO1999 are still widely used. Recently, a hybrid (three-tier) system was proposed, separating WHO2004/2016 high grade (HG) into HG/grade 2 (G2) and HG/G3 while maintaining low grade.

However, robust and detailed evidence is needed to provide practical trustworthy guidance to families and professionals working with families.
