Objective: To investigate speech development of children aged 5 and 10 years with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and identify speech characteristics when speech proficiency is not at 'peer level' at 10 years. Estimate how the number of speech therapy visits are related to speech proficiency at 10 years, and what factors are predictive of whether a child's speech proficiency at 10 years is at 'peer level' or not.
Design: Longitudinal complete datasets from the Scandcleft project.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the importance of leg pain distribution in diagnosing nerve root involvement, focusing on common radicular pain patterns for the L5 and S1 nerve roots.
- During the research, pain patterns from 93 patients were analyzed and showed significant overlap with published dermatomes, yet clinicians struggled to accurately distinguish between L5 and S1 nerve root issues based purely on these patterns.
- The results indicate that, despite some overlap in pain characteristics, clinicians' ability to determine specific nerve root compromise based on pain distribution was not significantly improved by the use of composite pain drawings.
Background: Lifestyle interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk factors in patients with first-episode schizophrenia (FES) have shown modest efficacy, probably owing to a short observation period and the presumption of linear trajectories of cardiovascular risk factors.
Study Question: How prevalent are abnormal cardiovascular values in patients with FES and how do cardiovascular risk factors develop during a 30-month program?
Study Design: A 30-month naturalistic longitudinal study of 136 consecutively referred patients with FES from 2 outpatient clinics. The health-promoting program consisted of individual guidance, group sessions, and normal treatment and care.
Introduction: Offspring of parents with depression has an increased risk of experiencing somatic and psychiatric diseases. Early child support can reduce this risk. This study aimed to describe general practitioners' (GPs) professional attention to children of depressed patients.

Methods: This study was based on 2036 new sickness absence cases who completed a questionnaire on social characteristics, expectations for RTW and reasons for sickness absence. They were divided into two exposure groups according to their self-reported sickness absence reason: mental health reasons or other health reasons.
