The TREE Program: Promoting Positive Early Childhood Experiences During Well-Child Visits.

This feasibility study evaluated the developmental coaching TREE (Talk Read Engage Encourage) program for historically marginalized children ages 0 to 2 years, embedded within pediatric visits, examining if TREE could enhance caregiver-child interactions and increase pediatric resident report of competency and self-efficacy in coaching caregivers. Using a quasi-experimental design, a convenience sample (n = 167 families) was recruited (79 intervention; 88 control). Follow-up data were obtained from 45% of families (38 intervention; 38 control), impacted by COVID-19 attendance.

Assessment of local tissue water in the arms and trunk of breast cancer survivors with and without upper extremity lymphoedema.

Given the paucity of information on local tissue water (LTW) in the upper extremity and trunk of women after breast cancer surgery, the purpose of this study was to compare tissue dielectric constant (TDC) values between the affected and unaffected sides of breast cancer survivors with and without upper extremity lymphoedema (LE). Differences in LTW were assessed using the TDC method for three sites in the upper limbs, three sites in the lateral thorax and two sites on the back. Additional measures included demographic and clinical characteristics, arm circumference and bioimpedance analysis.
