Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for two versions of the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire: the full 55-item version (QOLCE-55) and the shorter 16-item version (QOLCE-16).
- Data were gathered from 74 children with epilepsy, using both anchor-based and distribution-based methods to estimate MCID values, with results indicating different scores for each version.
- This research highlights the importance of understanding MCID values to assess whether changes in the quality of life for children with epilepsy are significant, informing better epilepsy care.
Background And Objectives: To describe the neurobehavioral phenotype of congenital myotonic dystrophy. Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is the most severe form of myotonic dystrophy, characterized by symptom presentation at birth and later, cognitive impairment, autistic features, and disordered sleep.
Methods: The neurobehavioral phenotype was assessed in this cross-sectional study by a neuropsychological battery consisting of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition, Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, Second Edition (Vineland-II), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function including preschool and teacher reports, Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire, Social Communication Scale, and Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised.

Objective: Remote investigation and monitoring have gained importance in ambulatory practice. A home-based fecal calprotectin (FC) test has been developed where the sample is processed and analyzed at home through a smartphone application. We aimed to assess the use of standard ELISA (sFC) versus home-based (hFC) FC testing in a general pediatric gastroenterology clinic.

However, mpMRI has lower sensitivity for small tumours. Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) offers increased sensitivity over conventional imaging.

- * Among children treated with ADA, 63% achieved steroid-free clinical remission after one year, compared to 59% for those treated with IFX, indicating no significant difference in effectiveness.
- * Children on ADA experienced less treatment intensification compared to those on IFX, suggesting that ADA may be associated with a lower need for increased treatment over time.
