The Australian evidence-based clinical practice guideline for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Objective: The objective of this article was to provide an overview of the development and recommendations from the Australian evidence-based clinical practice guideline for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The guideline aims to promote accurate and timely identification and diagnosis, and optimal and consistent treatment of ADHD.

Methods: Development integrated the best available evidence with multidisciplinary clinical expertise and the preferences of those with lived experience, underpinned by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

First Pediatric Case of Autoimmune Encephalitis Associated With COVID-19 in Costa Rica.

Very few COVID-19-associated autoimmune encephalitis cases have been documented in children. This case report focuses on a previously healthy four-year-old girl who presented to the emergency room of the National Children's Hospital in Costa Rica in a postictal state due to a tonic-clonic seizure that progressed to status epilepticus. She had no previous history of fever or associated trauma.

Intimate partner violence identified through routine antenatal screening and maternal and perinatal health outcomes.

Background: This study investigated the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) identified on routine prenatal screening and perinatal outcomes for mother and infant.

Methods: Routinely collected perinatal data for a cohort of all women and their infants born in public health facilities in Sydney (Australia) over the period 2014-2016 (N = 52,509) were analysed to investigate the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with a history of IPV. The association between an affirmative response on prenatal IPV screening and low birth weight (LBW) < 2.

Prevalence and determinants of cessation of exclusive breastfeeding in the early postnatal period in Sydney, Australia.

Background: Optimal breastfeeding has benefits for the mother-infant dyads. This study investigated the prevalence and determinants of cessation of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in the early postnatal period in a culturally and linguistically diverse population in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Methods: The study used routinely collected perinatal data on all live births in 2014 ( = 17,564) in public health facilities in two Local Health Districts in Sydney, Australia.

Coalho Cheese Made with Protease from Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae N31: Technological Potential of the New Coagulant for the Production of High-Cooked Cheese.

The aim of this study was to explore the use of a new coagulant from Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae N31 for the manufacture of a high-cooked starter-free cheese variety, by evaluating its physicochemical and functional characteristics in comparison to cheeses made with a traditional commercial coagulant. Coalho cheese was successfully produced with the new protease as it exhibited comparable characteristics to the one produced using the commercial enzyme: pH behavior during manufacture; cheese composition; protein and fat recovery; and cheese yield. In addition, during storage, melting was low and not affected by storage time; the increase of TCA 12% soluble nitrogen (% of total nitrogen) was lower than half of that of pH 4.

Immune responses induced by the Leishmania (Leishmania) donovani A2 antigen, but not by the LACK antigen, are protective against experimental Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis infection.

Leishmania amazonensis is one of the major etiologic agents of a broad spectrum of clinical forms of leishmaniasis and has a wide geographical distribution in the Americas, which overlaps with the areas of transmission of many other Leishmania species. The LACK and A2 antigens are shared by various Leishmania species. A2 was previously shown to induce a potent Th1 immune response and protection against L.
