Moving beyond dosage and adherence: A protocol for capturing dimensions of active child engagement as a measure of fidelity for social-emotional learning interventions.

Social-emotional competencies are important for school-readiness and can be supported through social-emotional learning (SEL) interventions in the preschool years. However, past research has demonstrated mixed efficacy of early SEL interventions across varied samples, highlighting a need to unpack the black box of which early interventions work, under what conditions, and for whom. In the present article we discuss the critical implementation component of active child engagement in an intervention as a potential point of disconnect between the intervention as designed and as implemented.

Comparison of the results of percutaneous and open screw fixation in the treatment of scaphoid nonunion fractures.

Objective: Our study aims to compare the clinical results of percutaneous screw fixation and non-vascularized bone grafting with open screw fixation in patients who did not achieve union due to failure in diagnosis and treatment after a scaphoid fracture.

Patients And Methods: Forty-three patients with scaphoid nonunion fractures corresponding to the first three Slade and Dodds classification were divided into two groups. Non-vascularized bone grafting with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) was applied to 24 patients in the first group, and 19 patients in the second group were treated with a closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) (percutaneous screw fixation).

Self-Regulation in Preschool: Examining Its Factor Structure and Associations With Pre-academic Skills and Social-Emotional Competence.

Self-regulation in early childhood is an important predictor of success across a variety of indicators in life, including health, well-being, and earnings. Although conceptually self-regulation has been defined as multifaceted, previous research has not investigated whether there is conceptual and empirical overlap between the factors that comprise self-regulation or if they are distinct. In this study, using a bifactor model, we tested the shared and unique variance among self-regulation constructs and prediction to pre-academic and social-emotional skills.

Examining Additive and Synergistic Relations Between Preschool Self-Regulation and Executive Function Skills: Predictions to Academic Outcomes.

In the present study, we examined the extent to which teacher-rated self-regulation and directly assessed executive function skills were independently, additively, or synergistically related to academic achievement during the transition to kindergarten. The sample included 126 children (42% female; = 4.73 years) from families with low incomes who participated in a larger evaluation of state-funded preschool.

Pilot Intervention Enhances Preschoolers' Self-Regulation and Food Liking.

Objective: The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate a 5-week intervention that targeted self-regulation and healthy food liking through mindfulness and classroom-based games with exposure to fruits and vegetables.

Pathways to a more peaceful and sustainable world: The transformative power of children in families.

This article provides an overview of selected ongoing international efforts that have been inspired by Edward Zigler's vision to improve programs and policies for young children and families in the United States. The efforts presented are in close alignment with three strategies articulated by Edward Zigler: (a) conduct research that will inform policy advocacy; (b) design, implement, and revise quality early childhood development (ECD) programs; and (c) invest in building the next generation of scholars and advocates in child development. The intergenerational legacy left by Edward Zigler has had an impact on young children not only in the United States, but also across the globe.

Associations between Subjective and Objective Measures of the Community Food Environment and Executive Function in Early Childhood.

The present study utilized a cross-sectional design to assess whether two indicators of the community food environment, parent perceptions of the community food environment (i.e., as assessed by parent reports of access to, availability, and affordability of foods) and limited food access (via census data), were related to executive function in preschool children.

Regenerative effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and platelet-rich plasma on the osteochondral defects of rats.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the regeneration of osteochondral defects of the rats, and the synergistic effect of this combined treatment.

Materials And Methods: This randomized, controlled, and interventional animal study was conducted between May 2014 and August 2014 Osteochondral regeneration was evaluated in four treatment groups (control, PRP, HBO, and HBO+PRP groups) at the 30th day after iatrogenic injury. Thirty-two female Wistar albino rats (weighing 248-305 g) underwent arthrotomy and osteochondral surgery on left knees.

Outcomes of primary surgical repair of zone 2 dDigital nerve injury.

The objective of our study was to assess the functional and sensory outcomes of the primary repair of 138 digital nerve injuries in 48 consecutive patients between January 2012 and November 2014, and to determine whether there were any relationships between demographics, clinical characteristics, or functional test results and post-operative sensory recovery outcomes. Mean follow-up was 14 (range, 10 to 20) months. Sensory evaluation was performed using the static two-point discrimination test, and post-operative sensoryrecovery results were classified according to the Seddon Classification: 69 (50%) injuries were S3+, 3 (2%) were S3, 15 (11%) were S2, 18 (13%) were S1, and 33 (24%) were S0.

Free medial meniscal fragment which mimics the dislocated bucket-handle tear on MRI.

The bucket-handle meniscal tear is a specific type of meniscal injuries which has specific signs on MRI. An attached fragment displaced away from the meniscus with any type of tear causes bucket-handle tear of the meniscus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used diagnostic tool for meniscal injuries.
