Aim: To quantify regional subcortical brain volume anomalies in youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), assess the relative sensitivity and specificity of abnormal volumes in FASD vs. a comparison group, and examine associations with cognitive function.
Method: Participants: 47 children with FASD and 39 typically-developing comparison participants, ages 8-17 years, who completed physical evaluations, cognitive and behavioral testing, and an MRI brain scan.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding how both plants and soil organisms respond to global changes is vital for ecosystem health and biodiversity.
- The study analyzes a large dataset to show that global change factors boost plant biomass but reduce plant species diversity, while the effects on soil organisms vary and are unpredictable.
- The findings emphasize the need for integrated research that considers both aboveground and belowground interactions to better anticipate the impacts of global environmental changes.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates Alzheimer's disease-related psychosis (ADP) in older adults, focusing on demographic and clinical differences between those treated with antipsychotics and those who are not.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 145,000 ADP patients, comparing health outcomes related to falls, fractures, seizures, and mortality between the two groups.
- Findings reveal that antipsychotic users had more baseline health issues and higher rates of falls, fractures, and mortality compared to nonusers, indicating a significant impact of antipsychotic treatment on health outcomes in ADP patients.
Background: Respiratory illnesses, including pulmonary TB (PTB), cause significant morbidity. We aimed to understand the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with presumptive PTB.
Methods: Children aged 0-13 years presenting with presumptive PTB were enrolled.
