Diagnostic accuracy of Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition to identify abnormal or delayed gross motor development in high-risk infants.

Aim: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of parent-completed Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3) to identify abnormal or delayed gross motor development in infants born less than 1000 g or less than 28 weeks gestation.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of high-risk infants comparing ASQ-3 as the index test with concurrent score on Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) as the reference standard, at 4-, 8- and 12-month corrected (post-term) age. Reference standard positivity cut-offs were 'Abnormal motor development' (AIMS Clinical Range) and 'Motor delay' (AIMS score >1 SD below mean, not captured in Clinical Range).

Development of a Clinical Framework for the Assessment of Dyskinesia and Function in the Upper Limb in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Objective: Dyskinesia in cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex movement disorder that can significantly impact upper limb function. Despite a range of available tools, there is no consensus on best practice assessment of upper limb function in children with CP and dyskinesia. This study aimed to develop a clinical framework for the assessment of the impact of dyskinesia on upper limb function in children with CP.

'Low-normal' motor skills in infants at high risk for poor developmental outcomes: A prevalence and prognostic study.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of 'low-normal' motor skills in infants at high-risk for poor developmental outcomes.

Method: Infants born extremely low-birthweight and extremely preterm discharged from neonatal intensive care between 2015 and 2018 completed the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), Neuro-Sensory Motor Developmental Assessment (NSMDA) at corrected age 4, 8, and 12 months, and Griffiths Mental Development Scale at corrected age 12 months.

Results: Participating infants (n = 191) with a mean gestational age (95% confidence interval [CI]) of 26.

A New Interprofessional Community-Service Learning Program, HATS (Health Ambassador Teams for Seniors) to Improve Older Adults Attitudes about Telehealth and Functionality.

Senior population health often is underrepresented in curricula for medical and allied health students. Furthermore, entrenched and dense curricular schedules preclude interprofessional teams from clinical experiences related to senior population health. Community service learning potentially offers the opportunity to engage interprofessional students with a panel of older adults to assess health promotion metrics over time.

Modeling mycorrhizal fungi dispersal by the mycophagous swamp wallaby ().

Despite the importance of mammal-fungal interactions, tools to estimate the mammal-assisted dispersal distances of fungi are lacking. Many mammals actively consume fungal fruiting bodies, the spores of which remain viable after passage through their digestive tract. Many of these fungi form symbiotic relationships with trees and provide an array of other key ecosystem functions.
