Article Synopsis
- - The study validated the Japanese version of the Child's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-J) using a sample of 3158 children (aged 4-12) and assessed factors affecting sleep scores.
- - A total of 2687 participants completed the survey, with a calculated cutoff score for identifying sleep issues set at 48; factors like co-sleeping, supplemental sleep, and age significantly influenced the results.
- - The CSHQ-J demonstrated adequate internal consistency, making it a reliable tool for screening pediatric sleep disorders, with specific sleep habits and children's ages needing special attention in assessments.
Article Synopsis
- - Acute encephalopathy with reduced subcortical diffusion (AED) is prevalent in children in East Asia, characterized by seizures and decreased diffusion in brain areas.
- - A study of 34 patients revealed that therapeutic hypothermia was beneficial for those with severe consciousness issues after seizures, but its effectiveness depended on the timing of treatment initiation.
- - The presence of basal ganglia/thalamus lesions and Tada scores were linked to poorer outcomes, highlighting the need for further research on therapeutic hypothermia's timing and efficacy in AED patients.
Background: Night-shift lifestyles affect children as well as adults, and are associated with sleep and behavioral problems among children. This study aimed to investigate associations among sleep patterns, individual/environmental factors, and problematic behaviors in children at age 5 years.
Methods: Data for sleep patterns, individual / environmental factors, and problematic behaviors for 8,689 5-year-old children were collected from health-checkup records.
Background: Difficult children are ones whose behavior deviates from the norm, which manifests as restlessness, violence, and difficulty in separating from the mother. Such problematic behaviors usually exhaust their parents during child rearing. This study aimed to identify individual and environmental factors that influence children's problematic behavior, which could be helpful in supporting parents' child rearing.

Although hemophagocytic syndrome due to infection is a rare complication in anorexia nervosa, early identification for hemophagocytosis is important for avoiding a life-threatening condition.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 12-year-old girl with anorexia nervosa presenting with infection with cytopenia and hemophagocytosis during initial nutritional therapy.
