- The study aimed to estimate the occurrence of moderate/severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (p-TBI) in children aged 5-15 in Western Mexico and identify related factors.
- The standardized incidence rate was found to be 31.0 cases per 100,000 person-years, with a higher prevalence in boys and those in primary school, and falls being a common cause of injury.
- The findings indicate that males, particularly those with lower education and a history of falls, are more at risk for moderate/severe p-TBI compared to other studies.
Objective: Type-1 diabetes (T1D) is a disruptive metabolic disease that has an impact on neurodevelopment through its effects on the structure and function of the brain. One of the cognitive domains affected by T1D is sustained attention. The aim of this study was to analyze this process in children with T1D and compare their results to those of healthy controls.

- Research on social support and resilience in Parkinson's disease (PD) caregivers has been limited, even though these factors are important for other caregiver populations.
- A study involving 253 PD caregivers investigated the relationship between social support, resilience, and mental health symptoms, using a structural equation model.
- Results showed that higher social support led to greater resilience, which in turn reduced mental health symptoms, indicating that resilience plays a key role in how social support affects caregivers' well-being.
Dysthymia is defined as a chronic mood disorder that persists for at least two years in adults, and one year in adolescents and children. According to DSM IV-TR, Dysthymia is classified into two subtypes: early-onset, when it begins before 21 years-old, and late onset Dysthymia, when it starts after this age. Before age 21, symptoms of conduct disorder, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity with a few vegetative symptoms are usually present.
