Article Synopsis
- The Language Assessment Scale Trivandrum (LEST) is used to evaluate language development in children aged zero to three years, but lacks publicly available gender-specific standards.
- A study was conducted with 198 children (99 girls and 99 boys) to analyze gender differences in language development using the LEST questionnaire.
- Results showed that boys had significant delays in achieving language milestones compared to girls, indicating a need for potential gender-specific scales if these findings are confirmed in larger studies.
Objectives: Recent research on serum bilirubin's impact on stroke outcomes presents conflicting evidence. Higher bilirubin levels have been associated with both protective effects against ischemic stroke and increased risk of poor neurological recovery and higher mortality.
Materials And Methods: Systematic searching of the PubMed and SCOPUS databases from inception till April 2024 yielded 139 studies of which four were included for analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Rising obesity rates have led to an increase in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) among younger populations, prompting a study comparing metabolically healthy obese and overweight (MHOO) individuals to their non-obese counterparts (MHnOO).
- Data analysis from the National Inpatient Sample between 2016 and 2019 assessed nearly 48,000 young AIS patients, revealing a slight increase in AIS incidence primarily among MHnOO, with lower in-hospital mortality rates for MHOO patients.
- The findings suggest that obesity or overweight status does not correlate with heightened risk of AIS hospitalization, indicating an "obesity paradox" where the MHOO group displayed significantly lower odds of all-cause in-hospital mortality compared to MHnOO individuals.
