Validation studies of the FLASH-TV system to passively measure children's TV viewing.

TV viewing is associated with health risks, but existing measures of TV viewing are imprecise due to relying on self-report. We developed the Family Level Assessment of Screen use in the Home (FLASH)-TV, a machine learning pipeline with state-of-the-art computer vision methods to measure children's TV viewing. In three studies, lab pilot (n = 10), lab validation (n = 30), and home validation (n = 20), we tested the validity of FLASH-TV 3.

Outcome and complications of outpatient parenteral therapy in pediatric emergency utilizing only peripheral vascular access: A retrospective descriptive study.

Objectives: To describe the cure and complication rates of outpatient parenteral therapy (OPT) utilizing only peripheral vascular access.

Methods: Using a retrospective descriptive study design, we reviewed the medical charts for children aged up to 15 years old who had been discharged from the emergency department into the care of the OPT unit from January 2018 to April 2019. The primary outcomes were cure and complication rates.

Impact of spasticity on quality of life of Lebanese individuals with spinal cord injury: Validity and reliability of the Arabic modified patient-reported impact of spasticity measure.

Context: Spasticity is one of the most complicated problems after spinal cord injury (SCI). Different assessment tools are used to assess spasticity and its impact on individuals with SCI. The modified Patient-Reported Impact of Spasticity Measure (mPRISM) is a recommended tool to measure spasticity in spinal cord damage.

Meningeal regulation of infections: A double-edged sword.

In the past 10 years, important discoveries have been made in the field of neuroimmunology, especially regarding brain borders. Indeed, meninges are protective envelopes surrounding the CNS and are currently in the spotlight, with multiple studies showing their involvement in brain infection and cognitive disorders. In this review, we describe the meningeal layers and their protective role in the CNS against bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, by immune and nonimmune cells.

Efficacy of Buzzy Device Versus EMLA Cream for Reducing Pain During Needle-Related Procedures in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: Several pain management tools exist but with limitations in their efficacy or applicability. The EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) cream is currently used for pain relief for needle-related procedures; however, it needs a minimum of 30 to 45 minutes to be effective. The Buzzy is a device that generates vibrations with cold leading to quicker pain relief.
