Method: Our patient had an episiotomy dehiscence that had already benefited from an end-to-end repair, but the perineal defect recurred.

Atypical visual change processing in children with autism: an electrophysiological study.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may display atypical behaviors in reaction to unattended changes that occur in all sensory modalities. Atypical automatic auditory change processing has been highlighted in ASD via the analysis of mismatch negativity (MMN). The present study investigated visual deviancy detection in children with ASD in order to determine whether unusual reactions to change operate in other sensory modalities.

Quality of life of adolescents with autism spectrum disorders: comparison to adolescents with diabetes.
