Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention package consisting of systematic instruction and aided AAC modeling with speech-output technology on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of socio-communicative behaviors in four minimally speaking, preschool-aged, autistic children.
Method: A multiple-probe design across behaviors (i.e.
As artificial intelligence (AI) makes significant headway in various arenas, the field of speech-language pathology is at the precipice of experiencing a transformative shift towards automation. This study introduces , an AI-driven application designed to generate topic-specific displays from photographs in a "just-in-time" manner. Using , this study aimed to (a) determine which of two AI algorithms (NLG-AAC and GPT-3.

- Palmar or plantar fibromatosis is a benign condition that can impair hand or foot function, and while surgery is common, radiation therapy (RT) can also be effective in managing symptoms.
- A study involved three patients receiving RT for fibromatosis, using custom-designed 3D-printed boluses created from CT imaging to enhance treatment effectiveness.
- The results showed the printed boluses had very minimal shape deviations, good density accuracy, and no significant issues during treatment, indicating that 3D printing could improve RT dosimetry for this condition.

- The study investigates maxillofacial injuries in children and adolescents, focusing on how their unique facial anatomy presents challenges in treatment.
- A review of hospital records from January 2012 to May 2022 revealed 77 patients with 115 fractures, primarily caused by road traffic accidents, followed by falls and sports injuries, with a notable higher occurrence in boys.
- The majority of injuries affected the lower one-third of the face, and most patients underwent surgical treatment, highlighting an increase in such injuries with age.
Timely diagnosis and management of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is of paramount importance to improve survival. The Indian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition invited national and international experts to identify and review important management and research questions. These covered the definition, age appropriate stepwise workup for the etiology, non-invasive diagnosis and management of cerebral edema, prognostic scores, criteria for listing for liver transplantation (LT) and bridging therapies in PALF.
