Background: In children with Brachial Plexus Birth Injury, a non-use of the affected upper limb despite sufficient capacity, is sometimes observed, called developmental disregard. The combination of modified constraint-induced-movement-therapy with bimanual training is frequently applied to overcome developmental disregard in unilateral Cerebral Palsy. In the current study the effects of the combination of modified constraint-induced-movement-therapy with bimanual training are investigated in children with Brachial Plexus Birth Injury in comparison to children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy.

- The text describes a neonate with transient neonatal pustular melanosis, a common but benign skin condition.
- It occurs in a small percentage of white (0.2-2.2%) and a higher percentage of black (4-5%) newborns.
- The condition involves vesicopustular lesions that appear at birth, rupture within 24-48 hours, and leave behind hyperpigmented marks that fade over 3-10 weeks.
Purpose: To investigate whether it is better to use blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) or urinary ketones to monitor ketogenic diet (KD).
Method: In 33 patients on KD we measured ketosis in two different ways. At the 3-monthly visits to the clinic we measured BHB in capillary blood obtained by finger-prick and the level of ketones in the urine using a urine dipstick.
