Neurodevelopmental disorders in children with cleft lip and palate: a systematic review.
Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry
December 2024
Individuals with orofacial clefts (OFCs) may be at an increased risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This systematic review provides a summary of the most recent data regarding the prevalence of ASD and ADHD in the OFC population and compares this to the general paediatric population. Multiple databases were searched including PubMed/Medline and Embase in July 2024, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024565219).

Article Synopsis
- - Cefepime, a fourth-generation antibiotic, has extended antimicrobial capabilities but can cause serious side effects like myoclonus and seizures, particularly in patients with kidney issues.
- - A 69-year-old patient treated with cefepime for pneumonia experienced mental status changes that led to the diagnosis of encephalopathy, even with normal kidney function.
- - The patient's symptoms completely resolved after stopping cefepime, and the report includes similar cases found in medical literature up to now.
Article Synopsis
- * Analysis of 50,625 operations showed that higher prior surgery counts (3 or more) significantly increased the risks: operative mortality rates rose from 0.6% for no prior surgeries to 6.3% for six or more.
- * The findings indicate that having three or more prior cardiopulmonary bypass operations is a strong independent risk factor for worse surgical outcomes, suggesting that further studies should focus on improving patient management and outcomes.
Background: Epidemiological data offer conflicting views of the natural course of binge-eating disorder (BED), with large retrospective studies suggesting a protracted course and small prospective studies suggesting a briefer duration. We thus examined changes in BED diagnostic status in a prospective, community-based study that was larger and more representative with respect to sex, age of onset, and body mass index (BMI) than prior multi-year prospective studies.
Methods: Probands and relatives with current DSM-IV BED ( = 156) from a family study of BED ('baseline') were selected for follow-up at 2.
Objective: Negative urgency (i.e., acting rashly when experiencing negative affect; NU), is a theorised maintenance factor in binge-eating type eating disorders.
