Influence of frame rate in detecting oropharyngeal aspiration in paediatric videofluoroscopic swallow studies - An observational study.

Objectives: The videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), currently the gold standard for assessing aspiration in children, incurs radiation. Adhering to the ALARA principle is crucial in minimising radiation dose whilst obtaining accurate diagnostic information in children. International adult VFSS guidelines recommend a capture rate of 30 frames per second (fps).

Early psychosis in central Vietnam: A longitudinal study of short-term functional outcomes and their predictors.

Background: Few longitudinal studies have investigated the functional outcomes of individuals with recent-onset psychotic illness in low- and middle-income countries.

Aims: To investigate short-term functional remission and its predictors in a central Vietnamese sample.

Methods: A naturalistic 6-month prospective cohort study recruited 79 patients of public health facilities who had experienced a first episode of schizophrenia or related illness in the past 18 months.
