Background: To assess the adverse food reactions (AFR) prevalence in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and in non-ASD healthy controls (NASD). Nutritional status alterations, food selectivity and adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) were also evaluated.
Methods: The NAFRA (Nutritional status and Adverse Food Reactions in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder) project was an observational, case-control, comparative study conducted at a tertriary center for pediatrics involving Caucasian patients of both sexes, aged 18 months-7 years, with a diagnosis of ASD, and matched NASD controls.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 376 patients over four years, finding similar rates of advanced airway management and no significant differences in intubation rates or mortality between the two medications.
- * The conclusion indicates that both midazolam and ketamine have comparable safety profiles in terms of requiring emergency airway interventions for patients with acute behavioral disturbances.
Background: Patient diaries are a supportive intervention aiding intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and their families post-critical illness. Despite their growing acceptance, ICU diary usage varies across settings.
Aim: This study explored themes in nurse-written ICU diaries and their impact on nursing work and communication.
Article Synopsis
- ARFID and food neophobia are eating disorders that create major challenges in pediatric healthcare, especially for children with food allergies, leading to serious nutritional and psychological issues.
- The fear of allergic reactions intensifies avoidance behaviors, making it more difficult for affected children to eat a balanced diet.
- A multidisciplinary treatment approach, incorporating therapies like CBT and FBT, along with the need for standardized protocols and more research, is crucial for improving the health and well-being of these children.
