This longitudinal study examined the relative impact of major variables for predicting adjustment (in terms of both grief and depression) among bereaved parents following the death of their child. Couples (N = 219) participated 6, 13, and 20 months postloss. Use of multilevel regression analyses enabled assessment of the impact of several predictors and facilitated analysis of factors that were either shared by parents or individual. Grief was predicted mainly by shared parent factors: child's age, cause and unexpectedness of death, and number of remaining children. By contrast, depression was predicted by individual parent factors: gender, religious affiliation, and professional help seeking. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

Front Parasitol
August 2024
School of Public Health, Institute of Health, Bule Hora University, Bule Hora, Ethiopia.
Background: Malaria continues to be an important threat to public health and infects millions of children under 5 years of age each year. Although Ethiopia has set targets for at-risk group interventions to eradicate and manage malaria, the illness is still a serious public health problem in areas where it is endemic, especially in the unique lowlands in the Borena zone.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malaria and associated factors among children in Borena's pastoral communities, Oromia Regional State, southern Ethiopia, in 2022.
Associations With Adverse Postoperative Outcomes in Children Undergoing Atrial Septal Defect Closure in Lower-Resource Settings.
JACC Adv
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are a common cause of congenital heart disease worldwide.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to assess change over time in surgical outcomes for ASD repair and identify patient-level risk factors for adverse postoperative outcomes.
Methods: We analyzed cases of isolated ASD in patients <18 years from 2010 to 2020 from 71 sites participating in the International Quality Improvement Collaborative for Congenital Heart Disease.
Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery in Pediatric Patients.
Curr Pediatr Rep
May 2024
Coronary Artery Anomalies Program, Division of Cardiology, Texas Children's Hospital, 6651 Main Street MC-E1920, Houston, TX 77030 USA.
Purpose Of Review: We present a contemporary approach to risk assessment and management of patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA).
Recent Findings: Anomalous left coronary artery from the right aortic sinus (L-AAOCA) with interarterial course carries a high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD); therefore, current guidelines recommend exercise restriction and surgical intervention. Recent data in intraseptal and juxtacommissural L-AAOCA showed inducible perfusion abnormalities, leading to consideration of surgical intervention.
