Background: Pure partial trisomy of chromosome 5q is rare and cases have ranged over the entire region, making it difficult to describe a good phenotypic correlation to the cytogenetic duplication.
Case: We present a 4.5-year-old girl with a de novo direct duplication of chromosome 5q15-q23.2. She has moderate developmental delay with lack of speech, microcephaly, and subtle dysmorphic features including prominent forehead, bulbous nose, epicanthic folds, protruding tongue, and slightly posteriorly-rotated ears.
Conclusions: A comparison is made with other similar duplication cases reported in the literature and a general description of a proximal 5q duplication phenotype is given, with lack of speech as the principal feature.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder poses challenges in social communication and behavior, while Intellectual disabilities are characterized by deficits in cognitive, social, and adaptive skills, frequently accompanied by stereotypies and challenging behaviors. Despite the progress made in autism spectrum disorder research, there is often a lack of research focusing on individuals with co-occurring autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Robot-assisted autism therapies are effective in addressing these needs.

Before we married he told me his father died of early-onset Alzheimers and he was terrified he would inherit that disease. In his early 50s he began exhihibiting symptoms that I attributed to stress-his work as a respected high school teacher began to slip, he began to lose the ability to have a visual map in his head, he began to repeat stories, his behavior became more compulsive, forgot how he was related to a favorite cousin.

Background: There is a physiological association of the neck movements and jaw and tongue movements. However, there are no previous data regarding the performance of the tongue when the neck is under a lack of movement condition.
Objective: To quantify the tongue's maximal strength and mobility under an experimental restriction of cervical mobility.

Background: Late side effects of head and neck cancer treatment commonly affect swallowing function. Late radiation-associated dysphagia (late-RAD) often presents years post-treatment when patients have been discharged from their multidisciplinary team. Timely symptom management may provide important physical and emotional support, potentially reducing the overall healthcare burden.

Background: An increase in the prevalence of neurodevelopmental conditions worldwide, alongside resource constraints within clinical services, has led to increased interest in health information technologies, such as apps and digital resources. Digital tools are often viewed as a solution to bridge this divide and to increase supports for families. There is, however, a paucity of research that has evaluated digital health tools, their potential benefits for child neurodevelopment and associated concerns (eg, mental health, well-being), and their benefit for families.
