Background: Viewing pictures activates the human brain in a complex manner. Stimulated brain areas can be identified by electrophysiological methods even in children.
Subjects And Method: Event related potentials (ERP) were recorded with EEG-surface electrodes in children and adolescents who were shown pictures of increasing complexity. Pictures were categorized into morphologic features such as brightness, color and pattern as well as semantic content.
Results: Presentation of comics and unstructured pictures, similar in color and brightness, revealed ERP with nearly identical early components (P 100). However, substantial differences were found in frontocentral brain areas. A negative wave at approximately 400 ms was recorded only when comics were shown.
Conclusions: Semantic scenes provoked significant different ERP, which indicate an early involvement of complex neuronal networks. These results could be applied in the research of pediatric cognitive disturbances.

Gene-environment interactions have been observed for childhood asthma, however few have been assessed in ethnically diverse populations. Thus, we examined how polygenic risk score (PRS) modifies the association between ambient air pollution exposure (nitrogen dioxide [NO], ozone, particulate matter < 2.5 and < 10 μm) and childhood asthma incidence in a diverse cohort.

Background: Teenage childbirth is an issue of social and public health concern in Ghana, with high prevalence in some regions, including the Central Region. There is a dire need to understand the experiences of teenagers beyond pregnancies to facilitate comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and service provision. We explored the postnatal experiences of teenage mothers in five communities in the Central Region of Ghana.

Background: We investigated factors associated with post-transplant growth in pediatric kidney transplant (KTx) recipients with a focus on plasma bicarbonate (HCO3) and estimated the effect of alkali treatment on growth.
Methods: In this study of the CERTAIN Registry, data were collected up to 5 years post-transplant. Generalized Additive Mixed Models were applied to assess the association between post-transplant growth and covariates.

Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of hereditary diseases marked by progressive muscle loss, leading to weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles. These conditions often result from structural defects in the Dystrophin-Glycoprotein Complex (DGC), as seen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD). Since MDs currently have no cure, research has focused on identifying potential therapeutic targets to improve patients' quality of life.

Timely and effective rescue of critically ill children no longer solely relies on advanced medical technology; vascular access plays a pivotal role. Best practice recommendations for nursing in vascular access are critical for ICU patients. However, clear guidelines for the maintenance of external infusion connection devices remain lacking.
