Problem: Children born prematurely have been shown to have a range of problems that often result in delayed academic achievement.
Methods: The current study assessed both attention problem scores (Child Behavior Checklist) and actual performance on tasks tapping three attention networks in a sample of children (n = 94) born with very low birth weights (VLBW; < or = 1500 grams).
Findings: Attention problem scores were extremely low and did not predict children's actual attention performance.
Conclusions: A body of research is developing that suggests VLBW children may have specific, yet subtle, attention problems that may differ from those of other children.

Subacute, painful weakness is a common problem encountered by neurologists and can be associated with systemic symptoms. The patient presented with 6 weeks of progressive neuropathic pain followed by sensory changes and distal-predominant weakness. This case reviews the broad differential for such a presentation and a comprehensive, stepwise approach to diagnosis.

Due to their considerable chemical diversity, metal compounds are attracting increasing and renewed attention from the scientific and medical communities as potential antimicrobial agents to combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. The development of metal compounds as antimicrobial agents typically follows classical drug discovery procedures and suffers from the same problems; indeed, these procedures can be very expensive and time-consuming, and carry an intrinsically high risk of failure. Here, we show how some established drug discovery approaches can be conveniently and successfully applied to antimicrobial metal compounds to provide some shortcuts for faster clinical translation of new treatments.

Dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) has shown promise in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, extracting highly discriminative information from the complex DFC matrix remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an ASD classification framework PSA-FCN which is based on time-aligned DFC and Prob-Sparse Self-Attention to address this problem.
