Introduction: A recent scoping review identified histological chorioamnionitis (HCA), small for gestational age (SGA), and bubbly/cystic appearance on chest X-ray (bubbly/cystic CXR) as risk factors for severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). To further validate these results, a large-scale database was analyzed.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study included infants born at <28 weeks' gestational age between 2003 and 2016.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, but its genetic architecture remains incompletely characterized. Rare coding variants, which can profoundly impact gene function, represent an underexplored dimension of ADHD risk. In this study, we analyzed large-scale DNA sequencing datasets from ancestrally diverse cohorts and observed significant enrichment of rare protein-truncating and deleterious missense variants in highly evolutionarily constrained genes.

Preterm birth remains a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disability in offspring, prompting various preventive measures. However, controversies persist surrounding these approaches, particularly regarding beta-mimetic drugs. In Japan, it remains a concerning reality that ritodrine infusion continues to be used for long-term tocolysis in preterm labor, despite the warning issued by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Mass shootings have increasingly captured public attention in recent decades, prompting closer examination of the mental health of those responsible. This scrutiny often focuses on individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While epidemiological evidence is mixed on whether these individuals are more likely to commit acts of violence than the general public, certain behavioral characteristics may make them more vulnerable to extremist ideations.

Aims: To assess the reliability of the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) when conducted recorded telehealth sessions by novice and expert raters.
Methods: Ten assessors (six novice, four expert) independently rated recorded telehealth assessments of 23 neurodevelopmentally high-risk infants twice. Inter- and intra-rater reliability of subscale scores, total score and percentile rankings were determined.
