The Synergistic Effects of Preterm Birth and Parent Gender on the Linguistic and Interactive Features of Parent-Infant Conversations.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
March 2024
School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Purpose: To investigate the language environments experienced by preterm-born infants, this study compared the linguistic and interactive features of parent-infant conversations involving 2-year-old preterm- and term-born infants. The study also explored how mother-infant and father-infant conversations may be differentially affected by preterm/term birth status.
Method: Twenty-two preterm-born (< 37 weeks' gestation) and 25 term-born (≥ 37 weeks' gestation) 2-year-old infants engaged in dyadic mother/father-infant free-play interactions that were transcribed to quantify the linguistic (parental volubility, speech rate, lexical diversity, and morphosyntactic complexity) and interactive (infant/parent responsiveness, turn-taking, and conversational balance) features of parent-infant conversations.
The relationship between timing of onset of menarche and depressive symptoms from adolescence to adulthood.
Epidemiol Psychiatr Sci
September 2023
MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term effects of menarche timing on depressive symptoms in girls, focusing on whether early onset leads to increased depression in adulthood.
- Results indicate that although early menarche is linked to higher depressive symptoms at age 14, this association diminishes by age 24, suggesting no persistent effect into adulthood.
- Late menarche also correlates with lower depressive symptoms during adolescence but levels off by age 24, indicating that girls with later onset catch up to their peers in terms of depressive symptoms over time.
SALL4 Phenotype in Four Generations of One Family: An Interplay of the Upper Limb, Kidneys, and the Pituitary.
Horm Res Paediatr
April 2024
Department of Paediatrics, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and University Hospital Motol, Prague, Czechia,
Article Synopsis
- - The SALL4 gene is crucial for early embryonic development and its mutations can lead to several syndromes, including Duane-radial ray syndrome and Holt-Oram syndrome, as seen in a family with a pathogenic variant causing radial hypoplasia and kidney dystopia across generations.
- - The male proband, born small for gestational age, exhibited significant physical anomalies such as bilateral radial ray malformation and pelvic kidney dystopia, while lacking other major defects associated with SALL4 mutations.
- - At age 3.9, the proband was evaluated for short stature, revealing low growth hormone levels and ultimately starting growth hormone therapy at age 6.5, which resulted in anticipated catch-up growth. *
Analysis of longitudinal follow-up data of physical growth in singleton full-term small for gestational age infants.
J Int Med Res
December 2021
Department of Child Health Care, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children, Chongqing, China.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the catch-up growth pattern of singleton full-term small for gestational age (SGA) infants in the first year after birth.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was performed to assess singleton full-term SGA infants. Weight, length, and head circumference were measured at birth, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of age.
Socioeconomic circumstances and lung function growth from early adolescence to early adulthood.
Pediatr Res
December 2021
EPIUnit, Instituto de Saúde Pública, Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal.
Background: A reduced lung function in early adulthood is associated with respiratory and non-respiratory diseases and is a long-term predictor of mortality. This study investigated the association between early socioeconomic circumstances (SEC) and lung function growth trajectories from early adolescence until early adulthood.
Methods: We analysed data from the EPITeen population-based study, including adolescents born in 1990.
