Objectives: To determine neurodevelopment at two years in twins.
Methods: At two years of age, all twins ≥32 weeks, delivered in our center and not randomized in the Twin Birth Study, underwent a neurodevelopment screen using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ). Children with ≥1 abnormal ASQ domain score were evaluated by a pediatrician. Results were documented according to a planned cesarean section (PCS) or a planned vaginal delivery (PVD).
Results: An ASQ was obtained from 185 children (67%). No significant differences in percentages of abnormal scores were found between the PCS group and the PVD group or between twins A and B. Pediatric assessment revealed three children with a neurodevelopmental delay. Five other children were already under pediatric or general practitioner care for other reasons. One child with a congenital anomaly was born by a PCS, two twins A and five twins B were born in the PVD group.
Conclusion: ASQ screening revealed no significant differences in abnormal neurodevelopment in twins at two years of age according to the mode of delivery. Pediatric assessment suggested an increased incidence for abnormal neurodevelopment in twins B born by PVD.

India's National COVID Vaccination Program recommended vaccination of children ages 6-12 years in April 2022. This study assessed vaccine acceptance among mothers to better understand potential barriers and facilitators of national acceptance of pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Qualitative data were collected through three focus group discussions (FGDs) with mothers who had children younger than 12 years of age; FGD-1 was composed of mothers who worked at a tertiary medical center in India, whereas FGD-2 and FGD-3 were composed of mothers who sought care at urban and rural community health centers.

Sclerosis is a highly morbid manifestation of chronic GVHD (cGVHD), associated with distressing symptoms and significant long-term disability. A patient-reported outcome measure (PRO) for cGVHD-associated sclerosis is essential to advance therapeutic trials. We aimed to develop a PRO for adults with cGVHD-associated sclerosis and evaluate and refine its content validity.

Although recent evidence suggests that myeloid clonal hematopoiesis (M-CH) may influence lymphoma clinical outcome, its impact in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains unclear. Here, we report a comprehensive NGS-based analysis of the M-CH mutational landscape at baseline and follow-up in patients enrolled in the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) MCL0208 phase 3 trial (NCT02354313), evaluating lenalidomide maintenance versus observation after chemoimmunotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in untreated young MCL patients. Overall, 254/300 (85%) enrolled patients (median age 57 years [32-66]) had a baseline sample available for CH analysis.
