Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess acceptability of study design and utility of assessment tools for determining causes of sleep disturbance in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and their caregivers.
Design And Methods: This pilot study explored parental report (n = 8) of the child's sleep using a validated sleep questionnaire, a survey, and a time use diary.
Results: The selected tools were appropriate. Study design provided challenges for recruitment. Future research should include qualitative data.
Practice Implications: Although further research is required to confirm results, sleep problems for children with CP and resulting sleep disturbances for caregivers may be an important part of clinical assessment.

Introduction: Data regarding the incidence of 12-month postoperative cognitive decline following regional or general anaesthesia in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery remain observational. Compared with general anaesthesia, we hypothesised that regional anaesthesia would decrease the incidence of 12-month postoperative cognitive decline.
Methods: This is substudy of a multicentre randomised trial of regional anaesthesia with no sedation vs.
Neonatal Nutrition and Brain Structure at 7 Years in Children Born Very Preterm.

Importance: Neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth has long lasting effects on brain development. However, it is uncertain whether these effects are associated with improved or impaired brain maturation.
Objective: To assess the association of neonatal protein intake following very preterm birth with brain structure at 7 years of age.
Maternal Emotional Availability Supports Child Communicative Development Regardless of Child Temperament-Findings From the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study.

FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study, Turku Brain and Mind Center, Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
The interplay of emotional availability (EA) and child temperament in association with early language development is understudied. We explored associations between maternal EA and infant communicative development and possible moderations by child temperament. Participants were 151 mother-child dyads from the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study.

Word problems are essential for math learning and education, bridging numerical knowledge with real-world applications. Despite their importance, the neural mechanisms underlying word problem solving, especially in children, remain poorly understood. Here, we examine children's cognitive and brain response profiles for arithmetic word problems (AWPs), which involve one-step mathematical operations, and compare them with nonarithmetic word problems (NWPs), structured as parallel narratives without numerical operations.

COVID-19 disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has significantly altered modern society and lifestyles. We investigated its impact on brain glucose metabolism by meta-analyzing existing studies that utilized 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans of the brain. We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to August 2024 for English-language publications using the keywords "positron emission tomography", and "COVID-19".
