Aims: Determine if parental diabetes (DM) is associated with unhealthier cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profiles in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and whether associations differed by race/ethnicity.
Methods: Family history was available for 382 youth with T2D from 2001 prevalent and 2002-2005 incident SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth cohorts. Parental DM was evaluated in two ways: two-category-any parent vs. no parent DM (evaluated overall and stratified by race/ethnicity); and four-category-both parents, mother only, father only, or no parent DM (evaluated overall only). Associations with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting lipids, blood pressure (BP), and urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) were examined using regression models.
Results: Overall, sample characteristics included: 35.9% male, 19.1% non-Hispanic white (NHW), mean T2D duration 26.6±22.2months, mean HbA1c 7.9%±2.5% (62.6±27.8mmol/mol). Unadjusted two-category comparisons showed that youth with parental DM had higher HbA1c, higher DBP, and higher frequency of elevated ACR. Adjusted two-category comparisons showed associations remaining in non-stratified analysis for ACR [OR (95% CI)=2.3 (1.1, 5.0)] and in NHW youth for HbA1c [6.8%±0.4 vs. 8.0±0.4 (51.1±4.8 vs. 63.9±4.2mmol/mol), p=.015], DBP (67.7%±4.5 vs. 76.9±4.4mm Hg, p=.014) and lnTG (4.7±0.3 vs. 5.3±0.3, p=.008). There were no significant findings in the adjusted four-category evaluation.
Conclusions: Parental history of diabetes may be associated with unhealthier CVD risk factors in youth with T2D.

Digest: Evolution of redirected help in a viscous population.
Evolution

When broods fail, parents may assist neighbours' offspring, a behaviour called redirected helping that is observed in many species. Flatrès and Wild (2024) used inclusive fitness models to study this behaviour. They showed that redirected helping can evolve in viscous populations, where individuals stay near their birthplace, increasing relatedness and competition among neighbours, especially when helping costs are low.

Introduction: Children's early language and communication skills are efficiently measured using parent report, for example, communicative development inventories (CDIs). These have scalable potential to determine risk of later language delay, and associations between delay and risk factors such as prematurity and poverty. However, there may be measurement difficulties in parent reports, including anomalous directions of association between child age/socioeconomic status and reported language.

From the second half of the nineteenth-century treatment of "imbecile" children in Britain underwent significant change. Examining the period from 1870 to 1920 when imbecility became a discrete category, and a matter of concern in policy and practice, this paper focuses on conceptualizations around fright, idleness, morality, and parental mental state as behavioral, emotional, and psychological causes and attributions of "imbecility" in children. I view this in light of the Victorian emotional culture of "care and control," which was driven by a shift in cost-cutting and fear of the impact of "imbecile children" on society, justifying exclusions, defining boundaries, and driving change.

Dias-Logan syndrome, also known as intellectual developmental disorder with persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), or -related intellectual developmental disorder, is an extremely rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability (ID), delayed psychomotor development, variable dysmorphic features, and asymptomatic persistence of fetal hemoglobin. The prevalence and incidence of this condition are currently unknown. We report an 8-year-old Han Chinese male patient with Dias-Logan syndrome who carries a heterozygous pathogenic variant, c.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between maltreatment and psychological well-being among preschool children and explore parent-child interaction's moderating role on this association.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design and multistage stratified cluster random sampling method. Between December 2022 and January 2023, 180 kindergartens in the Hainan province-encompassing 4,886 newly enrolled children as participants-were selected.
