Certain aspects of numerical processing show a connection with spatial abilities. Spatial abilities may be enhanced through the practice of origami. It is possible that the development of spatial abilities will support the development of numerical processing. The goal was to investigate whether spatial and numerical skills can be developed using origami and the folding of three-dimensional shapes. During the course of the 10-wk. training program, consisting of weekly 60-min. sessions, the performance of children with mathematical difficulties showed considerable improvement in spatial and numerical tasks as compared to the control group of children with mathematical difficulties.

Trends in BMI in Latin American Children With New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Over 3 Years.

Clin Diabetes

August 2024

Pharmacology Department, Instituto Univervistario CEMIC, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

This article reports the trends in BMI score (-BMI) and their correlation with insulin dose and A1C in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes from several Latin American centers. The researchers observed a significant increase in the -BMI from type 1 diabetes onset through the 3-year follow-up, with insulin dose as a significant covariate. Although insulin doses steadily increased, their impact on A1C did not appear to be optimal (mean A1C 8.

Introduction: Infertility has become a major global issue due to the trend of delaying marriage and advanced maternal age. Family/Birth cohort studies are essential for exploring ways to enhance health outcomes at both the individual and societal levels. However, there is a shortage of cohorts that include families who have utilized assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly initiated at the early stages before pregnancy.

Understanding and Streamlining Dose Finding: From Dose Simulation to Dose Estimation.

J Clin Pharmacol

January 2025

Pediatric Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics, University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB), University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.

Understanding drug dosing to fulfill safety and efficacy requirements in a patient population is an essential part of dose finding in clinical practice and drug development. The majority of current dose finding methods are simulation-based, which can be time consuming and resource intensive. Model-based simulations also do not guarantee that the dose, that will optimally fulfill the safety and efficacy endpoints, will be found.

Valve Frame Geometry and Arrhythmia Risk Following Self-Expanding Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement.

Pediatr Cardiol

January 2025

School of Medicine, Children's Hospital Colorado, The Heart Institute, University of Colorado Denver|Anschutz Medical Campus, 13123 E 16Th Ave, Box 100, Aurora, CO, 80045-2560, USA.

Though major complications during transcutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) are rare, clinically-significant ventricular arrythmia (CSVA) has been reported following self-expanding valve placement. We assess whether alterations in valve frame dimensions and geometry within the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) post-implantation in patients who underwent TPVR with Harmony TPV25 or Alterra contribute to CSVA risk. A single center review was performed of patients who underwent TPVR with either Harmony TPV25 or Alterra Pre-stent between August 2019 and April 2023.
