Objective: To examine whether weight recovery among children with weight faltering varied by enrollment age and child and household risk factors.
Study Design: Observational, conducted in an interdisciplinary specialty practice with a skill-building mealtime behavior intervention, including coaching with video-recorded interactions. Eligibility included age 6-36 months with weight/age
Results: Enrolled 286 children (mean age 18.8 months, SD 6.8). Significant weight/age recovery occurred regardless of risk index or age. Mean weight/age z-score change was significantly greater among younger compared with older age (0.29 vs 0.17, P = .03); top household risk quartile compared with reference (0.34 vs 0.22, P = .046); and marginally greater among top child risk quartile compared with reference (0.37 vs 0.25, P = .058). Mean weight/age z-score change was not associated with single risk factors or interactions; greatest weight gain occurred in most underweight children.
Conclusions: Weight recovery over 6 months was statistically significant, although modest, and greater among younger children and among children with multiple child and household risk factors. Findings support differential susceptibility theory, whereby some children with multiple risk factors are differentially responsive to intervention. Future investigations should evaluate components of the mealtime behavior intervention.

Neuroendoscopic lavage for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity: preliminary results at a single institution in the United States.

Objective: The current neurosurgical treatment for intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) of prematurity resulting in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) seeks to reduce intracranial pressure with temporary and then permanent CSF diversion. In contrast, neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL) directly addresses the intraventricular blood that is hypothesized to damage the ependyma and parenchyma, leading to ventricular dilation and hydrocephalus. The authors sought to determine the feasibility of NEL in PHH.

Risk factors contributing to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can be addressed through behavior modification, including changes in diet and physical activity. In 2021, The Wellness Institute (WI), located at Seven Oaks General Hospital, created a virtual cardiometabolic risk reduction program in response to COVID-19 pandemic public health restrictions, encompassing virtual health coaching and lifestyle education. The objective was to evaluate the acceptability, adherence, efficacy and engagement of the WI online cardiometabolic and weight loss program.

Background: To date, no studies have evaluated the longevity of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and pes planovalgus. This study aimed to explore the changes in foot alignment following CLO in patients with CP, utilizing both radiographic evaluations and dynamic foot-pressure assessments.
Methods: A retrospective study of 282 feet in 180 ambulatory patients was performed.

Background: Stunting is a vital indicator of chronic undernutrition that reveals a failure to reach linear growth. Investigating growth and nutrition status during adolescence, in addition to infancy and childhood is very crucial. However, the available studies in Ethiopia have been usually focused in early childhood and they used the traditional stastical methods.
