In a rapidly changing health care environment, it is more important than ever that pharmaceutical manufacturers improve the quality and efficiency of their research and development efforts in order to help ensure the right drug gets to the right patient at the right time. The evolving role of the Medical Affairs, Health Economics & Outcomes Research (HEOR) and other functions engaged in evidence generation within the pharmaceutical industry is leading to earlier involvement in the clinical development process so that the proof of concept for new therapies can be more strongly linked to the proof of medical value. In this article, the authors outline key components of an Early Engagement Model that connects the proof of concept to proof of medical value through a systematic approach linking molecular profile with early insights on disease, unmet needs, stakeholder requirements, and patient-centric differentiation.

Family physicians must recognize when these indicate an underlying disorder and offer constructive and evidence-based strategies to support healthy child development and family well-being. Behavioral interventions and education to address sleep issues can alleviate stress and decrease fatigue for the whole family.

Objective: Wearable technology has potential benefits for clinical measurement with children who have neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). However, this cohort may experience sensory processing disorder, behavioral dysregulation, and cognitive challenges. For effective and considerate implementation, the experiences and views of parents of children with NDDs on this topic need in-depth investigation.

Background: Disordered eating (DE) is highly prevalent among adolescents, though its definition varies. The association between DE and early pubertal maturation (EPM) remains underexplored in Israel, and has not been sufficiently examined using the widely-used SCOFF questionnaire. This study examines these associations in adolescents.

Introduction: Effective prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) programmes require women and their infants to have access to a cascade of HIV care and treatment interventions. Retention in care reduces the risk of vertical transmission and opportunistic infections among mothers living with HIV. Uganda has made great strides in ensuring the success of the prevention of mother to child transmission program.
