AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare coping strategies, stress reactions, and resilience in children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) against those without.
- Researchers conducted a case-control study involving 134 children with FGIDs and 135 matched controls, using questionnaires to assess stress responses and resilience.
- Results indicated that children with FGIDs were more proactive and less passively engaged during family stress, while their responses to peer and academic stress, as well as resilience scores, were similar to those of the controls.
Article Abstract
Our objective is to compare coping methods, stress responses, and resilience in children with and without functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in response to common sources of stress. We performed a case-control study. Children meeting criteria for FGIDs and matched controls completed measures of response to stress (Peer Stress, Family Stress, Academic Problems, and Recurrent Abdominal Pain versions of the Response to Stress Questionnaire) and resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10). We included 134 children with an FGID (57 with functional constipation and 74 with an abdominal pain-predominant FGID) and 135 controls. Children with FGIDs were more likely to take action (P < 0.001) and less likely to remain involuntarily engaged (P < 0.001) in response to family stress. Response to peer and academic stress and measures of resilience were similar between groups. Further research is needed to better understand the role that family stress and a child's response play in the pathophysiology of pediatric FGIDs.

Robust genetic characterization of paediatric AML has demonstrated that fusion oncogenes are highly prevalent drivers of AML leukemogenesis in young children. Identification of fusion oncogenes associated with adverse outcomes has facilitated risk stratification of patients, although successful development of precision medicine approaches for most fusion-driven AML subtypes have been historically challenging. This knowledge gap has been in part due to difficulties in targeting structural alterations involving transcription factors and in identification of a therapeutic window for selective inhibition of the oncofusion without deleterious effects upon essential wild-type proteins.

Objectives: Pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) patients experience high rates of morbidity, but comprehensive follow-up is not universal. We sought to identify predictors of functional decline in these children to guide future resource allocation.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in a quaternary children's hospital pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from July 2023 to December 2023.

For individuals with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD and BMD, respectively), transitioning to adulthood presents significant challenges. Although considerable attention has been given to facilitating medical transitions due to the complexity of these conditions, less focus has been placed on other aspects of the transition, such as achieving independence. This study assessed the transition needs of people with DMD or BMD, exploring various domains including health, education, employment, living arrangements, transportation, daily activities, and independent personal life.

Walking patterns can differ between children and adults, both kinematically and kinetically. However, the detailed nature of the ankle pattern has not been clarified. We investigated musculature, biomechanics, and muscle activation strategies and their relevance to walking performance in preschool (PS) and school children (SC), with adults (AD) as reference.
