The American Academy of Pediatrics (2016a) has made several recommendations regarding the safe positioning of infants by caregivers, including placing infants in a supine position for sleep and in prone for supervised periods of tummy time. However, caregivers may have difficulty adhering with these recommendations. A small, but growing, number of behavior analytic studies have examined these infant safety recommendations and strategies for increasing adherence. This review describes behavior analytic research on infant positioning and provides suggestions for future research.

Background/objectives: The failure of physiological left-right (LR) patterning, a critical embryological process responsible for establishing the asymmetric positioning of internal organs, leads to a spectrum of congenital abnormalities characterized by laterality defects, collectively known as "heterotaxy". biallelic variants have recently been associated with heterotaxy syndrome and congenital heart defects (CHD). However, the genotype-phenotype correlations and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood.

The occurrence of motor dysfunctions was assessed at the age of 5 to 7 years in 61 normocephalic infants with prenatal Zika virus exposure. Traditional neurological examination, Touwen neurological examination, Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2) and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) were used to identify Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Minimal Neurological Dysfunction (MND). A high frequency of motor dysfunctions was found, 47 (81.

With the increasing survival rates of premature infants and their associated respiratory problems, noninvasive ventilation has gained popularity in neonatal intensive care units. On the other hand, this equipment can be stressful for infants. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of white noise and sound reduction on the behavioral responses of premature infants under noninvasive ventilation.

Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Background And Aims: Despite a well-funded healthcare system with universal insurance coverage, Switzerland has one of the highest neonatal and infant mortality rates among high-income countries. Identifying avoidable risk factors targeted by evidence-based policies is a public health priority. We describe neonatal and infant mortality in Switzerland from 2011 to 2018 and explore associations with neonatal- and pregnancy-related variables, parental sociodemographic information, regional factors and socioeconomic position (SEP) using data from a long-term nationwide cohort study.
