This study examined how deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) and typically hearing (TH) children may differ in their family system and emotional functioning and examined the relations between family system and children's emotional functioning. Parents of 106 DHH and 99 TH children (2-6 years) reported on family cohesion and adaptability, parental emotion communication, and their child's emotional functioning. The DHH children were rated lower on family cohesion and positive emotion expression than the TH children. Higher levels of family cohesion related to more positive emotion expression in TH children but not in DHH children. For all children, higher levels of family cohesion related to fewer negative emotion expressions and more parental emotion communication related to more negative emotion expression. The results emphasize the importance of sharing leisure activities together and open communication within the family, which can support DHH and TH children's experience of emotions and their expressions of them.

The cerebellum is a structure in the suprasegmental nervous system classically known for its involvement in motor functions such as motor planning, coordination, and motor learning. However, with scientific advances, other functions of the cerebellum, such as cognitive, emotional, and autonomic processing, have been discovered. Currently, there is a body of evidence demonstrating the involvement of the cerebellum in nociception and pain processing.

Children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be more susceptible to early life stress compared to their neurotypical peers. This increased susceptibility may be linked to regionally-specific changes in the striatum and amygdala, brain regions sensitive to stress and critical for shaping maladaptive behavioural responses. This study examined early life stress and its impact on striatal and amygdala development in 62 children and adolescents (35 males, mean age = 10.

Objectives: Tested the prospective relationship of a resilient personality prototype determined prior to disability onset to well-being among persons with and without debilitating functional impairments nine to 10 years later. A resilient profile was expected to predict well-being through its beneficial associations with positive affect, perceived control and social support.
Design: Longitudinal, prospective observation study.

Pectus excavatum, also known as sunken chest or funnel chest, is a structural deformity of the anterior chest wall, characterized by an inward sternum. This condition can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular issues, although it is often addressed for aesthetic reasons. This perspective article reviews the experiences of multiple centers in treating pectus excavatum, to explore whether a clear boundary exists between pathological and aesthetic needs.

: To assess the effects of a two-week course of intensive impairment-oriented arm rehabilitation for chronic stroke survivors on motor function. : An observational cohort study that enrolled chronic stroke survivors (≥6 months after stroke) with mild to severe arm paresis, who received a two-week course of impairment-oriented and technology-supported arm rehabilitation (1:1 participant-therapist setting), which was carried out daily (five days a week) for four hours. The outcome measures were as follows: the primary outcome was the arm motor function of the affected arm (mild paresis: BBT, NHPT; severe paresis: Fugl-Meyer arm motor score).
