Pediatricians play a key role in identifying neonates with hip instability or at risk for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH); however, the clinical practices related to screening and further management in India are unknown. A web-based survey was circulated to members of the National Neonatology Forum of India (NNFI). Of the 231 eligible responses, about 92% were from an urban setup. It was noted that 38% (88/231) had not diagnosed any DDH in the past 12 mo, 8% (17/224) had diagnosed cases beyond walking age, 50% (116/231) would pursue further evaluation in children < 3 mo with risk-factors and normal hip exam, 53% (122/229) were aware of hip-safe swaddling, 30% (68/226) were comfortable with performing Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers and < 50% (107/226) were aware of the current guidelines for the management of DDH. Almost all respondents (97.3%, 220/226) felt a need for a DDH care pathway for screening and early management in India. Thus, substantial deficits and variability in screening practices for DDH amongst pediatricians in India.

Evidence shows that parents of children with chronic illnesses are mentally stressed. Thus far, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is unexplored in relation to its impact on mothers' well-being. The study aimed at contributing to fill this gap by exploring mothers' mental health facing infants' DDH, at the diagnosis time and by the end of the treatment; possible moderators of changes over time were mothers' hip worries, compliance to treatment, and severity of babies' DDH.

Background: Autophagy and immunity play important regulatory roles in lung developmental disorders. However, there is currently a lack of bioinformatics analysis on autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and immune infiltration in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We aim to screen and validate the signature genes of BPD by bioinformatics and in vivo experiment.

Purpose: Corneal dysmorphologies (CDs) are typically classified as either regressive degenerative corneal dystrophies (CDtrs) or defective growth and differentiation-driven corneal dysplasias (CDyps). Both eye disorders have multifactorial etiologies. While previous work has elucidated many aspects of CDs, such as presenting symptoms, epidemiology, and pathophysiology, the genetic mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Objective: Determining the optimal osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip undergoing subtrochanteric osteotomy remains challenging due to the significant variability in pelvic and spinal alignment. Incorrect osteotomy length, compounded by pelvic or spinal tilt, can adversely affect postoperative gait and long-term outcomes. Therefore, this study could introduce a method to calculate the osteotomy length for patients with unilateral Crowe-IV developmental dysplasia of the hip, correcting spinal and pelvic tilt, and improving patient gait.

Background: Skeletal dysplasia (SD) represents a series of highly heterogeneous congenital genetic diseases affecting the human skeletal system. Refined genetic diagnosis is helpful for the accurate diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of SDs.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we recruited 26 cases of SD and analyzed them with a designed sequential genetic detection.
