Patients with Reye's syndrome (RS) whose degree of severity was classified as stage 0 (alert and awake) were compared with patients with a severity classification of stage 1 or greater. The Centers for Disease Control case definition and staging criteria were used. Two hundred twenty-seven patients with RS were investigated by the Ohio Department of Health from Dec 1, 1978, through March 31, 1980. There were 67 identified patients who never exceeded stage 0 and 160 patients classified as stage 1 or greater. Both groups of patients were compared according to demographic features, symptomatology, medication use during the antecedent illness, and laboratory findings during the RS illness. Stage 0 patients were similar to patients at stage 1 or greater in their demographic features, illnesses, medications preceding RS, and results of liver function tests; however, values of serum ammonia, creatine phosphokinase, prothrombin time, and bilirubin increased with RS severity.

Exploration of cognitive flexibility and emotion recognition in adolescents with eating disorders.
J Int Neuropsychol Soc
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: This study compared cognitive flexibility (CF) and emotion recognition (ER) in adolescents with eating disorders (ED) to a healthy group.
Methods: Forty healthy individuals aged 12-18 years with no psychiatric diagnosis and 46 patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or binge eating disorder (BED) according to DSM-5 criteria participated. CF was assessed using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS), Stroop Test, and Berg Card Sorting Test (BCST), while ER was evaluated using the test of perception of affect via nonverbal cues.
Posterior urethral valves: Examining the relationship of socioeconomic factors in disease presentation and progression.
J Pediatr Urol
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Urology, Department of Urology, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Introduction: A significant portion of posterior urethral valve patients continue to progress to end stage renal disease despite improvements in medical care. Socioeconomic status has been connected to various healthcare outcomes but has not been evaluated in relation to longitudinal outcomes of posterior urethral valves.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of socioeconomic status on the progression to renal failure among patients with posterior urethral valves.
Objectives: To determine (1) which maternal and area characteristics are associated with reaching fidelity targets (the expected number of visits mothers should receive at each stage of the programme) in the Family-Nurse Partnership (FNP), and (2) whether achieving these fidelity targets affects outcomes.
Design, Setting And Population: Cohort study of mothers enrolled in the FNP, aged 13-19 years, giving birth between April 2010 and January 2018 in England. Mothers were linked to their Hospital Episode Statistics and National Pupil Database records.

Aim: To explore women's perceived involvement in decisions about care depending on the maternity care pathway received.
Methods: Mixed-methods secondary analysis of data from the Irish National Maternity Experience Survey 2020.
Administering the Lidcombe Program to children who stutter with concomitant disorders: Insights from an exploratory retrospective chart review study.
J Fluency Disord
January 2025
School of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Université de Montréal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Purpose: Children who stutter (CWS) in clinical settings may present with concomitant disorders (CDs), which can complexify the delivery of the Lidcombe Program (LP). However, there is limited evidence on how CDs influence treatment outcomes in CWS, leaving clinicians with little guidance regarding best practices with these children. This exploratory study, conducted in partnership with a rehabilitation center's clinical team, aims to understand which CDs and suspected CDs speech-language pathologists document when treating CWS with the LP and their relationship to treatment characteristics and outcomes.
