Aims: To describe longitudinal motor development in children treated with therapeutic- hypothermia (TH) due to neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and to explore motor functioning in early adolescence.
Material And Methods: Children treated with TH due to HIE during 2007-2009, in Stockholm, participated in a prospective follow-up study. Motor development was assessed on four occasions, reported as percentiles and at mean ages. Alberta Infant Motor Scale was used at 0.35 years of age, Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III at 2.1 years and Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) at 7.3 and 11.1 years of age. MABC-2 Checklist was completed by parents at 7.3 and 11.1 years of age. General cognition was assessed using Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children Fifth Edition (WISC-V).
Results: Thirty-one percent (14/45) of the children had a motor score ≤ 15 percentile, indicating risk of motor difficulties at 11.1 years of age, and simultaneously the scores from parents of 52% (23/44), indicating risk of motor difficulties in the everyday context. These children had significantly lower motor percentile at 2.1 years of age, but within the normal range. Longitudinal motor development displayed a weak association with WISC-V Full Scale IQ (r0.38, p = 0.013).
Conclusion: Among survivors of hypothermia-treated HIE free of moderate/severe cerebral palsy, a third had MABC-2 scores indicating risk of motor difficulties at 11.1 years of age. As motor difficulties became more apparent over time, we suggest that children treated with TH due to neonatal HIE should be followed into at least middle school age.

The incidence of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) is rising globally, significantly burdening healthcare resources. Treatment options include medical treatment, non-invasive procedures, and surgery, each associated with their distinct benefits and risks. With advanced treatment, the procedures become increasingly invasive for the patients and expensive for the society.

Background: Despite the increasing popularity of electronic devices, the longitudinal effects of daily prolonged electronic device usage on brain health and the aging process remain unclear.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the daily use of mobile phones/computers on the brain structure and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Methods: We used data from the UK Biobank, a longitudinal population-based cohort study, to analyze the impact of mobile phone use duration, weekly usage time, and playing computer games on the future brain structure and the future risk of various neurodegenerative diseases, including all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), all-cause parkinsonism (ACP), and Parkinson disease (PD).

From the Birmingham Hand Centre, University Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Background: Rates of recurrence, metastases, and mortality for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the upper limb have not been clearly defined.
Objective: We aimed to characterize these tumors and assess the long-term outcomes, comparing with current literature.
Methods And Materials: A retrospective review was performed on 100 consecutive primary cutaneous upper limb SCCs managed surgically by a single hand surgeon between 2012 and 2019.
Assessing Readability of Patient Education Materials on Adult-Acquired Buried Penis.
Ann Plast Surg
January 2025
From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Introduction: Adult-acquired buried penis (AABP) is an increasingly prevalent condition characterized by the penis "buried" in prepubic/suprapubic tissue. AABP affects urinary and sexual function, hygiene, and psychosocial well-being. Because many affected individuals are unfamiliar with the condition or hesitant to seek medical help, accessible, high-quality patient education materials (PEMs) are necessary.
