Objective: In the United States, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is significantly less diagnosed in Spanish-speaking populations compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Structural barriers such as transportation, insurance, and time have been documented within this population. However, many families also report language as a barrier. The present systematic literature review aims to evaluate research findings on the influence of Spanish language and culture on the ASD screening process.
Method: Five databases were searched using key words relating to the aim of the paper to identify potential articles to review. Inclusion criteria included: (1) sample of participants diagnosed with ASD/being evaluated for ASD, (2) Latinx populations that included Spanish-speaking participants, (3) a reference to language included as a research aim or study outcome, and (5) a focus on the screening process or measures for ASD. A total of 132 articles were initially identified.
Results: After reviewing for inclusion criteria, 22 articles were included. In total, six countries were represented across all included papers. Major themes emerged regarding barriers to care, cultural awareness, translation barriers, intervention, knowledge/awareness, and screener evaluation.
Discussion: Findings indicate that language and sociocultural differences can affect knowledge development, communication within healthcare settings, and result in a limited number of translated resources available for the heterogeneous population of Spanish-speakers.

Neuronal structural plasticity gives the adult brain the capacity to adapt to internal or external factors by structural and molecular changes. These plastic processes seem to be mediated, among others, by the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin through specific receptors (5-HTRs). Previous studies have shown that the maturation of granule cells in the hippocampus is mediated by 5-HT3.

Talbot effect based sensor measuring grating period change in subwavelength range.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 380009, India.
Talbot length, the distance between two consecutive self-image planes along the propagation axis for a periodic diffraction object (grating) illuminated by a plane wave, depends on the period of the object and the wavelength of illumination. This property makes the Talbot effect a straightforward technique for measuring the period of a periodic object (grating) by accurately determining the Talbot length for a given illumination wavelength. However, since the Talbot length scale is proportional to the square of the grating period, traditional Talbot techniques face challenges when dealing with smaller grating periods and minor changes in the grating period.

This longitudinal study explored the contribution of transcription skills, oral language abilities, and executive functions in kindergarten to written production in grade 1 among Spanish-speaking children (N = 191) through structural equation modeling (SEM). Three dimentions of written production were assessed, including productivity, quality, and syntactic complexity. Accordingly, three SEM models were tested to explore these relationships, and the estimated models for each endogenous variable demonstrated good fit.

Background: 3D technologies [Virtual and Augmented 3D planning, 3D printing (3DP), Additive Manufacturing (AM)] are rapidly being adopted in the healthcare sector, demonstrating their relevance in personalized medicine and the rapid development of medical devices. The study's purpose was to understand the state and evolution of 3DP/AM technologies at the Point-of-Care (PoC), its adoption, organization and process in Spanish hospitals and to understand and compare the evolution of the models, clinical applications, and challenges in utilizing the technology during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
Methods: This was a questionnaire-based qualitative and longitudinal study.
