Background: Previous studies suggest that early developmental delay is a common feature of Juvenile-Onset Huntington's disease (JOHD), with highest incidence in those with very high CAG repeats (> 80). However, all reports of developmental delay in JOHD are exclusively based on retrospective review of medical charts. Comprehensive assessment of birth history metrics may provide better insight into the question of early life development in JOHD.

Objectives: There is an under recognition of juvenile-onset localized scleroderma and its extracutaneous manifestations leading to delay in systemic treatment. Our study aims to address this gap by describing the demographics, presentation, associated family history, concurrent autoimmune disease, extracutaneous manifestations, laboratory evaluation, treatment, and course of disease in juvenile-onset localized scleroderma patients enrolled in the National Registry for Childhood Onset Scleroderma.
Methods: Participants for this study were derived from the National Registry for Childhood Onset Scleroderma and included 341 patients with juvenile-onset localized scleroderma.

Childhood dementias are a group of rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorders, characterised by global cognitive decline, loss of previously acquired developmental skills and behaviours and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Batten disease, or neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, and Sanfilippo syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis type III, are two of the more common forms of childhood dementia disorders worldwide. While psychosocial interventions are the best available therapeutic approach for BPSD management in adult-onset dementia, there is very limited literature or clinical experience in the context of childhood dementia.

Background: Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) is an uncommon yet severe autoimmune/inflammatory condition affecting multiple bodily systems, typically manifest-ing before the age of 18. This disease exhibits significant complexity, displaying considerable variation among patients. Its effects can range in severity from minor to fatal, characterized by a pattern of recurring flare-ups and periods of remission, making its natural progression difficult to predict.
