prac Practical Locally Private Heavy Hitters By Published On :: 2020 We present new practical local differentially private heavy hitters algorithms achieving optimal or near-optimal worst-case error and running time -- TreeHist and Bitstogram. In both algorithms, server running time is $ ilde O(n)$ and user running time is $ ilde O(1)$, hence improving on the prior state-of-the-art result of Bassily and Smith [STOC 2015] requiring $O(n^{5/2})$ server time and $O(n^{3/2})$ user time. With a typically large number of participants in local algorithms (in the millions), this reduction in time complexity, in particular at the user side, is crucial for making locally private heavy hitters algorithms usable in practice. We implemented Algorithm TreeHist to verify our theoretical analysis and compared its performance with the performance of Google's RAPPOR code. Full Article

Over the past decade, the combined network has conducted >2 dozen clinical studies, established clinical pathways for best practice, developed tool kits for professionals and families to support better care, and disseminated these works through numerous presentations at scientific meetings and publications in medical journals. As the joint network enters its second decade continuing this work, it is undergoing a transformation to increase these activities and accelerate their incorporation into clinical care at the primary care and specialty care levels. In this article, we describe the past accomplishments and present activities. We also outline planned undertakings such as the establishment of the Autism Learning Health Network, the increasing role of family members as co-producers of the work of the network, the growth of clinical trials activities with funding from foundations and industry, and expansion of work with primary care practices and autism specialty centers. We also discuss the challenges of supporting network activities and potential solutions to sustain the network. Full Article

Other interventions, such as antiemetic administration, vary according to location, often resulting in differences in cost and outcomes. In this nationwide cohort, intravenous rehydration use varied dramatically. Use was associated with the institution providing care and an increase in the need for future health care provider visits. Use of ondansetron also varied significantly across Canada. (Read the full article) Full Article

The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended which groups should be administered palivizumab for the best clinical and cost-effective outcomes.In a primary practice, palivizumab was frequently used for children outside the recommended groups. Through close oversight and education, the use of palivizumab outside of recommendations was decreased. Palivizumab primary practice usage issues such as proper numbers of doses and timely administration need improvement. (Read the full article) Full Article
prac Bed- and Sofa-Sharing Practices in a UK Biethnic Population By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-02-20T00:08:19-08:00 Parent-infant bed-sharing is a common behavior of breastfeeding mothers and various ethnic groups. Under certain circumstances, it is associated with an increased risk of sudden infant death. Blanket prohibitions against bed-sharing conflict with breastfeeding promotion and inhibit safe bed-sharing discussion.Bed-sharing and sofa-sharing were almost mutually exclusive. Pakistani families avoided sofa-sharing and hazardous bed-sharing, and have a very low rate of sudden infant death syndrome. White British families were more likely to smoke, drink alcohol, and sofa-share with their infants. (Read the full article) Full Article

Few studies have explored the maternity experiences or practices of adolescents that may underlie these differences, or compared these with nonadolescents by using a nationally representative sample.Adolescents and young adults were more likely to experience physical abuse, late prenatal care initiation, poor prenatal health behaviors, lower breastfeeding initiation and duration rates, postpartum depression, and lower folic acid supplementation than adult women.

Early feeding practices lay the foundation for food preferences and eating behavior and may contribute to future obesity risk. High-quality obesity prevention trials commencing in infancy are rare.In this large randomized controlled trial, anticipatory guidance on the "when, what, and how" of complementary feeding was associated with increased maternal "protective" feeding practices.

prac Differential Maternal Feeding Practices, Eating Self-Regulation, and Adiposity in Young Twins By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-10-13T00:06:26-07:00 Restrictive feeding by parents is associated with poorer eating self-regulation and increased child weight status. However, this association could be due to confounding home environmental or genetic factors that are challenging to control.Differential maternal restrictive feeding is associated with differences in twins' caloric compensation and BMI z score. Controlling for the shared home environment and partially for genetics, these findings further support a true (ie, unconfounded) association between restriction and childhood obesity.
