"Folks in some foundations are quietly expressing frustration that they've been cautioned to stay in their lane and only fund things aligned with their pre-COVID strategy," says Stacey Childress.

Serious study is needed to find out why people can't look away from their screens.

University of Texas at Austin researchers find that the presence of your mobile phone in the room is all it takes to crater overall brain power. Here's how to use that to your advantage.

I'm amazed at how reliant this younger generation is on their smartphones. I think it's weird, but you can use that generation's screen addiction to your benefit.

For three decades now, the artist and playwright John Byrne has been sitting regularly for photographer David Eustace, the Glasgow-born photographer who left school at 16 and joined first the navy and then the prison service before settling on a career behind a camera.

The Herald, in proud partnership with Royal Bank of Scotland, is inviting the country's photographers to enter their most accomplished work in a new competition which celebrates the launch of a stunning new £20 banknote design.

A federal appeals court panel in St. Louis rules that a police officer did not violate the rights of a 7-year-old when he handcuffed the student for 20 minutes.

The newly formed group, which plans to challenge the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation for market share, wants feedback from the public on its proposed standards and processes.

Having transferred to Penn State Schuylkill from another school her sophomore year, current senior Morgan Edge didn’t let a non-traditional start hold her back. She succeeded academically and athletically, captaining the women’s basketball team this year and leading them from an 0-23 season in 2018-19 to a PSUAC playoff berth in 2019-20.

Little is known about the pharmacokinetics and required dosage of metronidazole in preterm neonates.

In this study the pharmacokinetics of metronidazole in preterm neonates was investigated by measurement of the drug in dried blood-spot samples. A dosage regimen is proposed that should result in more appropriate, less frequent dosing in the most preterm neonates. (Read the full article)

The use of steroids as a treatment for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy results in a slower progression in weakness. Bisphosphonates often are used in conjunction with steroid therapy to enhance bone health.

The combination of steroids and bisphosphonates seems to be associated with significantly improved survival rates compared with treatment with steroids alone. (Read the full article)

The professionalism of physicians can have an impact on patient care and satisfaction and physician career success and is increasingly emphasized in residency training programs.

This study was an examination of the perspectives of families of pediatric patients and of pediatrics residents on the attributes of professionalism in physicians. Important overlaps were found between the attributes of professionalism prioritized by patient families and resident physicians. (Read the full article)

Many patient and family demographic characteristics are well-known risk factors for nonurgent emergency-department use. No previous study has examined the primary care physician perspective on parental decisions regarding specific nonurgent emergency-department visits by children.

When discussing specific instances when families in their practices sought nonurgent care for children in the emergency department, physicians believed that parents acted appropriately. Neither parents nor primary care physicians saw nonurgent emergency-department visits as a significant enough problem to warrant change. (Read the full article)

Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is a progressive, inherited neuromuscular disease manifesting with diaphragmatic paralysis in the first year of life. All patients need mechanical ventilation.

We describe the natural course of SMARD1, developed a scoring system, and defined prognostic values. The clinical outcome of the patients was heterogeneous, and residual enzymatic activity of the IGHMBP2 protein was associated with a more benign disease course. (Read the full article)

Three-fourths of US preschool-age children are in child care; many are not achieving recommended levels of physical activity. Daily physical activity is essential for motor and socioemotional development and for the prevention of obesity. Little is known about physical-activity barriers in child care.

Injury and school-readiness concerns may inhibit children’s physical activity in child care. Fixed playground equipment that meets licensing codes is unchallenging and uninteresting to children. Centers may cut time and space for gross motor play to address concerns about school readiness. (Read the full article)

Upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) are very common in children. Currently, there are no effective preventive measures for URI. There are no studies on the effect of montelukast for prevention of URI.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of preschool-aged children, 12-week prophylactic treatment with montelukast did not reduce the incidence of URI. (Read the full article)

Candidate genes involved in thrombophilia, inflammation, and preterm birth have previously been associated with cerebral palsy. Most studies to date have included small cohorts, did not allow for multiple testing, and require replication.

This study of children with cerebral palsy and their mothers did not confirm previously reported candidate gene associations. Prothrombin gene mutation was associated with hemiplegia in children born at term to mothers with a reported infection during pregnancy. (Read the full article)

The standard initial management for infants and children with acute pyelonephritis is intravenous antibiotic treatment.

Our results support the use of an oral cefixime treatment of initial episodes of acute pyelonephritis involving a gram-negative bacteria strain in children aged 1 month to 3 years who are without urological abnormalities and without clinical hemodynamic impairment. (Read the full article)

Limited data exist about the frequency and incidence of serious injuries due to physical abuse of children. Data from Child Protective Services, which are published yearly, do not have information about severity.

This is the first study to provide US estimates on the occurrence of serious injuries due to physical abuse. The incidence was highest in infants on Medicaid. Such data can be used to track changes due to prevention. (Read the full article)

The social and emotional burdens of ostracism are well known, but few studies have tested whether ostracism adversely alters physical activity behaviors that may result in maintenance of childhood obesity.

This is the first study to experimentally assess the effect of simulated ostracism, or social exclusion, on physical activity behavior in children. Ostracism reduced accelerometer counts by 22% and increased time allocated to sedentary behaviors by 41%. (Read the full article)

Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is the diagnosis for encephalopathy caused by continuous epileptic activity on EEG. It is a well-known cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill adults and neonates. NCSE is increasingly reported in critically ill children.

We show that NCSE is common in all inpatient settings, not only in the critically ill. Key risk factors that should dramatically increase suspicion of NCSE in clinical practice include a history of convulsive seizure and acute imaging abnormalities. (Read the full article)

Recent studies report that overall computed tomography utilization in the emergency department has continued to rise. Increased computed tomography use is concerning because of the association with radiation exposure and the potential risk of radiation-induced malignancy, which is highest in children.

Our data showed no overall increase in computed tomography utilization through 2010. In areas where alternative non–radiation-based modalities were options, there were decreased trends in computed tomography use and increased use of potential alternative non–radiation-based modalities.

Most states require driver education (DE) for novice drivers, and several recent substantial efforts have sought to realign DE with the aim of producing safer drivers. However, teen participation rates and how they differ among relevant subgroups remain unknown.

This study provides national estimates of teen driver participation in formal DE, a recognized gap in the literature, and identifies disparities in behind-the-wheel training among certain racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender groups, particularly in jurisdictions without a DE requirement.

There is evidence of an impaired respiratory regulation in SIDS, in which serotonergic and noradrenergic neurons are involved. Monoamine oxidase A is the enzyme that degrades both neurotransmitters, and genetic variation of this gene might contribute to SIDS.

Alleles with weak effect on the monoamine oxidase A gene activity (*2/*3) appear to be associated with sudden infant death syndrome in boys. This association is strongest in infants who died at the age with the highest SIDS prevalence. (Read the full article)

Rare diseases in childhood can be debilitating and require lifelong care. Since 1983, the Orphan Drug Act incentives have stimulated the development and significantly improved the availability of treatment products for patients with rare diseases.

We report an increasing pediatric orphan product designations and approvals from 2000 to 2009. The trend indicates that the Orphan Drug Act has continued to address this important unmet need. (Read the full article)

Active video games can enable children under laboratory conditions to participate in moderate, and even vigorous, physical activity. There are inconsistencies in the literature, however, about whether active video games enable children to increase physical activity under more naturalistic circumstances.

This study tests whether children receiving a new active video game spontaneously engaged in more physical activity, and whether commercially available active video games have a public health benefit. No additional physical activity was detected, suggesting no public health benefit. (Read the full article)

There is a perception among clinicians that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia and/or meningitis result in a greater burden of disease than invasive infections attributed to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.

VLBW infants with MRSA and MSSA bacteremia and/or meningitis have equivalent morbidity and mortality. These findings suggest that allocation of resources for prevention and treatment of both MRSA and MSSA infections among VLBW infants should be comparable. (Read the full article)

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis incidence varies over different regions and time periods. Recently, a decline was reported in the United States, Sweden (concurrent with a decline in sudden infant death syndrome), Scotland, and Denmark. The etiology remains unclear; therefore, epidemiologic data are valuable.

A decline in the incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Germany from 2000 to 2008 was noted but with wide regional variations. The regional distribution of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was different from that of sudden infant death syndrome. (Read the full article)

Prenatal methamphetamine exposure has been related to deficits in fetal growth, changes in infant neurobehavior, and fine motor deficits, but little is known about its developmental effects on behavior problems in early childhood.

This is the first prospective study to identify behavior problems associated with prenatal methamphetamine exposure. Mood difficulties and acting-out behavior are increased in exposed children by age 3 years. Early identification and intervention may prevent escalation into delinquency and psychopathology.

Emergency contraception is a safe and effective method of pregnancy prevention after unprotected intercourse.

Pharmacies commonly communicate misinformation, both to adolescents and to physicians, concerning who is able to access emergency contraception and through what means. (Read the full article)

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of infections in infants. Staphylococcal colonization is a known risk factor for infection, but whether maternal colonization plays a role in subsequent colonization in the infant is unclear.

This prospective study found that infants born to women colonized with S aureus either during their third trimester of pregnancy or at the time of delivery are more likely to harbor S aureus than are those born to noncolonized women. (Read the full article)

Nearly one-third of all US children are overweight or obese, with even higher prevalence among Mexican American children. Overweight and obesity increase systemic inflammation, contributing to increased risk for chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.

Obese Mexican American children had concurrent alterations in both inflammatory markers and traditional disease risk markers, relative to healthy weight children. Our results provide evidence partially explaining the health disparity for disease in Mexican American children who are overweight/obese. (Read the full article)

Although all residents progressively assume responsibility for clinical skills under the teaching and supervision of attending physicians, senior residents also assume responsibility for teaching and supervising. This leads to a dynamic negotiation of responsibilities, particularly on clinical work rounds.

A better understanding of how attending physicians and senior residents negotiate shared responsibilities for teaching and supervising, and the context in which this negotiation occurs, may clarify assumptions and set expectations for resident training. (Read the full article)

The presumed causes of neonatal deaths globally have remained unchanged over the past decade and include infections (~30%), prematurity (~30%), and asphyxia (~25%). Great uncertainty surrounds these estimates and, in addition, cases are likely misclassified as stillbirths.

These observational findings indicate that asphyxia accounts for a much higher percentage (60% of early deaths). Prematurity (18%), low birth weight (8%), and overt infection are much less common. The 5-minute Apgar score is an unreliable indicator of birth asphyxia. (Read the full article)

High or low lymphocyte counts at birth have been reported as a marker for subsequent intraventricular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity, and periventricular leukomalacia. However, this conclusion is questionable because reference ranges for lymphocyte counts have not been constructed by using large numbers of neonates.

This study provides reference ranges for lymphocytes of neonates. A high count at birth is associated with early onset sepsis and IVH and a low count with early onset sepsis, IVH, and retinopathy of prematurity. Among neonates with birth asphyxia, a low count identifies a high risk for death. (Read the full article)

We know that many evidence-based treatments for acute asthma are underused, and adherence with treatment guidelines is poor; however, studies have focused on β₂ agonists and corticosteroids, but little is known about intravenous magnesium, which has substantial evidence of benefit.

Magnesium is used infrequently in Canadian pediatric emergency departments in hospitalized children with acute asthma, with variation across sites. More than half of this population does not receive frequent bronchodilators and timely corticosteroids. (Read the full article)

Pain during routine infant immunization causes parental anxiety. Oral sucrose solutions are effective pain-reduction strategies. Few studies have measured a combined strategy of a physical intervention along with sucrose to decrease the infant’s pain response.

We demonstrate that a physical, nonpharmacological intervention called the 5 S’s (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging, and sucking) provides significant pain reduction with or without sucrose during routine 2- and 4-month vaccinations. (Read the full article)
