TL;DR: Problem-solving skills may help emerging adults adapt type 1 diabetes self-care in response to unpredictable schedules after high-school, and promoting these skills may prevent deteriorations in glycemic control during this risky period.

TL;DR: The existing knowledge of this condition is summarized and the protocols to help manage the care of the infant or child who presents with incontinentia pigmenti are detailed.

TL;DR: Clinicians should assess for DEB in both male and female emerging adults with T1D, especially overweight patients with poor glycemic control.

TL;DR: This pilot study showed that budget-neutral processes can be systematically implemented to facilitate transition preparation from pediatric to adult health care services for youth with spina bifida and their families.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that school-aged children develop illness representations somewhat independently from their parents and, therefore, are critical participants in both asthma care and research.

TL;DR: The results of this project support the identification of postpartum depression by screening using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale during well-child appointments up to 1 year of age.

TL;DR: Eliminating routine postremoval radiographs after chest tube removal in pediatric patients will lessen radiation exposure and provide cost savings with no adverse impact on outcome.

TL;DR: Evaluated evidence for PA intervention effects on accelerometer-measured PA, body mass index (BMI), and percent body fat (% BF) among girls suggests future research should involve preadolescent girls, improve methods for handling missing data, include objective measures of PA, and increase intervention attendance rates.

TL;DR: The study results are consistent with other investigations that demonstrate that obese persons are at higher risk of experiencing severe asthma symptoms and support obesity as a potentially modifiable risk factor for asthma mitigation and prevention.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support the feasibility, acceptance, and preliminary effects of the pilot program with overweight adolescents and high school students were receptive to the intervention and reported high program satisfaction.

TL;DR: The Ovid search engine was used and 877 abstracts across three databases were screened to extract data on pediatric patients' and parents' surgical experiences, highlighting further research in the context of chronic illness.

TL;DR: Advanced practice registered nurse-delivered telehealth care coordination may support a shift from unplanned to planned health care service use among children with medical complexity.

TL;DR: The results showed that the main factors that influence a parent's endorsement of CP is the belief that CP is normative and expected when raising a child; is a necessary part of parenting, even for infants; and that certain stressors involving interactions between the parent, child, and environment can elicit the use of CP.

TL;DR: Nine major themes emerged, including recommendations to minimize disruption to clinic flow, improve collaboration and training of clinic personnel and the research team, promote the clinic as a trusted setting for improving children's behavioral health, and highlight the flexibility and convenience of the eHealth format.

TL;DR: This article found that nonsmokers and respondents living with children were more likely to see smoking in the home as affecting all the queried health problems and the presence or absence of children in their homes.

TL;DR: The purposes of this continuing education activity are to report what is known about the prevalence of FASDs; to detail the spectrum of problems experienced by affected individuals; and to suggest specific strategies for preventing, identifying, and managing FASD in clinical practice.

TL;DR: Despite marked medical progress over the past several decades, substantial barriers to arriving at the diagnosis of DMD and the provision of care guidance remain.

TL;DR: RJPBH's enhanced interprofessional medical home-like model, including intense care coordination, psychosocial therapy, family and caregiver empowerment, and transitional care, may be keys to reducing cost and unnecessary hospital use for children with medical complexities with cerebral palsy who receive Medicaid.

TL;DR: The presence of preoperativePain was the best predictor of postoperative pain intensity, suggesting that preoperative pain assessment will identify patients at an elevated risk for intense postoperativePain.

TL;DR: A quality improvement project is evaluated designed to assist PPC providers in overcoming barriers to practice-wide mental health screening through implementing paper and computer-assisted clinical care algorithms.
