Showing results for "early lung health"
Research suggests that offspring of mothers who experience high levels of stress during pregnancy are more likely to have problems in neurobehavioral...
Findings provide preliminary evidence that early psychosis is associated with reduced heart rate variability
Links between temperament and social-emotional difficulties are well-established in normative child development but remain poorly characterized in autism. We sought to characterize distinct temperament subgroups and their associations with concurrent internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of 103 infants showing early signs of autism.
Little is known about parent preferences regarding delivery methods of early interventions. This research examined, through parent report, the current and preferred delivery methods of seven common educational early interventions accessed by New Zealand children with autism spectrum disorder.
The ESDM aims to promote a child’s development across all domains, including language, joint attention, imitation, cognition, play and social skills, and fine and gross motor skills.
Ten years of dedicated research investigating the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine paid off 20 times over in 2019, after its inclusion on the National Immunisation Program saw a significant decrease in children being diagnosed with the deadly disease.
The clinical understanding of the CDKL5 disorder remains limited, with most information being derived from small patient groups seen at individual centres.
There are moderate associations between vitamin D status measured in prepuberty, adolescence, and early adulthood
STopping Acute Rheumatic Fever Infections to Strengthen Health (STARFISH) brings together a diverse and multidisciplinary research team to investigate the most effective environmental health initiatives (EHIs) aimed at reducing Strep A infections and prevent Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF).
Preterm birth is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, particularly due to lung disease. Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) have the highest rates of preterm birth. Infants born extremely preterm rarely survive, so the largest burden is amongst moderate-to-late preterm (MLP) infants. The long-term health impact on MLP children in LMIC is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of MLP birth on lung function trajectories from birth to 5 years in the Drakenstein Child Health Study.
