Clinical utility of home polysomnography in children with neuromuscular disorders is limited by lack of evidence that sleep-disordered breathing can be reliably identified and inability to diagnose hypoventilation because carbon dioxide is not measured.
No validated oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non-verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health-related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome.
The transport of sick newborn infants with respiratory distress leads to unwanted stress at time of physiological instability. There is dearth of studies to evaluate these stress levels. This pilot prospective observational before-after study aimed to evaluate the plasma cortisol levels (as surrogate marker of stress) in infants with respiratory distress during different phases of neonatal transport.
Intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are varied in their nature and presentation. Barriers to oral healthcare are reported in studies of general populations with IDD but these may not reflect the barriers experienced by individuals with rare disorders such as Rett syndrome.
This review discusses early brain development and the etiological factors that may give rise to atypical developmental trajectories, along with neuroimaging insights
Synthesized findings demonstrate that people with intellectual disability, who live in community or residential settings, may fall more frequently, and at a younger age
Survey of the model of care and workforce that manages children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Australasia along with glycaemic outcomes
High levels of sedentary time and low daily step counts in a Danish population of females with Rett syndrome
Parent observations provide an initial framework for understanding quality of life in autism spectrum disorder
Our study adds to the literature supporting the role of intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring in scoliosis surgery in children
