- Nurses' Experiences Caring for Children With Neuroblastoma Receiving 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Therapy: A Qualitative Descriptive Studyby Kelly Lankin on January 24, 2023
Background: Neuroblastoma, the most common extra-cranial solid tumor found in children, carries a high mortality rate due to challenges with metastatic disease at diagnoses and relapse. ^(131)I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) therapy provides targeted radiotherapy to treat neuroblastoma, but requires children to be isolated for radiation exposure, with limited access to the healthcare team while hospitalized. There is minimal research outlining the nurses' perspectives on caring for this...
- Self-Perception of Cognitive-Communication Functions After Mild Traumatic Brain Injuryby Rocio Norman on January 16, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights a multifactorial basis of cognitive-communication impairment in adults with mTBI. We show that those with mTBI history perceive difficulties with cognitive-communication skills: conversations, writing, and short-term memory/attention. Furthermore, those with mTBI perceive their cognitive-communication problems after injury have impacted their vocational, social, and academic success.
- Comparing sensory processing in children with Down syndrome to a mental age matched sample of children with autism, other developmental disabilities, and typically developing childrenby Elizabeth B Isralowitz on January 13, 2023
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Differences between three clinical groups indicate that sensory processing features may differ across clinical populations regardless of cognitive functioning. Lower concordance between caregiver-report and observation measures highlights the need to understand sensory processing expression across different tasks and environments.
- Multicentre clinical study of haemorrhage after coblation tonsillectomy in children: a prospective study protocolby Hongming Xu on January 10, 2023
INTRODUCTION: Post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) is the most common and significant life-threatening complication following tonsillectomy, especially in children. Coblation tonsillectomy (CTE) at low temperature is extensively used in China and has gradually replaced conventional tonsil dissection. However, risk of late PTH has been shown to increase with the use of hot instruments. The aim of this study is to detect post-CTE haemorrhage (PCTH) rates and analyse risk factors of PCTH in China,...
