A comparison of the efficacy of weight-shift vs. joystick control of a robotic mobility device by infants ages 5 to 10 months.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The onset of crawling in infants contributes to cognitive, perceptual, social, and emotional development. Conversely, infants with motor impairment that delays or prevents autonomous mobility often have associated developmental delays. Evidence sugge...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants using 5-mm instruments.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: Utilization of the robotic approach to pyeloplasty continues to grow in the field of pediatric urology. Adoption in the infant population has perhaps been the slowest because of the limited operative domain and relatively large instrument...

Premature atherosclerosis after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood.

Annals of agricultural and environmental medicine : AAEM
INTRODUCTION: Late cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for common malignancies of childhood. Late cardiotoxicity include increased development of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis - rel...

TNF-α increases in the CSF of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before CNS relapse.

Blood cells, molecules & diseases
There is scarce information regarding the concentration of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their clinical association with CNS status. A prospective analysis of 40 patients <18years with ...

Glycosaminoglycan levels in dried blood spots of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses.

Molecular genetics and metabolism
UNLABELLED: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) and mucolipidoses (ML) are groups of lysosomal storage disorders in which lysosomal hydrolases are deficient leading to accumulation of undegraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), throughout the body, subsequently r...

Dynamic long leg casting fixation for treating 12- to 18-month-old infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

The Journal of international medical research
Objective To evaluate the effect of dynamic long leg casting in paediatric patients with developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) diagnosed at 12-18 months. Methods The adductor tenotomy, closed reduction, and dynamic long leg casting method was adopted ...

What do we learn about development from baby robots?

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
Understanding infant development is one of the great scientific challenges of contemporary science. In addressing this challenge, robots have proven useful as they allow experimenters to model the developing brain and body and understand the processe...

Enhancing analysis throughput, sensitivity and specificity in LC/ESI-MS/MS assay of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D by derivatization with triplex 4-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (DAPTAD) isotopologues.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
The plasma/serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is a diagnostic index for vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, which is associated with a wide range of diseases, such as rickets, cancer and diabetes. We have reported that the derivatiz...

Transcriptome assists prognosis of disease severity in respiratory syncytial virus infected infants.

Scientific reports
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections that range from common cold to severe lower respiratory tract infection requiring high-level medical care. Prediction of the course of disease in individual patients remains challenging at the first...

Artificial neural network classifier predicts neuroblastoma patients' outcome.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: More than fifty percent of neuroblastoma (NB) patients with adverse prognosis do not benefit from treatment making the identification of new potential targets mandatory. Hypoxia is a condition of low oxygen tension, occurring in poorly va...
