Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes brings together the work of leading researchers from the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. to provide a comprehensive examination of the causes, risks, and neurodevelopmental and psychological outcomes in children with congenital heart disease. The book includes longitudinal studies which have tracked outcomes from birth through late childhood and explores the emergent phenotype and etiologies, risk, and protective factors that strengthen proposed models. Medical and surgical advances have meant that greater numbers of children with even the most severe congenital heart disease (CHD) now survive well into adulthood. Studies over the past 20 years have suggested certain neurodevelopmental and psychological features are common, with clinical interventions being internationally articulated. The U.K. Belfast Center has developed and evaluated unique early intervention programs to circumvent the common problems discerned and promote optimal adjustment and outcomes. The first edition of Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes describes these programs in detail and outlines promising results obtained by researchers worldwide. Such interventions, together with the U.S. consensus statement (Circulation, 2012) on neurodevelopmental screening, hold great promise for clinical interventions. Features input from leading research experts in the field Describes cutting-edge research on longitudinal studies that link neurodevelopmental phenotypes with cutting-edge neuroimaging studies Discusses the first series of early intervention studies developed in Belfast targeted at key developmental transitions—birth and diagnosis, early childhood, and adolescence Includes clinical implications and action points in each section Features generalizable potential of interventions across other pediatric populations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advances in the peri-operative management of congenital heart defects have substantially improved the survival of infants over the last few decades, reaching >95% survival in the reports of the international congenital data-base from the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and form the Society of Thoracic Surgery (North-America). Nevertheless, the surviving children often experience neurodevelopmental deficits and behavioral, emotional and social issues. These problems often have a profound impact on the quality of life of the growing population of these children at risk and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widely used assessments of infants and toddlers, the BAYLEY-III measures the major areas of development including cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive functioning. This book provides an introduction into use of the BAYLEY-III in each of these five areas. For each of these areas, individual chapters cover the relevant test content, administration, scoring, interpretation, strengths / concerns, and uses in clinical populations. Each chapter also includes a real life case study demonstrating typical performance of a child with delays one of the five areas of development. The book concludes with a special chapter on procedures for brief neurodevelopmental screening of infants in pediatric settings. Covering all major areas of development, the book is informative for a wide range of professionals who use the BAYLEY-III to evaluate development of infants and toddlers from multiple perspectives including psychology, speech and language, and occupational/physical therapy. Provides an overview of the theoretical background and structure of BAYLEY-III written by the lead Research Director Introduces practitioners to the test content in each of the five major areas of child development covered by the BAYLEY-III: cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive functioning Readers will learn how to competently administer, score, and interpret each of the five scales in the BAYLEY-III Explains the strengths and limitations of the test in each of the five areas it measures Instructs readers on uses of the test in specific clinical populations Includes five case studies showing typical patterns of children delayed in one of the five areas of development Concludes with a special chapter on neurodevelopmental screening procedures in pediatric settings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MRI OF THE NEONATAL BRAIN, 4TH EDITION provides a comprehensive and integrated approach to the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in neonatology. MRI is becoming increasingly available to clinicians and has been shown to have major advantages over ultrasound as an aid to diagnosis. MRI OF THE NEONATAL BRAIN, 4TH EDITION is divided into four major parts. Part I covers the technical aspects, explaining how MRI works and advising on how to achieve the best possible image with minimal sedation of the neonate. Part II illustrates the normal anatomy and development of the neonatal brain. Part III is a short section on the pathological processes underlying brain disorders in the neonate. Part IV, the largest section of the book, discusses the most common disorders seen in the newborn infant, and contains a series of case studies with discussions, questions and answers.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and AimsInfants with CCHD account for ~2.5/1000 births in the USA, require life-saving surgery, and often experience disabilities. While detection of CCHD happens in utero, any resulting motor and cognitive delays are rarely identified early. Because of the high impact of motor and cognitive disabilities to children, families, and society and encouraging results of early intervention, early identification of delay is paramount. The purpose of this study is to identify motor and cognitive delays, and brain injury in infants with CCHD and in healthy infants from birth to six months of age.MethodN=24 infants with CCHD and a comparison group of N=15 healthy infants participated in this longitudinal study at birth, 3 months, and 6 months of age. Prechtl's GMs, the TIMP, and the Bayley-III were used to assess risk for CP and motor and cognitive delays. Non-sedation MRI of the brain was used to understand brain-behavior relationships. Results10/24 (41%) infants with CCHD had abnormal GMs placing them at high risk for cerebral palsy and motor delay. Using independent t-tests, infants with CCHD demonstrated lower TIMP scores than infants with TD; p = 0.001 indicating motor dysfunction. More than half of infants with CCHD had abnormal brain development measured with MRI.ConclusionAn earlier detection of motor delays and the relationship to brain structure and growth in infancy will allow clinicians to be proactive instead of reactive. Indicators of motor dysfunction and abnormal brain growth and development are prevalent in infants with CCHD.
Download or read book AN URBAN BIOETHICS APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING DISPARITIES IN NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE written by Colette Gramszlo and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and often resultsin neurodevelopmental impairments and psychological problems which impede educational and occupational attainment and decrease overall quality of life into adulthood. While morbidity and mortality outcomes have improved over the last several decades, non-Hispanic black and Hispanic children continue to experience a disproportionate burden of CHD. An urban bioethics approach to disparities in cardiac neurodevelopmental outcomes necessitates an examination of the context, setting, and structures in which CHD care is delivered. This thesis proposes a model through which access to and quality of cardiac care impact disparities in neurodevelopmental outcomes. The thesis describes an initial evaluation of the proposed model conducted through retrospective record review. Though research funding and hospital resources have historically flowed toward optimizing surgical and other clinical care techniques, results indicate that factors such as poverty and other social determinants of health have a greater impact on many CHD outcomes. An urban bioethics framework asks us to additionally consider the ways in which cardiac care teams act as barriers to high quality care. Findings are discussed in terms of next steps and a proposed qualitative study to further evaluate results.
