Filter by:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent disorder of movement or posture due to non-progressive impairments of the developing brain. Current estimates indicate that as many as 30% of CP cases may be genetic in nature. In our study, the investigators will re-examine the data of children with CP, who are registered in the Slovenian National Registry of Cerebral Palsy. All children will be invited to the University Children's Hospital, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, where they will be re-examined by a neurologist. Blood for genetic testing will be taken. In the case of confirmed genetic ethiology of CP, the search for specific therapy will be possible.
Using a single-blind, randomized controlled design to investigate the additional therapeutic effects of individualized educational training on traditional rehabilitation programs for preschool children with developmental delays.
The PLUSS (Mental health, learning, development, collaboration around preschool children) is a collaborative project involving guardians, Jönköping County´s health care, preschools and social services. The project studies the implementation of a "One way in"-model that provides coordinated services to screen, evaluate and treat toddlers with behavioral problems. The project also provides parental interventions and education for preschool teachers. The study aims to investigate a) implementation of the PLUSS model, b) effectiveness of the model and the included parental training program on behavioral problem and their longitudinal development among preschool children, c) parental wellbeing and satisfaction. In the long term, the goal is to reduce mental health problems among children, adolescents and their families and to provide support for a functioning everyday life.
This pilot clinical trial tests the hypothesis that certain blood metabolite levels can be used to predict Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study cohort will consist of 200 participants between the ages 18 and 60 months who have been referred to a developmental pediatric center for clinical evaluation of ASD or other developmental delay. Two selected sites will enroll 75 participants each with another 50 typically developing participants. Participants will receive a physical exam (including a dysmorphology evaluation), ADOS, VABS, MSEL, DSM-5, and M-CHAT assessments, and receive a diagnosis. A fasting blood draw is required, consisting of 2 mL vacutainer tubes (max 4 mL). Sites must process blood according to sponsor requirements (outlined in the Sponsor's Laboratory Manual). Certain metabolite levels in the blood will be used for diagnostic screening test development.
This rSO2 study is a prospective clinical study. The purpose of the rSO2 study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between the intraoperative cerebral and renal tissue oxygen saturation and the incidence of developmental and socioemotional delay after living donor liver transplantation for children. This study will also investigate whether intraoperative cerebral and renal tissue oxygen saturation are related to postoperative complications.
The purpose of this study is to identify the therapeutic effects of family workshops on speech and language developmentally delayed children and their family
In this study, the investigators are trying to find new ways to screen for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children. The investigators want to see if people like pediatricians can screen children for ASD while a psychologist watches on a monitor. The investigators are testing two screening tools. The investigators want to see if they are good at identifying children with ASD and children without ASD. The investigators hope this research will make it easier for families to get answers when there are concerns for ASD.
Advances in medical technologies over the last three decades have increased survival rates in infants born preterm . Preterm infants are at high risk of developing developmental delays. Implementation of effective strategies aimed at improving the developmental outcome of preterm born children is critical. The proposed study is designed to evaluate the addition of a parent administered sensorimotor program on the developmental outcome of infants who are born preterm.
Caregiver coaching will be provided using telehealth technology, in order to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of the telehealth medium of intervention delivery for caregivers of infants with concern for ASD.
The investigator aims to examine the clinical utility of WES, including assessment of a variety of clinical outcomes in undiagnosed pediatric cases.
