Early maladaptive schemas and psychiatric symptoms in adolescence
<p>Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) represent harmful schemas that are rooted in childhood experiences. Schema therapy is an integrative psychotherapeutic approach and its main aim is to find feasible ways of meeting ...
Feasibility of FreeSurfer Processing for T1-Weighted Brain Images of 5-Year-Olds: Semiautomated Protocol of FinnBrain Neuroimaging Lab
<p>Pediatric neuroimaging is a quickly developing field that still faces important methodological challenges. Pediatric images usually have more motion artifact than adult images. The artifact can cause visible errors in ...
Key factors supporting implementation of a training program for neonatal family- centered care - a qualitative study
<p>Background</p><p>Traditionally, the care of infants in neonatal care units has been professionally centered, paying less attention to family support. In recent years, many interventions have been developed to improve ...
Subcortical and hippocampal brain segmentation in 5-year-old children: Validation of FSL-FIRST and FreeSurfer against manual segmentation
<p>Developing accurate subcortical volumetric quantification tools is crucial for neurodevelopmental studies, as they could reduce the need for challenging and time-consuming manual segmentation. In this study, the accuracy ...
Eye tracking based assessment of lexical processing and early lexical development in very preterm children
<p>Background<br></p><p>Associations between lexical processing and lexical development during the second year of life have been little studied in preterm children.</p><p>Aims</p><p>To evaluate associations between lexical processing at 18 months and lexical development between 12 and 18 months in very preterm children.</p><p>Study design</p><p>Correlational study.</p><p>Subjects</p><p>25 Finnish-speaking children born <32 gestational weeks.</p><p>Outcome measures</p><p>Lexical processing (reaction time RT; correct looking time CLT) was measured with an eye tracking technology-based task at 18 months' corrected age. Lexical development was measured longitudinally at 12-, 15- and 18-months' corrected age using the following screening instruments: the short form version of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories and the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scale: Infant-Toddler Checklist.</p><p>Results</p><p>The longer the RT of the child, the weaker expressive skills the child had at 12 and 15 months (correlations coefficient values −0.45 to −0.51). The more the child looked at the target image compared to the distractor (CLT), the stronger expressive skills the child had at 18 months (r = 0.45–0.52). A linear regression model with RT and gender as independent variables explained 33 % of the variance in lexical skills at 18 months. A model with CLT explained 40 % of expressive skills at 18 months.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>Lexical processing at 18 months was associated with expressive lexical development in very preterm children. The results suggest eye tracking technology based methods may have utility in the assessment of early lexical growth in preterm children, although further research is needed to assess psychometric properties and predictive value of the method.</p>...
Mothers' experiences of parenting and everyday life of children born at 23 weeks of gestation – a qualitative descriptive study
<div>Background</div><div>Surviving children born at 23 gestational weeks are a growing population. As many of these children face developmental challenges during childhood and adolescence, more knowledge is needed about ...
Infant and Child MRI: A Review of Scanning Procedures
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe method to examine human brain. However, a typical MR scan is very sensitive to motion, and it requires the subject to lie still during the acquisition, which is a major challenge ...
Effects of the Close Collaboration with Parents intervention on the quality of family-centered care in NICUs
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Systematic training for the neonatal staff to support parents' active involvement is lacking. There is little information about the effectiveness of educational interventions.</p><p><stron ...
Preterm children's developmental coordination disorder, cognition and quality of life: a prospective cohort study
<div><p><strong>Objective</strong> To evaluate the rate of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and its correlation to cognition and self-experienced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children born very ...
The validity of the Language Environment Analysis system in two neonatal intensive care units
<p><strong>Aim </strong></p><p>To evaluate the validity of the Language Environment Analysis (LENA) system's automatic measures in two neonatal intensive care units supporting parent-infant closeness, and in two Finno-Ugric ...
