OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and most powerful selection of predictors of an early screening tool for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a sample of 87 children ages 2 to 6 years after unintentional injury. METHODS The examined screener was administered within 6 to 13 days post accident and consisted of an adapted version of the Pediatric Emotional Distress Scale (PEDS), the ...

Knowledge of the opinions of physicians with regard to preconceptional cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening and the possible factors that are associated with their opinions is important for the implementation of such a screening program. Data were obtained from a study in which genetic knowledge, opinions with regard to genetic testing and related skills were investigated. A questionnaire, de...

This study tests the hypothesis that high-density particle-stabilized emulsion droplets (PEDs) can be designed to use gravity to target specific locations in the eye via suprachoroidal space injection. PEDs contain a core of high-density perfluorodecalin measuring ≤35 μm in diameter surrounded and stabilized by fluorescein-tagged, polystyrene nanoparticles that simulate polymeric drug carriers....

An evaluation was undertaken to determine the utility of the BACTEC Peds Plus/F bottle and the BACTEC 9240 instrument (Becton Dickinson Diagnostic Instrument Systems, Sparks, Md.) for the detection of clinically significant microorganisms in synovial fluid specimens. The Peds Plus/F bottle was used because in our laboratory the quantity of synovial fluid available for culture is frequently in t...

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are a new energy initiative from European member states. They are, simply put, local districts which produce more than they consume. PEDs expected to adopt human-centric perspective in order create liveable and sustainable urban neighbourhoods. However, as previous research on transitions has demonstrated, the mainstream approach technocratic tradition of policy...

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) constitute an emerging energy transition paradigm, with ambitious timeline for rapid upscaling to match the urgency of climate mitigation and adaptation. Increasingly networked coordinated actors aim realise 100 PEDs across Europe by 2025. This resonates mission orientation turn European Green New Deal, inspire enable target-driven innovation. Yet it raises ques...

There are many etiological factors that have led to the development of retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED). In this paper, we have reported a patient with isolated multiple PEDs. Based on this fact, this paper aimed to give an overview of the causes of PEDs.

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the sensitivity and specificity of two brief, parent-completed developmental screening measures-the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) and the Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS)-in children presenting to their primary care providers. METHOD A sample of 334 children aged 12 to 60 months was recruited. Parents completed the PEDS and the ASQ in...
