Paediatric posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: a review of aetiologies, clinical and radiological spectrum, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and management

Rachna Sehgal, Archana Kashyap, Bhavna Anand, Arpita Gupta

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare clinico-radiological syndrome postulated to be due to disturbed cerebral autoregulation characterized by acute onset seizures, altered sensorium, headache, visual disturbances, and typical neuroimaging findings of vasogenic oedema in parietooccipital white matter. Although originally described in adults, PRES is increasingly recognized in children, particularly in association with renal disease, hypertension, autoimmune disorders, malignancy, chemotherap …

Level of agreement on SpO2 and response time between fingertip pulse oximeter and conventional bedside pulse oximeter among preterm neonates: a tertiary care study

Devadarshini Mohan, Vetriselvi Prabakaran, Ambalakkuthan Murugesan

Background: Fingertip pulse oximeters are used to measure peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) levels in newborns and have been recommended to improve access to monitoring devices in resource-limited settings. However, evidence regarding their use in preterm neonates is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of agreement in peripheral oxygen saturation and response time between fingertip pulse oximeters and conventional bedside pulse oximeters in preterm neonates. Methods: A cross-sectional analyti …

Can It Happen Again? Using Co‐Produced Theatre to Explore the Challenges Faced by Couples Considering Pregnancy After a De Novo Genetic Diagnosis in a Child

Alison Kay, Anne Goriely, Alexa Gummow, Lisa Hinton, Arti Patel, Marysia Price‐Nowak, Shwetha Ramachandrappa, Jonathon Wells, Francesca Wicks, Minna Jeffery

ABSTRACT Introduction When a couple has a child with a genetic condition, it raises questions when considering future pregnancies. It has typically been considered an easier genetic test result to receive when the condition is de novo (new) in origin, because neither parent is understood to have passed on the genetic change, except in rare cases. However, new scientific research indicates de novo changes are more likely to originate from a single sperm—a risk that increases as fathers age. Research on a personalise …

Distributional Effect of Insurer Competition on Premiums: Evidence From the Employer‐Sponsored Health Insurance Market

Haizhen Lin, Yaying Zhou

ABSTRACT We study how insurer competition affects premiums for fully‐insured plans in the employer‐sponsored health insurance market. By utilizing quasi‐experimental variations induced by mergers among national insurers, we show that increased insurer concentration leads to higher premiums, but there exists substantial heterogeneity. In particular, we find that a increase in insurer concentration increases premiums for mid‐sized firms by but reduces premiums for large firms by . We explore additional sources of het …

Optimizing Focus Group Probes in Health Sciences to Unlock Insights into Undergraduate Realities and Coping Dynamics

Mustafa M. Bodrick, Lobna A. Aljuffali, Mutlaq B. Almutairi, Aws A. Obaid

The use of qualitative research focus groups in health sciences leverages group synergy to explore complex experiences, yet the strategic execution of probes within these group dynamics remains somewhat under-examined compared to one-on-one interviews. This study review optimizes the use of probes with prompts for clarification on questioning as precision tools to unlock deep insights into undergraduate realities and coping dynamics.
