With the limitation of the cross-sectional study, reducing ST and increasing LPA may be beneficial for glucose metabolism among abdominally obese older adults. Lean older adults could benefit more from increasing MVPA.

To determine the incidence, timing, progression, and risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in infants 24
to 27
weeks of gestational age and to characterize the association between ICH and death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 2years of corrected age.

Infants enrolled in the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial had serial cranial ultrasound scans performed on day 1, day 7-9, and 36weeks of postmenstrual age to evaluate ICH. Potential risk factors for development of ICH were examined. Outcomes included death or severe NDI as well as Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition, at 2years of corrected age.

ICH was identified in 38% (n=339) of 883 enrolled infants. Multiple gestation and cesarean delivery reduced the risk of any ICH on day 1. Risk factors for development of bilateral Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 ICH at day 7-9 included any ICH at day 1; 2 or more doses of prenatal steroids decreased risk. Bilateral Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 ICH at 36weeks were associated with previous ICH at day 7-9. Bilateral Grade 2, any Grade 3, and any Grade 4 ICH at 7-9days or 36weeks of postmenstrual age were associated with increased risk of death or severe NDI and lower Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition, scores.

Risk factors for ICH varied by timing of bleed. Bilateral and increasing grade of ICH were associated with death or NDI in infants born extremely preterm.

To investigate whether correction for prematurity affects executive function scores in school-aged children born very preterm.

Executive functions were assessed with standardized neuropsychological tests in 142 children born very preterm (born at ≤32weeks of gestational age or with a birth weight of ≤1500g) and 391 control children, aged 7-13years. Four-month age bands were established from the data of control children. Differences between uncorrected and corrected scores were compared against zero difference and between very preterm children born before and after 28weeks of gestation. Regression models were used to compare the uncorrected and corrected scores of children born very preterm with control children.

For all executive functions, significant, larger-than-zero differences between uncorrected and corrected scores were apparent in children born very preterm. Mean differences ranged from 0.04 to 0.18 SDs. Weak evidence was found that the effect of age correction is more pronounced in very preterm children born before 28weeks of gestation than in those born after 28weeks. Differences in executive function scores between children born very preterm and control children were attenuated if scores were corrected for prematurity.

Test scores based on corrected rather than uncorrected age may more accurately determine the developmental stage of very preterm children's executive functions at school age. U0126 Potential consequences for clinical and research practice need to be discussed in the future.

To characterize parent-reported symptom burden and effectiveness of symptom management in children hospitalized with advanced heart disease.

Prospective survey study of 161 parents whose child was admitted to a single institution with advanced heart disease between March 2018 and February 2019 using the Survey about Caring for Children with Heart Disease.

Of the 161 patients, 54% were under 2years old with a diagnosis of single ventricle physiology (39%), pulmonary hypertension (12%), and other congenital heart disease (28%). Over one-half (56%) of parents reported that their child was experiencing a high degree ("a great deal"/"a lot") of symptoms. The most frequently reported symptoms were pain (68%), fatigue (63%), and breathing difficulties (60%). Of the symptoms that were treated, parents perceived successful treatment to be least likely for their child's sleep disturbance (24%), depression (29%), and fatigue (35%). Parents who reported their child's functional status as New York Heart Association class III/IV were more likely to report that their child was experiencing "a great deal" of symptoms, compared with those who reported class I/II (51% vs 19%, P<.001). Parents who reported their child was experiencing a high degree of suffering from fatigue were also more likely to report a high symptom burden (P<.001).

Parents of children with advanced heart disease reported high symptom burden with a broad spectrum of symptoms. Parents reported fatigue and psychiatric symptoms frequently and rarely reported treatment as successful. Parents' view of their child's symptom burden was concordant with their perception of their child's functional status.

In the current paper, we aimed to fabricate an electro-conductive scaffold based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) containing ferrous sulfate. FeSO4·7H2O salt with different concentrations 5, 10, and 15 wt%, were blended with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer as the precursor and converted to Fe2O3/CNFs nanocomposite by electrospinning and heat treatment. The characterization was conducted using SEM, EDX, XRD, FTIR, and Raman methods. The results showed that the incorporation of Fe salt induces no adverse effect on the nanofibers' morphology. EDX analysis confirmed that the Fe ions are uniformly dispersed throughout the CNF mat. FTIR spectroscopy showed the interaction of Fe salt with PAN polymer. Raman spectroscopy showed that the incorporation of FeSO4·7H2O reduced the ID/IG ratio, indicating more ordered carbon in the synthesized nanocomposite. Electrical resistance measurement depicted that, although the incorporation of ferrous sulfate reduced the electrical conductivity, the conductive is suitable for electrical stimulation.
