Abstract:
SUMMARYInvasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) notifications are used to monitor IPD vaccination programmes. We conducted sequential deterministic data-linkage between IPD notifications and hospitalization data in Victoria, Australia, in order to determine whether all diagnosed cases were being reported. The proportion of each relevant hospital admission ICD-10-AM code that could be linked to notified cases was calculated. Total and age-specific annual rates were calculated and compared for notified and non-notified cases. Total incidence was estimated using data-linkage results and application of a two-source capture–recapture method. The first 2 years of IPD surveillance in Victoria missed at least one-sixth of laboratory-confirmed IPD cases. Estimated annual IPD rate increased from 9·0 to 10·7/100 000 and rose even higher, to 11·5/100 000, with age-specific rates possibly reaching 90·0/100 000 children aged <2 years, when using capture–recapture. Strategies to improve notification and coding of hospitalized cases of IPD are required.

Abstract:
This study examines individual growth rates in definitional skill over a period of three to six years, for 68 low-income children. Children were asked to define words once a year at school, from kindergarten (youngest administration at 5;3) through fourth grade (oldest administration at 10;10). A plateau was observed between age nine and ten both for percent formal definitions (characterized by presence of a superordinate) and for the quality of formal definitions. The plateau was lower than the theoretical ceiling for these measures. However, the children appear to have attained ‘adult levels’ of definitional skill: forty-seven fourth-graders (aged 9;1 to 10;10) performed higher, on average, than their own mothers when giving definitions. These results support the notion that definitional skill is related to being part of an academic culture: low-income mothers, whose formal schooling is complete, generally do not give oral definitions to simple nouns as well as do their nine- to ten-year-old children.

Abstract:
Maize, as a C4 species, is likely to use water more productively than the perennial ryegrass and white clover pastures typically grown for dairy cows in northern Victoria. However, only estimates of water use by irrigated maize crops are available for this region. We measured the growth and water use of three commercial maize crops used for silage in northern Victoria. Crops under centre pivot irrigation were monitored in 2003–04 (Spray 1) and 2004–05 (Spray 2). A border-check irrigated crop (Border-check) was monitored in 2004–05. The Spray 1 crop was irrigated 30 times and received 782 mm of rainfall and irrigation. The crop yielded 22 t DM/ha, giving a water productivity of 28 kg DM/ha.mm (including irrigation, rainfall and change in soil water content). In the cooler, wetter summer of 2004–05, the water productivity was 34 kg DM/ha.mm for the Spray 2 crop and 30 kg DM/ha.mm for the Border-check crop. Crop evapotranspiration was estimated from weather data and a daily soil water balance was computed according to FAO 56. The estimated and measured changes in soil water content were in good agreement and indicated that the basal crop coefficients in the model (Kcb = 1.15 during the mid-season, before correction for non-standard humidity and wind speed) were appropriate to local conditions. Maize grown for silage in northern Victoria has higher water productivity than pastures. However, high yields are required to make it economically viable compared with alternative forages for dairy cows. These data will assist dairy farmers to select the optimum forage mix for their enterprises.

Abstract. Nocturnal urinary growth hormone values were measured by a sensitive enzyme immunoassay in normal adults, patients with GH deficiency, patients with Turner's syndrome, normal but short children who had normal plasma GH responses to provocative tests, and patients with acromegaly. The mean nocturnal urinary GH values in patients with acromegaly were significantly greater than those in normal adults (1582.3 ± 579.8 vs 53.5 ± 8.6 pmol/mmol creatinine (± sem); p < 0.05). In the normal but short children and patients with Turner's syndrome, the mean nocturnal urinary GH values were 83.1 ± 5.2 and 79.8 ± 29.5 pmol/mmol creatinine, respectively. In patients with GH deficiency, the nocturnal urinary GH values were undetectable (< 5.3 pmol/mmol creatinine) except in one patient where the value was 6.3 pmol/mmol creatinine. The nocturnal urinary GH values of the patients with GH deficiency were significantly lower than those of the other groups (p < 0.05). In normal but short children, the nocturnal urinary GH values correlated significantly with mean plasma nocturnal GH concentrations (r = 0.76, p < 0.001), and 24-hour urinary GH values (r = 0.84, p < 0.001), respectively. In 4 patients with GH deficiency who had circulating anti-hGH antibody, the urinary GH values were also undectable. These data indicate that nocturnal urinary GH value reflects endogenous GH secretion during collection time, and that measurement of the nocturnal urinary GH values is a useful method for screening of patients with GH deficiency and acromegaly.

Abstract:
Careful perusal of the article by Rempel et al has caused us to question the validity of the growth measurements that form the basis for the study's conclusions. Of the 57 patients reported, 21 were examined by one of the authors; 14 others had their data "reviewed in the care facility in which they resided" or were obtained by telephone contact with caretakers; data regarding the remaining 22 were culled from hospital records. Nowhere are the height or weight methods of measurement specified.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate milk consumption among children in a village in a developing country where access to milk during childhood may be limited. Another aim was to see if measurable information could demonstrate growth among children who drank milk. The data was collected through anthropometric measurements on 66 boys and girls (aged 5-6). Nutritional data from a selected group of parents of the participating children were done through 24-hour-recall, questions about meal arrangement, availability and attitudes about milk were asked. Result: Five-year-old girls who drank milk at home and in school were significantly taller compared to girls (5 yr) who did not drink milk, as well as taller than the girls (5 yrs) who drank milk only at home. Arm muscle area, and arm circumference was also significantly larger among the girls (5 yr) who drank milk. No significant differences were shown among the boys. Food consumption included more nutrients among children who drank milk, which might contribute to the growth effect among the girls (5 yrs). Consumption of milk was due to economic situations, access to school-milk or owning a cow. Conclusions: Some significant differences among 5-year-old girls were shown. Poverty was the main reason for not drinking milk, as well as lack of access to milk.
Syftet med denna etnografiska studie var att undersöka mjölkkonsumtion bland barn i en by i ett utvecklingsland där tillgång till mjölk under barndomen kan vara begränsad. Syftet var även att se om mätbar information kan visa tillväxt hos barn som dricker mjölk. Data samlades in genom antropometriska mätningar på 66 pojkar och flickor (5-6 år). Kostdata hos en utvald grupp föräldrar till några av de barn som deltog i mätningarna har gjorts genom 24-timmars-intervjuer, där även frågor kring måltidsordningen, tillgänglighet och attityder kring mjölk ställdes. Resultat: Femåriga flickor som drack mjölk både i skolan och i hemmet visade sig vara signifikant längre än flickor (5 år) som inte drack mjölk, de var även längre än flickor (5 år) som bara drack mjölk i hemmet. Armmuskelarea och armomkrets var också signifikant större hos flickorna (5 år) som drack mjölk jämfört med de flickor som inte drack mjölk. Inga signifikanta skillnader gällande tillväxten visade sig hos pojkarna. Matkonsumtionen var mer varierad hos de barn som drack mjölk, vilket kan ha påverkat resultatet. Mjölkkonsumtionen berodde på ekonomi, tillgång till skolmjölk, brist på mjölk och kunskap om mjölk. Slutsats: Några signifikanta skillnader gällande tillväxten visade sig hos femåriga flickor. Fattigdom var största anledningen till att inte konsumera mjölk, även brist på mjölk i bostadsområdet. Barn som drack mjölk hade tillgång till mjölk i skolan och/eller i hemmet.

Abstract:
Normal growth measurement and the basic causes for failure to thrive are described and illustrated in this chapter. Causes given are an increased requirement of nutrients due to chronic disease, a reduced intake, an increased loss, or a failure to either digest, absorb, or utilize them. Causality should be determined from a good clinical history and examination to help determine pertinent investigations and guide clinical management. The many and varied associated skin disorders are helpfully categorized under different age groups. Causes given include immunodeficiency (genetic or acquired), specific diseases such as Omenn syndrome, Netherton syndrome, acrodermatitis enteropathica, epidermolysis bullosa, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Malnutrition, usually kwashiorkor or marasmus, is suggested to be the main cause in low-income countries. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for seriously ill children with admission to a specialist unit when necessary.

Full text
Abstract:
Cardiorespiratory fitness is an outcome of physical activity, enabling the transport of oxygen from the atmosphere to the mitochondria to perform physical work and therefore reflects the overall capacity of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to perform the prolonged exercise. In recent decades, it has declined in the paediatric population. Cardiovascular fitness measurement has yet to be standardised in children but is a powerful marker of health in youth and is strongly associated with inflammation and inversely associated with cardiovascular risk factors, especially obesity. Notably, youth with low cardiorespiratory fitness levels have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases during adulthood. Lowered cardiorespiratory fitness has been demonstrated most often in children with obesity and associated cardiovascular comorbidities, however, these can be associated with cardiorespiratory fitness independently to body mass index. The benefits of physical activity on health have been well demonstrated during growth and it should be encouraged in children with cardiovascular risk to prevent further reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness and the development of other comorbidities. Along with appropriate physical exercise and diet in childhood, breastfeeding in the first year of life is recommended.

Abstract:
Assessment of children with rheumatic diseases has evolved significantly over the past 20 years. Previously, assessment focused primarily on the measurement of disease activity status, an evaluation that provided information that was mainly physician-derived. More recently, emphasis has been placed on the need to incorporate estimates of physical, social, and mental functioning into health assessment. Consequently, there has been tremendous growth in the development of measurement instruments that evaluate health status, functional status, disability, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). An array of these broader instruments has been developed for children with rheumatic diseases. These latter measures are mainly patient-derived. Clearly, in an era of patient-centred care, the latter approach is critical to appropriate patient assessment. Despite this, such measurement is restricted to research studies rather than clinical practice. Most of these measures are used in the assessment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis; however, increasingly, measures are being developed for other diseases including juvenile dermatomyositis and juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus. Herein, we review the measures that are currently available to highlight their utility, with particular emphasis on their potential roles as supported by recent literature.

Abstract:
The authors of this study seek to provide practitioners with evidence to support the instructional value of Ignite by Hatch, a digital learning game designed for preschool children. Analyses were conducted using the entire population of three- and four-year-old children who used Ignite during the 2020-2021 academic year (n = 29,417) and included the use of descriptive statistics to explore patterns of growth and the Rasch measurement model to explore item difficulty. This chapter also features a preliminary crosswalk establishing the alignment between the domains, subdomains, and games presented within the Ignite game environment and the learning goals provided by the North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and Development framework. Results suggest strong preliminary evidence in support of the instructional value of Ignite by Hatch. Further research is recommended to understand how knowledge and skill acquisition within the game environment translate to developmental growth outside of the gaming environment.

ABSTRACT Background: Impaired growth and development of children impact the child’s future. Exclusive breastfeeding is essential for the optimal growth and development of children. This study aimed to determine the effect of exclusive breastfeeding on the growth and development of infants aged 0-24 months. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Wonokromo district, Surabaya, East Java, from June to July 2020. A total of 40 under-two-years children was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was the growth and development of children. The data for the growth of children were collected by accessing weight-for-age, length/ height-for-age, and head circumference measurement. The data for the development of children were collected using Revised Prescreening Developmental questionnaires (R-PDQ). The independent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. The data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: Children receiving exclusive breastfeeding (96.8%) showed a better status of growth and development than without receiving exclusive breastfeeding (11.1%), and it was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Children receiving exclusive breastfeeding (96.8%) show a better status of growth and development than without receiving exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract:
Children develop rapidly in their early years. A crucial component of this development is a child’s ability to learn and use language. Even before they enter formal education, children have learned much about oral language and literacy through meaningful interactions with others, and from their life experiences. Children, however, do not develop at the same pace – some children arrive in early childhood education and care (ECEC) programs more advanced while others require additional support. Recent reviews of the assessment tools available to ECEC educators show a lack of good quality measurement and a reliance on checklist style inventories or narrative approaches. This paper presents a new measure of oral language and pre-literacy specifically designed to be accurate enough to reliably measure an individual child’s growth. Results from a combined calibration of children’s responses using a many-facets item response model show the measure to be reliable, valid and sensitive enough to measure growth within children and between groups of children over time. Implications for future assessment development and for educators’ practice are discussed, including how such measures can provide insight into what children know, understand, and can do (Reynolds, 2020) and what educators can do to support future learning experiences targeted at children’s specific language and literacy needs.

ABSTRACT Background: Impaired growth and development of children remains a serious problem globally. The role of the family, especially the support and participation of parents are the important factors in monitoring the growth and development of infants/ toddlers. This study aimed to determine the effect of family support on the growth and development of infants/ toddlers. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Kragilan Village, Mojolaban, Sukoharjo, Central Java in November 2018. The study subjects were total of 115 mothers with children aged 1-60 month. Multistage cluster sampling technique was conducted. Dependent variable was growth and development of children. Independent variable was family support. The data for family support was collected by questionnaire. The data for growth of infants/ toddlers was collected by assessing growth chart (monitoring whether weight gain or loss from previous month), assessing length/height-for-age (normal height or stunted), head circumference measurement (macrocephalic/ microcephalic/ normocephalic), and assessing teething chart (erupts/ loss of teeth in accordance with age or not). The data for development of infants/ toddlers was collected by evaluating the gross motor, fine motor, language, and social skills based on child development pre-screening questionnaire. Results: Good family support increases growth (b= 0.895; p <0.001) and development (b= 0.337; p <0.001) of infants/ toddlers. Conclusion: Good family support increases growth and development of infants/ toddlers. Keywords: family support, growth, development Correspondence: Fitria Hayu Palupi.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Stunting is a condition of growth failure among children under five due to chronic malnutrition. According to World Health Organization (WHO), stunting under five is a public health problem if the prevalence is 20% or more. In 2018, stunting in Indonesia is more than 20%, so it becomes a public health problem and needs to be addressed immediately. Stunting does not only affect physical growth but also psychosocial development. Stunting can reduce the quality of human resources (HR) because the body’s organs, especially the brain, are not able to develop optimally, and increase the risk of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and stroke. The low psychosocial stimulation has an impact on the subsequent growth of the child. This study aimed to analyze the association between psychosocial stimulation and stunting. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted in the Village Bangkok, Kediri, East Java, in August 2020. A total sample of 25 stunting children aged 24-59 months was obtained as a case group and 25 normal toddlers aged 24-59 months as a control group. The dependent variable was the incidence of stunting, while the independent variable was psychosocial stimulation. The stunting measurement was based on the height per age (converted into a Z-score). Measurement of psychosocial stimulation was using the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment Revisited (HOME) questionnaire consists of 55 statements divided into 8 aspects. The data were collected and analyzed using the Chi Square test. Results: Stunting children showed that psychosocial stimulation were low (20%), medium (64%), and high (16%). While psychosocial stimulation among not stunted children were absent (0%), medium (64%), and high (36%). Psychosocial stimulation was associated with the incidence of stunting (p= 0.031), and it was statistically significant. Conclusion: Psychological stimulation is associated with the incidence of stunting. The psychosocial stimulation provided by families for stunting toddlers is still less than that of non-stunting children.

Abstract:
Premature infants are children born before the 37th week of gestation. They often need to be cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) after birth, where they are continuously exposed to noise that can affect sleep patterns and lead to growth and developmental delays. To date, there are no unified limits for the prevention of noise exposure in NICUs. Recommendations for maximal continuous sound levels vary - depending on the professional society - between 35 and 60 dB(A) for daytime values and 20 to 60 dB(A) for nighttime values. They span a range from quiet whispering to normal road traffic noise. Existing studies of noise measurements in NICUs indicate that these recommendations are generally not met. A limitation of previous work is their short time periods that noise measurements were made for, usually one or two hours. As a result, it is not possible to make statements about the diurnal cyclic change in noise exposure, which may have an influence on the circadian rhythm of premature infants, for example. The present work aims to determine the intensity and diurnal cyclic differences of noise exposure in a NICU. In addition, particularly noisy work activities are identified in order to derive suggestions for prevention.For this purpose, the continuous sound levels are recorded for 22 work shifts in a German level 1 perinatal center. Measurements are made in the patient room and the inside of an infant incubator. The mean daily noise exposure levels (LEX,8h) of the early, late and night shifts are calculated and the peak sound level (LpCpeak) is recorded. To test for a day-night rhythm, these are compared using one-factor ANOVA. Using the Contextual Inquiry method, work analyses are performed for 12 work shifts and the early, late and night shifts with the highest equivalent continuous sound level (LAeq) are examined for noise-intensive work activities as examples. The measurement results in LEX,8h and LpCpeak values of up to 49.7 dB(A) and 124.4 dB(C) inside the infant incubator and 55.4 dB(A) and 110.3 dB(C) in the patient room. A day-night rhythm of noise exposure could not be demonstrated. The most noise-intensive work activities included the suctioning of patients and the conversations conducted in the process, with an LAeq of 63 dB(A). In addition, numerous very high impulsive noise events are identified which contribute to the noise exposure of premature infants. The presented study proves that the noise exposure is too high, which is very likely to affect the sleep behavior of premature infants. The results correspond with the statements of comparable studies. It is remarkable that especially the high peak noise levels are mainly due to trivial causes, which can be avoided by simple preventive measures.
