PURPOSE: To describe positive mental health, or "flourishing," and self-reported health trajectories among transition-aged young adults (TAYA) with developmental/learning and physical disabilities over a 12-year period, utilizing a population-based sample. METHODS: This study features a secondary analysis of national data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition to Adulthood Supplement. The analytic sample included all TAYA with (n = 487) and without (n = 810) disabilities, including developmental/learning disabilities (DD/LD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and speech, hearing, and vision impairments who participated in 2017 Transition to Adulthood Supplement data collection (n = 1,297; M age = 24...

BACKGROUND: Ageing simulation suits and equipment give healthcare professional (HCP) students the opportunity to experience what it might feel like to be an older person with age-related disability or illness. Ageing simulation experiences, where students complete activities of daily living (ADL) tasks, aim to reproduce the challenges an older person may face. OBJECTIVES: We undertook a scoping literature review to establish, from the evidence base, what is known about simulating ageing experiences for HCP students and its impact on attitudes towards older patients...

This clinical review is designed to assist the pediatrician, family physician or internist in caring for the child, adolescent, adult and family in whom a diagnosis of 16p11.2 deletion syndrome has been confirmed by chromosome analysis. Although a pediatrician's initial contact with the child is usually within the first 5 years of life, occasionally an adolescent or adult will be tested and diagnosed after their sibling or child has been diagnosed with the same condition. Age specific guidance for the clinician is provided in Supplement Fig 1...

OBJECTIVE: Using cross-sectional data from the 2018 Health Survey for England, this study describes the types of impairment reported by people with chronic conditions and the association of chronic conditions and impairments with physical activity(PA). METHODS: Participants self-reported the presence of seven chronic health conditions (diabetes; stroke/ischemic heart disease; hypertension; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); asthma; arthritis/rheumatism/fibrositis; back problems), 11 types of impairment (vision, hearing, mobility, dexterity; learning; memory; mental health; stamina; social or behavioural; other; none); and their PA using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire...

Highly clinical and genetic heterogeneity of neurodevelopmental disorders presents a major challenge in clinical genetics and medicine. Panoramic variation analysis is imperative to analyze the disease phenotypes resulting from multilocus genomic variation. Here, a Pakistani family with parental consanguinity was presented, characterized with severe intellectual disability (ID), spastic paraplegia, and deafness. Homozygosity mapping, integrated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, whole-exome sequencing, and whole-genome sequencing were performed, and homozygous variants in TMEM141 (c...

Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability (ID), but a pathogenic mechanism has not been identified yet. Studying a complex and not monogenic condition such as DS, a clear correlation between cause and effect might be difficult to find through classical analysis methods, thus different approaches need to be used. The increased availability of big data has made the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular machine learning (ML) in the medical field possible...

Historically, individuals with hearing impairments have faced neglect, lacking the necessary tools to facilitate effective communication. However, advancements in modern technology have paved the way for the development of various tools and software aimed at improving the quality of life for hearing-disabled individuals. This research paper presents a comprehensive study employing five distinct deep learning models to recognize hand gestures for the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet. The primary objective of this study was to leverage contemporary technology to bridge the communication gap between hearing-impaired individuals and individuals with no hearing impairment...

INTRODUCTION: Neurodivergent emerging adults - defined as individuals between the ages of 18 and 30 with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (e.g., attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, seizures, developmental delays, with or without intellectual impairment) and physical and/or sensory disabilities (e.g., blindness or hearing impairment) - experience poor mental and physical health outcomes. Existing interventions are insufficient because they are not based on the self-reported and developmental needs of this population...

PUF60-related developmental disorder (also referred to as Verheij syndrome), resulting from haploinsufficiency of PUF60, is associated with multiple congenital anomalies affecting a wide range of body systems. These anomalies include ophthalmic coloboma, and congenital anomalies of the heart, kidney, and musculoskeletal system. Behavioral and intellectual difficulties are also observed. While less common than other features associated with PUF60-related developmental disorder, for instance hearing impairment and short stature, identification of specific anomalies such as ophthalmic coloboma can aid with diagnostic identification given the limited spectrum of genes linked with this feature...

INTRODUCTION: There is a long-standing commitment in higher education to provide parallel experiences for students with disabilities, including those with hearing disabilities or impairments. The commitment remains the same in professional pharmacy school education, with the objective to train competent clinical pharmacy practitioners.

The late preterm infants (34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks of gestation) account for at least 70% of all preterm birth. Our aim was to detect growth and neurodevelopment outcome, incidence of neurodevelopmental disability, and its association with maternal and neonatal risk factors among sick late preterm population. Two hundred and ninety-nine late preterm infants were followed up till corrected 2 years of age in this retrospective cohort study. Assessment was done by anthropometry and Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants (DASII) scale at corrected 2 years of age...

Almost half a billion people world-wide suffer from disabling hearing loss. While hearing aids can partially compensate for this, a large proportion of users struggle to understand speech in situations with background noise. Here, we present a deep learning-based algorithm that selectively suppresses noise while maintaining speech signals. The algorithm restores speech intelligibility for hearing aid users to the level of control subjects with normal hearing. It consists of a deep network that is trained on a large custom database of noisy speech signals and is further optimized by a neural architecture search, using a novel deep learning-based metric for speech intelligibility...

PURPOSE: Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a lifelong condition that when impacting educational performance is identified and serviced through U.S. schools as outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. A few examples of educational categories that refer to DLD are (a) speech or language impairment (S/LI) and (b) specific learning disability (SLD). In this research note, we aim to examine trends in how these categories are assigned. METHOD: We analyzed publicly available data released by the U...

The fundamental characteristics of quality of life (QoL) are considered the same for all people. However, the relative importance of QoL domains may vary for specific populations. No studies have focused on understanding QoL for people with intellectual disabilities with additional communicative disabilities (developmental language disorder or hearing impairment), who experience complex and multiple communicative disabilities (CMCD). This study provides a narrative overview of QoL domains and indicators for this population, highlighting the role of communication...

BACKGROUND: Hearing is essential for learning in school, and untreated hearing loss may hinder quality education and equal opportunities. Detection of children with hearing loss is the first step in improving the learning situation, but effective interventions must also be provided. Hearing aids can provide great benefit for children with hearing impairment, but this may not be a realistic alternative in many low- and middle-income countries because of the shortage of hearing aids and hearing care service providers...
