Pilot Study: Role Of Social Support And Stress On Anxiety In First-Year College Students, Erin N. Smith, Deven L. Dancy, Lauren E. Nee, Kali Rebuck, Stephanie J. Shirk

Journal of Applied Disciplines

Research indicates worsening mental health, especially anxiety, in college populations; yet few studies have investigated anxiety and related factors in this population. This study examined the impacts and interrelations among anxiety, stress, and social support in first year, first semester college students. In a sample of 119 students, the following models of the impact of social support in the stress-anxiety relation were tested: 1) a direct impact of social support, 2) a moderating effect of social support, and 3) an indirect impact of social support. Results indicated that the indirect model of the influence of social support best fit the …

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Trisomy of the short arm of chromosome 12 (trisomy 12p) is a rare chromosomal abnormality causing dysmorphic features, congenital anomalies, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and seizures. Detailed information regarding the types of seizures is scarce owing to the low incidence of seizures. In contrast, 18p deletions and seizures are rare. Previous reports on trisomy 12p or monosomy 18p are limited, and little is known about epilepsy in children with trisomy 12p or monosomy 18p. Here, we report a case of 46,XX,der(18)t(12;18)(p11.2;p11.2) with repeatedly disturbed consciousness accompanied with alternating hemiplegia, corresponding to the electroencephalogram findings. G-banding of the parents showed balanced …


Comorbidity Of Cerebral Palsy And Bipolar Disorder In Two Adolescents: Case Series, Ayda Beril Nas Ünver, Merve Onat, Esra Çöp Jan 2026

Comorbidity Of Cerebral Palsy And Bipolar Disorder In Two Adolescents: Case Series, Ayda Beril Nas Ünver, Merve Onat, Esra Çöp

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common condition in children that affects movement and posture due to non-progressive disruptions during cerebral development. Patients with CP are at a higher risk of developing mental health disorders due to social and physical factors. 28%–57% of children diagnosed with CP exhibit psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms. The symptoms of intellectual disability and related behavioral disorders that are often associated with cerebral palsy can be easily confused with the symptoms of a mood disorder. Therefore, there is a possibility of a delay in the diagnostic procedure and the commencement of treatment, which could potentially endanger the …

Psychological Factors And Family Communication In Children And Adolescents With Elimination Disorders, Mehdi Ebrahimi, Hossein Mousavi Nasab, Mehrdad Hosseinpour, Noshirvan Khezri Moghadam

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Elimination disorders, such as urinary (enuresis) and fecal incontinence (encopresis), involve inappropriate voiding beyond the expected age due to developmental, psychological, or physiological factors. These conditions impact children’s emotional well-being, self-esteem, social functioning, and family relationships. However, few studies have compared psychological functioning and family communication in affected children. This study examines general health, behavioral problems, and mother-child relationships in children with elimination disorders versus healthy peers. Methods: Seventy-two children participated: 25 with urinary incontinence, 24 with fecal incontinence, and 23 healthy controls. Participants were recruited from hospitals in Isfahan. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires: the General Health …

Acute Onset, Relapsing-Remitting Choreiform Movement Disorder In A Girl With 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Sara Brunetti, Silvia Saottini, Anna Molinaro, Patrizia Accorsi, Annarosa Soresina, Michele Frigerio, Elisa Maria Fazzi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion disorder, presenting with a broad spectrum of congenital abnormalities and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Movement disorder is one of the most common neurological manifestation of the syndrome. The literature reports that early Parkinson's disease and dystonia in particular are associated with the syndrome. We here describe the first known case of choreiform movement disorder in a girl suffering from 22q11.2DS, responsive to tetrabenazine after a relapsing-remitting course.

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Objective: Leigh syndrome, formerly known as infantile subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy, is a progressive neurometabolic disorder characterized by midbrain and brainstem lesions leading to rapid neurodegeneration. Pathological variants in over 80 nuclear encoded genes, predominantly affecting respiratory chain and energy metabolism proteins, have been implicated in Leigh syndrome. This paper aims to provide an overview of current understanding of Leigh syndrome, emphasizing clinical, pathological, and molecular genetic aspects, with a specific focus on a novel finding of adolescent onset Leigh syndrome associated with variant c.640G>A identified among Low German-speaking Mennonite families in Southwestern Ontario. Methods: We present a case series …

Infantile Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Case Report Of An 8-Month-Old Child, Deniz Yasar, Cihan İnan, Bilge Akkaya, Nesrin Ceylan, Berna Ucan, Nilden Tuygun Jan 2026

Infantile Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Case Report Of An 8-Month-Old Child, Deniz Yasar, Cihan İnan, Bilge Akkaya, Nesrin Ceylan, Berna Ucan, Nilden Tuygun

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a clinical disorder also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is characterized by increased intracranial pressure of unknown causes. Although it is most commonly observed in young obese women, IIH can also occur in the pediatric population; however, it is exceptionally rare in infancy. Infants do not typically exhibit characteristic signs and symptoms of IIH, making it challenging to diagnose. Additionally, treatment modalities for this disease remain uncertain. Case Description: We report a 8-month-old female admitted to the pediatric emergency department with IIH, to report and emphasize our approach. Our patient presented initially with fever, vomiting and …

Severe Hypoplasia/Aplasia Of The Medullary Arcuate Nucleus In A Further Patient With Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Elvio Della Giustina, Tiziana Salviato, Luca Fabbiani, Luciano Mancini, Antonino Maiorana, Luca Reggiani Bonetti

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

The aim of this study was to verify and confirm the close correlation between the absence of the medullary arcuate nucleus and sudden death in a 4-month-old infant. Careful neuropathological examination of the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia and cerebellum was irrelevant to the death. The brainstem region, normally occupied by the nuclei was cut into several serial sections so as not to lose any details. The largest median part of the medullary arcuate nucleus was completely absent and only very small groups of residual neurons in its most lateral part were still detectable; the rest of the brainstem showed no …

Opsoclonus In Children: Diagnosis, Etiology And Ophthalmologic Assessment Of Patients At A Tertiary Children’S Hospital, Melissa Yuan, Jacqueline Jeon-Chapman, Tais Estrela, Ryan Gise

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Introduction: Opsoclonus is often associated with serious neurologic and paraneoplastic pathology. Pediatric ophthalmologists play an important role in its diagnosis. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients seen for suspicion of opsoclonus. Results: 259 patients were identified for whom opsoclonus was suspected, of which 83 (32%) were found to be true opsoclonus. The ophthalmology consultation changed the course of workup in 44 of the 117 patients that received ophthalmologic evaluation (38%). 16 (9%) were found to have primary ophthalmic diagnoses. Of the 83 children with opsoclonus, 36 (43%) had paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS), 32 (39%) had non-paraneoplastic OMAS, 1 (1.2%) had …
