Neglect and Neurodevelopment: A Narrative Review Understanding the Link Between Child Neglect and Executive Function Deficits by Silvia Herrero-Roldán, Alexandra Martín-Rodríguez

“…Unlike other types of abuse, neglect is characterized by the absence of essential stimuli and caregiving, which are critical for normal brain maturation, particularly in regions involved in executive function. <b>Objective</b>: This narrative review aims to critically explore the neurobiological mechanisms through which early-life neglect impairs the development of executive functions. …”

A nomogram model incorporating blood biomarkers predicts 3-week functional outcomes in stroke patients by Suzhen Ye, Ting Ding, Xin Gao, Xuezhen Zhou, Meihong Xiu, Yu Xia

“…Discrimination and calibration values of the nomogram were analyzed, and its utility was assessed using decision curve analysis.ResultsFour blood biomarkers, including PT (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.05–2.12), FIB (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.14–2.00), RBG (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03–1.40), and UA (OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.99–1.00) were independent predictors of the 3-week functional outcomes after a stroke. The nomogram incorporating these biomarkers demonstrated moderate discriminative ability (AUC values = 0.714, 95%CI: 0.641–0.786), with satisfactory calibration and positive net benefit on DCA across clinically relevant threshold probabilities.ConclusionWe developed a pragmatic nomogram integrating readily available blood biomarkers to predict 3-week functional outcomes in stroke patients. …”
