The findings of this study suggest that children with sensorineural hearing loss have a defect in their fine motor skills when compared to normal children of the same gender and age groups according to Bruininks-Oseretsky scale.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disturbance characterized by impaired control of movement. Function often decreases and 15% of adults are classified as severely affected (Gross Motor Function Classification Scale III-V). Little is known about interventions that aim to improve functional abilities in this population.
To evaluate a 12-week intervention based on motor learning principles on functional ability in adults with severe CP.
16 adults (36±10 years, GMFCS III-V) were enrolled and divided into an intervention group (Active group) and a standard care group (Control group). Primary outcome measure was Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88). Secondary measures were neurological status. The Active group were measured at baseline, after the intervention and at one-month follow-up. The Control group were measured at baseline and after one month.
Analysis showed statistically significant improvement in GMFM-88 for the Active group from baseline to post assessment compared with the Control group (group difference 5 points, SE 14.5, p = 0.008, CI 1.2 to 8.7). Improvements were maintained at follow-up. Results from the neurological screening showed no clear tendencies.
The study provides support that activities based on motor learning principles may improve gross motor function in adults with severe CP.

Exercise with self-selected intensity (SSI) has emerged as a new strategy for exercise prescription aiming to increase exercise adherence in Parkinson's disease (PD).
We compared the cardiovascular, perceived exertion and affective responses during traditional aerobic exercise and with SSI in PD.
Twenty patients with PD performed two aerobic exercise sessions in random order with an interval of at least 72 h between them Traditional session (cycle ergometer, 25 min, 50 rpm) with imposed intensity (II) (60-80% maximum heart rate [HR]) and SSI (cycle ergometer, 25 min, 50 rpm) with SSI. The HR (Polar V800 monitor), systolic blood pressure (auscultatory method), rating of perceived exertion (Borg scale 6-20) and affective responses (feeling scale) were assessed during the exercise at 8th and 18th minute. The Generalized Estimating Equation Model was used for comparison between both sessions (P < 0.05).
The exercise intensity was not significantly different between both exercise sessions (8th minute II -76.3±1.0 vs. SSI -76.5±1.3 % of maximal HR; 18th minute II -78.9±0.9 vs. SSI -79.1±1.3 % of maximal HR, p = 0.93). Blood pressure, perceived exertion and affective responses were also not significantly different between both sessions (P > 0.05).
Cardiovascular and psychophysiological responses were not different during aerobic exercise performed with II and with SSI in patients with PD.

There is no consensus on how to wean infants from Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP). We hypothesized that ceasing NCPAP abruptly would decrease the duration required, compared with a gradual wean.
This retrospective chart review included preterm infants requiring NCPAP for over 48 hours. Cohort1 weaned NCPAP by cycling on and off, while cohort 2 ceased NCPAP abruptly. The primary outcome was total days on NCPAP. Secondary outcomes included rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, weight gain, duration of hospital stay, and compliance with the use of stability criteria.
81 infants met inclusion criteria in cohort one, and 89 in cohort two. Median days on NCPAP were 17.0 and 11.0 days, respectively, not significant. There was no significant difference in secondary outcomes.
There was no significant association between the two NCPAP weaning protocols and the outcomes studied.

It is known that small for gestational age (SGA) babies may be at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases during adulthood. There is paucity of literature regarding comparative cardiac functions of SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies in neonatal period. The present study was conceived to compare the cardiac function of term small and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) babies through a relatively novel echocardiographic index in early neonatal period.
To compare values of myocardial performance index (MPI) index (MPI = IVCT + IVRT/ET) at 48-72 hours of age among AGA and SGA babies.
Morphological and anthropometric assessment of serially born term babies was done at time of birth to recruit hundred each of AGA and SGA babies. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) was done between 48-72 hours for each enrolled baby to assess both right and left ventricle MPI in each group.
Mean±SD values for right ventricular MPI in AGA and SGA groups were 0.268 + 0.007 and 0.30 + 0.026 respectively (p <  0.001). Mean±SD values for left ventricular MPI in AGA and SGA groups were 0.25 + 0.012 and 0.30 + 0.017 respectively (p <  0.001). Lapatinib inhibitor There was significant negative correlation between MPI values for either ventricles and the birth weight (spearmen's rho of -0.66) (p <  0.001). Mean±SD values for LVET in AGA and SGA group were 0.304 + 0.026 and 0.266 + 0.032 respectively (p <  0.001).
MPI had a higher absolute value in the SGA babies as compared to AGA babies. These observations point towards suboptimal cardiac performance among SGA babies as compared to AGA babies on the basis of myocardial performance index.
