In pediatric patients who participate in organized, competitive athletics, this can manifest with somatic, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms such as activation of the sympathetic nervous system and avoidance behaviors. Performance anxiety may now be classified as a psychiatric disorder if symptoms have been longstanding and cause significant emotional distress and/or functional impairment. Participation in competitive sports can confer many benefits to pediatric patients, but these benefits may go unrealized if performance anxiety is not addressed and leads to attrition from athletics. This review provides up-to-date information on prevalence and risk factors of performance anxiety in young athletes (generally speaking, school-age children, adolescents, and young adults). The clinical presentation, assessment considerations including differential diagnosis, and several standardized measures of performance anxiety are overviewed. We also review comprehensive management of sports performance anxiety in pediatric populations, with an emphasis on psychological interventions. Presently, cognitive behavioral therapy dominates the literature as an effective treatment for this condition, and special considerations in adapting this intervention to pediatric populations are considered.

The assessment of recurrence risk prior to treatment is of utmost importance in determining the most suitable treatment modality and intensity for medulloblastoma. Consequently, the creation of a predictive model for medulloblastoma recurrence is imperative in aiding clinical decision-making. The objective of this study is to construct an enhanced risk prediction model for relapse in medulloblastoma by integrating molecular subtyping and straightforward immune markers, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), into a nomogram.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 273 patients diagnosed with medulloblastoma. The NLR was calculated prior to radiotherapy, and various clinical characteristics including age, gender, molecular subtype, dissemination, and residual lesions after resection were collected. Survival analysis was performed utilizing the Kaplan-Meier method, while Cox regression models were employed to identify independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, a column chart illustrating all independent prognostic factors was generated using R. The nomogram's prognostic predictive ability was evaluated using the Concordance Index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC), and calibration curve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The median progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort was determined to be 63.8 months. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify independent prognostic factors that were associated with PFS in patients diagnosed with medulloblastoma. These factors included age, residual tumor volume exceeding 1.5 cm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, NLR exceeding 4.5, dissemination occurring prior radiotherapy, and molecular subtype classified as Group 3. These identified factors were then utilized to construct a column chart. The nomogram C-index for the predicted PFS in the training and validation cohorts was 0.749 and 0.736, respectively. The AUC for predicting the 3-year PFS exhibited satisfactory accuracy in the validation cohort (AUC =0.71). Furthermore, the calibration curve indicated a strong concordance between the predicted and ideal values. Additionally, the Kaplan-Meier curve, based on PFS, demonstrated a statistically significant distinction between the low-risk and high-risk groups as predicted by the nomogram (P&lt;0.001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Our study revealed that the NLR prior to treatment serves as an autonomous prognostic determinant for the recurrence or metastasis of medulloblastoma subsequent to treatment.

The variable clinical manifestations make the diagnosis of ALGS difficult. This study aimed to provide a basis for the early diagnosis of ALGS patients whose clinical identification is difficult and to enrich the spectrum of genetic variants implicated in Chinese children with ALGS.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>From August 2016 to August 2022, 14 children with ALGS were enrolled in this retrospective study. Clinical and related data were obtained from medical records.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among the 14 patients, 11 were males and 3 were females. The age of first manifestation of liver disease mean (Q1, Q3) was 0.4 (0.1, 37.0) months, and the age of diagnosis mean (Q1, Q3) was 5.6 (2.4, 48.5) months. Cholestasis was seen in 14 patients, cardiac defects in eight, characteristic facial features in 11, skeletal abnormalities in six, and renal abnormality in one. Among eight patients who underwent ophthalmological examination, posterior embryotoxon was seen in two. We identified 12 different <i>JAG1</i> gene mutations and two different <i>NOTCH2</i> gene variations. Among the mutations detected, six were novel, including c.2849_2850del (p.S950*), c.35_45delGCCCCCTAAGC (p.R12Pfs*57), c.1860delC (p.F621Sfs*122), and c.1293_1294insTAGTAGACA (p.A432*) in <i>JAG1</i>, and c.6040_6041 del (p.L2014Vfs*10) and c.1915+1G>T (splicing) in <i>NOTCH2</i>. The follow-up time mean (Q1, Q3) was 48.5 (11.5, 69.0) months; four patients had delayed growth, eight had pruritus, two had xanthomas, seven had elevated bilirubin, and 13 had elevated transaminase. All patients were stable after medical treatment.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>ALGS presents a variety of clinical manifestations. Some patients may be misdiagnosed with biliary atresia due to bile duct proliferation in liver biopsies along with biochemical abnormalities. Genetic testing is helpful for early diagnosis. <i>JAG1</i> and <i>NOTCH2</i> gene mutant spectra are abundant and there are many novel mutations in Chinese children with ALGS.</p>","PeriodicalId":23294,"journal":{"name":"Translational pediatrics","volume":"13 12","pages":"2144-2154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11732638/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143012348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
