The study adopted a descriptive research design with a purposive sampling technique to select available thirty (30) parents of children with ID drawn from the Association for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities of Nigeria as the study sample. Four research questions were raised to guide the study. A validated self-designed questionnaire titled 'Questionnaire on Challenges Facing Parents of Children with ID (QCFPCID r=067)' was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using mean, frequency count, and simple percentages. Results revealed that family members with ID negatively affect the family economy, family living standard, and all children's education. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that government should make provisions for social welfare that will help reduce the challenges facing parents of children with ID.","PeriodicalId":37806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44216184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leptin and adiponectin were also significant predictors of obesity and its comorbidity in DS. However, there was limited data regarding leptin and adiponectin in children with DS, particularly who were undernutrition. This study aimed to seek the role of leptin levels, adiponectin levels, and nutritional status in children with DS. \u0000Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 children with DS aged 1 - 5 years. Height and weight were measured, and then the growth was interpreted using a DS growth chart. The Weight for Height Z-Score (WHZ) and Height for Age Z-Score (HAZ) were determined, and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) was measured. Leptin and adiponectin serum were analyzed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Mann-Whitney test was done to compare leptin and adiponectin levels in normal and wasted groups, while Spearman’s analysis was carried out to correlate laboratory results and anthropometric parameters. \u0000Results: Forty children participated (23 males, 17 females) with a median age was 25.5 months. Ten out of 40 children with DS (25%) were wasted and leptin was significantly lower in wasted compared to normal children. In addition, leptin was significantly correlated with WHZ (r = 0.415; p = 0.008), and MUAC (r = 0.427; p = 0.006), while adiponectin did not significantly correlate with those anthropometric variables in both wasted or non-wasted groups. \u0000Conclusion: Leptin is associated with WHZ and MUAC, and it decreases in wasted children with DS.","PeriodicalId":37806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47470500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concerning intellectually disabled females, the impotent charges are because they often face discrimination in education, the workplace, and society and become victims of abuse, neglect, and sexual violence. However, despite being a crucial topic of social interest, the studies in this specific field are limited, especially in Saudi Arabia. \u0000Aim of the Study: The present research has examined the effects of empowerment on intellectually disabled females in Saudi Arabia. \u0000Method: The research employed semi-structured interviews with 18 respondents, including four education workers, social development workers, and intellectually disabled females. The interview responses have been further analysed and evaluated with the help of thematic analyses. \u0000Results and Conclusion: The findings suggest an increased need to empower females in Saudi for poverty reduction, increased literacy rates, ensure educated and socially responsible citizens, happier families, and a violence-free society. Intellectually disabled females are often neglected, abandoned, and sexually ally harassed. Hence, it is essential to empower such females to protect themselves from discrimination and exercise human rights, laws, and policies equally. The results indicate that empowering intellectually disabled females positively affects society by decreasing violence, addressing poverty, and building a healthier, socially responsible, and educated future. Hence, the Saudi government should make disability inclusion for organisations a priority.","PeriodicalId":37806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45044984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored the integrity of motor tracts between the thalamus and cerebral cortex by quantifying the thalamic probabilistic connectivity with motor cortices (namely primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, and premotor cortex) in SCP using diffusion MRI. The current study also parcellated the thalamus according to its connectivity to the three motor cortices in healthy control and SCP. \u0000Methods: Probabilistic tractography was performed on secondary diffusion MRI data of eight SCP patients (mean age 11.9 years old) and ten healthy controls. The connection probability index, an indirect indicator of white matter integrity, was measured between the thalamus to three areas of the motor cortex; primary motor, premotor and supplementary motor. The thalamus was further parcellated according to its connection probability with the motor cortices. \u0000Results: The pattern of thalamocortical connectivity in cerebral palsy was found to be varied and mainly complied with the patient's clinical presentation. In comparison with controls, the SCP patients showed either lower or higher connection probabilities to the motor cortices. A striking feature of thalamic parcellation in SCP was the presence of a cluster with a positive connection to the supplementary motor area. \u0000Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the thalamocortical connectivity in SCP was different from healthy individuals and largely follows the clinical manifestation. There was also evidence of neuroplasticity serving as a compensatory mechanism for the motor deficit in patients with SCP.","PeriodicalId":37806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48884896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teachers defined ten target concepts related to the cognitive schema of inclusive education. They had 60 seconds to define each target, using verbs, adjectives, nouns, and pronouns, after rating the definers’ quality to conceptualize the target. Subsequently, the authors implemented a constraint satisfaction neural network to simulate the school inclusion schema's behavior and carried out a chronometric cognitive analysis using data from the first study. \u0000Results: Participants organized the educative inclusion meaning on four dimensions (definition, actors' qualities, stakeholders, and inclusion program effects). However, some concepts about school integration and conventional education appeared in the educative inclusion schema. Further, computer simulations showed that participants seem to have an internal locus of control over inclusive actions. Generally, experience with students with disabilities promotes the formation of a favorable educational inclusion schema. However, even though participants in this study have experience in inclusion programs, they are still constructing the inclusive education schema. \u0000Conclusion: The cognitive evaluation provides useful information to empower teachers to be aware of their knowledge and biases on inclusive education and the importance of their work in the success of school inclusion programs.","PeriodicalId":37806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48530752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
