Mega-analytic support for Early Start Denver Model, age at intervention start, and pre-intervention developmental level as factors differentiating early intervention outcomes in autism Open
Objective Autism early intervention meta-analyses have provided initial answers to questions such as ‘ what types of interventions work ’ and ‘ for what outcomes ’? However, we also want to know ‘ for whom ’ is early intervention most effe…

Sex Differences in the Striatal Contributions to Longitudinal Fine Motor Development in Autistic Children Open
Sensorimotor-affiliated dorsal striatum structures may contribute to concurrent motor ability and predict fine motor improvement during critical windows of development in a sex-specific and diagnosis-dependent way. Moreover, the dorsal str…

Changes in the severity of autism symptom domains are related to mental health challenges during middle childhood Open
Many autistic children experience changes in core symptom severity across middle childhood, when co-occurring mental health conditions emerge. We evaluated this relationship in 75 autistic children from 6 to 11 years old. Autism symptom se…

CRRT documentation education: Increasing compliance on a new electronic health record Open
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a modality by which critically ill and hemodynamically unstable patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) can receive hemodialysis. Documentation for CRRT includes many crucial elements and co…
View article: Default mode and fronto-parietal network associations with IQ development across childhood in autism
Default mode and fronto-parietal network associations with IQ development across childhood in autism Open
Background Intellectual disability affects approximately one third of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (autism). Yet, a major unresolved neurobiological question is what differentiates autistic individuals with and without intelle…
View article: Altered Development of Amygdala-Connected Brain Regions in Males and Females with Autism
Altered Development of Amygdala-Connected Brain Regions in Males and Females with Autism Open
Altered amygdala development is implicated in the neurobiology of autism, but little is known about the coordinated development of the brain regions directly connected with the amygdala. Here we investigated the volumetric development of a…

Adoption of the use of a reflective blanket for passive re-warming of the stable mildly hypothermic patient to reduce unnecessary ICU admissions: A pilot study Open
Background and objective: In adult inpatients, thermoregulation is important to support vital functions. Occasionally, due to procedures or benign clinical conditions, such as hypoglycemia, autonomic instability, brain injury, paraplegia, …
