Summary: This study examined the distribution and prevalence of badminton-related pain in pre-adolescent and adolescent badminton players. The ankle was the most common site of pain, and 11-12-year-old players had the highest pain rate. Additionally, pain prevalence increased with age, and players with 2-3 years of badminton experience had the highest pain rate.

Summary: The study found that compared to the healthy control group, adolescents with NSSI showed higher pain thresholds and lower pain intensity, as well as decreased plasma BE levels. Pain threshold was positively correlated with borderline personality disorder symptoms, while pain intensity and BE levels were negatively correlated with depression severity.

Summary: There is increasing clinical evidence linking gender variability, gender dysphoria, and autism spectrum disorder. It is crucial to differentiate between symptoms of ASD and co-occurring GD for effective treatment planning. The case study presented showcases a slow social and medical transition resulting in gradual improvement of co-occurring symptoms of GD in an autistic gender diverse individual.

Summary: Father-child conflict is associated with Chinese adolescent depression, with regulatory emotional self-efficacy playing a partial mediating role in this relationship. Gender moderates the relationship between negative emotions and adolescent depression. Girls are more affected by depression at low levels of negative emotions compared to boys.

Summary: This study found that parents reported higher levels of distress when imagining suffering for their own child, with increased brain activity in specific regions supporting cognitive empathy and affective empathy. Parental caregiving behavior did not correlate with activity in empathy networks, but parents perceived as less caring exhibited increased neural activity when imagining their own child suffering.

Summary: This study explores clinician reactions and perceptions of support following child and adolescent suicide. The results show that some clinicians are satisfied with the support they receive, while others feel it is inadequate. They need to temporarily step back and recover after challenging experiences, and receive support from their team.

Summary: Bifacial crystalline Silicon (Si) photovoltaic (PV) devices are receiving significant attention from manufacturers and the market due to their enhanced performance compared to traditional monofacial PV devices. This article analyzes and compares different testing methods for the electrical performance of bifacial Si devices at the European Solar Test Installation, and concludes that deviations in P$_{max}$ below 0.9% were obtained for most testing methods except for the double-source approach with a rear reflector where the measurement of the rear irradiance influences the P$_{max}$.

Summary: This case study presents a 15-year-old girl with somatic symptoms such as arthralgia and myalgia, which were eventually found to be caused by gender incongruence. Gender dysphoria in pubertal age may manifest through somatoform symptoms, posing a challenge for parents to accept the diagnosis even in the presence of adequate multi-disciplinary hospital services.

Summary: This study evaluates different inductance measurement methods for different types of motors, and measures the d-axis and q-axis inductances of two surface-mount PM motors at standstill and under running conditions. The dependence of inductances on current magnitude, frequency, and excitation signal waveform is investigated. A new inductance measurement method is introduced for running tests. The results from different standstill tests and running tests are compared and evaluated.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the most prevalent and influential negative social determinants of health according to adolescent reports and assess the concordance between adolescent and caregiver reports. The results showed that stress and financial hardship were the most frequent negative social determinants of health reported by adolescents, and the main factors preventing adolescents from living their best and healthiest lives were depression, isolation, and stress. The concordance between caregiver and adolescent reports of negative social determinants of health was very low, with caregivers often underreporting adolescents' social and mental health needs, while adolescents underreported material needs. Therefore, a hybrid informant approach may be necessary for social determinants of health screening among adolescents.

Summary: Self-harm is highly prevalent among young people with eating disorders, but the reasons behind the concurrent occurrence of these two conditions are unclear. This study aims to investigate the frequency, intensity, duration, function, context, and processes of self-harm among individuals aged 16-25 diagnosed with an eating disorder, as well as explore their perspectives on the genesis and functions of both self-harm and eating disorder, and their support needs.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the feasibility of closed-loop anesthesia guided by the NeuroSENSE WAV(CNS) index in the presence of ketamine. The results showed that the full-dose ketamine group had significantly higher WAV(CNS) indices compared to the control group, while there was no significant difference between the half-dose ketamine group and the control group.

Summary: This study examined the ability of preschool children to use two simplified pain intensity scales and found that accuracy in binary discrimination and seriation ability improved with age. Three-year-olds showed poor performance in using the simplified tools, while four-year-olds displayed greater accuracy with the Simplified Concrete Ordinal Scale compared to the Simplified Faces Pain Scale.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of pragmatic imputation approaches in estimating model coefficients with varying degrees of data missingness. The results showed that multiple imputation by chained equations is an effective strategy, outperforming traditional approaches. Researchers should consider using imputation methods when encountering missing data in their work.

Summary: This study establishes age-specific pediatric NIBP reference values, stratified by anesthetic type. The study found that mean NIBP during anesthesia increased with age. These reference values are important for ongoing debates about alarm limits based on age and anesthetic type, and may motivate further research on the effects of different anesthesia regimes on vital signs.

Summary: More than 50 countries, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, are not on track to achieve the neonatal and under-five mortality target set by the SDGs for 2030. Post-discharge mortality, particularly in resource-poor countries, is a significant but often overlooked aspect of child mortality rates. This systematic review aims to explore the rates and risk factors for pediatric post-discharge mortality in resource-poor settings.

Summary: Accurate clinical sensors and devices are crucial for optimal medical decision-making. Clinical validation studies using validated reference sensors and/or devices can demonstrate their accuracy. Measurement uncertainty can affect accuracy, and validation study design strategies can quantify and minimize these uncertainties. The impact of observation uncertainty on clinical decision-making should be minimized and accounted for.
