Summary: This study aimed to examine the sequential relationships of food intake, and the moderating role of intake characteristics and resident conditions. The results showed that successful intake increased the probability of subsequent intake, while comorbidities were associated with decreased odds of subsequent intake in staff-facilitated episodes. Furthermore, staff-facilitated intake during liquid intake and longer intervals between adjacent episodes increased the odds of subsequent solid intake.

Summary: The majority of children in both groups had the same number of meals at the same time every day, and parents exerted control over both what and when their child ate. A significant proportion of children did not control how much they ate, which might impede their ability to self-regulate eating. Children with gastrointestinal diseases showed reduced autonomy, hampered hunger cues, and frequent use of distractions during meals.

Summary: Maternal food addiction, dietary restraint, and pre-pregnancy BMI are each associated with distinct eating behaviors and risk for overweight in early infancy. Maternal food addiction is associated with increased risk for infant overweight, while maternal dietary restraint is negatively associated with maternal report of infant appetite but positively associated with objectively measured infant hedonic response to sucrose. Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI is positively associated with maternal report of infant appetite.

Summary: This study aimed to identify sucking profiles in healthy, full-term infants and assess their predictive value for future weight gain and eating behaviors. Using 14 metrics, pressure waves of infant sucking were measured during a typical feeding at 4 months. The study found that sucking profiles improved estimation of weight-for-age percentile changes and maternal-reported eating behaviors at 12 months, and infants with a vigorous sucking profile gained more weight than those with a leisurely profile. Infant sucking characteristics may help predict the risk of obesity and deserve further investigation.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the Michigan Model of Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV) on child abuse potential. The findings indicate that those who participated in the IMH-HV program had lower scores on child abuse potential compared to those who did not participate. Additionally, greater participation in home visits was associated with decreased child abuse potential 1 year after starting the treatment. In conclusion, the IMH-HV program reduces the risk of child maltreatment.

Summary: Little research has been done on the longitudinal associations between parental reflective functioning (PRF) and mind-mindedness (MM), and this study aimed to fill this gap. The results showed that both PRF and appropriate MM remained stable over time. PRF at T1 positively predicted appropriate MM at T2, but no other significant cross-lagged associations were found between PRF and appropriate MM. Concurrent correlations between appropriate MM and PRF were only significant at T3. Nonattuned MM showed stability from T1 to T2, but did not predict nonattuned MM at T3. Higher PRF at T1 predicted lower nonattuned MM at T2, and no other significant cross-lagged associations were found between PRF and nonattuned MM.

Summary: Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a global public health issue with limited studies on its management. This study surveyed North American Pediatric Infectious Disease (PID) physicians to understand their approach to evaluating and treating cCMV. The survey found that cCMV screening and testing were infrequent in healthcare institutions, despite a higher level of testing recommended by physicians. There was general consensus on evaluation and treatment, but discrepancies in neuroimaging and indications for antiviral treatment based on age and severity of disease. An evidence-based policy statement is needed to standardize cCMV workup and treatment.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
