Article Abstract
Multifrequency tympanometry data were measured multiple times between the ages of four weeks and two years from 33 infants/toddlers. Tympanograms were also measured from 33 adult participants. Tympanograms recorded with five probe-tone frequencies (226, 400, 630, 800, and 1000 Hz) were classified using the Vanhuyse et al model classification system (Vanhuyse et al, 1975). Admittance at +200 daPa (Y200) and middle ear admittance (Y(ME)) were calculated. The proportion of Vanhuyse et al patterns in infants and toddlers was different than in adults, especially for younger ages. Y(ME) and Y200 both increased with age. Y(ME) and Y200 data for all infant/toddler groups were significantly lower than adult values at all of the tested probe-tone frequencies. These data can be used as a guide in the clinic to assess normal tympanometric values for infants and toddlers.

Prevalence of vision impairment and refractive error in rural Nepalese children under five years of age.
Clin Exp Optom
September 2025
School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Clinical Relevance: Good vision is critical for childhood development and education. Pre-school vision screening is important for early detection and treatment of visual problems, and prevention of life-long vision loss.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vision impairment (VI) and refractive error (RE) in rural Nepalese children under five years of age.
Renal tubular dysgenesis due to variants in the gene encoding ACE in a child surviving the neonatal period.
BMJ Case Rep

Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals NHS Trust, London, England, UK.
Autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by defects in the renin-angiotensin system, with the most common outcomes being foetal or neonatal death from renal failure, pulmonary hypoplasia and/or refractory arterial hypotension. A small proportion of patients survive past the neonatal period. We present the case of a toddler with RTD due to compound heterozygous variants in the gene that codes for ACE, who has not required renal replacement therapy to date and in whom fludrocortisone has achieved electrolyte and acid/base balance.

Perinatal Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.
Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
A cross-sectional analysis of the nutritional quality and prices of commercial infant and toddler food products in the Canadian food supply.

Department of Nutritional Sciences, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Adequate nutrition is essential for growth and development during infancy and early childhood; however, the healthfulness and cost of commercial infant and toddler food and beverage products (ITP) have not been documented in Canada.
Objective: This study assessed the nutritional quality and prices of ITP in the Canadian food supply.
Design: Using the Food Label Information and Price 2020 database, ITP intended for children < 4-years-old ( = 423) were examined for their energy and nutrient content (per 100 g or mL), the prevalence of products 'High in' nutrient(s)-of-concern (according to Canadian front-of-pack labelling thresholds), and their price (per 100 g or mL).

COVID-19 restrictions had a significant impact on family life, including daily activities and routines. This study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's sleep and feeding behaviours, through undertaking reflexive thematic analysis of parents' open-text box responses to survey questions related to their child's sleep and feeding practices during COVID-19 restrictions. Six hundred and ninety one parents of children aged 0-24 months old who were living in the United Kingdom completed an online questionnaire between 14th December 2020 and 15th January 2021.
