This paper extends the understanding of the relation between ADHD and reading comprehension, through examining how this relation differs depending on the quantile an individual falls in for each. Samples from three twin projects around the United States were used (Florida Twin Project, Colorado component of International Longitudinal Twin Study of Early Reading Development, & Western Reserve Reading and Math Projects). Phenotypic analysis using quantile regression showed relations between ADHD related behaviors and reading comprehension to be stronger in the lower quantiles of reading comprehension in two of three samples. A new method was developed extending this analysis into the bivariate genetic space. Results of this quantile genetic analysis revealed that overlapping common environmental influences accounted for a larger proportion of variance in the lower quantiles of these variables in two of three samples. Finally, in all three samples the phenotypic relation was strongest when shared environmental influences accounted for a larger proportion of the overall variance.

Aim: To explore the potential axiological shift in nursing, drawing upon a critical reading of the new definition of 'nursing' published by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in June 2025, and to articulate its implications for research and doctoral education.
Design: Critical discussion paper.
Methods: Guided by critical inquiry and emancipatory nursing knowledge development approaches, this paper deploys retroductive analysis to interrogate the axiological commitments that inform and are generated by the 2025 ICN definition and how it relates to nursing research.

This meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of pictorial and graphic representations (PGR) in enhancing reading comprehension among K-12 students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through synthesizing findings from five single-case experimental design studies, the analysis explores how different modalities, age groups, instructional contexts, and task types influence comprehension outcomes. Results indicate that interventions utilizing PGR show moderate-to-strong positive effects overall (Tau-U = 0.

Background: With the development of artificial intelligence, obtaining patient-centered medical information through large language models (LLMs) is crucial for patient education. However, existing digital resources in online health care have heterogeneous quality, and the reliability and readability of content generated by various AI models need to be evaluated to meet the needs of patients with different levels of cultural literacy.
Objective: This study aims to compare the accuracy and readability of different LLMs in providing medical information related to gynecomastia, and explore the most promising science education tools in practical clinical applications.

Family socioeconomic status is broadly acknowledged to be associated with child development and wellbeing. However, the extent of this association across various dimensions of child development remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental education and child cognitive and socioemotional skills, as well as the mediating role of children's leisure time activities, including screen time and shared book reading.

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin inflammatory condition characterized by severe, persistent itching and excoriated nodules induced by scratching. PN is strongly related to neural and immune dysfunction and negatively impacts quality of life. Treatments for PN are often off-label, highlighting the need for specifically approved agents and consensus guidelines for patient management.
