Parenting is a critical mediator of children's school readiness. In line with this theory of change, data from the randomized clinical trial of Smart Beginnings (tiered Video Interaction Project and Family Check-Up; N = 403, treatment arm n = 201) were used to examine treatment impacts on early language and literacy skills at child age 4 years (n = 168, n = 198, n = 203), as well as indirect impacts through parental support of cognitive stimulation at child age 2 years. Although results did not reveal direct effects on children's early skills, there were significant indirect effects for early literacy (β = .03, p = .05) and early language (β = .04, p = .04) via improvements in parental cognitive stimulation. Implications for interventions targeting parenting to improve children's school readiness beginning at birth are discussed.

Large language models (LLMs) represent a transformative advance in artificial intelligence, with growing potential to impact chronic kidney disease (CKD) management. CKD is a complex, highly prevalent condition requiring multifaceted care and substantial patient engagement. Recent developments in LLMs-including conversational AI, multimodal integration, and autonomous agents-offer novel opportunities to enhance patient education, streamline clinical documentation, and support decision-making across nephrology practice.

Developmental dyslexia is a disorder marked by difficulties in reading, spelling, and connecting sounds to written language. The high-level visual dysfunction hypothesis suggests these difficulties may partially arise from abnormalities in high-level visual cognition such as the ability to integrate visual input for higher-order cognitive functions such as reading. Here we examined adult (mean age = 35) dyslexic readers' neural functioning as they recognized identities of nonlinguistic visual objects, specifically houses and faces.

Background: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders often emerge in adolescence or early adulthood and are a leading cause of global disability. Early identification of clinical high‑risk for psychosis (CHR‑P) can reduce comorbidity and shorten untreated psychosis duration, yet clinician‑administered tools (e.g.

Background: Reproductive-age women with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) following uterine surgery may be asymptomatic or may experience light or absent menstruation, infertility, preterm delivery, and/or peripartum hemorrhage. Understanding procedure- and technique-specific risks and the available evidence on the impact of surgical adjuvants is essential to the design of future research.
Objective And Rationale: While many systematic reviews have been published, most deal with singular aspects of the problem.
