The Scale of Emotional Development - Diagnostic (SEED) is a standardized diagnostic instrument based on the emotional development approach. It contributes to the diagnostic assessment of challenging behaviors in individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities. The 200-item scale determines the emotional reference age from 0-12 years in 8 domains. An expert survey showed a very good to good observability of the described behaviors, the specificity for a certain developmental phase and the appropriateness of the phrasing for children and adults while the non-differentiability to adjacent developmental phases was rated with "hardly". Regarding the differentiability, the major need for revision was described in the domains Relating to Their Own Body, Dealing with Change - Object Permanence, Differentiating Emotions and Regulating Affect and in phases 4 (reference ages: 4-7 years) and 5 (reference age: 8-12 years).

Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital Vanderbilt, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background And Objectives: With more than 1 million children in the United States living with a heart defect or condition, it is important to identify interventions that may minimise the long-term impacts of repeated medical surveillance and care. Thus, the purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine relationships between facility dog intervention and young children's anxiety during outpatient echocardiogram.
Methods: Participants were seventy children aged 18 months to 8 years undergoing echocardiogram in a paediatric cardiology clinic.

Aims: Loneliness is a common public health concern, particularly among mid- to later-life adults. However, its impact on early mortality (deaths occurring before reaching the oldest old age of 85 years) remains underexplored. This study examined the predictive role of loneliness on early mortality across different age groups using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).

Background: Making informed decisions about clinical trial participation can be overwhelming for patients due to the complexity of trial information, potential risks and benefits, and the emotional burden of a recent diagnosis. Patient decision aids (PDAs) simplify this process by providing clear information on treatment options, empowering patients to actively participate in shared decision-making with their doctors. While PDAs have shown promise in various health care contexts, their use in clinical trials, particularly in the form of trial-specific patient decision aids (tPDAs), remains underused.

Background And Objective: While whole-gland therapies for localized prostate cancer (PCa) offer excellent oncological outcomes, these can impact patients' quality of life (QoL) through serious side effects. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to preserve QoL. However, data on the psychological impact of HIFU remain rare.
