Article Abstract

This study investigated knowledge of autism spectrum disorder and associated stigma among Chinese university students, utilizing the cross-culturally validated Chinese version of the Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire. A total of 2,081 students from 25 provinces participated in an online survey. Independent-samples t-tests and one-way ANOVAs revealed that female students, upper-grade students, normal-education students, special education majors, and those who had completed inclusive education courses demonstrated significantly higher levels of ASD knowledge and lower levels of stigma. Prior interactions with autistic people were also associated with greater understanding of ASD and more accepting attitudes. These findings emphasize the significance of incorporating autism-related content into both general and special education curricula, fostering high-quality interactions with autistic communities, and critically considering the types of knowledge that most effectively mitigate stigma. As inclusive education reforms progress in China, enhancing professional training and awareness of neurodiversity will be crucial for preparing future educators to establish inclusive and supportive learning environments.

Recent evidence suggests a possible association with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). However, the potential effects of both surgical and non-surgical therapeutic strategies on ET function remain poorly explored in the current literature.

This review article, developed by the EASD Global Council, addresses the growing global challenges in diabetes research and care, highlighting the rising prevalence of diabetes, the increasing complexity of its management and the need for a coordinated international response. With regard to research, disparities in funding and infrastructure between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are discussed. The under-representation of LMIC populations in clinical trials, challenges in conducting large-scale research projects, and the ethical and legal complexities of artificial intelligence integration are also considered as specific issues.

Department of Special Needs Education and Rehabilitation, Department Pedagogy and Didactics for People with Physical and Motor Development Impairments and Chronic and Progressive Illnesses, Carl von Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, Germany.

Objectives: Many studies investigate the impact of assistive devices and technologies (AD/AT) on physical outcomes. The role of AD/ATs in everyday activities and participation of children with cerebral palsy (CP) has received much less attention. This review scopes the impact of AD/ATs by the activities and participation components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model.

Objective: To review the timing of death in children with sepsis referred for intensive care, 2018-2023, and compare with our previous 2005-2011 practice. We hypothesized that most deaths occur within 24 hours of referral to the PICU, with many before PICU admission.

Design, Setting, And Patients: We reviewed referrals to the Children's Acute Transport Service (CATS), North Thames regional pediatric intensive care transport service in the United Kingdom, between January 2018 and March 2023.
