Article Abstract
Background: Allergic reactions to beta-lactam antibiotics (βLs) can fade over time, the length of which depends on the effector mechanism and the culprit drug. Most studies investigating this subject included people with immediate reactions (IRs). There is little evidence on (T-cell dependent) non-immediate reactions (NIRs), particularly in children.
Methods: We used drug provocation tests (DPT) to evaluate children with suspected allergies to βLs. Reactions were classified as IR or NIR. Previously evaluated children with confirmed NIRs to amoxicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate were offered a 5-year follow-up DPT to assess loss of sensitivity. We compared children who tolerated the drug and those who were still allergic on rechallenge according to the age of appearance of reactions, sex, and atopic status.
Results: Of 665 children evaluated, 80 (12%) were confirmed as allergic: 54 NIRs (68%) and 26 IRs (32%). Regarding the type of rash, 59% had urticaria and 41% exanthem. Of the children with NIRs, 34 completed the study (62% female, 60% atopic). In the rechallenge, 50% showed tolerance. Among the children who had a reaction, 9 had urticaria and 8 exanthem. The children who showed tolerance were significantly younger than those who remained positive (p < .05). Among these children, 15 reported taking the same drug again, prescribed by their pediatrician, with good tolerance.
Conclusion: T cell responses to βLs can subside. Children who experience NIRs to amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanate can develop tolerance.

Quantifying evidence for phenotypic specificity (PP4) for syndromic phenotypes: Large-scale integration of rare germline FH variants from diagnostic laboratory testing for HLRCC (Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer) and renal cancer.

Purpose: Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) is a rare cancer susceptibility syndrome exclusively attributable to pathogenic variants in FH (HGNC:3700). This paper quantitatively weights the phenotypic context (PP4/PS4) of such very rare variants in FH.
Methods: We collated clinical diagnostic testing data on germline FH variants from 387 individuals with HLRCC and 1,780 individuals with renal cancer, and compared the frequency of 'very rare' variants in each phenotypic cohort against 562,295 population controls.
Functional Connectivity of Hippocampal Circuits and Visual Memory Function in Children and Adolescents With Perinatal Stroke.

Perinatal stroke is a vascular injury occurring early in life, often resulting in motor deficits (hemiplegic cerebral palsy/HCP). Comorbidities may also include poor neuropsychological outcomes, such as deficits in memory. Previous studies have used resting state functional MRI (fMRI) to demonstrate that functional connectivity (FC) within hippocampal circuits is associated with memory function in typically developing controls (TDC) and in adults after stroke, but this is unexplored in perinatal stroke.

Acting intentionally is a major aspect of human cognitive development and depends on the ability to link actions with their consequences. Action-effect binding (AEB) is a fundamental mechanism enabling this. While AEB has been well-characterized in adults, its neurophysiological underpinnings during adolescence remain unclear.

Background: Health awareness is an important factor in preventive health and healthy lifestyles of children and adolescents with an intellectual disability. The research objective is therefore to explore the perspective of people with intellectual disability regarding their health-related experiences and the meanings they assign to health.
Methods: Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) as a methodological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 students between the ages of 13 and 19.

Promenta Research Centre, Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
Aims: This study aims to assess the effectiveness and implementation of the 5Ways@School curriculum-based intervention in Norwegian schools. The intervention builds on the Five Ways to Wellbeing framework, and promotes five action domains: connect with others, be physically active, take notice, keep learning, and give. The study objectives include assessing the intervention's acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, and cost, as well as its impact on students' wellbeing and mental health.
