Abstract

Several studies have previously investigated the effects of sticky mittens training on reaching and grasping development. However, recent critique casted doubts on the robustness of the motor effect of this training. The current study presents a pre-registered report that aimed to generalize these effects to Swedish infants. Three-month-old infants N = 96, 51 females, mostly White middle class in Uppsala, received daily, parent-led sticky mittens or observational training for 2 weeks or no training in 2019. Reaching and grasping abilities were assessed before and after training, using motion tracking and a 4-step reaching task. Sticky mittens training did not facilitate successful reaching. These results indicate that beneficial motor effects of sticky mittens training did not generalize to this sample.

Abstract

Fontan circulation is a highly abnormal circulatory state that may affect various organ systems. The effect on body composition is an important factor to assess the condition of the patient. This systematic review assesses body composition and possibly related adverse outcomes in patients with a Fontan circulation, to provide an overview of current insights. Studies evaluating body composition by compartment (either fat mass or lean/muscle mass) in Fontan patients published up to April 2023 were included in this systematic review. Of 1392 potential studies, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. In total, body composition measurements of 774 Fontan patients were included. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (n = 12), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) (n = 5), computer tomography (CT) (n = 1), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (n = 1). All studies reported a normal body mass index (BMI) in Fontan patients, compared to controls. Five out of nine studies reported significantly higher body fat values, and twelve out of fifteen studies reported significantly lower muscle or lean mass values in the Fontan population compared to the healthy population. Unfavorable body composition in Fontan patients was associated with decreased exercise capacity, worse cardiac function, and adverse outcomes including hospital admissions and death. Conclusions: Despite having a normal BMI, Fontan patients have an increased fat mass and decreased muscle mass or lean mass compared to the healthy population. This unfavorable body composition was associated with various adverse outcomes, including a decreased exercise capacity and worse cardiac function. What is Known: • Patients with a Fontan circulation have a decreased exercise capacity compared to healthy peers, an unfavorable body composition might be a contributor to their impaired exercise capacity. What is New: • Fontan patients are predisposed to an unfavorable body composition, charact

Abstract

Introduction: The aims of this study were to provide an overview of the cardiac stress response in Fontan patients and of the use, safety and clinical value of stress imaging in Fontan patients. Methods: Studies evaluating cardiac function using stress imaging in Fontan patients published up until 12 December 2021 were included in this review. Results: From 1603 potential studies, 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. In total, stress imaging tests of 728 Fontan patients were included. Cardiac function was most often measured using physical stress (61%), all other studies used dobutamine-induced stress. Stroke volume (SV) increased in most studies (71%), mean SV at rest ranged from 27 mL/m2 to 60 mL/m2 versus 27 mL/m2 to 101 mL/m2 during stress, and increased with an average of 4%. Ejection fraction increased in almost all studies, whereas both end-systolic volume and end-diastolic volume decreased during stress. Higher heart rates were obtained with physical stress (82–180) compared to dobutamine induced stress (73–128). Compared to controls, increases in heartrate and SV were lower and end-diastolic volume decreased abnormally in 75% of reporting studies. No major adverse events were reported. Poorer cardiac stress response was related to decreased exercise capacity and higher risk for long-term (adverse) outcomes in Fontan patients. Discussion: Cardiac stress response in Fontan patients differs from healthy subjects, reflected by lower increases in heart rate, diminished preload and decreased cardiac output, especially during higher levels of exercise. Stress imaging is safe, however the added clinical value needs to be investigated in more detail.

Abstract

Several studies have demonstrated that adults in interdependent cultures have holistic attentional viewing strategies, whereby the background of scenes are inspected. This is in contrast to independent cultures where adults have analytic attentional viewing strategies, whereby the focal objects in scenes are subject to inspection (Čeněk, Tsai, & Šašinka, 2020). Among children, similar divisions have been found although it is less clear at what age these strategies can be observed. Children aged 4 to 9 years were found to focus more on focal objects in the foreground if they grew up in Germany, while children of the same age that grew up in Japan did not show this behaviour (Jurkat et al., 2023). Similar results have been observed in other studies investigating children from interdependent countries and children from independent countries (Imada et al., 2013).This context sensitivity has been suggested to increase as children grow older (Imada et al., 2013). This development has been suggested to emerge from parental styles that influence attentional viewing strategies. Parents in interdependent countries focus on relational aspects of scenes or play with their child, while parents in independent countries focus on focal objects (Senzaki & Shimuzu, 2020). If children as young as 4 years already exhibit these strategies (Jurkat et al., 2023; Imada et al., 2013; Kuwabara & Smith, 2016), one may ask if children show this behaviour even before this age. Given that infants are able to follow the gaze of their parent in infancy (Bianco et al., 2019), parents may be transferring viewing strategies onto their infants from a young age. Not many studies exist that have investigated the emergence of holistic and analytic viewing in infancy between cultures. In studies comparing infants, aged 6 to 24 months, from the USA and Japan, it was found that there were no differences in attentional viewing strategies, although the differences may start emerging around 24 months (Tsurumi et al., 2018; Waxman et al., 2016). More studies are needed in order to examine viewing strategies between interdependent and independent cultures. The current study will aim to contribute to efforts trying to map how these strategies develop during childhood. Moreover, previous studies have been criticized due to their focus on comparisons of USA participants and Japanese or Chinese participants. There may be interdependent cultures that show different viewing strategies during infancy than what has been found until now.

31. Reaching for Excellence? : Does training improve motor abilities and cause cascading effects in the visual attention and social perception domain?

Author

van den Berg, Linda and van den Berg, Linda

Abstract

claimed in the last 20 years. Being able to reach for objects provides infants with an interactive interface with their environment. After reach onset, objects can be explored closer to the face and manipulated. Social perception abilities and visual attention have both been found to relate to motor development. We can observe successful reaching and grasping between the ages of 4 and 6 months of age. Research has proposed that these abilities can be observed sooner if infants take part in a reaching training. The sticky mittens training has been put forward as a training that can help infants reach before they would normally start reaching. Moreover, the training has been suggested to increase social perception and visual attention. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to examine whether this training affects infant abilities in these three domains (motor, social perception, and visual attention) at the age of 3 months and 10 months. In this thesis, three studies are presented. Study I described the sticky mittens field and gave an overview of what we currently know about the training’s effects. Study II examined whether the sticky mittens training affects the emergence of reaching and grasping using the original task from the sticky mittens literature and a new task. Study III examined whether the sticky mittens training affected social perception and visual attention abilities. The main results in Study I were that the sticky mittens effects are inconsistent in the motor domain and visual attention domain. However, the effects seemed robust in the social perception domain. In Study II, the main results were that the training was unable to improve reaching and grasping, as indicated by the lack of reaching and grasping in the original and new tasks. In Study III, it was found that the training did not affect social perception and visual attention. In conclusion, the training did not work in the current sample. However, there is not enough evidence to conclude tha

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging during supine exercise at (sub)maximal oxygen consumption (VO2) offers unique diagnostic insights. However, maximal VO2 is not achievable in the supine position and standardizing submaximal exercise intensities remains challenging. Using heart rate or workload could be a viable option to translate VO2‐based submaximal exercise intensities. Aim: To translate submaximal exercise intensities upright cycling exercise (UCE) to supine push–pull exercise (SPPE), by comparing heart rate or workload determined during UCE, with heart rate and workload during SPPE at similar exercise intensities. Methods and Results: Sixteen healthy young adults (20.4 ± 2.2 years; 8 female) underwent cardiopulmonary UCE and SPPE testing [mean ± standard deviation maximal VO2: 3.2 ± 0.6 vs. 5 ± 0.3 L min−1, p < 0.001 and median (interquartile range) of the maximum workload: 310 (244, 361) vs. 98 (98, 100), p < 0.001, respectively]. Heart rate at 40% and 60% of maximal VO2, as determined by UCE, showed low bias (−3 and 0 bpm, respectively) and wide limits of agreement (±26 and ±28 bpm, respectively), in Bland–Altman analysis. VO2/Workload relation was exponential and less efficient during SPPE compared to UCE. Generalized estimated equation analysis predicted model‐based mean workload during SPPE, with acceptable 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: Heart rate during UCE at submaximal exercise intensities can reasonably well be used to for SPPE in healthy subjects. Using workload, an ergometer specific, model‐based mean can be used to determine exercise intensities during SPPE. Individual variations in response to posture and movement change are high. During clinical interpretation of exercise CMR, individual exercise intensity has to be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
