    Abstract Feeding interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus solely on the child, not the family milieu. This qualitative study aimed to understand mothers' perspectives on managing restricted eating among preschoolers with ASD. Focus groups were conducted with eleven mothers of preschoolers with ASD. Audio recordings were transcribed, and data analyzed for themes. Mothers experienced stressors balancing priorities of adequate nutrition with family mealtime demands and found solutions in support from other mothers, strategies from a wide array of sources, and resorting to trial and error to improve eating. Healthcare practitioners should explore and consider family stressors, competing demands, and coping skills when recommending mealtime interventions for optimal child and family well-being.

    Abstract Purpose: This paper presents an analysis of Head Start (HStart) preschooler data by severity of developmental concern, while considering socio-demographic and other factors that highlight racial and ethnic disparities in the early identification of developmental delay or disability (DD).
    Design and methods: We conducted an analysis of 2014-2015 academic year data for preschool-aged children in HStart in both urban and suburban centers in a large Midwestern city. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the prevalence of developmental concerns and compare characteristics of children with mild-to-moderate versus severe developmental concerns; differences between groups were compared using t-tests and chi-square tests. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the independent effect of each predictor of concern severity.
    Results: Nearly one-third of HStart preschoolers were identified with developmental concern; 70% were mild-to-moderate risk for DD and the remaining severe risk. Neither group was routinely referred to healthcare for evaluation or treatment, and most of the severe risk group did not qualify nor receive treatment for DD with an Individualized Education Plan. Suburban and urban preschoolers with severe concern were less likely to be African American or Latinx, suggesting that racially and ethnically diverse preschoolers in HStart may be under-identified and under-treated.
    Conclusions: Lags in the educational diagnosis of DD may mirror the disparities in diagnosis and treatment of DD among minority groups. Primary care is the first line for detection and treatment of DD, and offers a unique opportunity to act for racially and ethnically diverse HStart preschoolers disproportionately at-risk for DD.

    Abstract Background: In Latino(a) communities, promotores de salud (i.e., community health workers; promotores) are becoming critical participants in prevention, health promotion, and the delivery of health care. Although involving culturally diverse participants in research is a national priority, recruitment and retention of research participants from these groups is challenging. Therefore, there is an increased need to identify strategies for successful recruitment of participants from underrepresented minority backgrounds. Our overall study purpose was to gain promotores' perspectives on recruiting Latino(a) immigrant community members for an intervention study on autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The goal of this paper is to explore insider promotores' views on the barriers and facilitators to research participation in the Latino(a) community and learn strategies for recruiting Latino(a) participants in a nontraditional destination city.
    Methods: We conducted qualitative focus groups with an established group of promotores known as Latinos Unidos por la Salud (LU-Salud), who were members of a community-academic research team. Fifteen LU-Salud promotores participated in the focus groups. Focus group interviews were analyzed by using Leininger's data analysis enabler. These results will inform our partnerships with promotores and Latino(a) neighborhood agencies to increase recruitment for community-based research on promoting awareness of ASD among Latino(a) families.
    Results: Promotores were credible community members able to gain community trust and committed to improving the health and well-being of their Latino(a) community, including involving them in research. Latino(a) research involvement meant facilitating community members' engagement to overcome barriers of distrust around legal and health care systems. Challenges included legal uncertainties, language and literacy barriers, health knowledge, and economic hardship. Promotores also voiced the diversity of cultural practices (subcultures) within the Latino(a) culture that influenced: (1) research engagement, (2) guidance from promotores, (3) immersion in the Latino(a) community, and (4) health and well-being. Experienced promotores, who are living in a nontraditional migration area, believe the primary facilitator to increasing research involvement is Latino(a)-to-Latino(a) recruitment.
    Conclusions: These findings will aid in building partnerships to recruit participants for future studies that promote early recognition of ASD in the Latino(a) community.

    Abstract Purpose of review: During the past 2 years, next-generation sequencing studies have revolutionized the field of genetic association studies. We review the concomitant evolution of statistical methods.
    Recent findings: As much of the genetic variability identified with sequencing is extremely rare, many new methods have been developed for rare variant association studies. Sequencing data available as a result of large public projects are also being integrated with genome-wide association study (GWAS) chip data to improve genotype imputation. A further trend in recent methodological development has been the use of the linear mixed effect model (LMM). LMMs are used for rare variant association to handle effect heterogeneity. They are also used more generally in GWAS to account for population structure.
    Summary: Many rare variant association tests have been developed to analyze the genetic variation discovered with large-scale DNA sequencing; however, no single approach outperforms others under all disease models and power tends to be low. Sequencing data are also contributing to improved imputation of uncommon genetic variants, although imputation of rare variants remains a challenge. The appropriate correction for population structure in rare variant analyses remains unclear; specialized adjustment techniques may be necessary.

    Abstract Background: Preterm infants have known impairments in language development relative to infants born at full term, and the language-poor environment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a contributing factor. Adapting outpatient literacy programs for the NICU is a potential evidence-based intervention to encourage adult speech exposure to infants through reading sessions during NICU hospitalization.
    Purpose: To evaluate implementation of a 10-day NICU Read-a-Thon and potential barriers and facilitators of a year-round program aimed at increasing reading sessions for NICU patients.
    Methods: We established an implementation team to execute a Read-a-Thon and evaluated its impact utilizing quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative methodology was used to report number of donated books and infant reading sessions. Qualitative methodology inclusive of interviews, surveys, and source document reviews was used to evaluate the Read-a-Thon.
    Results: We received approximately 1300 donated books and logged 663 reading sessions over the 10-day Read-a-Thon. Qualitative evaluation of the Read-a-Thon identified 6 main themes: motivation, emotional response to the program, benefits and outcomes, barriers, facilitators, and future of literacy promotion in our NICU. Our evaluation informed specific aims for improvement (eg, maintaining book accessibility) for a quality improvement initiative to sustain a year-round reading program.
    Implications for practice and research: Neonatal units can leverage Read-a-Thons as small tests of change to evaluate barriers, facilitators, and change processes needed to implement reading programs. Process maps of book inventory and conducting a 5 W's, 2 H's (who, what, when, where, why, how, how much) assessment can aid in program planning.

    Abstract Purpose: This work reports long-term outcomes in macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) with subretinal neovascularization (SRNV).
    Methods: A retrospective, single-center review of medical records was performed on all patients with a diagnosis of MacTel presenting between May 2004 and October 2019. Medical and ocular history, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at baseline and final visit, optical coherence tomography data, and treatment history of SRNV secondary to MacTel were recorded.
    Results: A total of 471 eyes were diagnosed with MacTel. SRNV was present in 44 eyes (9.3%), of which 38 eyes met inclusion criteria for SRNV. Average follow-up duration in the SRNV group was 78.4 months. All SRNV patients underwent antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. There was no significant change from mean baseline (0.59 ± 0.45) to final (0.70 ± 0.49) BCVA in the SRNV group as a whole (
    Conclusions: Visual acuity is maintained, not improved, in long-term follow-up of MacTel with SRNV treated with anti-VEGF. Patients presenting with SRNV have a worse prognosis than those who develop SRNV during follow-up.

    Abstract Introduction: The number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is rising, along with the potential for challenging behaviors during health care encounters.
    Method: We present an overview of the emerging science related to ASD diagnosis and interventions for children with ASD.
    Results: Emerging science on ASD reveals common associated challenging behaviors, increasing prevalence, emphasis on early diagnosis at 18 to 24 months of age, changes in the diagnostic process with criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, and interventions with medication, education, and behavior management.
    Discussion: Family and health care provider preparation strategies facilitate care of children with ASD and their families. Early diagnosis at 18 to 24 months of age and evidence-based interventions contribute to best outcomes for children and families. Health care providers must be aware of the state of the science for diagnosis and best practices to provide family-centered care for this growing population.

    Abstract This case report discusses Type I hypersensitivity in ferrets following exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) inoculum, observed during a study investigating the efficacy of candidate COVID-19 vaccines. Following a comprehensive internal root-cause investigation, it was hypothesized that prior prime-boost immunization of ferrets with a commercial canine C3 vaccine to protect against the canine distemper virus had resulted in primary immune response to fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the C3 preparation. Upon intranasal exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus cultured in medium containing FBS, an allergic airway response occurred in 6 out of 56 of the ferrets. The 6 impacted ferrets were randomly dispersed across study groups, including different COVID-19 vaccine candidates, routes of vaccine candidate administration, and controls (placebo). The root-cause investigation and subsequent analysis determined that the allergic reaction was unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine candidates under evaluation. Histological assessment suggested that the allergic response was characterized by eosinophilic airway disease; increased serum immunoglobulin levels reactive to FBS further suggested this response was caused by immune priming to FBS present in the C3 vaccine. This was further supported by in vivo studies demonstrating ferrets administered diluted FBS also presented clinical signs consistent with a hyperallergic response, while clinical signs were absent in ferrets that received a serum-free SARS-CoV-2 inoculum. It is therefore recommended that vaccine studies in higher order animals should consider the impact of welfare vaccination and use serum-free inoculum whenever possible.
