Abstract

The present study was aimed to compare chewing performance level and feeding behaviors of children with autism to their typically developing peers. A total of 56 children (37 children with autism, 19 typically developing children) participated in the study. Feeding-related characteristics and observational oral-motor characteristics of children were recorded. The Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS) was used to assess chewing performance level, the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) was used to assess feeding behaviors of children, and the Turkish version of the Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (T-FS-IS) was used to evaluate the effect of the child’s feeding and swallowing problem on their parents. Results showed that transition time to solid food intake for children with autism was later than typically developing children (p = 0.014), and they had more tongue thrusting (p = 0.009). There were differences between groups in terms of KCPS (p = 0.002), BPFAS (Total frequency score, p = 0.008; Child frequency score, p = 0.017; Parent frequency score, p = 0.021; Restriction score, p = 0.004), and T-FS-IS (Daily activities, p = 0.004; Worry, p = 009; Feeding difficulties, p = 0.031; Total score, p = 0.001). The present study shows that children with autism had worse chewing function and worse mealtime functioning compared to typically developing children. Their parents perceived mealtime behavior as more problematic, and parents’ quality of life related to feeding/swallowing disorders was worse compared to parents of typically developing children. The study results reveal the importance of early assessment and intervention of chewing function and feeding behaviors in children with autism.

Zwanghaftes Nasenbohren: Op. lohnt sich bei Septumdefekt

Bei einer Perforation der Nasenscheidewand aufgrund von zwanghaftem Nasenbohren liefert eine chirurgische Reparatur oft gute Ergebnisse: Erneute Septumdefekte durch fortgeführte Rhinotillexomanie sind selten.

BPLS: Wer sollte nach einer Woche wieder einbestellt werden?

Retrospektive Daten aus einem türkischen Behandlungszentrum liefern Hinweise darauf, wem man nach einer Diagnose von benignem paroxysmalem Lagerungsschwindel (BPLS) eine Wiedervorstellung nach einer Woche empfehlen sollte.

Das deutsche Gesundheitssystem kränkelt und hat Fieber

OECD und Europäische Kommission haben zusammen einen Bericht zum Zustand der europäischen Gesundheitssysteme herausgegeben. Diagnose für Deutschland: Wäre das Land ein menschliches Wesen, würde man es wohl krankschreiben.

Topische Tranexamsäure hilfreich gegen Nasenbluten

Mit topischer Tranexamsäure lässt sich eine vordere Epistaxis oft ähnlich gut stillen wie mit einer Tamponade. Dafür sprechen die Resultate von vier aktuellen Studien sowie einer Metaanalyse.
