Abstract:
Abstract The survival of young children with sickle cell disease (SCD) has improved, but less is known about older children and adolescents. We studied the Dallas Newborn Cohort (DNC) to estimate contemporary 18-year survival for newborns with SCD and document changes in the causes and ages of death over time. We also explored whether improvements in the quality of medical care were temporally associated with survival. The DNC now includes 940 subjects with 8857 patient-years of follow-up. Most children with sickle cell anemia (93.9%) and nearly all children with milder forms of SCD (98.4%) now live to become adults. The incidence of death and the pattern of mortality changed over the duration of the cohort. Sepsis is no longer the leading cause of death. All the recent deaths in the cohort occurred in patients 18 years or older, most shortly after the transition to adult care. Quality of care in the DNC has improved over time, with significantly more timely initial visits and preventive interventions for young children. In summary, most children with SCD now survive the childhood years, but young adults who transition to adult medical care are at high risk for early death.

Abstract:
Background: Sudden unexplained death is a significant cause of mortality in people with epilepsy. Risk factors that have been identified include male sex, poor compliance with medications, and antiepileptic drug (AED) polypharmacy. However, these may not apply to the pediatric population in which the causes of epilepsy differ from the adult population. Therefore, risk factors for sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in children must be evaluated independently from those in the adult population.Methods: Cases of SUDEP in children less than 18 years of age occurring over a 10-year period in the province of Ontario, Canada, were identified. Records were reviewed for demographic and clinical features and neuropathology findings.Results: Twenty-seven cases of SUDEP in children were identified. Sixty-three percent were male. Age at death ranged from 8 months to 15 years. Fourteen children had symptomatic epilepsy (52%), five had cryptogenic epilepsy (18%), and eight had idiopathic epilepsy (30%). Twelve children were treated with one AED (46%), 10 were on two AED (38%), and three were on three AED (12%). At the time of death, seven children had one serum AED concentration below the therapeutic range (35%) and 12 children had AED levels within the therapeutic range (60%).Conclusions: This case series represents the largest series of sudden unexplained death in children with epilepsy. At least two previously described risk factors for SUDEP in adults, low serum AED levels at time of death and AED polytherapy, do not appear to be significant in children.

Abstract:
This article explores ways in which siblings and child friends are represented as being involved in death and loss experiences. These representations are taken from 51 selected examples of death-related literature designed to be read by or with children. The main goal is to ask how these youngsters respond when confronted by the death of a sibling or child friend. How do they act when they are on their own, with each other, or with adults? This is important because these representations of children coping with death-related situations can serve as partial role models for the youngsters who read these books, either on their own or with a companion adult. And when adults are involved in reading, discussing, or examining books of this type, they can gain some insights into the world of children as portrayed by these authors, insights that adult readers might not otherwise have had, insights about how children respond to death-related situations, what they need, and how they might be helped.

Abstract:
In the grief and bereavement literature, the discussion of acceptance often regards it as an end-point of the process and utilizes a definition that is linked to duration and intensity of grief. The study of parent death is no exception. Adult children are rarely asked whether or why they have or have not accepted the death of an elderly parent, or even what acceptance means to them. The extent to which such studies accurately report on the experience of parent death acceptance is questionable. Using ethnographic and linguistic techniques, this study approaches acceptance through a qualitative examination of adult children's verbatim responses to direct inquiries about their acceptance of an elderly parent's death. Findings indicate that while the majority of adult children readily assert acceptance of their parent's death, these assertions are contingent upon important beliefs and values relating to the death, the power of feelings, and the strength of memory. Further, and most important, acceptance appears to be a phenomenon adult children feel compelled to explain.

Abstract:
Parents who lose adult children in traffic accidents are different from parents who lose adult children from cancer. Accident parents tend to be middle-aged and their children young adults at the time of death. They also tend to have more psychiatric distress and more health complaints than cancer parents. Cancer parents are usually older with children who are middle aged at the time of death, and these parents tend to experience the loss less painfully. Two factors explain a high percentage of differences between the groups. These are: 1) older age of children at the time of death; and 2) less intense expression of grief. The relationship between parent and child changes at different stages over the life cycle. Thus, accident parents tend to be more attached to their children than cancer parents, and this can account for differences between the groups. The circumstances of death also determine the different responses. Sudden loss of young adult children in traffic accidents appears to be more distressing. These findings have important implications for prevention.

Abstract:
Many of the most dangerous products killing and injuring children are not toys – they are adult products. Of the 150,000 products regulated by the CPSC, ATVs are responsible for more child deaths annually than any other. In many cases, the children injured or killed were riding adult ATVs. Products inside the home are also responsible for deaths and serious injuries. Dressers and televisions tip over and kill children at a rate of one every two weeks. Window covering cords have strangled at least one child every month for decades. And button batteries found in everything from remote control devices to bathroom scales are ingested by infants and young children, causing serious injuries and death. Finally, cell phone use by children has opened up a wide range of serious risks - not only driving and pedestrian accidents, but also risks associated with exposure to strangers and unsafe products. In this alternative format panel, experts address each of these products and explore how risk perception – by parents and children – affects their behavior and exposure to the hazard. Limitations of voluntary and mandatory regulations to mitigate product hazards are also discussed.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were to investigate how families prepared children for the death of a significant adult, and how health and social care professionals provided psychosocial support to families about a relative’s death during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/settingA mixed methods design; an observational survey with health and social care professionals and relatives bereaved during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, and in-depth interviews with bereaved relatives and professionals were conducted. Data were analysed thematically.ParticipantsA total of 623 participants completed the survey and interviews were conducted with 19 bereaved relatives and 16 professionals.ResultsMany children were not prepared for a death of an important adult during the pandemic. Obstacles to preparing children included families’ lack of understanding about their relative’s declining health; parental belief that not telling children was protecting them from becoming upset; and parents’ uncertainty about how best to prepare their children for the death. Only 10.2% (n=11) of relatives reported professionals asked them about their deceased relative’s relationships with children. This contrasts with 68.5% (n=72) of professionals who reported that the healthcare team asked about patient’s relationships with children. Professionals did not provide families with psychosocial support to facilitate preparation, and resources were less available or inappropriate for families during the pandemic. Three themes were identified: (1) obstacles to telling children a significant adult is going to die, (2) professionals’ role in helping families to prepare children for the death of a significant adult during the pandemic, and (3) how families prepare children for the death of a significant adult.ConclusionsProfessionals need to: provide clear and honest communication about a poor prognosis; start a conversation with families about the dying patient’s significant relationships with children; and reassure families that telling children someone close to them is dying is beneficial for their longer term psychological adjustment.

Abstract:
We explored parents’ views of the trajectories of their adult children’s eventual deaths from drugs with in-depth qualitative interviews from 11 bereaved parents. Parents reported great emotional distress and high financial burdens as their children went through death spirals of increasing drug involvements. These deaths often entailed anxiety-inducing interactions with police or medical personnel, subsequent difficulties with sharing death cause information with socially significant others, and longer term problems from routine interactions. Eventually, though, many of these longer term bereaved parents reported overcoming these obstacles and developing posttraumatic growth. Openly disclosing the nature of the death seemed to be an important building block for their healing.

Abstract:
The death of a child is a traumatic, nonnormative family life event. Although parental bereavement has received substantial attention, little research has focused on extended family members affected by a child's death, and still less on how multiple family members perceive and respond to one another following the loss. Guided by a life course perspective, this article examines social support between grandparents and their adult children in the aftermath of infant death. Through structured, open-ended interviews, 21 grandparents and 19 parents from 10 families described how they provided support to and received support from their intergenerational partners. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Six categories of support were identified: being present, acknowledgment, performing immediate tasks, information, unskilled support, and no support. Most support was provided by grandparents to adult children rather than from adult children to grandparents. All families reported significant support from at least one grandparent and nearly all families described ambivalent relationships that complicated support. Gender, family lineage, and family history were major influences. Multiple family perspectives about a significant life event contribute to our understanding about the intersection between individual and family life.

Abstract:
Survival after acute paediatric (0–14 years), adolescent (15–19 years) and young adult (20–39 years) leukaemia has improved substantially over the last five decades, particularly for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute promyelocytic leukaemia, a subtype of acute myeloid leukaemia. This progress represents one of the most successful achievements in the history of medicine and has been attributed to the development of effective chemotherapy regimens, improvement in supportive care, better risk stratification, use of targeted therapies, and advances in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Currently, long-term survival for children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is 80%–90% in developed countries. Strikingly, survival among adolescents and young adults with this disease is about 60% and 40% respectively. In addition, in these countries, 5-year survival for young patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (excluding acute promyelocytic leukaemia) remains approximately 60% in the modern era of treatment. This project aimed to evaluate how survival and, when appropriate, early death (death occurring within 30 days of diagnosis) after acute leukaemia varied during almost 25 years in California, the most populous and racially/ethnically diverse state in the United States (US). A second aim was to investigate the association between sociodemographic and selected clinical factors and outcomes. Using high-quality data from the California Cancer Registry, I evaluated survival trends from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia among patients aged 0–19 years, and survival and early death trends after acute myeloid leukaemia among patients aged 0–39 years. I also investigated whether early death has decreased among young patients after the approval by the US Food and Drug Administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukaemia. The overall results of this thesis showed improvement in survival over time for all age groups and subtypes of leukaemia. Early death after acute promyelocytic and myeloid leukaemias declined during the study period. However, these outcomes varied widely by age at diagnosis and were associated with sociodemographic and clinical factors. Racial/ethnical survival inequalities were identified and found to persist even after adjustment for other covariates. These inequalities were more marked among patients of Hispanic (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) and black race/ethnicity (for acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukaemias). Patients living in lower socioeconomic neighbourhoods had worse survival than those living in higher socioeconomic neighbourhoods (for acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukaemias). Early death and worse survival were associated with initial care at hospitals not affiliated with National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centres (for acute myeloid leukaemia) and lack of health insurance (for acute myeloid and promyelocytic leukaemias). Intriguingly, over the 25-year study period, adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia continued to have worse survival than children. These results suggest that lack of timely access to treatment and suboptimal care have influenced outcome among vulnerable patients. In conclusion, survival and early death after acute leukaemia has greatly improved among young patients in California. However, inequalities in outcomes remain and are likely a result of multiple factors. My studies highlight the importance of population-based data to reveal the actual burden of the disease in this population and help clinicians, policy makers, government, and researchers better understand the predictors of outcomes. I expect my work to contribute to the development of strategies aimed at improving survival from acute leukaemia, especially among vulnerable and disadvantaged patients.

Abstract:
In this series of five questionnaire studies, an investigation was made into the kinds of fears and other feelings that adults had about dying, death, and grief. In the first two studies this was looked at in a general sense; then in the three subsequent studies the adult's loss of parents was specifically considered. In the first two studies it was found that subjects most feared the physical deterioration and pain of dying, particularly in relation to cancer; female subjects were more anxious than males about the death of others, and expected to feel a deeper sense of loss. When the next two studies were carried out, a fairly close parallel emerged between the ways in which the non-bereaved subjects anticipated feeling when their parents died, and the ways in which those who had already lost parents reported having felt; both at the time of the loss and later. Both sexes anticipated and experienced feeling more intense grief when the first parent died than when the second one did, whichever parent had been the first to die. The timeliness or untimeliness of the parental death was examined in the final questionnaire study. It was found that if the parent had died an untimely, early, death, while the subject was still in early adulthood, the grief reactions were initially more intense, and continued to be experienced at a higher intensity two or more years after the loss than was the case where a more timely death had occurred. These studies have put forward some evidence to show that the loss of parents in adult life constitutes a more important bereavement than was previously realised.

Abstract:
Research has shown that young children have some understandings of death. However, adults are hesitant (or even avoidant) to discuss death with young children for fear that they will scare them, or they are not sure what to tell them. Sessions were part of this project, educating adults in a child’s development and how that development affects what young children understand about death. The three sessions, completed over two weeks, included three topics including anxieties the adult may have about death, cognitive and emotional development of the young child, and the adult’s role in discussing death with young children. Participants completed a pre- and post-test. Results indicated that adults felt more comfortable discussing the death of a person with a young child, as well as feeling less avoidant of having those discussions.

Abstract:
Since 1996 the NHTSA has warned of the airbag deployment injury risk to front seated children and infants, during frontal impact, and they have recommended that children be placed in the rear seating areas of motor vehicles. However, during most rear impacts the adult occupied front seats will collapse into the rear occupant area and, as such, pose another potentially serious injury risk to the rear seated children and infants who are located on rear seats that are not likely to collapse. Also, in the case of higher speed rear impacts, intrusion of the occupant compartment may cause the child to be shoved forward into the rearward collapsing front seat occupant thereby increasing impact forces to the trapped child. This study summarizes the results of more than a dozen actual accident cases involving over 2-dozen rear-seated children, where 7 children received fatal injuries, and the others received injuries ranging from severely disabling to minor injury. Types of injuries include, among others: crushed skulls and brain damage; ruptured hearts; broken and bruised legs; and death by post-crash fires when the children became entrapped behind collapsed front seat systems. Several rear-impact crash tests, utilizing sled-bucks and vehicle-to-vehicle tests, are used to examine the effects of front seat strength and various types of child restraint systems, such as booster seats and child restraint seats (both forward and rearward facing), in relation to injury potential of rear seated children and infants. The tests utilized sedan and minivan type vehicles that were subjected to speed changes ranging from about 20 to 50 kph (12 to 30 mph), with an average G level per speed change of about 9 to 15. The results indicate that children and infants seated behind a collapsing driver seat, even in low severity rear impacts of less than 25 kph, encounter a high risk of serious or fatal injury, whether or not rear intrusion takes place. Children seated in other rear seat positions away from significant front seat collapse, such as behind the stronger “belt-integrated” types of front seats or rearward but in between occupied collapsing front seat positions, are less likely to be as seriously injured.

Abstract:
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), also called blue-baby syndrome is one of the most common congenital heart defects in children after infancy and is estimated to account for 10% of all congenital heart defects [3]. TOF consists of four interrelated lesions: i) ventricular septal defect ii) Pulmonary stenosis iii) Right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and (iv) Overriding Aorta [3]. TOF has been successfully repaired for several decades (Fig. 1). There are now an estimated 100,000 adult “repaired TOF” patients in the United States alone. As a result, long-term sequelae of the disease and repair have become important clinical issue. Specifically, residual pulmonary valve insufficiency (PI) is one such accepted and often unavoidable sequela. PI, when severe, abnormally alters the RV loading conditions, thereby triggering RV hypertrophy and dilatation. In turn, RV dilatation can evolve into irreversible RV myocardial contractile dysfunction, and has been related to sudden death in many “repaired TOF” patients. To normalize RV loading conditions, pulmonary valve replacement is often necessary and should be performed prior to the onset of irreversible RV myocardial damage.

Abstract:
Malignant tumors of the central nervous system are the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in adolescents and adults between the ages of 15 and 34; in children, brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer death. Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) has emerged as a promising method for the transport of high concentrations of chemotherapeutic macromolecules to brain tumors. CED is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure wherein a stereotactically-guided small-caliber catheter is inserted into the brain parenchyma, to a tumor site, for low flowrate infusion of chemotherapy [1]. This direct-delivery method bypasses obstacles to systemic chemotherapy caused by the selective impermeability of the blood-brain barrier. Although preliminary studies were favorable, CED recently failed Phase III FDA trials because clinical goals for tumor regression were not met [2]. This was primarily attributed to insufficient diffuse delivery of the drug throughout tumor masses and their surrounding margins.

Abstract:
In the United States, approximately 44 children under the age of five years old drown each year after gaining unauthorized access to above-ground pools via pool ladders. Approximately 704 additional children sustain submersion-related injuries after gaining unauthorized access to above-ground pools via pool ladders. In many cases, these events occurred during brief lapses of adult supervision. The societal cost associated with these deaths and injuries ranges from 134 to 342 million dollars per year. In addition to societal costs, there is also a significant loss in quality of life for near-drowning victims and their families. Since the 1960’s, several medical studies have been published that discuss children under the age of five accessing above-ground pools and drowning. Several of these medical studies propose solutions to reduce the likelihood of drowning. Despite the proposed solutions in these studies, the rate of such drownings in above-ground pools has not decreased. However, the medical studies do not address how proper and safe engineering design of pool ladders can and should be used to prevent such occurrences. This paper adds engineering science to these medical studies by including safety engineering principles that can be used to prevent young children from gaining unauthorized access to above-ground pools via pool ladders. Specifically, this paper addresses, hazard and risk assessment, passive safety systems that can be added to pool ladders to prevent drowning incidences, and the economic and technological feasibility of such passive safety systems. This paper shows that the benefits associated with the reduction in societal costs of drowning or near-drowning outweigh the cost of adding passive safety systems to pool ladders.

Abstract:
Health is considered to be a crucial factor of regional development and competitiveness. The main goal of the article is to evaluate selected public health factors in economically problematic areas in the Czech Republic in the years 2007 and 2016. A total of 14 indicators in four thematic areas were selected: 1) mortality structure (mortality from circulatory, respiratory and digestive system diseases, neoplasms and external causes), 2) sickness rate (average time of incapacity for work, hospitalized and treated diabetics), 3) reproduction health (total fertility, spontaneous abortion and infant mortality) and 4) medical intervention (the proportion of physicians, general practitioners for adults and general practitioners for children and adolescents). A composite indicator for year 2007 and 2016 was established in each area and each district. The highest value of the indicators sum was proved in Znojmo district, on the other hand, the least favourable situation was detected in the district of Teplice. In districts, where a lower values of indicator was determined, a high accrual in treated diabetics dominates, and most of the districts also show growth in death from circulatory system diseases. The results proved, that it is necessary to pay attention to public health factors not only in its complexity, but also on the basis of component indicators, which can significantly influence the health quality.

Abstract:
Obesity is now replacing undernutrition and infectious diseases as the leading cause of ill health. It is considered as one of the greatest medical challenges to health in the United States; over 65% of American adults are either overweight or obese leading to 320,000 deaths each year in the United States (Kopelman, 2005). The annual medical costs of obesity in the United States are enormous (Bhattacharya and Bundorf, 2009). Globally, according to the World Health Organization, there are more than one billion overweight adults, of which at least 300 million are clinically obese. A recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2003–2006) has showed that for children aged 6–11 years and 12–19 years, the prevalence of overweight was 17.0% and 17.6%, respectively.
