Abstract:

Disorders of sex development (DSD) are a diverse group of conditions in which there is variation from the typical chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical developmental pathway. While much has been learnt about the genetic aetiology of many of these disorders, a significant proportion of cases remain without a definitive diagnosis. This thesis consists of a series of studies designed to look at different aspects of DSD in order to identify causes and develop better ways to assess and research these conditions in the future. Chapter 1 is an extensive literature review of normal sex development, mode

Abstract:

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Once considered rare in the paediatric population, it is recognized with increasing frequency among children of all ages. Approximately 20-30% of all patients with CD present when they are younger than 20 years. With its increasing recognition, CD has become one of the most important chronic diseases that affect children and adolescents. In addition to the common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (diarrhoea, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain) children often experience growth retardation, pubertal delay, and bone demineralization. In

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is on the early caregiving environment and social interactions of preterm infants. Chapter one introduces the topic of premature delivery, including infant outcomes, parent’s caregiving role, infant’s role in their own development, and dyadic interactions between parents and their premature infants. Chapter two introduces methodological difficulties in the study of preterm infants. The chapter also provides an overview of the longitudinal study of preterm infants’ development that provided the majority of the data for this thesis. Chapter three introduces a new measure

Abstract:

Research shows that a considerable number of children and adolescents suffer needlessly from psychological problems and only about 50% of those receive the necessary services. Considering the impact of untreated child psychological problems on problems in adulthood, it is important to examine the influence of attitudes on seeking mental health service for children. Currently, no known measure exists to measure attitudes toward mental health services for children. Building on previous research, the goal of the present study was to develop a measure of individuals' attitudes toward mental health

Abstract:

Background / Aims: Maternal drug misuse in pregnancy is a significant clinical and public health problem. Consequences for the newborn infant include prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). There is increasing evidence that maternal drug misuse in pregnancy may have longer term adverse effects on infant visual and neurodevelopmental outcome. Most of the evidence regarding visual outcomes in particular derives from small uncontrolled studies with a lack of adequately powered, controlled studies to date. The visual evoked potential (VEP) can be

Abstract:

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common in children. They contribute significantly to patient morbidity, mortality and hospitalisation costs. There is limited data on the avoidability of ADRs in children and wide variation in avoidability rates has been reported. There is currently no standardised method for determining avoidability and many of the established tools are not suitable or designed for use in paediatrics. The aim of this thesis was to develop and test a new avoidability assessment tool that is suitable for use in paediatrics. The stimulus for this work was difficulty using other

Abstract:

Conflict is an inherent part of human relationships and is ubiquitous within families. These disputes are not in themselves harmful to children. Rather, it is the strategies used to resolve conflict that have a bearing on children’s health and development, notably whether family members employ aggressive or violent tactics. The study examines evidence from a sample of 161 children, selected to be representative of children living in Dublin, Ireland. It explores children’s responses to different methods of conflict resolution in two family relationships and seeks to expand the understanding of

Abstract:

Positive youth development (PYD) frameworks that guide PYD services suggest at-risk youth need to develop resiliency attitudes and resiliency skills in order to prevent long-term failure in their adult lives. This concept is based on multiple developmental theories that suggest increased levels of resiliency make it easier to navigate challenging situations. Adjudicated youth have faced a major setback in their short lives, yet they still have an opportunity to become successful and avoid additional jail time, if they are able to display a strong sense of resilience.

Abstract:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was developed by Shapiro (1989a, 2001) and was designed to facilitate the processing of distressing memories. It has since evolved into a standardised intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that utilises elements from many different treatment approaches. EMDR has generated considerable debate, perhaps due to a lack of understanding of how it works. One aspect of EMDR procedure that has remained particularly controversial is the use of eye movements.

Abstract:

My research takes a social work perspective to investigate the concept of the child with ‘additional needs'. This concept arose out of the Labour Government's programme ‘Every Child Matters' (HM Government, 2003) which proposed that children's needs for support should be picked up at an earlier point by an integrated Children's Services consisting of social care, health and education. This would stop them from ‘falling through the net' of services.

Abstract:

This research project examines resources and services to prevent families and children from entering the child welfare system in a rural town in Southern California. There is constant struggle to get the adequate services, resources and trained staff in this rural area because it is isolated and it takes about two hours’ travel time to get to the metropolitan cities. The literature review discusses child welfare services challenges, strengths and social capital to support families and children as well as the child welfare system itself in rural areas.
