Le présent document de principes aidera les dispensateurs de soins à évaluer l'alphabétisation précoce dans les familles et à leur donner des conseils, et ce, dans presque tous les contextes d'exercice. On y définit les habiletés d'alphabétisation émergente, y compris l'apprentissage précoce du langage et des récits oraux, et on y explore les bienfaits de la lecture, de la parole et de la chanson auprès des nourrissons et des tout-petits, tant pour eux que pour les adultes qui en sont responsables. La lecture partagée au coucher et d'autres habitudes liées au langage ont un effet positif sur la santé familiale, relationnelle et socioaffective. L'exposition précoce à la langue parlée à la maison peut contribuer à l'alphabétisation dans les autres langues auxquelles l'enfant pourrait être exposé. On y trouve enfin des recommandations particulières pour les cliniciens qui conseillent les familles en matière d'alphabétisation précoce.Le syndrome d'entérocolite induite par les protéines alimentaires et la proctocolite allergique induite par les protéines alimentaires sont les principaux types d'allergies alimentaires non induites par les immunoglobines E. Le syndrome d'entérocolite induit par les protéines alimentaires se manifeste par des vomissements réfractaires tardifs, tandis que la proctocolite allergique induite par les protéines alimentaires se révèle par une hématochézie chez des nourrissons autrement en santé. La prise en charge immédiate du syndrome d'entérocolite induite par les protéines alimentaires inclut la réhydratation, l'ondansétron ou ces deux traitements, mais est inutile pour soigner la proctocolite allergique induite par les protéines alimentaires. À long terme, il faut éviter l'aliment déclencheur pour prendre en charge ces deux affections, dont le pronostic est un fort taux de résolution au bout de quelques années.The most common types of non-IgE-mediated food allergy are food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) and food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). FPIES presents with delayed refractory emesis, while FPIAP presents with hematochezia in otherwise healthy infants. Acute management of FPIES includes rehydration or ondansetron, or both. No acute management is required for FPIAP. Long-term management of both disorders includes avoidance of the trigger food. The prognosis for both conditions is a high rate of resolution within a few years' time. To describe remote triage of 'potentially' critically ill or injured children in a western Canadian province and to examine the associated factors with 'missings' in vital sign items recorded in centralized telephone triage consultations. This is a provincial-wide prospective cohort study. We included all children under 17 years of age consulted through the central transport coordination centres in Alberta from June 2016 to July 2017. We labeled a value as 'missing' when the actual value was not identified in the audio records. In total, 429 cases were included in this study. The median duration of triage calls was 6.8 minutes. Although the patients' demographics and primary diagnoses were similar, backgrounds of the referring physicians and hospitals were significantly different between the two cohorts (i.e., patients referred to Calgary versus Edmonton). The proportion of 'missings' among the vital sign items varied significantly, in which capillary refilling time (60%), pupils (86%), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (79%), and level of respiratory effort (50%) were not well recorded, whereas heart rate (proportion of 'missings' 12%), SpO (20%), and respiratory rate (26%) were recorded reasonably well. The lower proportion of 'missings' was observed in older aged patients for several vital sign items including systolic blood pressure and GCS. The proportion of missing vital signs recorded varied significantly. The 'missings' could be associated with referring physician's background and patients' demographics such as 'age' that should be considered for the improvement of triage quality in the future.The proportion of missing vital signs recorded varied significantly.

Recent paediatric and family medicine graduates report feeling unprepared to identify and address children and youth with developmental disorders. Developmental history taking and physical examination alone limit engagement with children and youth in an interactive manner to assess development. The paediatric developmental toolkit (PDT) was developed to provide trainees with the opportunity to interact with a child in a play-based manner. The primary objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of PDT within clinical settings, and qualitatively explore how the PDT can be used by teachers and trainees. Trainees and their clinical teachers participated in a qualitative study. Trainees used the PDT in clinical settings and were interviewed following their clinical encounters. Interactions between clinical teachers and trainees following the use of the PDT were also recorded. Teachers were interviewed following the trainees' case presentations and closures of clinic visits. Trainee interviews, tnts' learning of child development by enabling opportunities for interaction with children.For children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition, assessment and treatment services vary widely across Canada-potentially creating inequities. CD437 research buy To highlight this, the Preschool Autism Treatment Impact study compared children's services and outcomes in New Brunswick (NB) and Nova Scotia (NS). Diagnostic practices, service delivery models, wait times, and treatment approaches differed, as did children's 1-year outcomes and costs for families and the public sector. Considering NB and NS strengths, we suggest that an optimal system would include rapid access to high-quality diagnostic and intervention services; adherence to research-informed practice guidelines; interventions to enhance parents' skills and self-efficacy; and measures to minimize financial burdens for families. Our results also suggest that provinces/territories must do more to ensure equitable access to effective services, including sharing and reporting on national comparative data. Canadian children with ASD deserve access to effective and consistent services, no matter where they live.
