Summary
Interventions like parental training and behavioral strategies can improve fruit and vegetable intake in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). These approaches help address feeding challenges and reduce nutritional risks in this population.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nutrition
- Developmental Pediatrics
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) often experience feeding difficulties impacting fruit and vegetable intake.
- Inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables increases nutritional deficiency risks in children with NDDs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of interventions promoting fruit and vegetable consumption in children with NDDs.
Main Methods:
- Searched major databases (PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycINFO) for relevant studies.
- Included randomized and non-randomized studies in English or Spanish assessing fruit and vegetable intake in children with NDDs.
Main Results:
- Seven articles reported interventions including mobile health, behavioral modification, repeated food exposure, play-based programs with parental training, DASH diet, intensive mealtime behavioral treatment, and restrictive diets.
Conclusions:
- Parent-led behavioral changes, supported by multidisciplinary teams, are key interventions.
- Strategies involve play, positive reinforcement, and food modification to enhance fruit and vegetable intake.
- Evidence-based approaches are needed to improve feeding challenges in children with NDDs.

4.6K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

3.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
