Folate and choline are methyl donor nutrients that may play a role in fetal brain development. Animal studies have reported that prenatal folate and choline supplementation are associated with better cognitive outcomes in offspring and that these nutrients may interact and affect brain development. Human studies that have investigated associations between maternal prenatal folate or choline levels and neurodevelopmental outcomes have reported contradictory findings and no human studies have examined the potential interactive effect of folate and choline on children’s neurodevelopment. During the second trimester of pregnancy, maternal red blood cell folate was measured from blood samples and choline intake was estimated using a 24-h dietary recall in 309 women in the APrON cohort. At 3–5 years of age, their children’s neurodevelopment was assessed using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence – Fourth EditionCND, NEPSY-II language and memory subtests, four behavioral executive function tasks, and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition. Adjusted regressions revealed no associations between maternal folate and choline levels during pregnancy and most of the child outcomes. On the Dimensional Change Card Sort, an executive function task, there was an interaction effect; at high levels of choline intake (i.e., 1 SD above the mean; 223.03 mg/day), higher maternal folate status was associated with decreased odds of receiving a passing score (β = −0.44; 95%CI −0.81, −0.06). In conclusion, maternal folate status and choline intake during the second trimester of pregnancy were not associated with children’s intelligence, language, memory, or motor outcomes at 3–4 years of age; however, their interaction may have an influence children’s executive functions.

Transactional models suggest that peer victimization results from both individual and context differences, and understanding these differences may point to important targets for prevention and interventions that reduce victimization. Multilevel modeling was used to examine within-person (aggression and emotional dysregulation), between-person (sex and age), and between-school (participation in a victimization prevention program) factors that influence changes in physical and relational victimization over the first three years of elementary school. Children (n = 423) reported their experiences of peer victimization at entry into Grade 1 and at the end of Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3. On average, trajectories of both physical and relational victimization declined. However, for individual children, teacher-rated aggression was associated with increases in physical and relational victimization, while emotional dysregulation was associated with attenuation of longitudinal declines in physical victimization and increases in relational victimization. Individual differences in sex and age at entry into Grade 1 did not significantly influence victimization trajectories over Grades 1 to 3. Children who participated in the WITS® victimization prevention program showed significant declines in physical and relational victimization. Levels of victimization among nonparticipants remained stable. Implications of child and context characteristics for preventing peer victimization in elementary school are discussed.

Adenosine, when given as an intravenous bolus, has been shown to produce atrioventricular nodal block in humans. To examine the effect of adenosine on conduction across both accessory pathways and the atrioventricular node in children, we reviewed our experience with adenosine administered during both atrial and ventricular pacing in 42 patients with atrioventricular resting tachycardia and in eight patients with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. Adenosine was administered as a mean bolus of 195 μg/kg/dose during both atrial and ventricular pacing, examining antegrade and retrograde conduction before and after radiofrequency ablation. In those patients with persistent or intermittent pre-excitation, anomalous ventricular activation was either unchanged (n=8) or increased (n=11). Retrograde conduction (either through the accessory pathway alone in three, or across both the accessory pathway and the atrioventricular node in 19) persisted in 92% of the 24 patients studied. Adenosine produced either first or third degree antegrade heart block in all patients studied without pre-excitation (those with either dual atrioventricular nodal pathways or concealed accessory pathways). Adenosine produced retrograde block in all of the eight patients with dual atrioventricular nodal pathways. In contrast, retrograde conduction persisted in 82% (14/17) of patients with concealed accessory pathways (p=0.001). When used to examine retrograde conduction, adenosine was a sensitive (82%) and highly specific (producing retrograde atrioventricular block in all patients with dual atrioventricular nodal pathways) predictor of tachycardia supported by a concealed accessory pathway. Adenosine yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 96% and a positive predictive value of 99.5% for the success of ablation of accessory pathways. These data indicate that the pattern of adenosine-induced changes in either antegrade or retrograde atrioventricular conduction, or conduction in both directions, in young patients with supraventricular tachycardia is related to the mechanism of the tachycardia. Adenosine, therefore, is a useful adjunct in the electrophysiologic evaluation of supraventricular tachycardia in children.
