Systematic Review: Bullying Involvement of Children With and Without Chronic Physical Illness and/or Physical/Sensory Disability-a Meta-Analytic Comparison With Healthy/Nondisabled Peers.
Journal of pediatric psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Martin PinquartAbstract:Objective To compare levels of victimization and perpetration associated with bullying among children and adolescents with and without chronic physical illnesses and/or physical or Sensory disabilities. Methods In total, 107 studies were identified using a systematic search in electronic databases and cross-referencing. A random-effects meta-analysis was computed. Results Children and adolescents with chronic physical illness or Disability were more likely to be victims of bullying in general (odds ratio [OR] = 1.65), particularly physical bullying (OR = 1.47), relational bullying (OR = 1.47), verbal bullying (OR = 1.67), cyberbullying (OR = 1.39), and illness-specific teasing (OR = 5.29). They were also more likely to be bullies in general (OR = 1.28), as well physical (OR = 1.38) and relational bullies (OR = 1.13). The effect sizes varied across different illnesses and disabilities and, in part, by visibility of the disease, school type, and year of assessment. Conclusions Although most between-group differences tend to be small, some form of intervention is needed to reduce bullying among children and adolescents with chronic physical illnesses and/or physical or Sensory disabilities, and illness-specific weight- and appearance-related teasing in particular.

Solving Developmental Tasks in Adolescents with a Chronic Physical Illness or Physical/Sensory Disability: A Meta-Analysis.
International Journal of Disability Development and Education, 2015Co-Authors: Martin Pinquart, Jens P. PfeifferAbstract:Chronic illnesses and disabilities may impair the attainment of age-typical developmental tasks, such as forming relationships with peers and gaining autonomy. Based on a systematic search in electronic databases and cross-referencing, 447 quantitative empirical studies were included which compared the attainment of developmental tasks of adolescents with and without chronic physical illness or physical/Sensory Disability. Adolescents with chronic illness or Disability had more problems than healthy/nondisabled peers with regard to autonomy, body acceptance, developing friendships and romantic relationships, gaining access to a peer-group, career preparation, preparing for family life and developing socially responsible behaviour. However, between-group differences were small. No between-group differences were found regarding gender role acquisition and identity development. Success in solving developmental tasks varied, in part, by disease group, visibility of the disease/Disability, age, gender and repr...

Measure of Activity and Participation (MAP) World Health Organization's Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS II)
2007Co-Authors: Anne Doyle, Sarah Craig, Pamela Gallagher, Timothy Jackson, Donal Mcananey, Michael Shemeld, Mary Van LieshoutAbstract:Introduction The purpose of this bulletin is to document the results from the World Health Organization’s Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS II) section of the National Physical and Sensory Disability Database (NPSDD) and to highlight the value of this information to service planning. The WHODAS II enables the usefulness of service interventions to be assessed across a range of service types and a range of difficulties. The NPSDD Committee saw the opportunity to introduce a Measure of Activity and Participation (MAP), which includes WHODAS II, to explore the importance of appropriate service provision to enhance participation and inclusion of people with a physical and/or Sensory Disability in society.

demyelination and degeneration in the injured human spinal cord detected with diffusion and magnetization transfer mri
NeuroImage, 2011Co-Authors: Julien Cohenadad, Mm El Mendili, Stephane Lehericy, Pf Pradat, Sophie Blancho, Serge Rossignol, Habib BenaliAbstract:Characterizing demyelination/degeneration of spinal pathways in traumatic spinal cord injured (SCI) patients is crucial for assessing the prognosis of functional rehabilitation. Novel techniques based on diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetization transfer (MT) imaging provide sensitive and specific markers of white matter pathology. In this paper we combined for the first time high angular resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (HARDI), MT imaging and atrophy measurements to evaluate the cervical spinal cord of fourteen SCI patients and age-matched controls. We used high in-plane resolution to delineate dorsal and ventrolateral pathways. Significant differences were detected between patients and controls in the normal-appearing white matter for fractional anisotropy (FA, p<0.0001), axial diffusivity (p<0.05), radial diffusivity (p<0.05), generalized fractional anisotropy (GFA, p<0.0001), magnetization transfer ratio (MTR, p<0.0001) and cord area (p<0.05). No significant difference was detected in mean diffusivity (p=0.41), T1-weighted (p=0.76) and T2-weighted (p=0.09) signals. MRI metrics were remarkably well correlated with clinical Disability (Pearson's correlations, FA: p<0.01, GFA: p<0.01, radial diffusivity: p=0.01, MTR: p=0.04 and atrophy: p<0.01). Stepwise linear regressions showed that measures of MTR in the dorsal spinal cord predicted the Sensory Disability whereas measures of MTR in the ventro-lateral spinal cord predicted the motor Disability (ASIA score). However, diffusion metrics were not specific to the sensorimotor scores. Due to the specificity of axial and radial diffusivity and MT measurements, results suggest the detection of demyelination and degeneration in SCI patients. Combining HARDI with MT imaging is a promising approach to gain specificity in characterizing spinal cord pathways in traumatic injury.

Spinal Cord Atrophy in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders Is Spatially Related to Cord Lesions and Disability
Radiology, 2020Co-Authors: Laura Cacciaguerra, Massimo Filippi, Paola Valsasina, Sarlota Mesaros, Vittorio Martinelli, Jelena Drulovic, Maria A. RoccaAbstract:Background The spinal cord is commonly involved in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs). However, the relationship between inflammation and atrophy remains unclear. Purpose To characterize the spatial distribution of T1-hypointense lesions in the spinal cord at MRI, its association with cord atrophy, and its correlation with Disability in participants with NMOSDs. Materials and Methods This prospective study evaluated three-dimensional T1-weighted spinal cord MRI scans in seropositive participants with NMOSDs and in age-matched healthy control participants acquired between February 2010 and July 2018. Binary masks of T1-hypointense lesions and lesion probability maps were produced. Cross-sectional area of the cervical and upper thoracic cord (down to T3 level) was calculated with the active-surface method. Full factorial models were used to assess cord atrophy in participants with NMOSDs. Correlations between cord atrophy and clinical and brain MRI measures were investigated with multiple regression models. Results A total of 52 participants with NMOSDs (mean age ± standard deviation, 44 years ± 15; 45 women) and 28 age-matched healthy control participants (mean age, 44 years ± 13; 16 women) were evaluated. Thirty-eight of 52 (73%) participants with NMOSDs had T1-hypointense cord lesions. No cord lesions were detected in the healthy control participants. Lesion probability maps showed a predominant involvement of the upper cervical (C2-C4) and upper thoracic (T1-T3 level) cord. The greater involvement of C1-C4 survived Bonferroni correction (P value range, .007-.04), with a higher percentage lesion extent in the gray matter (P < .001). Atrophy colocalized with focal cord lesions and correlated with pyramidal subscore (r ranging from -0.53 to -0.40; P < .001) and sensitive subscore (r ranging from -0.48 to -0.46; P = .001) of the Expanded Disability Status Scale. Participants without cord lesions had no cord atrophy. Conclusion In participants with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, focal areas of spinal cord atrophy at MRI were topographically associated with lesions and correlated to motor and Sensory Disability. Participants without visible cord lesions had no atrophy. © RSNA, 2020 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
