Parent-Completed Developmental Screening in Premature Children: A Valid Tool for Follow-Up Programs

Our goals were to (1) validate the parental Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) as a screening tool for psychomotor development among a cohort of ex-premature infants reaching 2 years, and (2) analyse the influence of parental socio-economic status and maternal education on the efficacy of the questionnaire. A regional population of 703 very preterm infants (<35 weeks gestational age) born between 2003 and 2006 were evaluated at 2 years by their parents who completed the ASQ, by a pediatric clinical examination, and by the revised Brunet Lezine psychometric test with establishment of a DQ score. Detailed information regarding parental socio-economic status was available for 419 infants. At 2 years corrected age, 630 infants (89.6%) had an optimal neuromotor examination. Overall ASQ scores for predicting a DQ score ≤85 produced an area under the receiver operator curve value of 0.85 (95% Confidence Interval:0.82–0.87). An ASQ cut-off score of ≤220 had optimal discriminatory power for identifying a DQ score ≤85 with a sensitivity of 0.85 (95%CI:0.75–0.91), a specificity of 0.72 (95%CI:0.69–0.75), a positive likelihood ratio of 3, and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.21. The median value for ASQ was not significantly associated with socio-economic level or maternal education. ASQ is an easy and reliable tool regardless of the socio-economic status of the family to predict normal neurologic outcome in ex-premature infants at 2 years of age. ASQ may be beneficial with a low-cost impact to some follow-up programs, and helps to establish a genuine sense of parental involvement

Le thé : son hypothétique origine chez les Hani et sa préparation chez les Bulang du Yunnan

In China, one of the most popular beverages is an infusion of the processed leaves of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. In Yunnan, tea leaves are still picked in some parts of tropical forests near the Myanmar and Laos borders. Some minorities still process tea leaves by hand, including the Bulang and Hani minorities.En Chine, l'infusion de feuilles de Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze traitées, constitue une des boissons les plus populaires. Ces feuilles se récoltent en forêt par endroits, non loin des frontières de Myanmar et du Laos. La préparation artisanale de la feuille de thé se pratique encore parmi les populations minoritaires du Yunnan, telles les Bulang et les Hani.Berlie Jean.
