1. Assessing Pre-Literacy Behaviors in Infants and Toddlers: Psychometric Evaluation of the Infant Toddler Literacy Assessment ('ITLA-3')

Author

Jackson, Barbara J., Marvin, Christine A., Encinger, Amy, Buchholz, Nicole, and Zessin, Becky

Abstract

Assessment of emerging literacy in young children is generally limited to either skill development in children over 3 years of age or the quality and context of young children's early literacy experiences. Although there has been promotion of their early literacy experiences, assessment of emerging pre-literacy behaviors in children younger than 3 years has yet to be organized into a single tool. Preliminary work on the "Infant Toddler Literacy Assessment (ITLA)" has progressed through initial steps of scale development and shown promise as a criterion-based, standardized assessment for tracking children's pre-literacy behaviors and guiding practitioners in supporting development of those behaviors in populations that might otherwise show delays later-on. Previous analyses of data on 450+ children provided statistical support of a developmental sequence of "ITLA" exemplar behaviors, from easiest or earliest learned to later developed skills. Results of the present study showed the "ITLA-3" has moderate construct validity with the "PPVT™-IV" and demonstrates one overall construct of pre-literacy across its 15 exemplars and 105 behaviors. Evidence now exists to support use of "ITLA-3" by early childhood teachers to assess and guide the advancement of pre-literacy behaviors in infants and toddlers. Ongoing development of the "ITLA-3" is recommended for further standardization.

Jackson, Linda Vona-Davis Keywords: Peptide YY; Barrett's adenocarcinoma; Cellular inhibition; Apoptosis Abstract: Peptide YY (PYY) is an endogenous gut hormone that inhibits the growth of certain cancers. Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus usually arises from Barrett's esophagus. We hypothesized that treatment of Barrett's adenocarcinoma with PYY would result in decreased proliferation.

37. Prevalence and Toxigenicity of Clostridium difficileIsolates in Fecal Microflora of Preterm Infants in the Intensive Care Nursery

Author

El-Mohandes, Ayman E., Keiser, John F., Refat, Mamdouh, and Jackson, Barbara J.

Abstract

Fecal isolates of Clostridium difficileand its toxin B were followed prospectively in 50 preterm intensive care nursery (ICN) patients. The first stool specimen was obtained after 1 week of enteral feeding, at 15 ± 1 days of life, and 2 more specimens were collected at 2-week intervals, 24 ± 1 and 32 ± 2 days of life. The stools were cultured for C. difficile, and tested for C.difficiletoxin B. In the first specimen 15% of stools grew C.difficile. In the second specimen C. difficileisolation rates increased to 33% and plateaued. Toxin B was detected in 71, 93 and 100% of culture-positive stools in the first, second, and third specimens, respectively. C.difficilecolonization was not associated with a higher incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis or diarrhea, and using precollected, frozen human milk did not protect from C.difficilecolonization.
