ABSTRACT
Among children with Down syndrome, the frequency of motor rehabilitation intervention and the age at the start of this intervention are independently related to the age at onset of independent walking. Early motor rehabilitation, before age 6 months, may be effective in reducing motor delay in children with Down syndrome.

ABSTRACT
We performed brain magnetic resonance imaging in 40 patients after the Fontan procedure and 40 control subjects. Pituitary volumes in patients after Fontan were significantly larger than those in the control subjects (472 [425-527] vs 257 [182-311]; P < .0001), and were significantly related to central venous pressure.
