Abstract
This study aimed to describe the behavioral profile of individuals with SYNGAP1-ID. Parents/carers of 30 individuals aged 3-18 years old with a diagnosis of SYNGAP1-ID and 21 typically developing individuals completed the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist. We found that those with SYNGAP1-ID showed fewer adaptive behaviors and higher levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors across almost all domains compared to typically developing controls. There was some evidence that these differences were greatest in older children, and more apparent in those with co-occuring epilepsy. This characterization of the phenotype of SYNGAP1-ID significantly aids our understanding of the behavioral profile of this population and is a step towards the development of tailored interventions.

Abstract
We describe a follow-up of a study of behavior and emotional problems in a cohort of young people with Fragile X syndrome over 7 years. The study demonstrates that there is substantial persistence of the overall level of behavior and emotional problems. However, there are changes in certain types of behavior. Scores on the "disruptive" subscale of the Developmental Behavior Checklist decline significantly, whereas those on the "antisocial" subscale increase significantly. These changes parallel those seen in a large epidemiological control sample of young people with intellectual disability due to other causes. Further, two individual behaviors that distinguished the Fragile X individuals from the control individuals in the original study, namely "shy" and "avoids eye contact," continue to do so 7 years later.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether computer assisted analysis of lung area on the chest radiograph reliably predicted lung volume in neonates. Anteroposterior chest radiographs taken for clinical purposes were scanned and analysed using a Power Macintosh computer with a Wacom A5 Ultra Pad and NIH image software. The cardiac, mediastinal and thymic densities and areas of perihilar and lobar consolidation were subtracted from the thoracic area to give the lung area. This was compared with lung volume, assessed by measurement of functional residual capacity (FRC), within 1 h of the chest radiograph being performed. 50 infants, median gestational age 30 weeks (range 24-43) were studied. Their median lung area was 11.23 cm2 (range 0.82-28.53) and lung volume 28 ml (range 3-103). The intraobserver and interobserver coefficients of repeatability of lung area were 1.0 cm2 and 1.06 cm2, respectively. Lung area correlated significantly with FRC (r = 0.60, p < 0.0001). It is concluded that computer assisted analysis of the chest radiograph lung area is a reliable method of assessing lung volume in neonates.
