Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce, “Mental and Brain Health of Children and Adolescents”, a Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. This will be a collection of high-quality papers (original research or review articles) published in open access form by members of the editorial board, or scholars invited by board members or the Editorial Office. This Special Issue focuses on research in the field of child/adolescent brain health and mental health. We hope that this issue may serve as an ideal forum for dissemination of innovative research and ideas in the field.

Contributions to this Special Issue will include research papers detailing the author’s own work performed so far, or papers that highlight current developments in child/adolescent mental and brain health. Please note that submitted full papers will be subjected to a thorough and rigorous peer-review.

I am looking forward to receiving your excellent work.

Dr. Xudong Huang
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form.

Objective: To evaluate the development of the craniofacial region in healthy infants and analyze the asymmetry pattern in the first year of life. Methods: The participants were grouped by sex and age (1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months) to receive three-dimensional (3D) photographs. Stereoscopic craniofacial photos were captured and transformed into a series of craniofacial meshes in each group. The growth patterns of the anthropometric indices and the degree of craniofacial asymmetry were measured, and average craniofacial meshes and color-asymmetry maps with craniofacial asymmetry scores were calculated. Results: A total of 373 photographs from 66 infants were obtained. In both genders, the highest and lowest growth rates for all anthropometric indices were noted between 1 and 2 months and between 9 and 12 months, respectively. Overall, male infants had higher anthropometric indices, head volume, and head circumference than female infants. The craniofacial asymmetry score was presented with a descending pattern from 1 to 12 months of age in both sex groups. Both sex groups showed decreased left-sided laterality in the temporal-parietal-occipital region between 1 and 4 months of age and increased right frontal-temporal prominence between 6 and 12 months of age. Conclusions: A longitudinal evaluation of the craniofacial growth of healthy infants during their first year of life was presented. Full article
