OBJECTIVE: Cross cultural knowledge can motivate dental hygienists to adopt culturally acceptable behaviors, strengthen patient-provider relationships and optimize therapeutic outcomes. Trends in Muslim population growth, Islamic history and beliefs, modesty practices, healthcare beliefs, contraception, childbearing, childrearing, pilgrimage, dietary prac

[ADHD and attachment processes: are they related?].

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is defined on the basis of developmentally inappropriate inattention, motor activity and impulsivity that emerges early in development and causes impairment in social and academic functioning. ADHD is described as a multifactorial disease, with a well studied genetic vulnerability, and early environmental factors also playing an important role in the development and course of the disorder. Current aetiological models emphasize interaction between genes and environment. The concept of attachment, as proposed by John Bowlby, reflects quality of ear

Mental health of adolescents reared in institutional care in Turkey: challenges and hope in the twenty-first century.

The objectives of the study are (i) to describe and compare the epidemiology of emotional/behavioral problems and associated risk/protective factors among nationally representative samples of institutionally reared and similarly aged community-based adolescents brought up in their natural homes by means of youth self-reports, caregiver/parent, and teacher informants; and (ii) to identify mental health service needs and utilization. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between November 2005 through April 2006 using an equal probability cluster sample of 11-18 year old adolescents in instituti

Frontal-oblique impact sled tests of a rearward-facing child restraint system with and without a support leg.

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the head and neck injury metrics of an anthropometric test device (ATD) in a rearward-facing child restraint system (CRS), with and without a support leg, in frontal-oblique impacts. METHODS: Sled tests using the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 213 frontal crash pulse (48 km/h, 23 g) were performed with a simulated Consumer Reports test buck, which comprised a test bench that mimics the rear outboard vehicle seat of a sport utility vehicle (SUV). The test bench was rigidised to increase durability for repeated testing and the seat springs and cushion were

GP recruitment and retention: a qualitative analysis of doctors' comments about training for and working in general practice.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: General practice in the UK is experiencing difficulty with medical staff recruitment and retention, with reduced number … ced working hours, temporary career breaks, leaving the NHS to work elsewhere and early retirement. Child rearing and a desire to pursue interests outside medicine were cited as reasons for seeking shorter working hours or career breaks. A desire to reduce pressure of work was a common reason for seeking shorter working hours, taking career breaks, early retire …

Cancer: a looming public health crisis in Africa-a call to accelerate equitable access to medicines.

The global incidence of cancer is on the rise, with Africa experiencing a particularly steep increase in both cancer incidence and mortality. This upward trend is driven by a combination of factors, including population growth, poverty, aging, urbanization, and the adoption of lifestyles that increase the risk of cancer. It is projected that from 2022 to 2045, the incidence of cancer in Africa will increase by 106.8%, while cancer mortality will rise by 111.7% if no action is taken. In contrast, Europe is expected to see increases of only 22.5% in incidence and 32.2% in mortality. Despite glob

… in Africa, breast cancer was the most frequently diagnosed malignancy, accounting for 16.8 % of all new cancer cases, followed by cervical cancer (10.6 %) and prostate cancer (8.7 %) among both sexes combined. 12 These cancers disproportionally affect adults aged 30-60 years, a period critical for child-rearing … In sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 5 children who lose a parent to cancer become orphans before age 18. 35 Women play a major role in child rearing in Africa. …

Investigating socioecological obesogenic factors in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Obesity-related information in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is limited, and research findings are contradictory. Thus, this study aimed to use a nationwide non-clinical sample to examine the association of sociological factors with overweight status in children with ASD and reveal the degree of differences in the risk factors for overweight in children with and without ASD. The data for this cross-sectional study, based on the modified ecological system theory model, were obtained from the 2019 National Survey of Children's Health. The weighted logistic regressions were perform

Изучение роли позитивного образа тела, симптомов депрессии, инвалидности и возраста в принятии болезней у людей с множественным склерозом.

Фон: Множественный склероз (MS) является хроническим нейродегенеративным заболеванием, приводящим к постепенной инвалидности, которая может влиять не только на физическое, но и на психическое состояние пациентов. Психологическая адаптация к этому заболеванию играет важную роль в общей эффективности лечения. Цель этого исследования заключалась в определении изменяемых и немодифицированных корреляций принятия болезни. Методы: Включено в общей сложности 139 белых жителей, имеющих MS (PwMS) (106 женщин). Были использованы данные о принятии шкалы заболеваемости (АИС), шкалы оценки тела (БАС-2) и гр

New approaches to divorce with children: A problem of public health.

This broad review elaborates on the most up-to-date knowledge on biochemical and psychobiological aspects of parental loss and other childhood adversities during divorce involving minor children. So far, divorce involving minor children was unfortunately considered by authorities only as a purely juridical problem, and this approach has often allowed a completely different approach according to the Courts. Now, scientific research, also making use of animal models, is demonstrating the biological basis of the problem and the indisputable consequences on the well-being and health of children. T

Clinical transplantation and tolerance: are we there yet?

Organ transplantation is not only considered as the last resort therapy but also as the treatment of choice for many patients with end-stage organ damage. Recipient-mediated acute or chronic immune response is the main challenge after transplant surgery. Nonspecific suppression of host immune system is currently the only method used to prevent organ rejection. Lifelong immunosuppression will cause significant side effects such as infections, malignancies, chronic kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes. This is more relevant in children who have a longer life expectancy so may receive longer

Glutathione Transferase P1-1 an Enzyme Useful in Biomedicine and as Biomarker in Clinical Practice and in Environmental Pollution.

Glutathione transferase P1-1 (GSTP1-1) is expressed in some human tissues and is abundant in mammalian erythrocytes (here termed e-GST). This enzyme is able to detoxify the cell from endogenous and exogenous toxic compounds by using glutathione (GSH) or by acting as a ligandin. This review collects studies that propose GSTP1-1 as a useful biomarker in different fields of application. The most relevant studies are focused on GSTP1-1 as a biosensor to detect blood toxicity in patients affected by kidney diseases. In fact, this detoxifying enzyme is over-expressed in erythrocytes when unusual amo

Kabuki Syndrome-Clinical Review with Molecular Aspects.

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare developmental disorder principally comprised of developmental delay, hypotonia and a clearly defined dysmorphism: elongation of the structures surrounding the eyes, a shortened and depressed nose, thinning of the upper lip and thickening of the lower lip, large and prominent ears, hypertrichosis and scoliosis. Other characteristics include poor physical growth, cardiac, gastrointestinal and renal anomalies as well as variable behavioral issues, including autistic features. De novo or inherited pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the KMT2D gene are the most c

Novel Local "Off-the-Shelf" Immunotherapy for the Treatment of Myeloma Bone Disease.

Myeloma bone disease (MBD) is one of the major complications in multiple myeloma (MM)-the second most frequent hematologic malignancy. It is characterized by the formation of bone lesions due to the local action of proliferating MM cells, and to date, no effective therapy has been developed. In this study, we propose a novel approach for the local treatment of MBD with a combination of natural killer cells (NKs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within a fibrin scaffold, altogether known as FINM. The unique biological properties of the NKs and MSCs, joined to the injectable biocompatible fibri
