Overcrowding modulates the response of adolescents to psychoactive drugs
Overcrowding is a growing problem that prevails in the urban areas of both developing and developed countries. It is considered as psycho-social stress that affects the behavior and physiology of individuals and societies [1].
Scientific awareness of overcrowding stress systematically started in the 1960s with the early experiments of John B. Calhoun using the so-called “rat utopia” and the theory of “behavioral sink” [2]. Depending on Calhoun’s experiments, connections between the model of rodent colonies and the arising problems of crowded cities were extrapolated [3].
Late complications of children and adolescents after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: An integrative review
Patients undergoing Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT) can develop late complications that limit their functioning and reduce their quality of life. This phase requires nursing-specific knowledge for care plans that can meet the patient’s real needs. For this reason, the purpose of this review is to compile the data available in the literature on late complications present in the follow-up of pediatric and adolescent patients after allo HSCT.
Approach to testicular adrenal rest tumors in children and adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disorder affecting cortisol biosynthesis in the adrenal cortex [1]. 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most frequent reason for CAH, with an incidence between 1:10.000 and 1:20.000 [2]. Due to the lack of enzyme function, patients with any enzyme deficiency cannot synthesize cortisol effectively.
Oilfield workers’ job satisfaction: A study of social support and work stress
This study aimed to investigate and identify the correlates of job satisfaction of large-scale industry employees. We randomly selected 299 employees from an oilfield in the East of China and administered a questionnaire survey. We found that when other variables controlled for, the conflict with leaders and the discontent with management was negatively related to job satisfaction, and conflict with colleagues was positively associated with job satisfaction. On the other hand, the workload was not an important influencing factor.
Clinical and urodynamic findings in children and adolescents with refractory neurogenic bladder undergoing augmentation cystoplasty
Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is a surgical procedure for patients with refractory neurogenic bladder (NB). This study aimed to evaluate urinary incontinence (UI), vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and urodynamic parameters in patients’ post-AC and compare these results to preoperative data.
