BACKGROUND Adolescents with chronic illness in the general population are at increased risk of mental health and behaviour problems. Depression is also associated with delinquency. Adolescents in foster care are more at risk for chronic illness and mental health issues. We investigated whether adolescents in long-term foster care with chronic illness have associated higher rates of internalizin...

Background The definitive validation evidence of the implications of lymph node metastases regarding the survival of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of several lymph node metastases-associated risk factors including Number of Negative Lymph Node (NLN) and risk-stratify NSCLC patients into subsets with different prognosis. Meth...

Since the relative age effect (RAE) characterizes a problem in all age categories of alpine ski racing and soccer and the fact that, yet, to date the underlying factors have not been well investigated, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of the biological maturity status on the RAE among youth alpine ski racers (YSR) and soccer players (SP). In total, 183 male and female YS...

Ki-67 protein is a cellular marker for proliferation. The role of Ki-67 as a prognostic biomarker has not been established in gastric cancer. The present study was performed to investigate the significance of Ki-67 expression as a biomarker in early gastric cancer (EGC).With tissue microarray for 320 patients with gastric cancer, we performed immunohistochemical staining for Ki-67. Its clinical...

Although adolescence is by many scholars viewed as a problematic developmental period, recent research efforts focus increasingly on the antecedents and consequences of what makes adolescents thrive (Smetana, Campione-Barr, & Metzger, 2006). Clearly, adolescence is a time of exploration and opportunity for many youth and adolescent researchers have recognized the importance of studying the mech...

Magnetic impurities in a superconductor induce Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states inside the superconducting gap, whose energy depends on strength of coupling to impurity and density (DOS) at Fermi level. We consider DOS exhibiting logarithmic or power-law divergence level due Van Hove singularities (VHS) high-order (HOVHS), respectively. find that YSR has same functional form as constant scenario, ...

OBJECTIVE To complement standardized measurement of symptoms, we developed and tested an efficient strategy for identifying (before treatment) and repeatedly assessing (during treatment) the problems identified as most important by caregivers and youths in psychotherapy. METHOD A total of 178 outpatient-referred youths, 7-13 years of age, and their caregivers separately identified the 3 probl...

BACKGROUND Panic attacks are a source of individual suffering and are an independent risk factor for later psychopathology. However, much less is known about risk factors for the development of panic attacks, particularly during adolescence when the incidence of panic attacks increases dramatically. We examined whether internalizing and externalizing problems in childhood predict the onset of p...
