Young Adult Caregiving Daughters and Diagnosed Mothers Navigating Breast Cancer Together: Open and Avoidant Communication and Psychosocial Outcomes.

For many diagnosed mothers and their daughters, breast cancer is a shared experience. However, they struggle to talk about cancer. This is particularly true when the daughter is in adolescence or young adulthood, as they tend to be more avoidant, which is associated with poorer biopsychosocial outcomes.

Sugars and Organic Acids in 25 Strawberry Cultivars: Qualitative and Quantitative Evaluation.

(1) The nutritional quality of strawberry ( Duch) fruits, among others, is largely maintained by the presence of soluble sugars and organic acids. As the primary products of photosynthesis, they are energy depots in plants, necessary for the construction of cell constituents, but also serve as precursors of aromatic compounds and signaling molecules. (2) In this study, fruits of 25 strawberry cultivars were qualitatively and quantitatively characterized concerning individual sugars and organic acids by HPLC, FT-ICR-MS, and MS imaging analysis.

Helping Diagnosed Mothers and Their Adolescent-Young Adult Daughters Navigate Challenging Breast Cancer Conversations.

Background: Mothers diagnosed with breast cancer describe daughters as a critical source of support. Talking about breast cancer is especially distressing and challenging for mothers and their adolescent-young adult (AYA) daughters.

Objective: The over-arching study aim was to generate findings to integrate into an intervention to enhance diagnosed mothers' and AYA daughters' communication skills by identifying approaches they find helpful when talking about cancer.

Coping with breast cancer together: Challenging topics for mothers and their adolescent-young adult (AYA) daughters.

The mother-daughter relationship can be central to women who are coping with breast cancer and provide a key source of support. However, the adolescent and young adult (AYA) daughters of diagnosed mothers have been known to exhibit notable distress during this time, withdrawing and avoiding communication, further challenging their ability to cope together. We sought to identify challenging topics that contribute to this avoidant mother-daughter communication pattern, as a first step in helping mothers and AYA daughters facilitate health-promoting communication.

Experiences of "openness" between mothers and daughters during breast cancer: implications for coping and healthy outcomes.

Objective: Mother-daughter communication is central to how women adjust to breast cancer. They may be aided by models of healthy communication that illustrate both women's perspectives. Families establish normative communication patterns that inform how they cope.

Comparative Study of Graphite-Supported LDI- and ESI-FT-ICR-MS of a Pyrolysis Liquid from a German Brown Coal.

Pyrolysis liquids from coal are complex mixtures of organic compounds with low to high molecular mass and low to high polarity. Compared to low-molecular-weight compounds, little information is available regarding high-molecular-weight compounds in pyrolysis liquids, although their characterization is important for the elucidation of degradation pathways. In this study, laser desorption ionization (LDI) using graphite powder as the support material has been used in conjunction with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) for the analysis of a pyrolysis liquid from brown coal.

Do families cope communally with breast cancer, or is it just talk?

Cancer experiences are sites of transition and struggle that are made meaningful through communication with others. As such, they are events in which communal coping might occur as survivors and families deal with cancer collectively. I conducted 64 interviews with family members who had coped with breast cancer.
