Correlation between metabolic response determined with [F]FDG PET/CT and pathological response after neoadjuvant treatment and surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.

Aim: To assess the correlation between the result of the PET/CT study with [18 F]FDG and the histological outcome in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy and subsequent surgery.

Material And Methods: 41 patients (35 men) diagnosed with esophageal cancer during a 10-year interval were retrospectively evaluated. PERCIST criteria and SULpeak (ΔSULpeak) variation between pre- and post-treatment PET/CT studies were used.

Health markers, depressive symptoms, and community deprivation in a type 2 diabetes multidisciplinary care clinic for youth.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects non-Hispanic/Latino Black and Hispanic/Latino youth. The purpose of this study was to examine whether differences in metabolic risk factors and depressive symptoms exist by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation and whether these impact clinic attendance and health markers over 1 year in a multidisciplinary type 2 diabetes clinic for youth.

Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review of 54 youth with type 2 diabetes who had both an initial and follow-up visit.

Examining where to go: pediatric psychology trainees' perception of their graduate training in culture and diversity.

Objective: Culture and diversity-related training is critical to the development of competent pediatric psychologists. Evaluation of training efforts have been conducted at the program level, yet evaluation of trainee experiences in culture and diversity-related training remains unassessed. This trainee-led study was the first formal assessment of pediatric psychology trainee experiences of culture and diversity-related training and the impact of training on their own cultural humility.

Sedentary Bout Patterns and Metabolic Health in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latino Youth (SOL Youth).

Background There is limited evidence on the potential negative metabolic health impacts of prolonged and uninterrupted sedentary bouts in structurally disadvantaged youth. This study investigated associations between sedentary bout variables and metabolic health markers in the Hispanic Community Health Study/SOL Youth (Study of Latino Youth). Methods and Results SOL Youth was a population-based cohort of 1466 youth (age range, 8-16 years; 48.

Trajectories of Psychopathology and Dysregulation 2-4 Years following Adolescent Bariatric Surgery.

Objective: This study examined psychopathology and weight over 4 years following bariatric surgery in adolescents with obesity, as compared to a nonsurgical group. The role of psychological dysregulation in relation to psychopathology in the 2-4 year "maintenance phase" following surgery was also examined.

Methods: Adolescent participants (122 surgical and 70 nonsurgical) completed height/weight and psychopathology assessments annually for 4 years, with dysregulation assessed at Year 2.
