First, 31 young people's motivations for enrolling in the intervention were identified from one open ended question on an online survey.

A Web-Based Intervention for Young Adults Whose Parents Have a Mental Illness or Substance Use Concern: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: One in 5 young people grow up in a family where one parent has experienced a mental health problem or substance use concern. Compared with their same-aged peers, these youth are at a higher risk of academic failure and acquiring a substance abuse and/or mental health issue. There is a paucity of accessible, age-appropriate interventions that address their needs.

An Online Intervention to Promote Mental Health and Wellbeing for Young Adults Whose Parents Have Mental Illness and/or Substance Use Problems: Theoretical Basis and Intervention Description.

The transition to adulthood can be a vulnerable period for certain population groups. In particular, young adults aged 18-25 years who have a parent with mental illness and/or substance use problems face increased risks to their mental health compared to same aged peers. Yet these young adults may not have access to age-appropriate, targeted interventions, nor engage with traditional face-to-face health services.

Duodenal perforation by an inferior vena cava filter with staphylococcal bacteremia: a case report.

Persistent bacteremia usually results from direct bacterial seeding from a source other than perforation of surrounding viscus.

Rapamycin Inhibition of mTOR Reduces Levels of the Na+/H+ Exchanger 3 in Intestines of Mice and Humans, Leading to Diarrhea.

Background & Aims: The immunosuppressant rapamycin frequently causes noninfectious diarrhea in organ transplant recipients. We investigated the mechanisms of this process.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of renal transplant recipients treated with rapamycin from 2003 through 2010 at Albany Medical College, collecting data on serum levels of rapamycin.

We describe a patient with diffuse polycystic disease of the liver. The patient's polycystic liver disease was found to be due to liver metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. No evidence of discrete masses was found in the liver using abdominal CT scan.

Systemic sarcoidosis presenting as a granulomatous tattoo reaction secondary to interferon-alpha treatment for chronic hepatitis C and review of the literature.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Immune alterations involving heightened T-helper-1 responses have been proposed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis. Interferon-alpha therapy and hepatitis C infection have been implicated in the development of a variety of autoimmune diseases.
