A Conceptual Model Depicting How Children Are Affected by Parental Cancer: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Approach.

Cancer patients' children are vulnerable to psychosocial and behavioural issues. The mechanisms underlying how children are affected by their parent's diagnosis are unknown, warranting further research. This study investigated how children are affected by their parent's cancer diagnosis and provides a theoretical model conceptualising this experience.

The Psychosocial Effect of Parental Cancer: Qualitative Interviews with Patients' Dependent Children.

Background: Children living with parental cancer are at an increased risk for various psychosocial, emotional, and behavioural problems. However, research regarding how children are affected by their parent's diagnosis is still developing and patients' children are typically invisible in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate how children are affected by their parent's cancer diagnosis, from children's perspectives.

Learning words without trying: Daily second language podcasts support word-form learning in adults.

Spoken language contains overlapping patterns across different levels, from syllables to words to phrases. The discovery of these structures may be partially supported by statistical learning (SL), the unguided, automatic extraction of regularities from the environment through passive exposure. SL supports word learning in artificial language experiments, but few studies have examined whether it scales up to support natural language learning in adult second language learners.

The association between childhood trauma and overweight and obesity in young adults: the mediating role of food addiction.

Purpose: Childhood trauma is associated with increased risk of obesity during adulthood, which may be associated with the development of food addiction. This study examined whether food addiction mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and obesity in young adults.

Methods: A sample of 512 young adults, aged 18 to 30 years, living with overweight and obesity (Body Mass Index ≥ 25 kg/m), from the United Kingdom participated in the study.

Weight bias among health care professionals: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Weight-biased attitudes and views held by health care professionals can have a negative impact on the patient-provider relationship and the provision of care, but studies have found mixed results about the extent and nature of bias, which warrants a review of the evidence.

Methods: A systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis were conducted by including studies up to January 12, 2021.

Results: A total of 41 studies met inclusion criteria, with 17 studies providing sufficient data to be meta-analyzed.

A content analysis of the tweets of e-cigarette proponents in Australia.

Issue Addressed: Social media sites have become platforms for public discourse on e-cigarettes, providing proponents with an opportunity to disseminate favourable information about the devices. Research examining the information being presented by Australian proponents of e-cigarettes is limited. Accordingly, this study explored the Twitter feeds of Australian proponents of e-cigarettes to determine the nature of the e-cigarette-related content being disseminated.

The perceived effect of parental cancer on children still living at home: According to oncology health professionals.

Objective: How children are affected by their parent's diagnosis is limited in the literature, and children are typically not considered in current clinical practice. Despite suggestion that the patient's oncology team are well placed to support their children, this is yet to be sufficiently explored. This study aimed to explore how oncology healthcare professionals (HPs) perceive children are affected by a parent's diagnosis of cancer.

A systematic review of the current interventions available to support children living with parental cancer.

Objective: Children living with parental cancer are vulnerable to distress and developmental disruption. This review aims to identify current interventions to support cancer patients' children and summarise how effective these are based on children's reports.

Methods: Between 25 May 2015 and 6 August 2018, a broad search strategy was used to identify relevant references.

Dorsal penile nerve block for male pediatric circumcision--randomized comparison of ultrasound-guided vs anatomical landmark technique.

Background: Dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) is a commonly performed regional anesthetic technique for male circumcision. Traditionally, DPNB is based on an anatomical landmark technique. Recently, an ultrasound-guided technique for DPNB has been described.
