Parents' descriptions of young children's dissociative reactions after trauma.
J Trauma Dissociation
March 2019
There is limited research on the phenomenology of how young children who have been exposed to trauma express the intrusive symptom of dissociative reactions. The current qualitative study utilized interviews from a semi-structured diagnostic clinical interview with 74 caregivers of young children (ages 3 to 7) who were exposed to trauma to identify parents' descriptions of their children's dissociative reactions during a clinical interview. Based on results from the interview, 45.

Among all the compounds tested, the 2-hexadecynoic acid (2-HDA) displayed the best overall antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (MIC=15.6 μg/mL), Staphylococcus saprophyticus (MIC=15.

- - The research achieved the first total synthesis of (Z)-16-methyl-11-heptadecenoic acid from the sponge Dragmaxia undata in seven steps, yielding 44%, using (trimethylsilyl)acetylene as a critical component.
- - The synthesis method involved two key acetylide couplings that improved yields and allowed for the establishment of the compound's cis double bond stereochemistry through comprehensive spectral data.
- - The synthesized fatty acid showed potential antiprotozoal activity against Leishmania donovani with an IC(50) of 165.5 μM and inhibited the enzyme LdTopIB, indicating promise for further pharmaceutical applications.
We report a case of elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) without volume overload in a left ventricular assist device patient with a subdural hematoma and cerebral salt wasting syndrome suggesting a noncardiac etiology for BNP elevation.

The aim of this study was to determine whether BMI influences the mortality risk in acute decompensated HF, a subject not previously studied.
Methods: The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry was analyzed for acute HF hospitalizations in 263 hospitals in the United States from October 2001 through December 2004.
