Background: It is known that being the adult child of a parent with an alcohol use disorder (ACoA) can confer a wide variety of increased health and psychological risks, including higher rates of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Additionally, ACoAs are at greater risk of developing alcohol/substance use disorders (AUDs/SUDs) than individuals from families without a history of AUDs.
Methods: ACoA individuals with risky hazardous alcohol use ( = 14) and those not engaged in hazardous use ( = 14) were compared to a group of healthy controls.
Article Synopsis
- Iron nanoparticles have notable magnetic properties and exhibit different forms based on temperature, making them valuable in various applications.
- The study employed a tight-binding model with a magnetic component to explore how the size of these nanoparticles influences their structural and magnetic transformations on an atomic level.
- Results indicate that smaller nanoparticles enhance magnetism at their surfaces, increasing the Curie temperature while contrasting with the behavior of the solid-solid transition temperature, thus offering insights for future applications.
Background: Flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) has the potential to enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve pulmonary function in children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits (clinical, radiological, and microbiological) of FFB and assess associated complications in children on ECMO.
Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective observational cohort study in a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit.
A wide variety of treatments have been developed to improve respiratory function and quality of life in patients with bilateral vocal fold paresis (BVFP). One experimental method is the electrical activation of the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle with a laryngeal pacemaker (LP) to open the vocal folds. We used an ovine (sheep) model of unilateral VFP to study the long-term effects of functional electrical stimulation on the PCA muscles.

Here we describe anatomic elements of hip arthroscopy and our current understanding of the relevant sensory innervation as a prelude to the evaluation of locoregional analgesic techniques. Many regional nerve blocks and local anesthetic infiltration techniques are reviewed, including 2 newer ultrasound fascial plane blocks.
