You Do Not Have to Get through This Alone: Interpersonal Emotion Regulation and Psychosocial Resources during the COVID-19 Pandemic across Four Countries.

While experiencing the unpredictable events of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are likely to turn to people in order to regulate our emotions. In this research, we investigate how this interpersonal emotion regulation is connected to affective symptoms, above and beyond personal emotion regulation. Furthermore, we explore whether perceived psychosocial resources moderate these associations, i.

Emotion regulation across the lifespan: age differences in intrapersonal and interpersonal strategies for the adjustment to the COVID-19 pandemic in four countries.

Objectives: Studies have shown age differences in adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic. The processes explaining these age differences remain unclear. Intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation play an important role in psycho-social adjustment and develop across the lifespan.

Mobile, Game-Based Training for Myoelectric Prosthesis Control.

Myoelectric prostheses provide upper limb amputees with hand and arm movement control using muscle activity of the residual limb, but require intensive training to effectively operate. The result is that many amputees abandon their prosthesis before mastering control of their device. In the present study, we examine a novel, mobile, game-based approach to myoelectric prosthesis training.

Association between spinal loads and the psychophysical determination of maximum acceptable force during pushing tasks.

The objective of this study was to investigate potential associations between an individual's psychophysical maximum acceptable force (MAF) during pushing tasks and biomechanical tissue loads within the lumbar spine. Ten subjects (eight males, two females) pushed a cart with an unknown weight at one push every two minute for a distance of 3.9 m.

[The possible drawbacks of applying the DRG classification].

The objective of this article is to present the difficulties linked to the measure and use of the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) as part of a hospital's production and management accounting evaluation system. We will present here all the criticisms brought forth in management literature against DRG classifications. The article isn't intended to argue against and to push people to reconsider the tool but rather to attract the attention of politicians and hospital managers to all the possible difficulties and outcomes that could be generated by the DRG, this in terms of either the AP-DRG or the German-DRG, the latter being the classification that has been adopted in Switzerland as the basis for the construction of the future Swiss-DRG.

The mRNA encoding tauCstF-64 is expressed ubiquitously in mouse tissues.

Polyadenylation is a process of endonucleolytic cleavage of the mRNA, followed by addition of up to 250 adenosine residues to the 3' end of the mRNA. Polyadenylation is essential for eukaryotic mRNA expression, and CstF-64 is a subunit of the CstF polyadenylation factor that is required for accurate polyadenylation. We discovered that there are two forms of the CstF-64 protein in mammalian male germ cells, one of which (CstF-64) is expressed in all tissues, the other of which (tauCstF-64) is expressed only in male germ cells and in brain (albeit at significantly lower levels in the brain).

Hygienic behavior of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) is independent of sucrose responsiveness and foraging ontogeny.

Hygienic behavior in honey bees is a behavioral mechanism of disease resistance. Bees bred for hygienic behavior exhibit an increased olfactory sensitivity to odors of diseased brood, which is most likely differentially enhanced in the hygienic line by the modulatory effects of octopamine (OA), a noradrenaline-like neuromodulator. Here, we addressed whether the hygienic behavioral state is linked to other behavioral activities known to be modulated by OA.

[Surgery of multi-sutured craniosynostosis in childhood].

According to own critical experience with the treatment of craniosynostoses (1954-81), using various methods from partial morcellement to total ablation of the cranial vault, the author applied (1982-2000) compound surgical decompression in 40 cases of turricephalic craniostenosis due to multisutural craniosynostosis. The surgical approach to the problem was supported by pre- and postoperative observations of computed three-dimensional bone reconstruction, furthermore by investigation of alterations of SPECT detecting the critical areas of most pronounced intracranial tightness of the skull leading to localized and general cerebral blood flow impairment of the developing brain. The application of newer diagnostic methods contributed to deeper understanding of mechanisms concerning neurodevelopmental retardation and behaviour or defect, disturbances as epilepsy, cranial nerve palsy, spastic paresis, hypothalamic-pituitary insufficiency or poor intelectual performance.

[Surgical treatment of symptomatic surgery in children using classical techniques versus extended lesion surgery and focal lesion surgery].

In a series of 2400 children 80% had favourablly responded to medication, 60% are seizure-free and in 20% there was significant improvement in further 20% any medication has failed. 200 children have been operated upon because of epilepsy resistant to pharmacological treatment., in 80 = 3% classical methods of removal of the epileptogenic substrate (lobectomies, hemisphereectomies, topectomies and disconnective techniques) have been applied.

[Surgical treatment of clinical syndromes of intractable epilepsy in developmental age].

According to a longterm cathamnestic investigation in a series of 2400 patients 80% had favorably responded to medication, 60% are seizure free and in 20% there was significant improvement. In further 20% any therapy has had failed. 200 children have been operated upon because of epilepsy resistant to pharmacological treatment.

[Infection of the shunt system in children treated for hydrocephalus].

From 1983 to 1988 25 infected shunt systems were found in 205 hydrocephalic children. Four children were treated successfully with antibiotics given into the shunt system and intravenously. Seventeen shunt systems had to be removed and Rikham reservoir or external drainage implanted.

The critical evaluation of the late results after temporal lobectomy performed because of medically refractory complex partial epilepsy (CPE).

Basing on a follow-up study till 27 years of a group of 50 young patients suffering on medically refractory complex partial epilepsy which were treated by temporal lobectomy the author has reached a complete seizure-free result in 66% of them. A critical evaluation of the transient disadaptation syndrome and of a permanent amnesic syndrome in a part of them as well as psychometric memory tests have been performed. The pathophysiological interpretation of the results and selection criteria for the efficient temporal lobectomy have been proposed.

[Neurosurgical treatment of developmental defects of the nervous system (ddns) in infants].

In a survey of 151 children treated surgically in the earliest period of life the author discusses the complex pathomechanism of damage to the nervous tissues in various age groups indicating important elements in the surgical management which may prevent secondary changes impairing human development in further life periods. In the follow-up 89.4% of children the previously inhibited development was resumed, at the level determined by the preserved nervous structure.

[Intrauterine neurosurgical intervention in a case of congenital hydrocephalus].

The authors point to new perspectives of fetosurgery development in Poland describing a case of hydrocephalus with intracranial haematoma treated by an intrauterine procedure under USG control. After birth the newborn was subjected to an operation for coexistent myelomeningocele and ventriculo-atrial shunt was implanted for prevention of secondary hydrocephalus development. Attention is called to the necessity of observation of indications to these operations, and precise ultrasonographic teratological diagnosis.

The comprehensive management of brain neoplasms in children.

The author presents the theoretical basis and the complex treatment of brain neoplasms performed in 26 cases in the Paediatric Institute of the Medical Academy in Poznań (Poland) and compares the results with a control group of 13 children exclusively surgically treated. The cathamnestic analysis (till 4 years), using the Karnowsky Rating Scale for evaluation of the results, has shown the superiority of the complex treatment in children, hence the percentage of deaths is four times lower and the favourable clinical course two times more frequent in this group.

[Clinical course of post-traumatic epilepsy in children].

The authors review critically the traditionally accepted views on post-traumatic epilepsy in children. The analysis is based on 385 children hospitalized for craniocerebral injuries and 42 of these children (10.91%) in whom post-traumatic epilepsy developed.

[Epilepsy as an emergency condition].

The authors analysed 175 calls for the Ambulance Service in the City of Poznań to patients with epilepsy and suggest a schema of emergency therapeutic management and instructions for ambulance personnel for avoiding possible diagnostic and therapeutic errors.
