Associations among PTSD symptoms, fear of emotion, and couple communication difficulties: A between-person dyadic analysis.

This study investigated between-person associations among PTSD symptoms, fear of emotion, and perceived couple communication difficulties in a dyadic context among 64 trauma-exposed, mixed gender community couples (N = 128 individuals) using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model. Individuals with higher PTSD symptoms endorsed greater fear of their emotions (β = .72; β = .

Interparental conflict spillover: Examining parental depression risk pathways.

Spillover from interparental conflict (IPC) to the parent-child relationship is a risk factor for adolescent emotional, social, and behavioral maladjustment. Parental depression increases the risk for more frequent and intense IPC over periods of months to years, but relatively little is known about whether parental depressive symptoms increase the risk for IPC and/or the propensity for spillover on short timescales. Using daily diary methods, we tested two hypotheses to evaluate whether parental depressive symptoms predict increased risk for IPC spillover: (a) a , in which higher levels of parental depressive symptoms are associated with a greater tendency to experience IPC, which elevates risk for spillover, and (b) a , in which parental depressive symptoms strengthen the within-person linkage between daily couple conflict and poorer parent-adolescent relations.

Future risk of metabolic syndrome after recurrent pregnancy loss: a cohort study using UK Biobank.

Objective: To evaluate the risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) after recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) using UK Biobank data. A history of pregnancy loss is associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases in the future. However, the association between RPL and subsequent MS is poorly understood.

Long term renal outcome after hypertensive disease during pregnancy: a nationwide population-based study.

Objective: Hypertensive disease during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality and leads to the development of multi-organ dysfunction, including kidney dysfunction. Complicated pregnancies require careful postpartum management to prevent sequelae. It is believed that kidney injury can consistently occur even after delivery; therefore, defining the chronicity and endpoint is essential for establishing diagnostic criteria.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease as a risk factor for adverse outcomes in subsequent pregnancy: a nationwide cohort study.

Background And Purpose: A recent international expert consensus opinion suggested that metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) replaces nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), since MAFLD is a better predictor of cardiovascular disease. We estimated the prevalence of FLD in fertile females and evaluated the clinical impact of either NAFLD or MAFLD on maternal and fetal outcomes during subsequent pregnancy.

Methods: The study population included fertile females who underwent health examinations and became pregnant within 1 year of health examination.

Patients' self-management of adverse events and patient-reported outcomes in advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with targeted therapies: A prospective, longitudinal, observational study.

Chrysanthemum Morifolium Extract And Ascorbic Acid-2-Glucoside (AA2G) Blend Inhibits UVA-Induced Delayed Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer (CPD) Production In Melanocytes.

Background: Solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) induces DNA damages in skin via direct absorption of UVB or indirectly by photosensitization mediated through UVA. Recent findings have revealed that UVA induces cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) generation via chemiexcitation in melanocytes hours after the exposure. This UVA-induced delayed CPD (dark CPD) constitutes the majority of CPD in melanocytes.

Two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy and principal component analysis on the carbonation of sterically hindered alkanolamines.

Despite the academic and industrial importance of the chemical reaction between carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and alkanolamine, the delicate and precise monitoring of the reaction dynamics by conventional one-dimensional (1D) spectroscopy is still challenging, due to the overlapped bands and the restricted static information. Herein, we report two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopy (2D IR COS) and principal component analysis (PCA) on the reaction dynamics of a sterically hindered amine, 2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]ethanol (TBAE) and CO(2). The formation of carbonate rather than carbamate species, which contribute to the unusual high working capacity of ∼1 mole CO(2) per mole of TBAE at 40 °C, occurs through deprotonation of the hydroxyl group, protonation on the nitrogen atom of the amino group, and formation of a carbonate species due to the steric hindrance of the tert-butyl group.

Interesterification of olive oil with a fully hydrogenated fat in a batch reactor using step changes in temperature.

Interesterification of a 60:40 (wt/wt) mixture of olive oil and fully hydrogenated canola oil was carried out in a batch reactor using a commercial immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginose as a biocatalyst. The effects of a stepwise change of temperature on the degree of conversion, the solid fat content (SFC) of the products, and the residual activity of the enzyme were investigated. As a reference condition, an interesterification trial was conducted at a constant temperature of 70 degrees C for 48 h.
