Parental Stress, Learned Helplessness, and Perceived Social Support in Mothers of Children with Hearing Loss and Mothers of Typically Developing Children.

Hearing loss in children can have a detrimental impact on their development, thus lowering the psychological well-being of parents. This study examined the amount of parental stress, learned helplessness, and perceived social support in mothers of children with hearing loss (MCHL) and mothers of typically developing children (MTDC), as well as the relationship between various possible contributing factors to parental stress such as learned helplessness and perceived social support. Three questionnaires measured parental stress (Parental Stress Scale; PSS), learned helplessness (Learned Helplessness Scale; LHS), and perceived social support (Perceived Social Support-Friends PSS-Fr and Perceived Social Support-Family PSS-Fa Scale) in 100 MCHL and 90 MTDC.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome on the Operating Room Table After a Robotic Radical Nephrectomy: A Case Report.

An elderly patient with renal cell carcinoma underwent a robotic nephrectomy. After an uneventful intraoperative period, soon after extubation she developed generalized seizures and was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) on neuroimaging. Management included antiepileptic and antihypertensive therapies, necessitating intensive care and neurorehabilitation.

First genome-specific development, characterization and validation of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in , a commercially important bamboo of India.

The natural population of have not been genetically enumerated due to a lack of genome sequence information or robust species-specific molecular marker. The present study was conducted to develop and validate genome-wide de novo simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers in through shallow-pass genome sequencing. The genome sequence data of about 13 Gb was generated using Illumina technology, and high-quality sequence reads were de novo assembled into 1,390,995 contigs with GC content 42.
