Building Blocks of Parent-Child Sex Communication: Body Talk During Infancy and Early Childhood.

The current study investigated how foundational conversations about the body and sexuality begin, how they develop longitudinally, and whether parental body talk varies as a function of characteristics of both the parent and child. Participants included 442 mothers ( age = 32.50,  = 5.

Cyanocyclopentadiene-Annulated Polycyclic Aromatic Radical Anions: Predicted Negative Ion Photoelectron Spectra and Singlet-Triplet Energies of Cyanoindene and Cyanofluorene Radical Anions.

Isomer-specific negative ion photoelectron spectra (NIPES) of cyanoindene (CHCN) and cyanofluorene (CHN), acquired through the computation of Franck-Condon (FC) factors that utilize harmonic vibrational frequencies and normal mode vectors derived from density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis sets, are reported. The adiabatic electron affinity (EA) values of the ground singlet (S) and the lowest lying triplet (T) states are used to predict site-specific S-T energies (Δ). The vibrational spectra of the S and T states are typified by ring distortion and ring C-C stretching vibrational progressions.

Longitudinal associations between parents' prosocial behavior and media use and young children's prosocial development: The mediating role of children's media use.

Research has found that media is associated with children's prosocial behavior (PB) from an early age, and that parents play a key role in children's media use and behavior. However, few studies explore these relations as early as infancy while also controlling for well-established predictors of PB (e.g.

Predictors of Initial CPAP Prescription and Subsequent Course with CPAP in Patients with Central Sleep Apneas at a Single Center.

Purpose: Guidelines recommend considering an initial trial of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat central sleep apnea (CSA). However, practice patterns vary widely. This study investigated predictors for an initial trial of CPAP in patients with central apneas and whether those factors predict adequate treatment response in patients receiving an initial CPAP trial.
