Justice beliefs for self and others: Associations with positive and negative affectivity in African Americans and White Americans.

Prior research has shown that a belief in personal justice (i.e., justice for self) is associated with better health and well-being, whereas a belief in justice more generally (i.

[Redox status parameters in adolescent-mongoloids with exogenously constitutional obesity and fatty hepatosis].

It is assumed that in the progression of obesity, complicated by fatty hepatosis in adolescents, a significant role is given to the reactions of oxidative stress with deficiency of antioxidant factors. However, an important factor that remains outside the field of view of researchers is the ethnicity of the patient, which is an important element in the development of a personalized approach in the treatment and prevention of diseases. In connection with this, the purpose of this study was to study the changes in the lipid peroxidation-antioxidant defense processes in adolescent Mongoloids with exogenously constitutional obesity complicated by fatty hepatosis.

Positive and negative affectivity, stress, and well-being in African-Americans: Initial demonstration of a polynomial regression and response surface methodology approach.

Objective: The extent to which positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect conjointly impact well-being is not yet well understood. Additionally, research investigating the role of affectivity in maintaining well-being among ethnic and racial minorities is scant. The current research demonstrates how polynomial regression and response surface methodology (PR and RSM) may be used to better understand how PA and NA jointly influence stress and well-being.

Patient Involvement: A New Source of Stress in Health Care Work?

Patients have become increasingly well informed with higher expectations to be involved in decision-making processes regarding their care and treatment. However, few studies have examined the impact of patient involvement on health care providers' partnership-building communication. The aim of this study was to measure and explore the self-reported effects of patient involvement on the work of physicians and nurses.

[Intracardiac Thrombosis in a Child With Hereditary Thrombophilia].

A child who had undergone subclavian vein catheterization in the neonatal period was hospitalized in a grave condition at the age of 1 year 7 months with echocardiographic signs of right ventricular thrombus. Further examination revealed low level of protein C and mutations in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 genes. Basing on this observation, the authors recommend purposeful search for genetic thrombophilia in children with history of prolonged catheterization of veins and prophylactic anticoagulation therapy in case of positive result.
