- Early maladaptive schemas, which are negative patterns of thinking, are notably impacted in adolescents with ADHD, with limited research compared to adult studies.
- The study involved 66 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and 70 healthy peers, using various evaluation scales to assess their mental health and schemas.
- Results indicated that ADHD participants had higher scores in several maladaptive schemas compared to the control group, and while age negatively influenced some schemas, factors like gender, parental education, and family income didn’t show significant differences.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted with 1703 males and 139 female partners in Turkey to measure average penis size and evaluate couples' perspectives on its importance for sexual satisfaction.
- The findings showed that the average flaccid penis length was 8.44 cm and the average stretched length was 12.27 cm, with girth measuring 8.23 cm; both males and females considered erect length and girth important for sexual pleasure.
- Despite the participants' beliefs about the significance of penis size, comparisons indicated no major difference between average measurements and ideal lengths, suggesting many men may not need surgery to meet perceived standards.
Background: The aim of this study is the evaluation of a closed-loop oxygen control system in pediatric patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).
Methods: Cross-over, multicenter, randomized, single-blind clinical trial. Patients between the ages of 1 month and 18 years who were undergoing IMV therapy for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) were assigned at random to either begin with a 2-hour period of closed-loop oxygen control or manual oxygen titrations.
In this study, the aim was to evaluate the preferences and experiences interventions among women in Turkey. A total of 347 women who gave birth vaginally participated in this analytical cross-sectional study. Data were collected using the face-to-face interview technique in the clinic rooms within the first 24 hours after delivery, when the women's babies were asleep, allowing the mothers to comfortably answer the questions before discharge.
