Introduction: Attaining social success is a significant concern during early adolescence. The characteristics that youth believe will bring social success are known to change over time and vary across contexts, especially over the transition to middle school.
Methods: The analytic sample included 614 students (52% girls, 48% boys; 53% Black, 47% White) from the Midwestern United States.
Background: Hospital- and physician-level variation for selection of percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with coronary artery disease has been associated with outcome differences. However, most studies excluded patients treated medically.
Methods And Results: From 2010 to 2019, adults with 3-vessel or left main coronary artery disease at 3 hospitals (A, B, C) in Alberta, Canada, were categorized by treatment with medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, or CABG.
Article Synopsis
- The social climate of a classroom significantly influences students' academic engagement, but more research is needed on the impact of peer prosocial behavior.
- A study involving 905 middle school students examined how perceptions of classmates' prosocial behavior related to academic engagement over the school year.
- Results indicated that perceiving peers as helpful led to increased prosocial behavior in students, which in turn positively impacted their cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement in school.
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI) in young to middle-aged women.
Objectives: We aim to define the long-term natural history of SCAD.
Methods: We performed a multicenter, prospective, observational study of patients with nonatherosclerotic SCAD presenting acutely from 22 North American centers.
Background: Morphine is commonly used to relieve pain, anxiety and dyspnea in STEMI but it lowers blood pressure and delays the activity of oral antiplatelet agents. The impact of morphine on clinical outcomes remains unknown. This analysis was performed to determine if morphine use was associated with increased risk of adverse clinical events among STEMI patients treated with fibrinolytic therapy and clopidogrel or ticagrelor.
