The Role of Parental Reflective Functioning in Associations between Daily Autonomy-Relevant Parenting, Parenting Stress, and Early and Middle Adolescents' Day-to-Day Difficulties.

Autonomy-supportive parenting benefits adolescents' psychosocial adjustment, but daily fluctuations in adolescent difficulties and parenting stress can reduce autonomy support and lead to more controlling practices. However, currently it is not yet well understood why some parents seem better able to deal with the daily upheavals characteristic of adolescence, while other parents may resort to controlling practices. To address this gap, the present studies examined the moderating role of parental reflective functioning (i.

Evaluating Meaningful Changes in Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System-Fatigue Scores from Three Phase 3 Clinical Trials of Sarilumab for Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in fatigue measured by Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Fatigue scores in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who received sarilumab and to assess the proportion of patients achieving clinically meaningful change.

Methods: Data from three phase 3 randomized controlled trials of patients with RA who received sarilumab-MOBILITY, TARGET, and MONARCH-were evaluated. The 10 RA-relevant items from the 13-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue were scored in the PROMIS T score metric.

Understanding Parenting Stress in Adoptive Parents: A Longitudinal Multilevel Study of Parents' Self-Criticism, Child Negative Emotionality, and Child Age at Placement.

Introduction: Research on parenting stress in adoptive parents during the early years post-placement reveals significant variability, yet few studies examine both parent- and child-related factors. This study investigates the role of the personality dimension of self-criticism and perceived negative child emotionality in relation to parenting stress during the first four years after transnational adoption. Additionally, it explores the moderating effect of child age at placement, a key factor associated with early adversity.

Kaolinite bioformation at surface conditions: The role of fungi and bacteria.

Experiments aimed at studying the role of microorganisms in the formation of kaolinite from aluminosilicate solutions (Si:Al = 1:1) are reported. The experiments were carried out at room temperature in presence of living microorganisms, Leonardite humic acid, bacterial debris, bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS), and some organic ligands. The bacterial debris, EPS, Leonardite and organic ligands were chosen to stabilize Al in octahedral coordination for allowing the crystallization of kaolinite.

Effect of design and surgical parameters variations in mobile-bearing versus fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: A finite element analysis.

Purpose: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKAs) are available in the market as fixed- and mobile-bearing (FB and MB) and can be characterised by a different set of design parameters in terms of geometries, materials and surgical approaches, with overall good clinical outcomes. However, clear biomechanical evidence concerning the consequences of variations of these features on knee biomechanics is still lacking; therefore, the present study aims to perform a sensitivity analysis to see which outcomes are affected by these variations.

Methods: For both MB-UKA and FB-UKA, five design and surgical parameters were defined (bearing insert thickness, tibial component material, implant components friction coefficient, antero-posterior slope angle and level of tibial bone resection).
