Parental care and overprotection predict worry and anxiety symptoms in emerging adult students.

Anxiety disorders represent a prevalent mental health concern, with escalating rates, especially among emerging adults. University students, in particular, face a myriad of academic and life stressors that can amplify feelings of worry and anxiety. While early parental bonding seem to predict anxiety disorders later in life, the applicability to emerging adult students and its applicability to predict sub-clinical and transdiagnostic anxiety features remain unclear.

Late Holocene dietary and cultural variability on the Xingu River, Amazon Basin: A stable isotopic approach.

Although once considered a 'counterfeit paradise', the Amazon Basin is now a region of increasing interest in discussions of pre-colonial tropical land-use and social complexity. Archaeobotany, archaeozoology, remote sensing and palaeoecology have revealed that, by the Late Holocene, populations in different parts of the Amazon Basin were using various domesticated plants, modifying soils, building earthworks, and even forming 'Garden Cities' along the Amazon River and its tributaries. However, there remains a relatively limited understanding as to how diets, environmental management, and social structures varied across this vast area.

Testosterone treatment restores vestibular function by enhancing neuronal survival in an experimental closed-head repetitive mild traumatic brain injury model.

Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) results in a myriad of symptoms, including vestibular impairment. The mechanisms underlying vestibular dysfunction in rmTBI patients remain poorly understood. Concomitantly, acute hypogonadism occurs following TBI and can persist chronically in many patients.

An institutional review of recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland.

Objective: Surgical resection is standard treatment for pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the parotid gland. A small number (2-5%) of these tumors recur. Recurrence usually necessitates reoperation, which is technically challenging and puts the facial nerve (FN) at risk.
