The links between parenting, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Framed by attachment and cognitive theories, the current meta-analysis tested the direct and indirect links among parenting dimensions (parental support, authoritative control, psychological control, and behavioral control), self-esteem, and depressive symptoms for children and adolescents.

Methods: Based on 53 studies, and 74 independent samples, the present study used One-Stage Meta-analytic Structural Equation Modeling (OSMASEM) to investigate these links, including testing a mediation effect by self-esteem between parental support-, authoritative control-, psychological control-, behavioral control-, and depressive symptoms. It also tested for potential moderation effects by several variables.

Comparative study of the pure AH Plus sealer and its combination with triple antibiotic paste at different concentrations on bacteria.

Background: In this study, the effects of pure AH Plus sealer and its combination with triple antibiotic paste at different concentrations on bacteria have been investigated.

Materials And Methods: This study was accomplished by the means of a triple antibiotic paste combination (minocycline, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin) at different concentrations (0%, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 25%) with AH Plus sealer on bacteria. Sealers were set in an incubator for 1 h, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days, and then 10 µL of bacteria solution was placed on all samples except the negative control group.

Effects of parenting program components on parental stress: A systematic review and component network meta-analysis.

The present study tested the effectiveness and ranking of the different combinations of parenting program components in reducing parental stress at the first posttreatment measurement in treatment settings for parents of children with disruptive behaviors. Fifty-seven studies were identified. Six different combinations of parenting program components were compared to the inactive component (control group), based on five active components (psychoeducation [PE], behavior management [BM], relationship enhancement [RE], parental self-management [SM], and parent as a coach [PC]).

A Rare but Deadly Complication of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

We present a rare case of delayed coronary artery obstruction following a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Interestingly, the patient did not meet the criteria for traditionally recognized risk factors for delayed coronary obstruction. This case piques interest as to whether the severity of calcification on aortic valve leaflets plays any role in coronary obstruction post transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
