How do children with focal epilepsies perceive the moment they realize that they are about to have a seizure? A pilot study.

Problem: A seizure is a challenging situation for children with epilepsy. Little is known regarding the experience of children who perceive in advance that they are about to have a seizure.

Methods: From September 2020 to February 2021, we invited children with focal epilepsies aged 6-18 years to participate in a semi-structured interview.

Interviews with children and adolescents with epilepsy or asthma about the situation of their healthy siblings.

Aim: Chronic conditions can influence the situation of healthy siblings of affected children. We investigated the opinion of the affected child about the situation of their healthy sibling and the sibling relationship.

Methods: We performed a semi-structured interview with epilepsy or asthma patients aged 6-18 years and asked them to draw a picture: "Epilepsy/Asthma, my siblings and me.

[Strategies of Emotion Regulation in Adolescents with Depression].

Strategies of Emotion Regulation in Adolescents with Depression The present study investigated differences between adolescents with a depressive disorder and control subjects in their adaptive und maladaptive regulation of negative emotions. We assessed emotion regulation strategies using the German self-report questionnaire FEEL-KJ in a sample of adolescents with depression (n = 57) and controls (n = 57). We found that adolescents with depression reported using less adaptive strategies and more maladaptive strategies for dealing with the negative emotions anxiety, sadness and anger than control subjects.

Recreational use in dispersed public lands measured using social media data and on-site counts.

Outdoor recreation is one of many important benefits provided by public lands. Data on recreational use are critical for informing management of recreation resources, however, managers often lack actionable information on visitor use for large protected areas that lack controlled access points. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential for social media data (e.

Implementation of Text-Messaging and Social Media Strategies in a Multilevel Childhood Obesity Prevention Intervention: Process Evaluation Results.

Social media and text messaging show promise as public health interventions, but little evaluation of implementation exists. The B'more Healthy Communities for Kids (BHCK) was a multilevel, multicomponent (wholesalers, food stores, recreation centers) childhood obesity prevention trial that included social media and text-messaging components. The BHCK was implemented in 28 low-income areas of Baltimore City, Maryland, in 2 waves.

[Adaptive and Maladaptive Strategies of Emotion Regulation in Adolescents with ADHD].

The present study investigated differences between adolescents with ADHD and control subjects in their adaptive und maladaptive regulation of negative emotions. We assessed emotion regulation strategies using the German self-report questionnaire FEEL-KJ in a sample of adolescents (between 11 and 18 years) with ADHD (disturbance of activity, impulsivity and attention: n = 32, hyperkinetic conduct disorder: n = 26) and controls (n = 58). We found that adolescents with ADHD reported using less adaptive strategies for dealing with negative emotions than control subjects.

Electrolysis induces gradients and domain orientation in agarose gels.

We have used small-angle light-scattering (SALS), microscopy, and measurements to study structural changes produced in unbuffered agarose gels as ions migrate under applied electric fields (3-20 V/cm). Anisotropic, bowtielike, light-scattering patterns were observed, whose development occurred more quickly at higher fields. The horizontal lobes were more pronounced at higher polymer concentration.
