Likewise, type D personality is associated with higher burnout levels; thus, it may contribute to the development of diseases symptoms. The current study was designed to examine the coping strategies in young healthy persons with personality type D.

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Kudzu Roots and Soy Molasses against Pediatric Tumors and Phytochemical Analysis of Isoflavones Using HPLC-DAD-ESI-HRMS.

Pediatric solid tumors (PSTs) are life-threatening and can lead to high morbidity and mortality rates in children. Developing novel remedies to treat these tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme and sarcomas, such as osteosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma, is challenging, despite immense attempts with chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic interventions. Soy () and kudzu roots (KR) ( spp.

[Secondary jaw deformities accompanying tumors and tumor-like formations in children and adolescents].

Clinical follow-up of children aged 2 to 14 with tumors and tumor-like formations permitted diagnose secondary deformations of maxillary bones in 44. Symptomatology of these deformations had signs which distinguished intraosteally growing tumors from extraosseous ones localized in soft tissues adjacent to jaw bones. Good results were attained with the use of protective labial and buccal plates which not only shielded bone formations from tumor pressure before surgery but created a support for compressive dressing during sclerosing therapy of vascular tumors in children.
