[STRESS DUE TO THE WORK-LIFE CONFLICT: ADVICES FROM APPLIED RESEARCH FOR COPING IT].

Unlike most of the work-related stress research, which emphasizes how to manage stressors and maximize the psychological well-being, the present article focuses on one particular kind of stressor: the experience of conflict or interference between demands at work and responsibilities and commitments outside of the work setting, especially in respect offamily life and one's personal life. Referred to as "work-family conflict" or (more recently) "work-life conflict", this stressor has been demonstrated in research since the 1990s to exert a considerable impact on individuals' well-being along with other areas such as family functioning and even performance on the job. In contrast to the intra-role conflict, which refers to interference between roles within a single domain (e.

The effect of prebiotics in the management of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia.

Background: Breast milk oligosaccharides such as galacto-oligosaccharides (scGOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (lcFOS) can influence the intestinal microbial flora. The latter, in turn, can modulate several intestinal and extraintestinal functions, including bilirubin metabolism. Supplementing infant formula with a prebiotic mixture might then be a novel and safe intervention to manage mild neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia.

A comparison of nasal intermittent versus continuous positive pressure delivery for the treatment of moderate respiratory syndrome in preterm infants.

Aim: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation have both been proposed as a form of gentle respiratory support for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. We have compared these two respiratory support methods in the management of early stages of mild-moderate, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

Methods: A prospective, randomized trial was performed enrolling 88 consecutive preterm infants with mild to moderate respiratory distress syndrome matched for birthweight, gestational age, sex, admission FiO2 and Apgar scores.
