Background: We decided to assess the health problems of internationally adopted children in Spain.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of 135 medical records from the Hospital Niño Jesus, Madrid. The prevalence of malnutrition, anemia, parasitosis and other acquired and congenital diseases was studied.
Results: 18.9% of children were considered completely healthy; 37.8% children had a single disease and 43.3% had two or more. 32.3% were found to have anemia, 30.2% parasitosis and 25.2% malnutrition.
Conclusions: The high morbidity figures observed in our study reinforces the need of special medical care in this group of children.

Medical and pharmacological advancements have influenced the ability to treat acutely ill neonates. However, complications of prematurity mean that death is unpreventable in some cases. The aim of this study was to explore parents' lived experiences of end of life care and their perceptions of support needs during and following the death of their baby in neonatal intensive care units in the United Kingdom.

Anxiety, a mental state in healthy individuals, is characterized by apprehension of potential future threats. Though the neurobiological basis of anxiety has been investigated widely in the clinical populations, the underly mechanism of neuroanatomical correlates with anxiety level in healthy young adults is still unclear. In this study, 1080 young adults were enrolled from the Human Connectome Project Young Adult dataset, and machine learning-based elastic net regression models with cross validation, together with linear mix effects (LME) models were adopted to investigate whether the neuroanatomical profiles of structural magnetic resonance imaging indicators associated with anxiety level in healthy young adults.
