The purpose of this study was to describe the universal and health deviation self-care of adolescents with Type 1 diabetes and the associations of basic conditioning factors with universal and health deviation self-care. Subjects for this study were 152 adolescents aged between 11 and 15 years with a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Data were collected in the home setting of each adolescent and his or her family. The mean universal self-care scores ranged from 66.62% to 90%. The overall mean for this sample was 75.37, indicating that these adolescents took care of their self-care needs 75% of the time. Health deviation self-care was a mean of 27.26, indicating more positive self-care behaviors and treatment adherence. Health deviation and universal self-care were significantly and positively related (r = .36, p < .001). Ethnicity and adolescent sex were statistically significant in predicting universal self-care. Adolescent age was statistically significant in predicting health deviation self-care. Health deviation self-care decreases with age, suggesting that early adolescence or late school age is an appropriate time for interventions to strengthen self-care behaviors. Furthermore, the interrelationship of the two types of self-care supports the potential for a synergistic effect of intervention.

Feasibility of generating sagittal radiographs from coronal views using GAN-based deep learning framework in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Eur Radiol Exp

Background: Minimizing radiation exposure is crucial in monitoring adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have emerged as valuable tools being able to generate high-quality synthetic images. This study explores the use of GANs to generate synthetic sagittal radiographs from coronal views in AIS patients.

Introduction: Little is known about the symptom burden of breast cancer survivors with early-stage disease. Many studies have focused on symptoms of patients who are undergoing or recently completed systemic therapy. However, with the increased use of Oncotype DX, the proportion of early-stage hormone receptor-positive patients who undergo chemotherapy has declined, making existing studies of the symptom experience less useful for these patients.

Background And Aims: The prevalence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease has increased in parallel with a rise in consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF), but little is known about their association.
Methods: We cross-sectionally examined associations of UPF with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in 2,458 (mean age 54 years; 55.9% women) community-dwelling adults who completed vibration-controlled transient elastography and a food frequency questionnaire.
Plasma Alkylresorcinols is an objective biomarker for gluten intake in young children.

Department of Clinical Sciences, Lund university, Malmö, Sweden; Department of Pediatrics, Skåne University Hospital, Malmö. Sweden. Electronic address:
Background: Alkylresorcinols are a well-established biomarker for whole grain intake. There is evidence suggesting that total plasma alkylresorcinol concentration may also be used as a biomarker for gluten intake in adults.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if total alkylresorcinol concentration is a valid biomarker for gluten intake in young children.
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Cariprazine - Updated Values for a Dose-Related Reference Range.

Dose-related reference ranges can be used in therapeutic drug monitoring to monitor pharmacotherapy. The deviation of a measured serum concentration from the expected serum concentration at the corresponding dose can thus be identified early and responded to appropriately. The serum concentrations of patients treated with cariprazine regularly deviated from this dose-related reference range.
