The present study examined predictors of discrepancies between mothers', fathers', and teachers' ratings of 3-year-old children's hyperactivity, attention problems, and aggression. Participants were families of 196 3-year-old children who took part in child and family assessments. Ethnicity was one of the most consistent predictors of discrepancies. African American mothers and fathers were more likely to rate their children's hyperactivity, attention problems, and aggression lower than teachers. In contrast, Latina mothers were more likely to rate their children as more hyperactive and inattentive than teachers. ADHD/ODD diagnoses, parental depression, number of children, and children's pre-academic skills were also predictive of discrepancies for some measures for some informants. These findings provide insight into factors that may contribute to informant discrepancies in ratings of preschool children.

Affective predictors of social support in individuals with schizophrenia.

Schizophr Res

December 2024

Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University, Bronx, NY, United States of America.

Background: Social Support has been found to contribute to lower mental illness burden, higher treatment adherence, enhanced social functioning, and better quality of life. Individuals with schizophrenia report lower social support compared to non-clinical populations, yet the factors contributing to this discrepancy are not fully clear. Specifically, the person-related variables that may enhance or hinder SS in people with schizophrenia are unknown.

Background:  The integration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into clinical care, particularly in the context of cancer and multimorbidity, is crucial. While PROs have the potential to enhance patient-centered care and improve health outcomes through improved symptom assessment, they are not always adequately documented by the health care team.

Objectives:  This study aimed to explore the concordance between patient-reported symptom occurrence and symptoms documented in electronic health records (EHRs) in people undergoing treatment for cancer in the context of multimorbidity.

Volumetric Analysis of Orbital Volume Discrepancy as a Marker of Change in Globe Position After Three-Point Fixation of Zygomatic Complex Fractures.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg

December 2024

Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia; Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry for Girls, AL-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. Electronic address:

Background: Many researchers have proposed incorporating orbital volume (OV) discrepancies between the affected and unaffected orbits into routine diagnostic processes as an indicator for early surgical repair of zygomatic complex fractures (ZMCFxs) to avoid postoperative ocular complications.

Purpose: The study aimed to determine the correlation between the preoperative OV discrepancy and postoperative globe position.

Study Design, Setting, Sample: A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients with unilateral ZMCFxs associated with orbital floor fractures, treated at Al-Zahraa Hospital, Al-Azhar University, from January 2020 to July 2023.

Background: Patients diagnosed with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) often experience reduced pulmonary function and lung volume due to deformities in the spine and ribcage. Presurgical halo-pelvic traction (HPT) has been used to treat severe scoliosis before second-stage surgery. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate changes in lung volume post-HPT.
