AI Article Synopsis

  • Distress tolerance is linked to regular smoking, influencing factors like dependence, negative reinforcement, and craving, even when considering depressive and anxiety symptoms.
  • The study examines different aspects of distress tolerance (Tolerance, Appraisal, Regulation, Absorption) but finds they don't significantly impact smoking outcomes.
  • Overall, the findings indicate that while distress tolerance plays a key role in smoking behavior, specific subdimensions do not offer additional insights compared to the broader concept of distress tolerance.

Article Abstract

Distress tolerance-the capacity to withstand distressing states-is implicated in the etiology of regular smoking. The present study extends past research by examining whether relations between perceived distress tolerance and smoking-related factors: (1) differ across subdimensions of distress tolerance (Tolerance, Appraisal, Regulation, Absorption); (2) extend across measures of dependence, negative reinforcement smoking, and craving; and (3) are incremental to depressive and anxiety symptoms. Results showed that global distress tolerance was associated with measures of dependence, negative reinforcement, and craving even after controlling for affective symptomatology. Subdimensions of distress tolerance were not uniquely related to smoking outcomes in unadjusted or adjusted models. These findings suggest that: (a) distress tolerance is uniquely implicated in smoking over and above affective symptomatology; and (b) specific subdimensions of distress tolerance do not provide more information about smoking-related characteristics than global dimensions; and

The tolerance and dynamic regulation of the maternal immune system during pregnancy are pivotal for ensuring fetal health. Immune cell subsets play a complex and crucial role in this process, closely linked to the neonatal health status. Despite recognizing the significance of dysregulation in the quantity and activity of immune cells in neonatal disease occurrence, their specific roles remain elusive, resulting in a dearth of clinically viable interventions for immune-mediated neonatal diseases.

Purpose: Hypoxemia is a risk factor for mortality and long-term neuropsychological impairment during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a potential treatment for such cases but may not suffice. We aimed to evaluate the effects of pharmacological interventions for cardiac output (CO) control using ivabradine or beta-blockers for refractory hypoxemia during VV-ECMO.

Esophageal perforation (EP) resulting from nonaccidental trauma in a neonate is extremely rare. We report a previously healthy 12-day-old neonate presenting with stridor, respiratory distress, and bloody vomitus. Clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic evaluations confirmed the diagnosis of EP.
