Introduction: This study used the Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment, and Adaptation to explore family factors associated with primary female caregivers' appraisals of children's behaviors, distortion of their appraisals, and children's risk of having behavioral problems.

Method: A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. Data were collected from female caregivers of preschoolers. Instruments measured demographic characteristics, comfort in parenting, appraisal of behaviors, daily and parenting stress, depressive symptoms, social support, ratings of children's behaviors, and distortion in ratings. Analyses included χ and simultaneous linear regression.

Results: Greater parenting discomfort and daily stress were associated with lower appraisals of children's behaviors. Caucasian race and higher distortion in behavioral ratings were associated with higher risk of behavioral problems. Caregiver's appraisal was associated with daily stress level and parenting comfort.

Discussion: Additional research is needed regarding how these factors affect children's behavior and causes of distorted parental views of children's behaviors.

Background: Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals are increasingly intentionally becoming pregnant to raise children, and hospital websites should reflect these trends. For prospective TGNB parents, a hospital website is the only way they can assess their safety from discrimination while receiving perinatal care. Cisnormativity enforced by communication gaps between medical institutions and TGNB patients can and has caused delays in receiving urgent care during their pregnancy.

Review article: Efficacy of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self-poisoning - A systematic review.

Serotonin toxicity is a potentially fatal condition caused by increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. Cyproheptadine, a serotonergic antagonist, is recommended for treatment; however, there is a lack of evidence to support its use. The present study aimed to evaluate the evidence for the use of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self-poisoning.

Bicuspidization of Insufficient Neoaortic Valve After Arterial Switch With Looping Coronary Anatomy.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

September 2023

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.

Neoaortic root dilation is inevitable in the years after an arterial switch operation, not uncommonly leading to neoaortic valve insufficiency that requires reoperation. Here we present a bicuspidization repair technique for addressing such neoaortic valve insufficiency in a child with the 1L 2RCx coronary pattern who underwent the arterial switch operation as a neonate for dextro-transposition of the great arteries that has good short-term outcomes thus far.
