Using a sample of 193 Mexican American adolescents ( age at Wave 1 = 14) and three waves of data over two years, this study longitudinally examined the effects of parent-youth acculturation differences, relative to no differences, on parent-adolescent relationship quality and youth problem behavior. We examined parent-youth differences in , , and We differentiated between cases in which the adolescent was more acculturated than the parent and cases in which the parent was more acculturated than the adolescent. Adolescents were more commonly similar to their parents than different. Where differences existed, adolescents were not uniformly more American than their parents, no type of difference was associated with parent-adolescent relationship quality, and no type of difference in overall acculturation was associated with youth problem behavior. One type of difference by dimension (adolescent had less than mother) was associated with less risk of problem behavior.

Hannover Medical School, Institute of Pharmacology, D-30625, Hannover, Germany.

The increasing supply shortages of antibacterial drugs presents significant challenges to public health in Germany. This study aims to predict the future consumption of the ten most prescribed antibacterial drugs in Germany up to 2040 using ARIMA (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average) models, based on historical prescription data. This analysis also evaluates the plausibility of the forecasts.

Introduction: Substance use disorders, particularly alcohol use disorders, represent a significant public health problem, with adolescents particularly vulnerable to their adverse effects. This study examined the possible anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of biotin, a crucial vitamin for brain function, in attenuating the behavioral and neurobiological changes associated with alcohol withdrawal in adolescent rats.

Materials And Methods: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a 20% ethanol solution for 21 days, followed by a 21-day drug-free period to assess long-term behavioral and physiological changes.

Objective: To increase the number of episodes of vitamin D teaching in the primary care setting for parents of human milk-fed infants and to explore pediatric clinicians' knowledge of vitamin D supplementation in human milk-fed infants and their perception of project intervention usefulness.

Design: Quality improvement project using a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design.

Setting/local Problem: Despite recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, vitamin D supplementation adherence rates for human milk-fed infants remain low.

Many biological systems operate near the physical limits to their performance, suggesting that aspects of their behavior and underlying mechanisms could be derived from optimization principles. However, such principles have often been applied only in simplified models. Here, we explore a detailed mechanistic model of the gap gene network in the embryo, optimizing its 50+ parameters to maximize the information that gene expression levels provide about nuclear positions.
