This study examined three potential moderators of the relations between maternal parenting stress and preschoolers' adjustment problems: a genetic polymorphism-the short allele of the serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR, ss/sl allele) gene, a physiological indicator-children's baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), and a behavioral indicator-mothers' reports of children's negative emotionality. A total of 108 mothers (M = 30.68 years, SD = 6.06) reported on their parenting stress as well as their preschoolers' (M = 3.50 years, SD = 0.51, 61% boys) negative emotionality and internalizing, externalizing, and sleep problems. Results indicated that the genetic sensitivity variable functioned according to a differential susceptibility model; however, the results involving physiological and behavioral sensitivity factors were most consistent with a diathesis-stress framework. Implications for prevention and intervention efforts to counter the effects of parenting stress are discussed.

Department of Psychology and Human Development, Vanderbilt University.
Objective: The present study assessed two theory-driven mediators of the effects of a family group cognitive-behavioral (FGCB) preventive intervention for youth of parents with a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) or dysthymia on long-term youth psychopathology symptoms and diagnoses.
Method: Sample included 180 parents ( = 41.9, 89% female, 82% White, non-Hispanic) and one of their children/adolescents ages 9-15 years ( = 11.

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Background: Approximately 6.7 million people in the US are diagnosed with an Alzheimer's disease (AD), with greater incidence in women and minorities. Approximately 11 million family members provide uncompensated care to their family members with dementia, with more than 60% reporting high or very high levels of stress, a condition associated with increased risk for AD.

Adverse maternal control (MC) during childhood is believed to impact neural developmental pathways. Here we studied the associations between adverse MC and the volume of the dorsal striatum in older adults given evidence from the childhood adversity literature of structural reductions and altered reward processing.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Alzheimer's disease poses a growing health crisis in China, exacerbated by the country's rapidly aging population and cultural emphasis on family-based care. Caregivers shoulder immense physical and psychological burdens, often struggling to reconcile personal expectations with the demands of caregiving.
Method: This study based on ethnographic data collected through prolonged engagements with a family in urban China caring for an adult diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, explores the application of Role Theory.
Identifying Components of an Enhanced Recovery Pathway for Primary Cleft Palate Repair: A Scoping Review.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
January 2025
Department of Plastic Surgery, Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland.
Objective: This study aims to map the existing sources of evidence on perioperative care and recovery strategies for primary cleft palate repair, to identify elements that should be included in an enhanced recovery pathway (ERP), and to identify gaps in current knowledge.
Design: Scoping review.
Setting: ERPs are evidence-based, patient-centered, multimodal, perioperative care pathways designed to reduce surgical stress and improve postoperative outcomes and are increasingly being reported in the cleft lip and palate literature.
