We investigated if caregiving intensity and duration affected cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks and diagnosis and whether the relationship differed by race and ethnicity in family caregivers (FCGs) of persons with dementia. We conducted a secondary analysis of the 2015-2020 CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data using a logistic regression analysis. A total of 6132 dementia FCGs were included. We found that the more time FCGs spent providing care per week (intensity) or over time (duration), the more likely they reported CVD risks and diagnosis. However, the associations between caregiving intensity and CVD risks and diagnosis did not differ by race and ethnicity, nor did the associations between caregiving duration and the outcomes. These findings suggest future studies should be conducted to develop preventive strategies for FCGs' cardiovascular health. Further work is needed to identify the impact of race and ethnicity on the relationship between caregiving conditions and CVD with larger samples of racial and ethnic minorities.

Unlabelled: Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) supports early social communication skills in young autistic children. Given their emphasis on child-led learning opportunities, NDBI is thought to be a socially valid approach to autism early intervention. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) practices could be an ideal setting to increase access to NDBIs for young autistic children; however, current ABA services continue to rely primarily on structured and adult-led approaches to teaching, including discrete trial training (DTT), which have been criticized for their intensity, limitations in skill generalization, and possible harms.

Background: Parental burnout - a condition characterised by intense exhaustion related to parenting, emotional distancing from one's children, a loss of parental fulfilment, and a lack of recognition of oneself as the parent used and wanted to be - is particularly critical during the perinatal period. While previous research has focused mainly on mothers, suggesting that dispositional and couple factors influence parental burnout more than sociodemographic factors, little is known about fathers' experiences and the influence of personality and couple functioning on parental burnout.
Method: This cross-sectional study examined the impact of personality functioning (Level of Personality Functioning Scale - Brief Form 2.

Even though venetoclax in combination with azacitidine (VenAza) is considered a low-intensity regimen, its patients present a high incidence of cytopenia and infections during the first courses, making the initial management a challenging phase. This difficulty in our center led to the establishment of an At-Home (AH) program for ramp-up and follow-up patients during the VenAza combination induction phase focused on therapy administration, patient and caregiver education, and management of adverse events (AEs). A total of 70 patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (ND-AML) or relapsed/refractory AML (R/R AML) were treated with VenAza from March 2019 to May 2022.
