Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Family conflict is a stressor for dementia family caregivers, yet its impact may differ based on the relationship between caregivers and their recipients. This study's objectives were to categorize caregivers into groups based on family conflict, examine whether the relationship to the recipient influences group membership, and determine whether these groups are associated with engaging in abusive and neglectful behaviors.
Research Design And Methods: This national, cross-sectional study of 453 dementia family caregivers used latent class analysis to generate groups based on family conflict and abuse accusations. A multinomial logistic regression determined if relationship type (i.e., being a spouse, child, or grandchild to the care recipient or having a nontraditional relationship) predicted group membership. Groups were examined as predictors of abusive and neglectful behaviors using analysis of variance.
Results: A 4-class solution emerged as the best fit: 3 groups with varying probabilities of family conflict and 1 group with elevated probabilities of abuse and neglect accusations. Relationship typed predicted membership in these classes. Group membership predicted abusive and neglectful behaviors.
Discussion And Implications: Adult children were more likely to experience high amounts of family conflict, whereas nontraditional caregivers were less likely to experience abuse and neglect accusations. Membership in the accusations group was a unique risk factor for abusive and neglectful behaviors. These findings support the need for continued investigation of family conflict in dementia caregivers. They also call to examine how family relationship types, including nontraditional family structures, influence caregiving outcomes.

Impact of genetic test interpretation on a missense variant in Cohen syndrome.

Introduction: Cohen syndrome (CS) is an early-onset pediatric neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by postnatal microcephaly and intellectual disability. An accurate diagnosis for individuals with CS is crucial, particularly for their caretakers and future prospects. CS is predominantly caused by rare homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the vacuolar protein sorting-associated 13B () gene, which disrupt protein translation and lead to a loss of function (LoF) of the encoded VPS13B protein.

During the COVID-19 lockdown in China, the shift of family members' work and study to online platforms accelerated internet proliferation and led to a growing prominence of internet addiction among younger age groups, posing a threat to individual and societal health development. Previous research has primarily focused on upper-grade elementary students, with relatively less attention given to younger age groups, resulting in insufficient representativeness of the elementary student samples. Additionally, research exploring how parental addictive behaviors are associated with the mechanisms of internet addiction among elementary students has been limited, which affects the development of scientifically based and effective intervention measures for addressing internet addiction in this population.

Introduction: There is a notable scarcity of research examining the developmental trajectories of positive youth development (PYD) attributes among Chinese preadolescents and adolescents and the predictive effect of family functioning on these trajectories over time.
Methods: Using four waves of data, this longitudinal study investigated preadolescents and adolescents in China in January 2020 (T1), June 2020 (T2), June 2021 (T3), and June 2022 (T4). The study utilized the 90-item "Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale" and the 33-item "Chinese Family Assessment Instrument" to assess PYD and family functioning, respectively.

Effective communication is crucial in multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) within palliative care, where patient needs can be complex and multifaceted. This article examines the significance of communication in promoting collaborative, patient-centered care while addressing challenges such as professional jargon, hierarchical barriers, and the emotional strain associated with end-of-life care. Leadership plays a vital role in creating an environment of open dialogue, reducing hierarchical dynamics, facilitating conflict resolution, and supporting the emotional well-being of team members.

Neural invasion is one of the most common routes of invasion in pancreatic cancer and it is responsible for the high rate of tumor recurrence after surgery and the pain generation associated with pancreatic cancer. Several molecules implicated in neural invasion are also responsible for pain onset including NGF belonging to the family of neutrophins. NGF released by cancer cells can sensitize sensory nerves which in turn results in severe pain.
