Life Satisfaction among Unaccompanied Refugee Minors: Associations with Traumatic Events and Daily Hassles
AbstractWhile there is a growing literature about mental health problems among unaccompanied asylum-seeking and refugee minors (URMs), far less is known about their wellbeing. Such information is important as a subjective sense of wellbeing is associated with a variety of positive health and psychosocial outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine life satisfaction and the association with traumatic events, daily hassles, and asylum status among URMs in Norway. We collected self-report questionnaire data from URMs living in Norway (n = 173, 90.80% male, 71.1% from Afghanistan). Mean age was 16.62 (SD = 1.74) y...

Variation in performing kidney biopsy amongst nephrologists in the Asia-Pacific region: A multinational survey
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that despite the availability of training and access to USG, a significant number of nephrologists are not performing KB in the APR. Similar to the trends observed in Western countries, the observed pattern in the APR could be due to lack of time, less incentive, hospital policy, or interest of nephrologists in other aspects of intervention nephrology.PMID:38156781 | DOI:10.5414/CN111203 (Source: Clinical Nephrology)

The Exploration of the GWOT Combat Amputee's Experience With Longitudinal Care: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: Based on the research question, this study found an intricate relationship between mental health, pain, and the experiences of the participants regarding their care and rehabilitation. However, the nature of qualitative research makes it impossible to determine generalizations that can be used to create meaningful change to address improving combat amputee veteran care. Further research into long-term health outcomes based on hypotheses not evaluated in existing literature would further improve the ability of health care providers to care for this unique patient population.PMID:38150398 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usa...

Tick-borne encephalitis —a substantial increase in cases in Western Europe
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a severe viral disease that predominantly affects the central nervous system. This debilitating condition is caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), and while historically rare in Western Europe, it has been endemic in forested regions of Asia and eastern Europe. There has been a substantial increase in cases observed this year in Western Europe. We therefore welcome the authoritative Commentary piece published in this issue of the Journal by Dr. Neyhazi and colleagues from Ghalib University, Afghanistan, on this worrying trend. They highlight that over a ×7-year period (2016...

Nikita Rao, Jessica Kumar, Erin A. Weeks, Shannon Self-Brown, Cathleen E. Willging, Mary Helen O'Connor, Daniel J. Whitaker Journal of Children's Services, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- Parent–child relationships formed in early childhood have profound implications for a child’s development and serve as a determinant for bio-social outcomes in adulthood. Positive parenting behaviors play a strong role in this development and are especially impactful during times of crisis because they buffer stressors that may lead to externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Children of forced migrants experience num...
