The high consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) among adolescents can increase the prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases. Educating adolescents through videos related to UPF consumption may increase knowledge and potentially change their behaviors to choose healthier foods.This study aimed educating adolescents through videos related to UPF consumption may potentially increase their knowledge regarding nutrition and change their behavior to choose healthier foods. We used Research and Development (R&D) approach by adopting the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model. The study subjects were a content expert, a linguist, a media expert, and a small group of adolescents. Data were collected using questionnaires and descriptively analyzed. Assessment results from the three experts were 77.1%, 80.0%, and 70.0%, respectively, with an averaged score of 75.1%, suggesting that the educational videos developed were valid, requiring only minor revisions. The revised videos were then validated on a small group of adolescents, with averaged score of 83.90% rendering the videos highly valid to be used as a nutrition education media. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the developed videos about UPF are suitable for use as a nutrition educational media for adolescents.

Reflective functioning and emotion regulation in adolescents with a history of sexual offending: a comparative study with a non-offending control group

BackgroundSexual offenses encompass a diverse array of behaviors across various contexts, affecting numerous individuals. Despite the prevalence of sexual offending among adolescents, there is still a limited understanding of this population. To contribute further to the literature in this field, the present study was conducted to compare a group of male adolescents convicted of sexual offenses with a control group in terms of reflective functioning (RF), emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and emotion dysregulation (ED).Methods60 male adolescents aged 12 to 18 years (M = 16.90; SD = 0.97) who had been convicted of at least one serious sexual offense were recruited from male adolescents referred by juvenile courts to the Legal Medicine Organization in Mashhad, Iran, and compared with a control group of non-offending adolescents consisting of 60 male adolescents aged 12 to 18 years (M = 16.97; SD = 0.82) who were attending school. The groups were matched on age and education level.ResultsA comparison between these two groups revealed that adolescents with a history of sexual offending exhibited poorer RF capacity, greater use of suppression as an ER strategy, and higher scores in all ED domains (p’s < 0.001) except non-acceptance of emotional responses compared with the control group.ConclusionsResults suggest that RF, ER strategies, and ED need to be considered as important psychological factors in understanding and treating adolescents with a history of sexual offending.

The role of Cardiotrophin-1 and echocardiography in early detection of subclinical diabetic cardiomyopathy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

To assess the role of Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) and echocardiography in early detection of subclinical Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in children with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D). This case-control study included two groups of children and adolescents aged between 7 and 18. Group (1) included forty patients with T1D (duration > 5 years) regularly followed at the children's hospital of Cairo University, and Group (2) included forty age and sex-matched healthy subjects as a control group. The serum level of CT-1 was measured, and conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), and 2D speckle tracking echocardiography were performed. The level of CT-1 in the cases ranged from 11 to 1039.4 pg/ml with a median (IQR) of 19.4 (16.60-25.7) pg/ml, while its level in the control group ranged from 10.8 to 162.6 pg/ml with a median (IQR) of 20.2 (16.2-24.8) pg/ml. CT-1 levels showed no statistically significant difference between cases and controls. Patients had significantly higher mean left ventricle E/E' ratio (p<0.001), lower mean 2D global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle (LV) (p<0.001), and lower mean GLS of the right ventricle (RV) (p<0.001) compared to controls. Ofpatients with diabetes, 75 % had LV diastolic dysfunction, 85 % had RV diastolic dysfunction, 97.5 % had LV systolic dysfunction, and 100 % had RV systolic dysfunction. Non-conventional echocardiography is important for early perception of subclinical DCM in patients with T1D. CT-1 was not specific for early detection of DCM.

&lt;p&gt;Self-concept, anxiety and academic performance in adolescents with ADHD: a comparative study&lt;/p&gt;

Introduction. The main objective of the study is to compare the anxiety levels, self-concept and academic performance of a group of adolescents with ADHD with an age-matched group without the disorder. Method. The sample consisted of a total of 93 adolescents (46 with ADHD and 47 without ADHD) with a mean age of 13.31 years (11-16 age range). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH), the Five-Factor Self-Concept Questionnaire (AF5), and their grade point average were used in the evaluation. Results. The results in primary education, indicated lower scores in social and physical self-concept and academic performance, and higher levels of state anxiety in adolescents with ADHD. The differences observed in secondary education were only in academic performance. Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the results, intervention strategies are proposed to improve academic skills and those related to self-concept in adolescents with ADHD.

Characteristics of childhood anaphylaxis in different age groups.

Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction that usually has a rapid onset and can be fatal. Presentations of childhood anaphylaxis vary widely in accordance with the triggers and the patient's age, geographical region and dietary and lifestyle habits. The medical records of 177 paediatric patients diagnosed with anaphylaxis between January 2021 and January 2024, whose disease progression was monitored at a single tertiary care centre, were reviewed retrospectively. The study included 177 patients diagnosed with anaphylaxis (107 males and 70 females with a median age of 48 months). The most common allergen responsible was food (53.7%). Egg allergy was the most common source of anaphylaxis, afflicting 35 patients (19.3%), while beta-lactam provoked the most common drug allergy, affecting 24 patients (13.6%). The most common organ involved was the skin (92.7%). When the patients were analysed by age group, there were more males in the infancy, preschool and school age groups, while there were more females in the adolescent group (p = 0.44). Food-induced anaphylaxis became less common with increasing age, whereas the rate of drug-induced anaphylaxis increased (p = 0.01 and p = 0.01, respectively). Cardiovascular system findings were observed more frequently in adolescents compared to other age groups (p = 0.003). Most cases stemming from a food allergy were mild, whereas most drug-induced cases were moderate or severe (p < 0.05). When severity was analysed by age group, mild cases in infants were more common than moderate to severe cases. The aetiological and clinical manifestations of childhood anaphylaxis vary among different age groups.

К оценке риска негативного воздействия электромагнитных полей сотовой связи на центральную нервную систему детей и подростков (Обзор). Часть 2. Параметры когнитивных процессов

This paper continues the authors’ review that dwells on modeling radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) and results obtained by measuring electroencephalography indicators, sensorimotor reactions, fatigue, work capacity, duration of an individual minute and the reproduction of a given rhythm in children and adolescents. Health risk assessment is always based on data obtained by either laboratory tests or epidemiological studies. This paper analyses publications that describe effects of RF EMF exposure, including Wi-Fi, on cognitive processes in children and adolescents as well as methodical approaches to investigating this exposure. However, there are few such studies; in particular, effects produced by Wi-Fi exposure on cognitive indicators of adolescents aged 14–17 years, were found only in two publications. Literature analysis has established that research findings do not always give an unambiguous estimation of RF EMF effects. The review covers the reasons for ambiguous interpretation of research results: a variable range of test-systems used for investigating indicators of cognitive processes; simultaneous analysis of single exposures including descriptions of ‘effect of improvement’ in indicators; changes in cognitive indicators registered for a group of children and adolescents in a wide age range. Nevertheless, most results give evidence of negative changes in attention and memory of children and adolescents. Given that, longitudinal studies are becoming especially relevant since they estimate changes in various indicators in dynamics, including those induced by changes in mobile phone use. The review highlights the relevance of comprehensive investigations with their focus on health outcomes of RF EMF exposure intrinsic to 5G technologies considering their global implementation.

Tyrosine hydroxylase expression and neuronal loss in the male and female adolescent ventral tegmental area

Adolescence is a critical period of development characterized by numerous behavioral and neuroanatomical changes. While studies of adolescent neurodevelopment typically compare adolescent age groups with young adults, there are fewer studies that assess developmental trajectories within the adolescent period. In the adolescent prefrontal cortex, some maturational changes take place linearly/chronologically, while others are associated specifically with pubertal onset. The adolescent ventral tegmental area (VTA), a primary source of forebrain dopamine, is relatively understudied during this period. In the present study, dopamine neuron number, total neuron number and tyrosine hydroxylase expression are assessed in the male and female rat VTA at three timepoints: postnatal day(P) 30 (pre-pubertal), P40 (post-pubertal for females, pre-pubertal for males) and P60 (post-pubertal). There was a non-significant trend for a reduction in total VTA neuron number between P30 and P60, but there was a significant reduction in dopamine neuron number across age. The expression of tyrosine hydroxylase did not change with age. However, in a second cohort of subjects, brain tissue was collected pre-pubertal, from recently post-pubertal males and females, and young adults. In this cohort, there was a sex-specific and transient decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase expression in recently post-pubertal males. These results suggest a selective pruning of VTA dopamine cells between early adolescence and young adulthood, while pubertal onset may coincide with a rapid maturation of these neurons. These findings may have implications for psychiatric disorders associated with dopamine dysfunction that tend to manifest during adolescence.

연령대별 디지털 리터러시 척도의 구인동등성 검증 및 잠재평균 분석

This study tested the equivalence of a digital literacy measurement tool across different age groups and examined differences in latent means. It measured digital literacy using the same items among 994 elementary students, 348 middle school students, and 220 university students representing childhood, adolescent, and early-adulthood groups, respectively. The digital literacy scale originally developed for the adolescent group was modified to accommodate the vocabulary and contexts appropriate for childhood and early-adulthood groups. The results confirmed complete configural and metric invariance across the groups, though scalar invariance was partially achieved. After partial scalar invariance was established, partial strict invariance was secured for comparing latent means. The comparison revealed that the childhood group scored higher on data and content literacy than the adolescents, but lower on community literacy. The early-adulthood group scored significantly higher than the adolescent group on data and media literacy. This paper interprets of these results, discussing the implications and limitations of the study.

The Assessment of Postural-Motor, Coordination, and Reflex Functions in Children and Adolescents with a History of Premature Verticalization and Ontogeny Disorders in Their First Year of Life.

(1) Background: Contracting diseases or being exposed to adverse environmental factors in the first year of life may impair the development of body posture and motor coordination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between data on the speed of passive verticalization, the number of risk factors and the quality of development in the first year of life, and the results of the functional examination of these individuals in adolescence. (2) Methods: Two groups of 60 volunteers, aged 9-14 years, were examined by performing functional tests and the retrospective analysis of their development up to the age of 1 year. The first group consisted of patients diagnosed with postural defects. The control group consisted of healthy people of the same age who volunteered for this study. (3) Results: Statistical analysis showed statistically significant differences between groups in terms of posture (p = 0.001), motor coordination (p = 0.001), and accumulated primitive reflexes (p = 0.001), as well as a high correlation between these disorders and the quality of development in the first year of life. In the first group, for the ages of 3-6 months (r = 0.96; p = 0.001), 6-9 months (r = 0.871; p = 0.001), and 9-12 months (r = 0.806; p = 0.001), no significant correlations were found with the age of 0-3 months. In the second group, the results were as follows: 0-3 months (r = 0.748; p = 0.001), 3-6 months (r = 0.862 p = 0.001), 6-9 months (r = 0.698; p = 0.001), and 9-12 months (r = 0.740; p = 0.001). In the group of adolescents with posture defects, we observed an earlier time of passive verticalization and sitting, as well as more frequent use of loungers, seats, and walkers (p = 0.026). (4) Conclusions: The analysis of this study's data indicates that the development of body posture and motor coordination may be impaired due to accelerated and passive verticalization in the first year of life.

Gendered socialization and sexual violence - A socio-anthropological study in Togo.

This article bases its argument on the social representations that justify sexual violence against adolescent girls and women and make it commonplace. It looks at the constructions of masculinity and femininity and their potential effects on the occurrence of sexual violence among adolescent girls. This is a socio-anthropological study carried out in the plateau regions of Togo. The empirical data came from individual semi-directive interviews (55), life stories (4) of adolescent rape victims and group interviews (40) with several stakeholders (adolescents, parents of adolescents, educators, community leaders and religious leaders). The results show that despite the efforts of the State and non-governmental organisations, local sexuality logics often have an impact on the persistence of sexual violence. (.

Development of Stunting Prevention Education Videos through Balanced Nutrition Arrangements for Adolescents

Stunting in children contributes to adolescent nutrition problems because adolescent nutrition affects the health quality of the next generation. Adolescent malnutrition, such as iron and protein deficiencies, impacts reproductive health and increases the risk of giving birth to stunted children. Therefore, it is important to carry out adolescent nutritional interventions to prevent stunting as early as possible. This research aims to produce educational videos that are feasible and effective in increasing knowledge about stunting and balanced nutrition with the target group of adolescents. This research is a Development Research using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The data analysis applied a one-to-one test and a small-group test. The one-to-one test obtained a percentage of 89% indicating that the video design is in a good category with revision. The small-group test reached 92% indicating that it is categorized as very good but some suggestions for improvement are recommended. The suggested revision is not fundamental because it is only related to the selection of vocabulary to be understood better by the target. Another recommendation is the background musical illustrations that possibly distract the targets’ attention. After some improvements, it is recommended that this educational video be disseminated through social media platforms such as WhatsApp Group or Instagram so that more teenagers can access it.

Types and Predictors of Acculturative Stress Among Multicultural Adolescents in Middle School

Objectives: This study examines how acculturative stress in multicultural adolescents changes during their middle school years and categorizes groups with similar patterns of change. Additionally, the study explores predictive variables influencing these distinct acculturative stress trajectories and verifies how depression and life satisfaction vary according to different patterns of change.Methods: Leveraging data from the Multicultural Adolescent Panel (MAPS 1) conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs across the fourth to sixth waves, the researchers analyzed a cohort of 1,316 participants, including multicultural adolescents and their parents. Logistic regression analysis and ANOVA were employed to investigate potential disparities in growth mixture modeling and acculturative stress latent classes based on predictive factors.Results: Three latent groups of multicultural adolescents’ acculturative stress were identified: low-retention group, persistent increasing group, persistent decrease group. The logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, bicultural acceptance attitude, Korean-language proficiency, foreign parent’s native-language proficiency, parental acculturative stress, and peer support were significantly associated with latent groups. Additionally, significant differences in depression and life satisfaction during the third grade of middle school were observed according to the types of acculturative stress changes.Conclusion: Our study results indicate the need for various support programs aimed at promoting the psychosocial adaptation of multicultural adolescents. These programs should take into account the characteristics and individual differences in acculturative stress and should be implemented at the family level to facilitate social adaptation.

Psychological Characteristics of Adolescents with Varying Degrees of Tendency to Internet Addiction

Introduction. This article is dedicated to studying psychological characteristics of modern adolescents with different severity of the tendency to Internet addictive behavior. In the course of the study, theoretical and empirical material concerning the problem of deviant behavior was generalized. Also, individual psychological characteristics of adolescents and the influence of varying degrees of severity of Internet addiction on young people’s meaning of life orientations were identified. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that for the first time, a set of psychological diagnostic techniques aimed at studying the meaningful orientations of adolescents with Internet addiction was formulated and tested.Purpose. Studying psychological characteristics of adolescents with varying degrees of tendency to Internet addiction. Materials and Methods. As part of the empirical study, the following standardized methods were used: the questionnaire “Behavior on the Internet” by A. E. Zhichkina, the methodology “Questionnaire for studying the level of aggressiveness of Bass-Darka”, “Test of meaningful life orientations (SMO)” by D. A. Leontiev, the methodology “Self-assessment of mental states” by G. Eysenck. Mathematical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. The data was processed using the computer program “SPSS” 17.0 for Windows”.Results. The respondents were 120 teenagers studying in general education institutions of the city of Rostov-on-Don. As a result of the study, it was found that the indicators of aggression are least pronounced in adolescents prone to Internet addiction. In respondents without a tendency to addictive behavior, anxiety and frustration were found to be the least.Discussion. In the group of Internet-dependent adolescents, almost all the main aspects of personality show low indicators, which reflects negative impact of the Internet on formation of individual psychological characteristics of adolescents. The hypothesis of adolescents’ tendency to Internet addiction being associated with peculiarities of meaningful life orientations has been confirmed.

The Effect of Adolescent Therapeutic Group Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the Occurrence of Depression

Adolescents are tasked with developing identity vs. role confusion, where the search for identity will shape the individual's character. There has been an increase in the use of social media among adolescents, causing an increase in the number of depression in adolescents. The need for promotive and preventive efforts to prevent depression in adolescents. This study aims to determine the effect of therapeutic group therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in preventing depression in adolescent social media users. This study was conducted on 70 students aged 15-18 years old using a purposive sampling technique according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study uses a quasi-experimental pre-post-test design with intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given therapeutic and cognitive behavioral therapy, and the control group was given therapeutic group therapy without cognitive behavioral therapy. The results of this study indicate a significant effect on the control group. The combination of therapeutic group therapy therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy can be recommended as a therapy for reducing depression in adolescent social media users.

Assessment of Comorbid Psychopathologies, Psychosocial Factors and Psychiatric Treatment Approach in Children and Adolescents with Sleep Bruxism

Background: Previous studies have revealed a close relationship between a variety of psychopathologies and psychosocial factors, and bruxism. However, psychosocial factors and psychiatric difficulties in children and adolescents with bruxism have not been extensively studied. In the current study, we sought to examine the sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, and comorbid psychopathologies of children and adolescents with sleep bruxism. Materials and Methods: The study included 67 children and adolescents between the ages of 4-17 who were diagnosed with sleep bruxism and followed up at two different Child and Adolescent Psychiatry outpatient clinics between 2018 and 2024. Data on behavioral and emotional characteristics and comorbid psychiatric disorders of these patients, clinical features of bruxism, and treatment approaches to bruxism were retrospectively investigated. Results: Our results indicated that 41.8 of the sample had at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder, and 10.4% had subthreshold psychiatric symptoms. The most common comorbid psychiatric disorders were anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, nocturnal enuresis, and conduct disorders. In 41.8% of cases, bruxism was linked to psychosocial factors. Comorbid psychiatric disorders were significantly more prevalent in the school and adolescent age groups than in preschoolers. Similarly, the connection between bruxism and psychosocial factors became more evident with age. The frequency of a positive family history of bruxism was 44.8%. As treatment options for bruxism, the behavioral approach and pharmacotherapy were preferred in 88.1% of cases, and only the behavioral approach was applied to 11.9%. The most common drugs used in pharmacotherapy were hydroxyzine, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, atypical antidepressants, and melatonin. In terms of response to treatment, 83.6% of the sample responded (completely or partially), while 16.4% did not respond or were resistant to treatment. Conclusions: This study yielded that psychiatric comorbidity is quite common in the pediatric population with sleep bruxism. The outcomes suggest that bruxism is not only a dental problem but is also associated with a variety of psychopathologies and psychosocial factors. Therefore, health professionals who may encounter bruxism should be aware of the relationship between bruxism and psychopathologies and psychosocial factors. It is recommended that children with bruxism be investigated carefully in a multidisciplinary and holistic approach from a bio-psycho-social perspective and screened for psychosocial and psychiatric difficulties.

Spectrum of neurological manifestations, existence of diabetes mellitus, and 5-year mortality and cancer association outcomes in a cohort of Omani patients with positive anti- GAD autoimmunity

ABSTRACT Objectives There is scarce data in the literature concerning the anti-GAD65 antibodies (GAD-Abs) autoimmunity in the Omani population. Methods Retrospective cohort study included GAD-Abs positive patients (n = 444) presented to a tertiary referral center in Oman from January 2005 until January 2018, with a five-year follow-up to study the cancer association and mortality outcomes. Results Out of 444 patients, 27 patients (6.1%) showed GAD-Abs related neurological disorders. Adult age group was significantly associated with more GAD-Abs related neurological manifestations compared to pediatric and adolescents age group (p = 0.045). There was no association between the presence or absence of neurological manifestations with diabetes mellitus nor the titer level of GAD-Abs. Refractory status epilepticus and stiff person syndrome were the main causes of death in patients with neurological manifestations over five years and none of them found to have associated cancer. Conclusion The GAD-Abs autoimmunity represents a spectrum of neurological manifestations with variable severity and outcome among Omanis with positive GAD-Abs testing. The results of this study will serve as a platform for future studies to address the impact of GAD-Abs autoimmunity on the morbidity, mortality and treatment efficacy in the Omani population.

Orthostatic Vital Signs After Sport-Related Concussion: A Cohort Study

Background: The 6th International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport guidelines identified that measuring autonomic nervous system dysfunction using orthostatic vital signs (VSs) is an important part of the clinical evaluation; however, there are limited data on the frequency of autonomic nervous system dysfunction captured via orthostatic VSs after concussion. Purpose: To compare orthostatic changes in heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between athletes with acute sport-related concussion (SRC) and control athletes. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We compared 133 athletes (mean age, 15.3 years; age range, 8-28 years; 45.9% female) with acute SRC (<30 days after injury) with 100 control athletes (mean age, 15.7 years; age range, 10-28 years; 54.0% female). Given the broad age range eligible for study inclusion, participants were subdivided into child (younger than 13 years of age), adolescent (13-17 years of age), and adult (18 years of age and older) age groups for subanalyses. Participants completed a single standard orthostatic VS evaluation including HR, SBP, and DBP in the supine position then immediately and 2 minutes after standing. Linear regression was used to compare delayed supine-to-standing changes in HR, SBP, and DBP as a continuous variable (ΔHR, ΔSPB, and ΔDBP) between groups, and logistic regression was used to compare patients with positive orthostatic VS changes (sustained HR increase ≥30 beats per minute [bpm], SBP decrease ≥20 mm Hg, and DBP ≥10 mm Hg at 2 minutes) between groups, accounting for age and sex. Results: Between-group differences were present for delayed ΔHR (18.4 ± 12.7 bpm in patients with SRC vs 13.2 ± 11.0 bpm in controls; P = .002) and ΔSPB (–3.1 ± 6.6 bpm in patients with SRC vs –0.4 ± 6.5 bpm in controls; P = .001), with positive orthostatic HR changes present more frequently in patients with SRC (18% vs 7%; odds ratio, 2.79; P = .027). In the SRC group, a weak inverse relationship was present between age and ΔHR (r = –0.171; P = .049), with positive orthostatic HR findings occurring primarily in the child and adolescent SRC subgroups. Conclusion: Patients with acute SRC had greater orthostatic VS changes compared with controls, the most prominent being sustained HR elevations. Clinical evaluation of autonomic change after SRC via standard orthostatic VS assessment may be a helpful clinical biomarker in the assessment of SRC, especially in children and adolescents.
