2. Perceived Barriers and Postsecondary Plans in Mexican American and White Adolescents

Author

McWhirter, Ellen Hawley, Torres, Danielle M., and Salgado, Susana

Abstract

The authors examined perceived internal and external barriers to postsecondary educational plans among 140 Mexican American and 296 White high school students, attending to sex, socioeconomic, ethnic differences. Parent education was associated with educational plans. Girls anticipated encountering more barriers associated with financing postsecondary education than their male counterparts. Mexican American students anticipated encountering more postsecondary education barriers associated with ability, preparation, motivation, support, and separation, and expected those barriers to be more difficult to overcome, than their White counterparts. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)

Abstract

CLIPPERS is a rare subacute inflammatory disorder of the CNS, with a poorly understood pathogenesis and with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Reports of extra-pontine involvement in this syndrome are rare, and as far as we know there are only two cases reported with simultaneous involvement of the CNS and pulmonary parenchyma. We report the case of a young patient with a subacute condition of cognitive dysfunction, as well as motor, sensory and balance changes. Imaging showed pontine and extrapontine brain involvement in association with multiple pulmonary nodules, characterizing a very unusual presentation of this syndrome. It is important for radiologists to be aware of that rare presentation in order to make a prompt diagnosis of this condition, enabling early treatment and avoiding permanent neurological sequelae., Competing Interests: None
