Effective emotion regulation (ER) strategies are linked with healthy psychosocial functioning, and parenting behaviours and parents' own ER have been linked to the development of their children's own ER. The present study examined relations between emerging adults' perceived parenting dimensions (warmth, psychological control, and behavioural control), their caregivers' self-reported parenting dimensions, and emerging adults' ER. We also examined how caregivers' ER relates to their emerging adult children's ER. Two dimensions of ER (cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression) were examined. Participants included 466 emerging adults, and a subsample of 102 emerging adult-primary caregiver dyads, and 51 emerging adult-secondary caregiver dyads. Findings from analyses on emerging adults suggest that only perceived main and secondary caregivers' warmth influenced their use of cognitive reappraisal (CR). In contrast, caregivers' reported parenting did not influence emerging adults' emotion suppression (ES) use. In addition, caregivers' reported use of CR influenced emerging adults' own use of CR, but caregivers' use of ES did not. These findings suggest that it is the perception of parenting rather than what caregivers report doing that influences emerging adults' ER. Limitations and directions for future research are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Description and demonstration of the feasibility of laparoscopic management of symptomatic pelvic lymphocele after surgical staging in gynecological cancer surgery. Step-by-step description of the surgical procedure using pictures and an educational video. Patient gave informed consent for the use of images and the full video article was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Hospital of Sant Pau. Lymphocele is one of the most common complications of pelvic or lumbo-aortic lymphadenectomy. Although the incidence is variable at 1-58%, around 5-18% of cases are symptomatic. Only symptomatic lymphocele requires treatment, which can be medical or interventional. Drainage is usually performed by guided radiology although a surgical approach has shown a lower rate of recurrence. A 64-years-old woman diagnosed with endometrial carcinosarcoma was staged laparoscopically by pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed using an extraperitoneal approach. Three weeks later she presented with an intense and persistent burning pain, radiating towards the left leg. Computed tomography imaging suggested the presence of a 10x7.6 cm lymphocele adjacent to the left external iliac vessels. Laparoscopy was performed with four-port placement configuration, enabling the identification of a large, bilobed lymphocele, adjacent to the left pelvic wall and left paracolic gutter. Adhesiolysis and identification of main landmarks in the left paracolic gutter and left paravesical fossa was performed as a first step. Peritoneum of each lymphocele was opened in the caudal region and the opening was broadened to facilitate lymph drainage. Owing to the low morbidity and excellent results, we suggest that laparoscopic drainage should be performed as a feasible and useful treatment for pelvic symptomatic lymphoceles.

Background: Adolescents are advised to sleep 8-10 hours per night; however, most do not sleep for this recommended amount. Poor adolescent sleep is associated with detrimental health outcomes, including reduced physical activity, risk-taking behaviors, and increased depression and anxiety levels, making this an important public health concern. Existing interventions targeting adolescent sleep are often unsuccessful or their effectiveness unclear, as they are frequently noninteractive, time-consuming, and lack a strong theoretical foundation; highlighting an urgent need for innovative interventions deemed acceptable by adolescents., Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary impact of a web-based person-based sleep intervention (SleepWise) on adolescent sleep quality. Participant incentivization was also explored to understand its impact on engagement, acceptability, and sleep quality., Methods: A feasibility trial was conducted to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of SleepWise on adolescent sleep quality, developed based on the person-based approach to intervention development. In total, 90 participants (aged 13-17 years) from further education institutions and secondary schools were recruited for two 2-arm randomized controlled trials. One trial (trial 1) was incentivized to understand the impact of incentivization. Acceptability and sleep quality were assessed via questionnaires, and a mixed methods process evaluation was undertaken to assess participant engagement and experience with SleepWise. Engagement was automatically tracked by SleepWise, which collected data on the date and time, pages viewed, and the number of goals and sleep logs completed per participant. Semistructured interviews were carried out to gain participant feedback., Results: Participants in both trials reported high levels of acceptability (trial 1: mean 21.00, SD 2.74; trial 2: mean 20.82, SD 2.48) and demonstrated similar levels of engagement with SleepWise. Participants in trial 1 viewed slightly more pages of the intervention, and those in trial 2 achieved their set goals more frequently. Improvements in sleep quality were found in both trials 1 and 2, with medium (trial 1) and large (trial 2) effect sizes. A larger effect size for improvement in sleep quality was found in the nonincentivized trial (d=0.87), suggesting that incentivization may not impact engagement or sleep quality. Both trials achieved acceptable recruitment (trial 1, N=48; trial 2, N=42), and retention at 5 weeks (trial 1: N=30; trial 2: N=30). Qualitative findings showed that adolescents lead busy lifestyles, which may hinder engagement; however, participants deemed SleepWise acceptable in length and content, and made attempts at behavior change., Conclusions: SleepWise is an acceptable and potentially efficacious web-based sleep intervention aimed at adolescents. Findings from this study showed that incentivization did not greatly impact engagement, acceptability, or sleep quality. Subject to a full trial, SleepWise has the potential to address the urgent need for innovative, personalized, and acceptable sleep interventions for adolescents., Trial Registration: OSF Registries osf.io/yanb2; https://osf.io/yanb2., (©Shokraneh Moghadam, Margaret Husted, Ana Aznar, Debra Gray.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare surgical complexity, post-operative complications, and survival outcomes between patients with minimal residual disease (completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score) CC-1 at the time of primary debulking surgery and those with complete cytoreduction (CC-0) at the time of interval debulking surgery., Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted of patients with advanced ovarian cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC-IV) who underwent cytoreductive surgery achieving either minimal or no residual disease between January 2008 and December 2015. Patients underwent either primary or interval debulking surgery after receiving ≥3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The sub-group of patients with primary debulking surgery/CC-1 was compared with those with interval debulking surgery/CC-0. Overall survival and disease-free survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method., Results: A total of 549 patients were included, with upfront surgery performed in 175 patients (31.9%) and 374 patients (68.1%) undergoing interval debulking surgery. After primary debulking surgery, 157/175 (89.7%) had complete cytoreduction and 18/175 (10.3%) had minimal residual disease (primary debulking surgery/CC-1 group), while after interval debulking surgery, 324/374 (86.6%) had complete cytoreduction (interval debulking surgery/CC-0 group) and 50/374 (13.4%) had minimal residual disease. The rate of patients with peritoneal cancer index >10 was 14/17 (82.4%) for the primary debulking surgery/CC-1 group and 129/322 (40.1%) for the interval debulking surgery/CC-0 (p<0.001). The rate of patients with an Aletti score of ≥8 was 11/18 (61.1%) and 132/324 (40.7%), respectively (p=0.09) and the rate of major post-operative complications was 5/18 (27.8%) and 64/324 (19.8%), respectively (p=0.38). Overall median disease-free and overall survival were 19.4 months (95% CI 18.0 to 20.6) and 56.7 months (95%CI 50.2 to 65.8), respectively. Median disease-free survival for the primary debulking surgery/CC-1 group was 16.7 months (95% CI 13.6 to 20.0) versus 18.2 months (95% CI 16.4 to 20.0) for the interval debulking surgery/CC-0 group (p=0.56). Median overall survival for the primary debulking surgery/CC-1 group was 44.7 months (95% CI 34.3 to not reached) and 49.4 months (95% CI 46.2 to 57.3) for the interval debulking surgery/CC-0 group (p=0.97)., Conclusions: Patients with primary debulking surgery with minimal residual disease and those with interval debulking surgery with no residual disease had similar survival outcomes. Interval surgery should be considered when achieving absence of residual disease is challenging at upfront surgery, given the lower tumor burden found during surgery., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© IGCS and ESGO 2024.

Background: More than half of women with psychosis take care of their children despite the difficulties caused by the disease. Additionally, these kids have a higher risk of developing a mental health disorder. However, no interventions have been developed to meet these needs. Metacognitive Training (MCT) is a psychological intervention that has demonstrated its efficacy in improving cognitive insight, symptom management and social cognition in people with first-episode psychosis (FEP). Additionally, MCT has shown better results in women than men with FEP. This study aims to adapt and evaluate the efficacy of MCT-F in mothers and adolescent children in an online group context with the main purpose of improving family relationships, cognitive awareness and symptoms in women with psychosis and increase their children's knowledge of the disease and their functioning. As secondary objectives, it also aims to evaluate improvements in metacognition, social cognition, symptoms, protective factors and self-perception of stigma., Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design with participants acting as their own control will be carried out. Forty-eight mothers with psychosis and their adolescent children (between 12 and 20 years old) recruited from a total of 11 adult mental health care centers will receive MCT-F. Participants will be evaluated 11 weeks before the intervention (T1), at baseline (T2), and post-intervention (T3) with a cognitive insight scale, as a primary outcome. Measures of metacognitive and social cognition, symptoms, cognitive functioning, family and social functioning, protective factors (self-esteem, resilience, and coping strategies) and self-perceived stigma will be addressed as secondary outcomes. Assessment will also address trauma and attachment in mothers and, lastly, the feasibility and acceptability of MCT-F in both participant groups., Discussion: This will be the first investigation of the efficacy, acceptability, and viability of the implementation of MCT-F. The results of this study may have clinical implications, contributing to improving mothers' with psychosis and adolescents' functioning and better understanding of the disease, in addition to the possible protective and preventive effect in adolescents, who are known to be at higher risk of developing severe mental disorders.
