Abstract

Background: Inter-ethnic political conflicts are ongoing in many regions around the world, particularly with the Israel-Palestine conflict. Palestinian young people are at high risk of exposure to traumatic events. In other population samples, school climate has had a positive impact on young people's wellbeing. Aims: Examining trauma responses in young people exposed to ethnic-political violence in Palestine including potential stressors (e.g. military exposure) and protective factors (e.g. positive school climate). Validity of translated measures will be examined, and the ITQ will be used to explore PTSD and CPTSD rates. Methods: Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional dataset of 818 young people, living in the West Bank in Palestine. Phase one of analysis: principal components analysis of the 18-item Arabic ITQ and newly developed School Climate Scale (SCS). Phase two of analysis: estimating prevalence of PTSD and CPTSD and examining associations. Results: Different factor structures of the ITQ and SCS emerged in this population sample. Rates of PTSD were 17.7% and of CPTSD were 18.8%. Statistically significant gender differences for PTSD and for CPTSD were found, with higher rates for females. Age and trauma were not significantly associated. There is preliminary evidence regarding positive school climate decreasing trauma levels. Conclusion: This is the first stage of researching predominantly Western constructs of school climate and trauma in Palestine. Further research is needed, including confirmatory analysis of the SCS and exploration of cultural views on trauma, to develop our understanding of population differences.

Abstract

Background: Contact allergy can manifest in a variety of ways clinically. Systemic contact allergy may occasionally present with pain in muscles and joints. Fibromyalgia is a chronic rheumatic disease characterized by pain and with virtually unknown aetiology. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the contact allergy rates to the sensitizers in a baseline series and compare with corresponding rates in dermatitis patients and the general population. Methods: Patch testing with the Swedish baseline series was performed in 120 individuals with fibromyalgia. Fisher's exact test was used for pair‐wise comparisons of contact allergy rates between the fibromyalgia group and two control groups, dermatitis patients and individuals in the general population. Results: Contact allergy was significantly more common in the fibromyalgia group compared to the general population concerning nickel and the fragrance markers Myroxolon pereirae and fragrance mix I. There were fewer allergic reactions to preservatives in the fibromyalgia group compared with the dermatitis group. Conclusions: Myroxolon pereirae and fragrance mix I represent besides fragrance allergy also allergy to flavouring substances which indicate that oral exposure to flavouring substances and hygiene products might be important for sensitization and possibly elicitation of systemic contact allergy symptoms in fibromyalgia individuals.

Abstract

Objective: To examine neurocognitive functioning in children classified with overt cerebral vascular accidents (CVAs), silent infarcts, or without central nervous system (CNS) pathology on magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: Participants were 63 children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). Results: Children with overt CVAs and silent infarcts differed from their peers without CNS pathology on measures of attention and executive functioning. Conclusions: We consider these deficits the result of the high frequency of frontal lobe deficits incurred by children with SCD. Recommendations include the use of tests designed to measure attention and executive functioning as a way of screening children with SCD for possible CNS pathology. We also suggest that future research examine the mechanism underlying frontal lobe involvement for individuals with SCD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
