Abstract:

Summary Worldwide, gastric cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, with a high morbidity and mortality. Both environmental and genetic factors have a role in the aetiology of gastric cancer. Familial clustering of gastric cancer is seen in 10-15% of cases, and approximately 3% of gastric cancer cases arise in the setting of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer ( HDGC). In families with HDGC, gastric cancer presents at relatively young age. Germline mutations in the CDH1 gene are the major cause of HDGC and are identified in approximately 25-40% of families which fulfill strict criteria. Prophylactic gastrectomy is the only option to prevent gastric cancer in individuals with a CDH1 mutation. However, in the majority of families with multiple cases of gastric cancer no germline genetic abnormality can be identified and therefore preventative measures are not available, except for general lifestyle advice. Future research should focus on identifying new genetic predisposing factors for all types of familial gastric cancer.

Abstract:

Starting from a framework that emphasizes indigenous heritage, high school teacher Curtis Acosta and students in the Chicano/Raza Studies classes engage with literature that reflects the students’ lives, families, and histories. Doing so encourages students to visualize and affirm academic identities while they confront current issues of oppression, develop critical consciousness, and become familiar with movements of resistance and action.

Abstract:

According to recent magnetic resonance imaging studies, cavernous angioma (CA) seems to involve the central nervous system in 0.5%-1% of the population 1 - in a similar percentage to a large autopsy series 2. The incidence of familial CA is unknown 3: the first paper in the literature concerning familial CA was published in 1936 5: recently however, thank to the widespread use of MR, at least 13 families have been described. We report MR findings in two Italian families with familial CA. In conclusion, familial CA should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with intracranial haemorrhage, seizures or cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract:

Familial occurrence of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) has been reported in scattered cases, which potentially favors the congenital theory. A review of the literature was conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon in China. PubMed, VIP, and CNKI databases were searched for studies describing at least two Chinese BCS patients from the same one family. In the 18 eligible papers, 30 siblings or first-degree relatives from 14 families were diagnosed with BCS at 9 different centers. Common clinical presentations included varices of abdominal wall and lower limbs, edema of legs, and ascites. Type and location of obstruction were similar among these patients from the same one family. Screening for BCS was conducted in 65 family members from 3 families, demonstrating that 2 asymptomatic siblings from one family were further diagnosed with BCS. Factor V Leiden mutation was found in 3 of 4 patients from one family and in one of 2 patients from another one family. Prothrombin G20210A gene mutation was found in none of the 4 patients from the 2 families. In conclusion, our study showed the possibility of familial aggregation in Chinese BCS patients, but these available data cannot support the previous hypothesis that familial BCS originates from congenital vascular malformation.

Abstract:

There is a gap in the literature regarding the process by which families and couples seek professional help. Little is known about the familial and environmental factors that influence this process. The goal of this study was to identify the reasons why couples and families search for couple and family therapy. A systematic literature review was conducted. Twenty‑three articles have met the inclusion criteria. Content Analysis was used to identify the factors that influenced the help‑seeking process. Four factors were identified: type of problem, previous sources of help, gender and relationship factors. Results showed that couples and families use a variety of resources before looking for couple and family therapy. Research into this area is still in its early stages. Further studies must be conducted to better understand this phenomenon.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: Multiple cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is the hallmark of familial presentation of cavernous malformation in the brain. We describe an ongoing Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Project in the Rio de Janeiro state showing genetic profile and the pattern of emergent neuroimaging findings of this particular population besides a review of the updated recommendations for management of familial CCM versus patients harboring sporadic lesions. METHOD: Four families of our cohort of 9 families were genetically mapped showing mutational profile linked to CCM1. The neuroimaging paradigm was shifted from T2*gradient-echo (GRE) sequence to susceptibility weighting MR phase imaging (SWI). RESULTS: Only two index cases were subjected to surgery. There was no surgical intervention in any of the kindreds of our entire cohort of 9 families of our Neurovascular Program within seven years of follow-up. The genetic sequencing for mutacional profile in four of these families has demonstrated only CCM1 gene affected. Our management of the familial CCM is according to the review of the literature recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: The Project of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations of Rio de Janeiro detected mutations of the gene CCM1 in the first four families studied. Familial cavernous malformation are to be settled apart from the more common sporadic lesion. A set of recommendations was searched for in the literature in order to deal with these specific patients and kindreds.

Abstract:

Contrary to societal stereotypes about adoption, this integrative review of published empirical research on adoptive families noted several positive and few negative out-comes with regard to satisfaction with the adoption, familial functioning, and parent-child communication. The critical analysis of 38 studies on adoptive families revealed a prevalence of descriptive passive research designs with concomitant concerns regarding sampling and generalizability. However, despite their limitations, the studies form the foundation for future research that, if replicated, provide support for viewing most adoptive families as resilient. To contribute to the empirical literature on adoption, counseling psychologists should base research in theory, study societal and cultural factors affecting adoptive families, improve methodology, and focus on resiliency and successful out-comes for adoptive families.

Abstract:

✓ Brain arteriovenous malformations are considered to originate from a congenital maldevelopment of the brain vessels. Although there have been occasional reports suggesting a familial incidence of these lesions, data for only 10 families have been accumulated in the literature. The authors report on six such cases in three families. This high rate of occurrence of familial cases suggests an involvement of genetic factors.

Abstract:

Android receives major attention from security practitioners and researchers due to the influx number of malicious applications. For the past twelve years, Android malicious applications have been grouped into families. In the research community, detecting new malware families is a challenge. As we investigate, most of the literature reviews focus on surveying malware detection. Characterizing the malware families can improve the detection process and understand the malware patterns. For this reason, we conduct a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art Android malware familial detection, identification, and categorization techniques. We categorize the literature based on three dimensions: type of analysis, features, and methodologies and techniques. Furthermore, we report the datasets that are commonly used. Finally, we highlight the limitations that we identify in the literature, challenges, and future research directions regarding the Android malware family.

Abstract:

Der vorliegende Artikel stellt eine Literaturübersicht zu Familien dar, die mit HIV und Aids leben. Dabei werden Herkunfts- und Wahlfamilien sowie Partnerschaften beschrieben. Es fällt auf, dass familiale Systeme mit homosexuellen Männern besonders häufig, die der Angehörigen von intravenös Drogenkonsumierenden und Hämophilen deutlich weniger untersucht sind. Kaum systematisch diskutiert werden Familien, die durch heterosexuelle Übertragung mit der HIV-Infektion konfrontiert wurden. Hier mangelt es insbesondere an Untersuchungen über die weiblichen Angehörigen. Ein zweiter Schwerpunkt des Artikels beschäftigt sich mit dem Unterstützungspotential, welches die familialen Netzwerke aufbringen. Die vormals akut-terminale Infektionskrankheit Aids hat seit anfangs der 90er Jahre einen mehrheitlich chronisch-progredienten Verlauf, und seit Mitte der 90er Jahre konnten die Mortalität und Morbidität durch neue antiretrovirale Behandlungsoptionen weiter gesenkt werden. Das bedeutet, dass HIV-positive Menschen ihr familiales Netz über deutlich längere Zeitperioden und in veränderter Weise beanspruchen. Hierbei treten die körperbezogenen, technisch intensiven und haushälterischen Hilfestellungen sowie das Symptommanagement eher in den Hintergrund, während die emotionale und anwaltschaftliche Unterstützung weiterhin von großer Wichtigkeit sind. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden Stärken und Schwächen des aktuellen Diskussionsstandes herausgearbeitet, um danach Defizite sowohl in der anglo-amerikanischen wie auch der deutschsprachigen Literatur zu identifizieren. Aus pflegewissenschaftlicher Sicht gilt es, die Charakteristika der Aidspflege noch viel deutlicher wahrzunehmen, differenziert zu beschreiben, systematisch zu erforschen und für den allgemeinen pflegerischen und gesellschaftlichen Kontext nutzbar zu machen, denn die Erkenntnisse aus der familialen Pflege HIV-positiver Menschen und Aidskranker dürften im Zuge der Chronifizierung von Aids auch für andere Chronischkranke von Interesse sein. Abschließend werden Forschungsempfehlungen zur Angehörigenorientierung im Kontext von HIV und Aids wie auch zur Methodik zukünftiger Forschungsprojekte in diesem Feld formuliert.

Abstract:

Background. A discoid meniscus is a thickened variant of the normal C-shaped meniscus prone to injury. Discoid medial meniscal tears have rarely been reported within families and may suggest familial or developmental origins.Methods. We report the cases of two Caucasian brothers with symptomatic discoid medial meniscus tears. A literature review was conducted addressing discoid medial meniscus and cases of familial meniscus tears.Case Presentation. Physically active brothers presented with progressively worsening knee pain. MRI revealed medial meniscus tears in both brothers. The family history of medial meniscus tears in their mother and the discoid medial meniscus injuries found on arthroscopy suggested evidence for familial discoid medial meniscus tears.Conclusions. Discoid medial meniscus tears within a family have not been previously reported. Two cases of families with discoid lateral meniscus tears have been reported. Discoid medial meniscus is rare relative to the discoid lateral meniscus and predisposes children to symptomatic tears.

Abstract:

In the pediatric population, ureteroceles may present with different clinical pictures, and the severity of the renal damage is greater than in adults. Ureterocele, an anomaly of ureteric budding, is likely a component of a spectrum of anomalies including vesicoureteral reflux and ureteral duplications. Both have been confirmed to have a genetic and familial basis. We document the largest series of familial cases of ureteroceles, giving evidence for genetic background. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with familial ureteroceles seen between 1992 and 2002. Coexisting ureteral anomalies and features of the cases were documented and compared to sporadic cases and all familial cases within the literature. This is the largest series of familial ureterocele patients in the literature. The review of the literature revealed seven publications with seven ureterocele families (15 affected patients) between 1936 and 2002. Comparing sex, ureterocele location, and single versus duplex systems, familial series are similar to other sporadic cases. Three of the families have twin siblings with ureteroceles. Familial cases, despite their rarity, raise the issue of the genetic origin of uretereoceles. Family members of ureterocele cases should be informed and followed carefully, especially twins. Increased reporting and genetic analysis of familial ureteroceles may prove to link the genetic mouse models of abnormal ureteric budding to the human conditions.

Abstract:

The relatively high prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in familial cases supports genetic susceptibility to this disease. Although many advances have been made in the identification of new genes implicated in lupus pathogenesis, to date, there has been no large study of familial SLE. We report what we believe to be the first study of familial SLE in the North African population. The objectives of this study were to determine the main clinical and laboratory features of familial lupus and to compare them to sporadic lupus in a population of Tunisian patients. Fourteen families in which the diagnosis of lupus could be verified in at least two relatives were included in the study. All patients fulfilled four or more criteria defined by the American College of Rheumatology. Twenty-seven patients (23 females and 4 males) with familial SLE among a cohort of 253 SLE patients were found, resulting in a frequency of 10.67%. No significant differences were found between familial SLE cases and their controls in terms of sex ratio, mean age at onset and clinical and serological manifestations, which is consistent with the results of other series reported in the literature. Our results support the importance of carrying out more genetic studies within families of SLE in order to have a better understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of the disease.

Abstract:

The Troubled Families Program (TFP) in the UK is a government initiative aimed at helping disadvantaged families with health issues, crime, employment, and violence. It is one of the only two government-funded family programs in the UK, with an estimated £9 billion spent on 120,000 troubled families. The program aims to reduce long-term public sector expenditures while improving outcomes for the community's most needy families. The government claims to have successfully turned around 99 percent of all troubled families in 2015, with the positive impacts including breaking down silos in the government, enabling a greater focus on collaborative whole-family work, and enhancing the capacity to deliver comprehensive services. However, the limitations of the program also can't be ignored.

Abstract:

This review surveys sociological literature on intercountry adoption from 1997 to 2010. The analysis finds a preponderance of literature from the United States, reflecting its place as a major receiving country, and a focus on adoption experience organised by reference to the adoption triad: adoptive parents, adoptees, birth families. Reflecting the power imbalances in intercountry adoption, the voices and views of adoptive parents dominate the literature. There is an emerging literature generated by researchers who are intercountry adoptees, while birth families remain almost invisible in this literature. A further gap identified by this review is work which examines intercountry adoption as a global social practice and work which critically examines policy.

Abstract:

Background: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cutaneous endothelial vascular proliferation with four subtypes: iatrogenic, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related, African, and classic. Familial cases of KS are rare, with 72 cases reported to date, and all were described with the classic variant. The occurrence of classic KS in the Jewish population is well documented, and most of the familial classic KS cases were also reported in Jewish families. Objective: We briefly present the history, biopsies, laboratory data, diagnosis, and treatment of localized lower limb classic KS in two siblings of Jewish Eastern European ethnic descent with their response to different therapy modalities. One of our cases had the second longest reported period of follow-up for familial classic KS of 40 years.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines inequalities between families with children in the UK. Families are central to the nurturing and raising of children, yet not every family is able to provide the same level of resources, support and opportunities. Moreover, in recent decades, changing partnership and fertility behaviours has led to greater diversity, fragility and complexity between families. Here we examine whether there are discernible socio-economic gradients and geographical variation in the recent changes in partnership and parenthood behaviour. We also assess the extent to which these family developments and the attributes of the families in which children are born and reared contribute to disparities in their lives and their future life chances, with a particular foci on education, income, mental well-being, parenting and parental relationships. To this end, we provide new analyses and draw on an extensive literature from a range of disciplines.

Abstract:

More research is needed to assess and address all areas of concern to family members. Options such as family discussion groups, patient-family or psychiatric liaison nurses, or clinical nurse specialist involvement might be used to improve family care and coping. Family perceptions of important needs warrant further research, and nursing interventions such as orientation-education programs, descriptive visitor pamphlets, nurse-family interaction sessions, and open or flexible visiting policies need additional investigation. It is only through continued assessment, evaluation, and intervention that critical care nurses can achieve total care for the ICU patient and family.

Abstract:

<p>In this study, we use prosocial and caregiving literature to strengthen the family section of anti-depression campaigns. We suggest that the addition of the prosocial and caregiving insights bring a new perspective on depression caregiving of family members that goes beyond a mere description of the family’s reactions and coping abilities. Built on essential components such as empathy, knowledge and skills instead of fear or anxiety, the development of a specific theoretical framework for designers of anti-depression campaigns targeting people caring for family members suffering from depression increases our understanding of family member behavior as caregivers. It provides families with a comprehensive tool that includes motivational and determining factors in one’s will and ability to deliver appropriate help in the face of family illness. Specific recommendations for designers of social marketing campaigns are provided. In addition, we exemplify how an anti-depression campaign targeting family members of depressed people is consistent with the prosocial and caregiving literature, while waiting for a formal evaluation of the effectiveness of the model presented in this article.</p>
