Abstract:

Alcohol misuse on college campuses is an ongoing national public health concern. For many young adults, the transition to college is a high-risk period for the initiation or continuation of problem drinking behaviors. Contrary to assertions of diminishing influence of parents on their children once they enter college, a substantial body of recent research supports the continuing protective influence of parents on the drinking behavior of college students. This chapter reviews the empirical research literature examining parental influences on college student drinking. Recent studies on parental influence on college drinking include parenting styles, parental monitoring, parent–child communication, parental modeling and attitudes toward drinking, and parental relationship quality. Recently developed parent-based interventions designed to reduce problem drinking on college campuses are described and reviewed. Recommendations for parents of college-bound children are provided to help reduce the risk for the development of problem drinking during this important developmental transition.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter presents a model of parental socialization that summarizes the interrelations among parental modeling of substance use, parent approval, parental monitoring and control, parent–child relationship quality, child cognitions, friends’ substance use, and child/adolescent substance use. Parental alcohol consumption, smoking, and drug use are significant predictors of child and adolescent drinking, smoking, and marijuana use. Parental substance use is associated with lower quality parenting and family management practices and lower quality relationships with offspring, both of which are associated with greater offspring substance use. Parental substance use, parental approval, parenting practices, and relationship quality are associated with adolescents’ affiliation with substance-using friends. Parental non-use, effective parenting practices, and good-quality parent–child relationships buffer the relation between friends’ modeling of substance use and adolescent offspring substance use. The model should facilitate the development of targeted tests of its utility for generating new research on the socialization of adolescent substance use.

Abstract:

Recent evidence emphasizes the interconnectedness of different aspects of young children’s development, the variability of development, and the way that it unfolds in the context of the family. This chapter describes the role of primary prevention in promoting child development, particularly the cognitive aspects of child development. Parental awareness about child development is central to any child health programme. Professionals have a key role in providing appropriate information about child development to families and also in mediating what is available on the Internet. This highlights the need for regular monitoring with a common understanding of development across professionals and the use of appropriate outcomes which are meaningful to parents. A range of different interventions have been tested, many with positive results, but effective service delivery needs to be multifaceted and systemic. The outcome of promoting early child development should be seen in terms of improving school readiness, and enhancing children’s well-being.

Full text

Abstract:

Mapping and Monitoring Bullying and Violence is a guidebook for district and school education leaders and professionals to reduce incidents of violence and bullying and enhance students' well-being. Written in a step-by-step format, the text is designed to assist in collecting and making better use of data on non-academic issues in schools, such as reports of victimization, weapon and drug possession, theft of personal property, suicide ideation, and other areas. The authors advocate an ongoing monitoring approach that involves collecting information from multiple audiences about what is taking place in and around schools. One part of this process is mapping, which gives school leaders, students, and staff members a visual record of areas of the campus considered safe, alongside those that students view to be places where they might encounter bullying, harm, or trouble. Other common parts of such systems are surveys among students, educators, and parents. The authors include practical examples of how to design such a system, gather current information, analyze and display the data, share it with different audiences, and use it to find solutions. Ultimately, this timely guidebook is a must-have for social workers, psychologists, counselors, nurses, and others working to improve safety in schools.

Abstract:

Many parents find getting their child to school in the morning a challenge. If your child consistently pleads with you to let him stay home from school, if she skips school or is often late to school, if his morning routine is fraught with misbehaviors, or if she exhibits signs of distress and anxiety related school attendance, this book can help. Getting Your Child Back to School: A Parent’s Guide to Solving School Attendance Problems is designed to help address your child’s school attendance problems in the early stages. This guide helps identify different school attendance problems and provides step-by-step instructions to help solve the problem and learn different techniques for getting your child to school, including monitoring your child’s behavior, working with school officials, practicing enhanced relaxation, changing your child’s distressed thoughts about school, establishing a clear and predictable morning routine, setting up a system of rewards for going to school, handling inappropriate behaviors, writing clear agreements, and helping your child decline offers to miss school. Suggestions are made for preventing attendance problems in the future, dealing with special circumstances, addressing severe attendance problems, and handling extended time periods out of school. Easy to read and filled with concrete strategies, this book is the first of its kind to educate parents and arm them with tools needed to resolve their child’s school attendance problem. The book covers severe attendance problems and suggestions for families who must endure an extended period of time out of school due to school shutdowns.

Abstract:

Demand for anesthesia personnel outside of the operating room is increasing in dentistry. Anesthesia for dentistry is unique due to the shared airway and the limitations of the dental office environment. Knowledge of local anesthesia in dentistry is necessary as profound anesthesia is essential for sedation and may be indicated as an adjunct for general anesthesia. Nitrous oxide is also utilized alone or in conjunction with oral or parenteral sedation, and the anesthesia staff must be familiar with its use in dentistry. Stringent protocols for patient selection and monitoring are essential for safe administration of anesthesia in the dental setting.

Full text

Abstract:

Self-Esteem in Time and Place reveals how self-esteem became a touchstone of American childrearing in the early years of the twenty-first century. Until now, almost nothing has been known about self-esteem as understood by ordinary parents or practiced as part of everyday family life. In the study reported here, parents of young children, living in a small Midwestern city, embraced self-esteem as a childrearing goal at a time when images and discourses of self-esteem proliferated across the cultural landscape. European American, African American, middle-class, and working-class parents believed that fostering young children’s self-esteem was critical to their psychological health and future success. To achieve this goal, they enacted a high-maintenance style of childrearing comprising assiduous monitoring, copious praise, and gentle discipline. These practices differed dramatically from most cultural cases in the ethnographic record. Together, parents and children created an early moment in a child-affirming developmental trajectory. As active participants and inventive agents, they also engaged in a process of personalization, nuancing their views in light of their social positioning and infusing normative ideas and practices with personal significance. These insights emerged from an innovative interdisciplinary study that draws on diverse sociocultural theories and incorporates intellectual history, interviews with parents, media texts and images, and longitudinal ethnographic observations. It situates the social imaginary of childrearing and self-esteem in time and place, traces its roots to nineteenth-century visionaries, and identifies the complex, multilayered contexts from which this enduring cultural ideal derives its meanings.

Abstract:

On admission, patients should have nutritional screening and assessment, in order to plan effective peri-operative nutritional care and prevent surgical complications associated with a poor nutritional status. The malnourished patient may require enteral nutrition in the form of oral nutritional supplements or enteral tube feeding. The surgical patient is at risk of peri-operative and/or electrolyte disturbances which can lead to dehydration, fluid overload, and cardiac arrhythmias. Accurate fluid balance monitoring will enable the nurse to identify fluid disturbances, assess the effectiveness of interventions, and prevent complications associated with fluid and electrolyte disturbances. This chapter covers nutritional screening and assessment, fluid balance, intravenous fluid regimes, nutritional goals, and enteral and parenteral nutrition.

Abstract:

This online treatment program adapts the principles of Dr. Foa's proven effective Prolonged Exposure Therapy for adolescents suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and is based on the principles of prolonged exposure and emotional processing for use with those individuals who suffer from PTSD. The treatment is presented in modules that can be individually tailored to fit the needs of each patient. Because many adolescent PTSD sufferers do not initiate therapy on their own, but are referred to therapy by social workers, parents, or other authority figures, their willingness to participate in their treatment can vary widely. The first element of this treatment, serves to assess the client's attitude, and increase motivation to change. Other modules introduce psychoeducation, real-life exposure, emotional processing, and relapse prevention. This online workbook provides additional information, monitoring forms, and worksheets to help clients take control of their treatment.

Abstract:

Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are life-threatening disorders, usually caused by acute coronary thrombosis and subsequent myocardial ischaemia, presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation in the initial electrocardiogram. According to the occurrence of myocardial necrosis, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are divided into non-ST-segment myocardial infarction or unstable angina. The management of non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes requires an early diagnosis and risk stratification, urgent hospitalization, monitoring, and medical treatment, including antithrombotic therapy with dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus one P2Y12 inhibitor) and parenteral anticoagulation, anti-ischaemic treatment, and preventative therapies. After the initial medical therapy is established, an invasive strategy, consisting of coronary angiography with coronary revascularization (either percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary bypass graft surgery), as appropriate, should be decided. The timing of the invasive strategy should be adjusted, according to the patient’s risk. Given the high event rate of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes after hospital discharge, an aggressive long-term preventative therapy should be put in place to improve prognosis.

Abstract:

Scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), and related diseases of mink (transmissible mink encephalopathy), mule deer and elk (chronic wasting disease) are the founder members of a group of diseases called the transmissible degenerative (or spongiform) encephalopathies (TSE). These diseases can be transmitted by prions from affected to healthy animals by inoculation or by feeding diseased tissues. Prions are cellular proteins that can transfer metabolic and pathological phenotypes vertically from parent to progeny or horizontally between cells and animals. TSEs are characterised by the accumulation of the prion form of the mammalian prion protein (PrPC) in the central nervous system or peripheral tissues of animals and humans. Mutations of the human PrP gene are linked to rare, familial forms of disease and prion-protein gene polymorphisms in humans and other species are linked to survival time and disease characteristics in affected individuals. Iatrogenic transmission of CJD in man has occurred, and a variant form of CJD (vCJD) is due to cross-species transmission of BSE from cattle to humans. Atypical forms of scrapie and BSE have been identified during large-scale monitoring for TSEs worldwide. This chapter outlines our current understanding of scrapie, BSE, CJD and other TSEs and highlights recent progress in defining the role in disease of the prion protein, PrP.

Abstract:

Schools have become the default mental health providers for children and adolescents, but they are often poorly equipped to meet the mental health needs of their students. The introduction tackles how to make students eligible for school-based services using the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Using the new DSM-5 as an organizing principle, this book then addresses the 12 most common mental disorders of childhood and adolescence, ages 3–18. While there are many books that address child and adolescent psychopathology, this book focuses on how to help students with mental disorders in pre-K–12 schools. Each chapter addresses the prevalence of a disorder in school-age populations, appropriate diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, comorbid disorders, rapid assessment instruments available, school-based interventions using multitiered systems of support, and easy-to-follow suggestions for progress monitoring. Unique to this book, each chapter has detailed suggestions for how school-based clinicians can collaborate with teachers, parents, and community providers to address the needs of youth with mental health problems so that school, home, and community work together. Each chapter ends with a list of extensive web resources and a real-life case example drawn from the clinical practice of the authors. The final chapter addresses two newly proposed diagnoses for self-harm in the DSM-5 and brings a cautious and sensible approach to assessing and helping students who may be at risk for serious self-injury or suicide.

Abstract:

The first edition of Understanding Vineyard Soils has been praised for its comprehensive coverage of soil topics relevant to viticulture. However, the industry is dynamic--new developments are occurring, especially with respect to measuring soil variability, managing soil water, possible effects of climate change, rootstock breeding and selection, monitoring sustainability, and improving grape quality and the "typicity" of wines. All this is embodied in an increased focus on the terroir or "sense of place" of vineyard sites, with greater emphasis being placed on wine quality relative to quantity in an increasingly competitive world market. The promotion of organic and biodynamic practices has raised a general awareness of "soil health", which is often associated with a soil's biology, but which to be properly assessed must be focused on a soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties. This edition of White's influential book presents the latest updates on these and other developments in soil management in vineyards. With a minimum of scientific jargon, Understanding Vineyard Soils explains the interaction between soils on a variety of parent materials around the world and grapevine growth and wine typicity. The essential chemical and physical processes involving nutrients, water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, moderated by the activities of soil organisms, are discussed. Methods are proposed for alleviating adverse conditions such as soil acidity, sodicity, compaction, poor drainage, and salinity. The pros and cons of organic viticulture are debated, as are the possible effects of climate change. The author explains how sustainable wine production requires winegrowers to take care of the soil and minimize their impact on the environment. This book is a practical guide for winegrowers and the lay reader who is seeking general information about soils, but who may also wish to pursue in more depth the influence of different soil types on vine performance and wine character.
