Coping with Children with ADHD: Coping Styles of Mothers with Children with ADHD or Challenging Behaviours

Parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can experience significant levels of stress in their parenting roles, however, little is known about the specific coping strategies used by these parents. This pilot study Investigated the coping strategies used by mothers of children with ADHD. A 34 item questionnaire was developed to identify maternal coping strategies. A cohort of 38 mothers of children with ADHD and a control group of 30 mothers of children without ADHD or any other disability/illness completed the questionnaire. Factor analysis of responses produced three factors: Aggressive/Confrontive Coping, Rational Coping, and Indirect Coping. These factors are similar to coping dimensions proposed by Folkman and Lazarus. Comparisons between the two groups of mothers revealed that mothers of children with ADHD used significantly more Indirect Coping.     

Research with families of people with mental disorder

The purpose of this paper is to present a critical reflection on the knowledge produced on the topics: the impact of the mental illness in the family, the impact of the family environment in the evolution of the eating and the experience family with the mental illness. The measures of overload and express emotion are useful to guide public politics and the practice professional, however in they do not give a multidimensional picture to them of the experience of the care. Research on the familiar experience contribute to the understanding of the present suffering in this experience and of the forms of confrontation adopted by the families, also contributing to perceive the differences of the cultural contexts in the confrontation of the families.     

席汉综合征行体外受精与胚胎移植助孕术的观察

试管婴儿是通过体外受精与胚胎移植(IVF-ET)这一辅助生育技术来帮助一些妊娠困难的夫妇生育孩子的新技术.近期我科收治1例席汉综合征患者行"IVF-ET”助孕术并发了卵巢过度刺激征(OHSS),后已诊断为临床妊娠成功.现将治疗与护理体会报告如下. 患者27岁,席汉综合征,闭经1年后予以雌孕激素序贯治疗2年.并于2000年6月撤血后第4天用HMG 150 U*d-1肌肉注射促排卵治疗,治疗后卵泡生长良好,获卵9枚.ET 后给人绒毛膜促性腺素(HCG)2000 IU肌肉注射1次,维持其黄体功能.并嘱患者2日后来院检查决定是否再用HCG,患者未遵医嘱,擅自在家肌注HCG,ET后第5天,患者腹胀、胸闷、恶心.经B超提示有腹水、少量胸水.立即行白蛋白静滴、放腹水、抗炎等治疗,临床症状消失出院.停经49天后B超监测示子宫腔内有孕囊,并见胎心搏动,确诊为临床妊娠. 术前患者应加强心理治疗.不孕症患者在接受治疗时对手术成功常抱有极大希望,而且情绪敏感;情绪的变化能影响卵泡的发育.故患者需要一个较为稳定的心理环境接受治疗.医护人员应有针对性地予以心理治疗,向患者介绍治疗的全过程以及应用药物治疗的意义,给患者有一定的思想准备,能更好地配合治疗.避免穿刺点发生感染,取卵的前两日给病人以生理盐水冲洗阴道,手术过程中严密无菌操作.取卵与移植术后嘱病人卧床6 h,移植后取仰卧位时将臀部略抬高,以利于受精卵在子宫腔内着床.     

Individual results of treatment of COPD with low doses of fenoterol compared with treatment with ipratropium bromide

We compared the effects of 30-day treatments with fenoterol in low doses (4 x 100 mcg) and ipratropium bromide (4 x 40 mcg) on the lung function parameters (LFP), dyspnea and physical capacity of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1 < 35% pred.) and analysed the individual response of patients to the administered therapy. The study included two groups of patients treated with fenoterol (n = 22) and ipratropium bromide (n = 22). The patients were matched by functional characteristics (age: 60 +/- 7 and 57 +/- 9 years; ATS Dyspnea Scale: 2.7 +/- 0.8 and 2.4 +/- 0.9; FEV1%: 25 +/- 7% and 23 +/- 6%; pO2: 62.4 +/- 5.3 mm Hg and 61.0 +/- 9.5 mm Hg; all values mean +/- SD). After 30 days of treatment we measured the lung function parameters (FEV1, FVC), dyspnea indices (ATS dyspnea scale, Borg scale) and the physical capacity of the patients (6-minute walking distance test). The results showed that in an open experiment fenoterol (4 x 100 mcg daily), unlike ipratropium bromide (4 x 40 mcg daily), cannot improve statistically and clinically significantly the lung function parameters, dyspnea and the physical capacity of the group as a whole. However, when the findings were assessed for each patient individually, 32% of the patients proved to have responded positively to the treatment. Therefore efficaciousness of fenoterol in low doses should be determined by assessing the lung function parameters, dyspnea and the physical capacity individually for each patient.     

福辛普利治疗高血压合并糖尿病的疗效观察

目的观察福辛普利联合硝苯地平控释片治疗高血压合并糖尿病患者的临床疗效。方法将60例高血压合并糖尿病患者随机分为两组,常规治疗组(对照组)30例,应用硝苯地平控释片30mg/d,治疗2周;福辛普利治疗组30例,用福辛普利10～20mg/d+硝苯地平控释片30mg/d,治疗2周,观察血压控制情况,并观察其对24h尿蛋白定量、心率、血清肌酐定量的影响。结果福辛普利治疗组在降低血压的同时,明显减少24h尿蛋白的排泄,而两组治疗前后心率、血清肌酐定量无明显变化。结论福辛普利联合硝苯地平控释片在取得较理想降压效果的同时,明显减少24h尿蛋白的排泄,而对心率、血清肌酐定量无明显影响。     

瘦素与多囊卵巢综合征的研究进展

多囊卵巢综合征是一种病因未明的疾病,其临床常见代谢异常的表现,包括超重或肥胖,胰岛素抵抗,糖耐量减低或2型糖尿病,血脂异常和罹患心血管疾病的危险增加.瘦素是一种新型的脂肪源性的肽类激素,其与肥胖、不孕和胰岛素间有着密切的关系.肥胖的多囊卵巢综合征患者瘦素水平改变,瘦素与多囊卵巢综合征的胰岛素抵抗/高胰岛素血症及2型糖尿病间相互影响,多囊卵巢综合征血脂异常及并发心血管疾病的患者瘦素也有变化.所以,瘦素可能参与了多囊卵巢综合征的代谢,引起多囊卵巢综合征代谢异常.
