Consequently, the PSP could be used as an intervention tool to decrease behavior problems and increase adaptive behaviors in young children.To save lives and slow the spread of COVID-19 Greece imposed a country-wide, 6-week lockdown and a stay-at-home order at an early stage. This study examines the effect of quarantine on young adults by assessing depression, anxiety, stress and the experience of positive and negative affect. The role of potential risk factors such as disruption of normal life, perceived threat of the disease, acquaintance with someone infected and gender; and protective factors, such as adherence to a daily routine and altruism was evaluated. An online questionnaire entailing demographics, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), measures of life disruption, perceived threat and adherence to a daily routine and an altruism scale was completed by 1018 undergraduates. Increased levels of depression, anxiety, stress and negative affect were found. Life disruption and perceived threat of the disease were risk factors in all psychological distress measures, while a stable, satisfying daily routine and altruism mitigated the negative consequences. Gender was a moderator. Acknowledging the psychological effect of quarantine on young adults should be the starting point for interventions. Helping people build a new routine and assign an altruistic meaning to the confinement can protect psychological health.Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a neglected disease of poverty. While nearly eradicated in high-income countries due to timely detection and treatment of acute rheumatic fever, RHD remains highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and among indigenous and disenfranchised populations in high-income countries. As a result, over 30 million people in the world have RHD, of which approximately 300,000 die each year despite this being a preventable and treatable disease. In LMICs, such as in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia, access to cardiac surgical care for RHD remains limited, impacting countries' population health and resulting economic growth. Humanitarian missions play a role in this context but can only make a difference in the long term if they succeed in training and establishing autonomous local surgical teams. This is particularly difficult because these populations are typically young and largely noncompliant to therapy, especially anticoagulation required by mechanical valve prostheses, while bioprostheses have unacceptably high degeneration rates, and valve repair requires considerable experience. Devoted and sustained leadership and local government and public health cooperation and support with the clinical medical and surgical sectors are absolutely essential. In this review, we describe historical developments in the global response to RHD with a focus on regional, international, and political commitments to address the global burden of RHD. We discuss the surgical and clinical considerations to properly manage surgical RHD patients and describe the logistical needs to strengthen cardiac centers caring for RHD patients worldwide. This study aimed to describe how Thai men cope with depression while receiving treatment. This qualitative study used in-depth interviews with 23 Thai men with major depressive disorder. Retrieved data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings are presented in four themes responding to the diagnosis, finding ways to cope with depression, letting go, and progressing toward adjustment. These findings can help psychiatric nurses develop gender-specific psychoeducation curriculum for men, including mental health knowledge, engaging in gender-specific counseling, and recognizing the adjustment process and the masculine perspective.These findings can help psychiatric nurses develop gender-specific psychoeducation curriculum for men, including mental health knowledge, engaging in gender-specific counseling, and recognizing the adjustment process and the masculine perspective. Coronary artery aneurysms are an uncommon disease whose incidence ranges from 0.3% to 5.3%. The right coronary artery is affected in 40%-70% of cases. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is among causative factors, in particular with stent implantation. We present a case of large postangioplasty aneurysm of the right coronary artery requiring surgical correction. A 70-year-old man with history of multiple coronary angioplasty procedures was admitted with diagnosis of aneurysm of the right coronary artery at the site of past DES insertion. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the large aneurysm was incised and oversewn with final grafting of the posterior descending artery with in situ right internal mammary artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. The treatment options for coronary artery aneurysms range from medical, percutaneous and surgical approaches. In this case the surgical approach was indicated due to the large aneurysm and the high risk of rupture.In this case the surgical approach was indicated due to the large aneurysm and the high risk of rupture.Currently, the only widely accepted indication for interventional treatment in cases of pulmonary embolism is hemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock. However, the presence of a right-heart thrombus along with a pulmonary embolism is a poor prognostic indicator, and catheter directed thrombolysis with use of thrombolytic agents should also be considered in this circumstance. Optimal management of right heart thrombus and high-risk pulmonary embolism is still uncertain. PLB-1001 cell line Herein, we present the case of an 81-year-old woman who presented at our hospital after progressive dyspnea and a syncopal event. The transthoracic echocardiography showed massive bilateral pulmonary, right ventricular and mobile atrial thrombus and also right-sided enlargement. The patient was successfully treated with acoustic pulse thrombolysis using the EKOS EkoSonic system and echocardiography revealed complete resolution of her right-heart thrombus and her high-risk pulmonary embolism 2 days later.
