Parental presence during pediatric anesthetic inductions.

Children's responses to parental presence during anesthetic induction have been researched thoroughly; however, not much is known about the response of parents to being present at their child's induction. The purpose of this research was to examine parent's preparation for, attitudes and emotions about, and experiences with being present for their child's anesthetic induction. Participants included parents who accompanied their children ranging from 1 to 10 years of age during induction by general anesthesia. Multiple-choice surveys were distributed preoperatively to a convenience sample of 55 parents who were present for their child's anesthetic induction. Of 55 surveys, 38 (69%) were returned postoperatively. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, cross-tabulations with chi 2 tests, and correlation coefficients. In general, parents felt accurately prepared and satisfied with their preparation. They thought their presence was beneficial to their child, themselves, and anesthesia personnel. Overall satisfaction with preparation was related to the completeness of the information they received (r = 0.35; P < .04). Complete and accurate information about the induction event before surgery and emotional support during induction are important psychosocial aspects of anesthesia care for parents who plan to be present during their child's induction.

Nutrition for the marathon and other endurance sports: environmental stress and dehydration.

1) During exercise, the body's ability to safely regulate internal temperature is influenced by the environment, exercise intensity, clothing, and the athlete's level of fitness and acclimation. 2) Effective thermoregulation during exercise in the heat requires the evaporation of sweat. The onset of sweating during exercise is triggered by an increase in core body temperature. 3) Dehydration compromises cardiovascular and thermoregulatory function, limits physical work capacity, and increases the risk of heat-related health problems. 4) Physiological and behavioral adaptations help the body cope with the combined demands imposed by exercise and environment. 5) Ad libitum fluid intake is insufficient to protect against dehydration.

Gender differences in the psychosocial correlates of suicidal ideation among adolescents.

Gender differences in the psychosocial correlates of suicidal ideation were studied. A sample of 613 high school students (ages 14-19) completed measures of suicidal ideation, depression, hopelessness, life stress, loneliness, alcohol and drug use, and reasons for living. The results of a discriminant function analysis indicated that males reported higher loneliness and substance abuse scores than females whereas females reported greater suicidal ideation, depression, and reasons for living. The results of multiple regression analyses found that, although the same four variables, depression, hopelessness, substance abuse, and few reasons for living emerged as significant predictors of suicidal ideation in both samples, the predictive equation accounted for more of the variance in ideation scores in females (57%) than in males (46%). In a final analysis a discriminant function analysis of the subscales of the reasons for living inventory revealed that females have a greater fear of death and injury whereas males have a greater fear of social disapproval over having suicidal thoughts. This may account for the greater rate of suicide completing among males. Fear of social disapproval, more anger and impulsivity, and less help-seeking behavior among males are offered as potential variables to explain the observed gender differences.
