Background The causal relationships between two specific types of problematic use in internet-related activities [i.e., social media (PSMU) and gaming (PG)] psychological distress remain controversial. present study investigated the temporal PSMU, PG, (i.e., anxiety, depression) university students. Methods Hong Kong Taiwan students [ N = 645; n male 266; mean 20.95 years (SD 5.63)] were recruited for a survey study, with follow-ups at 3, 6, 9 months after baseline assessment. Bergen Social...

Given the negative consequences of weight bias, including internalized stigma, on health outcomes, two instruments-the Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ) and Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS)-have been developed. However, their psychometric properties are yet to be tested for Asian pediatric populations.Participants aged 8 12 years (N = 287; 153 boys) completed WSSQ WBIS, they were classified into either a group with overweight or without based self-reported height.Both WBIS had factor...

Electrochemical approaches for generating hydrogen from water splitting can be more promising if the challenges in anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) harnessed. The interface heterostructure materials offer strong electronic coupling and appropriate charge transport at regions, promoting accessible active sites to prompt kinetics optimize adsorption-desorption of species. Herein, we have designed an efficient multi-interface-engineered Ni

Swyer syndrome, or 46, XY complete gonadal dysgenesis, is a disorder of human sexual development which present with female external genitalia, lack reproductive organs, and karyotype. Many genes that participate in have been implicated the pathogenesis dysgenesis.A 18-year-old phenotypically was presented primary amenorrhea. Surveillance revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, normal male karyotype absent functional gonad, confirmed by pathological examination streak gonad. Whole exome...

The three-item Sexual Distress Scale (SDS-3) has been frequently used to assess distress related sexuality in public health surveys and research on sexual wellbeing. However, its psychometric properties measurement invariance across cultural, gender subgroups have not yet examined. This multinational study aimed validate the SDS-3 test properties, including language, country, identity, orientation groups. We global survey data from 82,243 individuals (Mean age=32.39 years; 40.3 % men, 57.0...

Background/Objective: Overweight and obese children are likely to encounter negative impact on psychological well-being quality of life (QoL). Hence, for overweight children, measuring QoL could go beyond simply assessing objective medical parameters cover their physical health, well-being, social interaction. Generic (Kid-KINDL Pediatric Quality Life Inventory [PedsQL]) weight-related (Sizing Me Up) measures two major types measurement instruments; however, little is known about the...

To identify health needs, preferred sources of information and associated factors in Taiwanese adolescents.Cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey conducted adolescents aged 12-18 years 2010.Adolescents were queried about their healthcare service utilisation information. We compared differences reported needs available among gender groups grade levels. Demographic correlates adolescent further examined using multiple ordinal logistic regression analysis.Participants (n=5018) needed weight...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Obesity linked to cognitive deficits, elevated energy metabolic indices and low‐grade systemic inflammation. Do relationships between neurocognitive performance biochemical markers (e.g. inflammatory cytokines) occur independently factors known be associated with dysfunction (i.e. cardiorespiratory fitness) in young adults? main finding its importance? Young obese adults showed poorer neuropsychological performances, aberrant neural...
