Empathy is an essential component of our social lives, allowing us to understand and share other people's affective sensory states, including pain. Evidence suggests a core neural network -including anterior insula (AI) mid-cingulate cortex (MCC)- involved in empathy for However, similar associated non-pain raising the question whether pain unique its correlates. Furthermore, it yet unclear correlates converge across different stimuli paradigms that evoke pain-empathy. We performed...
Adolescent development and wellbeing now involve how the use of social technologies (e.g., media other online spaces) impact daily life. Especially during crises such as COVID-19 persistent injustices, adolescents rely on spaces for connectedness informational knowledge. Psychosocial impacts, both positive negative, have been found among racial-ethnic minority adolescents. However, role identity has understudied. The current study addresses differential associations experiences mental health...
The parent's role in the context of pediatric chronic pain is essential. There growing evidence that parent psychological flexibility positively impacts child functioning. To assess parents' abilities to respond with their child's pain, Parent Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (PPFQ) was developed. Here, we aim validate 10-item version questionnaire an English-speaking population and evaluate associations behaviour, acceptance functioning.Five hundred seventy-eight parent-child dyads...
In chronic pain, a number of brain regions involved in emotion (e.g., amygdala, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, insula, anterior cingulate, and prefrontal cortex) show significant functional morphometric changes. One phenotypic manifestation these changes is pain-related fear (PRF). PRF associated with profoundly altered behavioral adaptations to pain. For example, patients neuropathic pain condition known as complex regional syndrome (CRPS) often avoid use may even neglect the affected body...
Abstract Approximately 1.7 million youth suffer from debilitating chronic pain in the US alone, conferring risk of continued adulthood. Aberrations threat–safety (T–S) discrimination are proposed to contribute chronicity adults and by interacting with pain-related distress. Yet, few studies have examined neural circuitry underlying T–S patients or how relates In this study, 91 adolescents (10-24 years; 78 females) including 30 high distress, 29 low 32 healthy peers without completed a...
Summary Background Preoperative anxiety affects up to 65% of children who undergo anesthesia induction and often results in uncooperative behavior. Electronic devices have been used distract reduce create a more enjoyable preoperative experience. Few studies compared the effects different video delivery systems on anxiety.

Digital technologies shape how individuals, communities, and societies interact; yet they are far from equitable. This paper presents a framework that challenges the "one-view-fits-all" design approach to digital health tools. We explore systemic issues of power evaluate multidimensional indicators Latino outcomes technology can support well-being. Our proposed enables designers gain better understanding marginalized communities use navigate unique challenges. As an innovative possibly...

This division requires a modified centrosome cycle, wherein mitotic centrosomes with mature pericentriolar material (PCM) embed NL interphase reduced PCM leave NL. cycle Emerin, protein required for GSC survival germ cell differentiation. In emerin mutants, retain excess PCM, remain embedded nucleate microtubule asters at positions...
