The authors employed a scoping review to examine peer-reviewed journal articles published 2002-2020 focusing on adolescents who are deaf or hard of hearing and their self-reported identities. d/Deaf identity theory was explored in light of recent advances in developed countries, e.g., universal newborn hearing screening, increased access to mainstream school placements, and rising rates of cochlear implantation. Key themes were explored, including deafness acculturation, competing and complementary identities, and flexibility and fluidity. The results demonstrated that the way adolescents perceive their identity is evolving, in what is often a flexible and fluid process dependent on the adolescents' context. Other identities, such as those relating to ethnicity and culture, were often seen as equal in importance to one's d/Deaf identity.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/apr-246-prima-1met.html  These findings are contrasted with those of wider research on d/Deaf identity, and further research investigating adolescents' perceptions of themselves is recommended.

 , which is one of the compounds with good inhibitory activity on DAT, blocked DAT-induced inhibition of D2R endocytosis. In summary, this study identified critical structural features contributing to the selectivity of a molecule for each of the monoamine transporters, critical residues on the compounds that bound to the transporters, and the functional role of a DA reuptake inhibitor in regulating D2R function.Both small for gestational age and large for gestational age (LGA) size at birth are associated with metabolic complications throughout life. The long-term consequences of LGA have been investigated in only a few studies. LGA is thought to be associated with early obesity and metabolic risk. Understanding how LGA can influence later obesity risk is important for pediatric obesity interventions. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese are at high risk of having LGA babies. Infants born LGA are at increased risk of becoming overweight or obese children, adolescents, and young adults and can have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome later in life and giving birth to LGA offspring. Education and intervention for weight control before and during pregnancy should be conducted to prevent LGA births. Particular attention is needed for women of childbearing age who are diabetic and obese, which could be the starting point for lifelong management of obesity.Pancreatic cancer is one of the dismal malignant disease in gastrointestinal tract. However, since the recent literature reporting median survival of FOLFIRINOX (leucovorin clcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, oxaliplatin) chemotherapy was more than 12 months in metastatic pancreatic cancer was published, the positive attitude toward the treatment of the advanced pancreatic cancer is gradually expanded among the medical and surgical oncologists. Due to multiple combination of potent chemotherapeutic agents, potential adverse side effects should be concerned when considering FOLFIRINOX. Herein, we report a 55-year old male patient with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who successfully underwent curative resection following by laparoscopic division of pancreaticosplenic ligament due to long-term preoperative use of FOLFIRINOX related hepatic toxicity associated with secondary hypersplenism. The present case suggests the extended radical PD with combined major vascular resection following laparoscopic division of pancreaticosplenic ligament containing splenic artery and vein can improve the safety of curative resection and may expand the potential indication of pancreatic cancer in well-selected long-term use of preoperative FOLFIRINOX induced hepatic toxicity associated with secondary hypersplenism.We present a case of third retransplantation using a whole liver graft in a 13-year-old girl who suffered graft failure and hepatopulmonary syndrome following split liver retransplantation with endovascular stenting of the hepatic and portal veins as an infant. She was diagnosed with biliary atresia-polysplenia syndrome, and thus underwent living donor liver transplantation from her mother at 9 months of age. The first liver graft failed due to stenosis of the portal vein. She underwent the second liver transplantation with a split left lateral section graft. Endovascular stenting was performed to the portal vein stenosis 2 months and hepatic vein stenosis 9 months after transplantation. During the next 9 years, 11 sessions of balloon angioplasty for hepatic vein stent stenosis were performed. Ten years after the second transplantation, she underwent third transplantation using a whole liver graft recovered from a 12-year-old-girl. The double inferior vena cava technique was used for outflow vein reconstruction. The graft portal vein was anastomosed with the stent-containing portal vein stump because it was not possible to remove the stent and the inner diameter of the portal vein stent was large enough. An aorto-hepatic jump graft was used for arterial reconstruction. The patient recovered slowly and is doing well for 6 months posttransplant. In conclusion, because stenting of the hepatic vein or portal vein can induce graft failure leading to late retransplantation, we emphasize secure vascular reconstruction to prevent endovascular stenting during LT in infants.
