This chapter focuses on the role of schools in the pathway to crime. It highlights research that points to the importance of relationships in development, reviews theoretical perspectives of relationships and the development of delinquency, and considers school violence. Next, the chapter focuses on the importance of school connections and relationships, with a consideration of engagement and bonding with school, failing academic performance, and dropout rates. School and classroom organization as well as relationships with teachers and with peers are identified as potential risk factors that further alienate troubled youth. Conversely, if these systemic and relationship processes are positive, they can mitigate the risk of moving along the pathway to crime. To conclude, the chapter revisits the theory and research, with a call to identify and intervene with the most vulnerable youth and leading to a discussion of implications for programming and policy.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a fatal neurodegenerative condition that affects the elderly, is a serious health problem for geriatric subjects worldwide. AD incidence increases significantly with age. It is almost 50% common in 85 -yearolds. [1] AD prevalence will rise as the population grows older and lives spans increase. It is estimated that around 14 million people will be affected by AD in the next 50 years. Switching to newer treatments can help reduce the incidence of AD. These treatment options can be effective against potential risk factors and delay the onset. What is the role of periodontitis in Alzheimer’s disease? This work aims to do a systematic, integrative review on published literature to evaluate if there is a link between Porphyromonas gumivalis (P. gingivalis), and Alzheimer’s. Part of (?) Part of (?) P. gingivalis could serve as a therapeutic target for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. It also help s to reduce the severity and incidence of the condition. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease could benefit from preventive dental care and the inhibition of neurotoxicity by P. gingivalis.

SummaryAntithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency is one of the few known abnormalities of the coagulation system known to predispose to venous thromboembolism but its relation to arterial disease is not established. We describe two related patients with this disorder, both of whom suffered arterial thrombotic events, at an early age. Both patients had other potential risk factors, though these would normally be considered unlikely to lead to such catastrophic events at such an age. Thrombosis due to ATIII deficiency is potentially preventable, and this diagnosis should be sought more frequently in patients with arterial thromboembolism, particularly if occurring at a young age. In addition, in patients with known ATIII deficiency, other risk factors for arterial disease should be eliminated, if possible. In particular, these patients should be counselled against smoking.
