This article is the report of an International Symposium endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology, held within the Venice Arrhythmias 2007: 10th International Workshop on Cardiac Arrhythmias (Venice, October 2007). The topics of the Symposium are the following: how to stratify the risk of sudden death in the athletes; the role of different diagnostic examinations in the risk stratification of sudden death in the athletes; controversies on arrhythmias and sport; and exercise prescription in patients with arrhythmias.

Introduction. Heart rhythm disorders in locomotive drivers are a significant disease that increases the risk of sudden death and thromboembolic complications, including during professional duties. Conditions associated with cardiac arrhythmias in locomotive drivers can create a state for disastrous situations on the railway. Identification of risk factors for heart rhythm disorders and their prevention in locomotive drivers is an important task. The study aimed to study the role of vitamin D in developing cardiac arrhythmias in locomotive drivers. Materials and methods. We recruited the patients in the cardiology department's conditions, JSC "Russian Railways" in Moscow. The study included patients with detected cardiac arrhythmias. We did not have patients with a history of surgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias with organic myocardial diseases. Namely: ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, congenital and acquired heart defects, cardiomyopathy. Also, scientists did not study patients with somatic disorders, decompensation of chronic diseases, and endocrine and urinary systems. Results. The study revealed a widespread prevalence of low vitamin D levels among locomotive drivers with cardiac arrhythmias. The statistical analysis showed the effect of vitamin D deficiency on cardiac arrhythmias' development with a high risk of sudden death and thromboembolic complications. We revealed the negative impact of occupational stress on the development of cardiac arrhythmias in locomotive drivers. Scientists have found the relationship of vitamin D deficiency with the level of anxiety of drivers. A review of studies on the role of vitamin D deficiency in developing cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias, is presented. The results of the study are consistent with the data of the scientific literature. Conclusions. It is necessary to survey locomotive drivers to identify vitamin D deficiency with the subsequent correction to prevent cardiac arrhythmias.

Academic achievement in immigrant children and adolescents is an indicator of current and future adaptive success. Since the future of immigrant youths is inextricably linked to that of the receiving society, the success of their trajectory through school becomes a high stakes issue both for the individual and society. The present article focuses on school success in immigrant children and adolescents, and the role of school engagement in accounting for individual and group differences in academic achievement from the perspective of a multilevel integrative model of immigrant youths’ adaptation ( Motti-Stefanidi, Berry, Chryssochoou, Sam, & Phinney, 2012 ). Drawing on this conceptual framework, school success is examined in developmental and acculturative context, taking into account multiple levels of analysis. Findings suggest that for both immigrant and nonimmigrant youths the relationship between school engagement and school success is bidirectional, each influencing over time the other. Evidence regarding potential moderating and mediating roles of school engagement for the academic success of immigrant youths also is evaluated.

Tinnitus is a common otologic symptom and probably the most troublesome. Tinnitus causes a number of physical and psychological consequences, that interfere with the quality of life of the patient. Many authors believe that the presence of tinnitus in children is a matter of lesser importance than in adults because it is met less frequently and would be a fleeting symptom, inoffensive for them (Graham, 1981). In addition, the prevalence of tinnitus during adolescence and even in young adults is increasing, possibly as a consequence of the increased ambient noise (Bulbul SF, Shargorodsky J). Various therapeutic approaches have generated different results, which led us to consider the role of psychological factors, hence the need to underline the particularities of this symptom in childhood.

The Relationship

The worldwide prevalence of obesity has dramatically increased, mostly in children and adolescents. The Emotional Eating theoretical model has proposed that the failure in emotional regulation could represent a risk factor for establishing maladaptive overeating behavior that represents an inadequate response to negative emotions and allows increasing body-weight. This systematic review investigates the relationship between overeating and both emotional regulation and emotional intelligence in childhood and adolescence, considering both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Moreover, another goal of the review is evaluating whether emotional regulation and emotional intelligence can cause overeating behaviors. The systematic search was conducted according to the PRISMA-statement in the databases Medline, PsychArtcles, PsychInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Sciences, and allows 484 records to be extracted. Twenty-six studies were selected according to inclusion (e.g., studies focused on children and adolescents without clinical conditions; groups of participants overweight or with obesity) and exclusion (e.g., studies that adopted qualitative assessment or cognitive-affective tasks to measure emotional variables; reviews, commentary, or brief reports) criteria detailed in the methods. Cross-sectional studies showed a negative association between emotional regulation and overeating behavior that was confirmed by longitudinal studies. These findings highlighted the role of maladaptive emotion regulation on overeating and being overweight. The relationship between these constructs in children and adolescents was consistent. The results indicated the complexity of this association, which would be influenced by many physiological, psychological, and social factors. These findings underline the need for further studies focused on emotion regulation in the development of overeating. They should analyze the mediation role of other variables (e.g., attachment style, peer pressure) and identify interventions to prevent and reduce worldwide overweight prevalence.
