Eventual Control

Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related diseases, which include acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, and primary liver cancer, are major problems throughout much of the world. During the past several years, safe and effective HBV vaccines have been produced that have opened the way for the eventual control of these diseases. Although of use throughout the world, the greatest need for HBV vaccine is in east Asia and subsaharan Africa where the vast majority of the population is infected with this virus by early adulthood.1 Early in HBV vaccine history, the late Dr Maupas and his colleagues2 showed that the control of HBV infection in the developing world was possible.

Schizophrenia and related disorders are common, affecting about 1 in 100 people, and typically begin in late adolescence and early adulthood, when people are in the prime of their lives. They are also major causes of disease burden globally and are amongst the top causes of disability in working-age adults in the world. Carers are significantly affected by the burden of these disorders, which are a leading cause of healthcare costs. Schizophrenia and related disorders are also major causes of premature mortality due to suicide and elevated rates of comorbid conditions, particularly cardiometabolic disorders. It is clear that the stakes are high, and this book aims to help the clinician give their patients the best odds of getting better.

The Way

ABSTRACTYounger sons of the gentry occupied a precarious and unstable position in society. They were born into wealthy and privileged families yet, within the system of primogeniture, were required to make their own way in the world. As elite men, their status rested on independence and patriarchal authority, attaining anything less could be deemed a failure. This article explores the way that these pressures on younger sons emerged, at a crucial point in the process of early adulthood, as anxiety on their part and on the part of their families. Using the correspondence of eleven English gentry families across this period, we explore the emotion of anxiety in this context: the way that it revealed ‘anxious masculinities’; the way anxiety was traded within an emotional economy; the uses to which anxiety was put. We argue that anxiety was an important and formative emotion within the gentry community and that the expression of anxiety persisted among younger sons and their guardians across this period. We therefore argue for continuity in the anxieties experienced within this emotional community.

Data Collection Technique

Fatigue and work stress can trigger insomnia. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder with a prevalence of 10-30% in the world population. One of the professions that are prone to work burnout are lecturers, especially lecturers who are currently pursuing postgraduate education. These lecturers have two roles, namely as educators and college students, so they have a fairly solid task. This study aims to determine the proportion and characteristics of insomnia in lecturers who continue their postgraduate education at the Faculty of Medicine. This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The data collection technique was carried out by total sampling by distributing questionnaires to lecturers who continuing postgraduate education at the Faculty of Medicine. This study involved 41 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of all subjects, 24.4% had mild insomnia, the rest did not experience insomnia. Mild insomnia is most common in the early adult age group, with more frequent in males than females. Subject have varying stress levels. More obese and do not apply sleep hygiene. All subjects do not smoke, most do not consume coffee and alcohol. In conclusion, the proportion of insomnia among lecturers who continue their postgraduate education at the Faculty of Medicine is 24.4% with mild insomnia category. Mild insomnia is more common in male lecturers in early adulthood with varying levels of stress and most of them are obese and do not apply sleep hygiene.

The article sets out a problem aimed at determining the structure of personal maturity in the period of early adulthood. The theoretical study revealed a lack of unanimity in terms of interpreting and conceptualizing the concept of personal maturity and defining its structural and content elements. The empirical study involved humanitarian students from the first to the third courses (females (103) and males (22) aged 17-20 years). As a result of the exploratory factor analysis procedures, an integrative variable of personal maturity has been calculated which is considered as a set of cognitive (self-understanding, positive thinking), emotional (self-sympathy) and behavioral characteristics (autonomy, sociability). The personality of a mature subject in the period of early adulthood can be described as distinguished by an optimistic view of the world and a deep understanding of his or her identity combined with positive emotions and self-attitude and the ability to maintain personal boundaries even creating close relationships with others. The considered algorithm for calculating the integral variable can be applied in studies aimed at studying latent psychological phenomena.

Transitional Phase

Given the growing impact of Science and Technology, particularly, information and communication technologies on every dimension of human life today, many parts of the world have been quicker in their response to the change for their own betterment. The wise realize that education lies at the centre of development in all fields. Therefore, these nations are now focused on upgrading all tiers of education to equip their youth with all essential skills to not only survive but lead their nations through 21st century. Pakistan is, unfortunately, one of the countries that lag behind. It has been, though, successful in upgradation of higher education. A lot needs to be done to bring school and college education up to the mark. Higher secondary education needs specific focus as this stage marks transitional phase of a child from adolescence to early adulthood at 16-18; hence significant changes in child's overall personality.

Abstract The rate of cesarean delivery (CD) is high in many parts of the world. Birth via CD has been associated with adverse later health outcomes, such as obesity, asthma, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Few studies have focused on hypertension. We investigated the associations of CD with hypertension, systolic blood pressure (BP), and diastolic BP and tested whether body mass index (BMI; weight (kg)/height (m)2) was a mediator of these associations in a birth cohort (n = 2,020) assembled in 1978–1979 and followed up in 2002–2004 in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. The CD rate was 32.0%. Hypertension was present in 11.7% of persons born via CD and 7.7% of those born vaginally. Being born by CD increased the odds of hypertension by 51% (odds ratio = 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10, 2.07). After adjustment for confounders, this estimate changed little (odds ratio = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.07, 2.06). In a mediation analysis, odds ratios for the indirect and direct effects were 1.18 (95% CI: 1.11, 1.25) and 1.31 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.65), respectively. CD also had indirect effects on both systolic and diastolic BP via BMI. Our findings suggest that CD is associated with young-adult hypertension and that this association is at least partially mediated by BMI. This has implications for countries struggling with the burden of noncommunicable diseases and where CD rates are high.

Testicular cancer is highly curable and, though relatively rare, it is the most common cancer among young men. Incidence of testicular cancer has been increasing constantly around the world since the beginning of the twentieth century, but factors responsible for the rise in incidence remain enigmatic. Only few risk factors for testicular cancer are established, including age, ethnic group, cryptorchidism and hypospadias, contralateral testicular cancer, family history, and height. While analytic epidemiologic research has provided numerous etiologic clues, many of them remain tentative. Overwhelming evidence indicates the fundamental importance of environmental factors in the etiology of this enigmatic cancer. Prenatal exposures seem to be instrumental in shaping the risk of testicular cancer, but postnatal exposures acting in childhood, adolescence, and very early adulthood are also important. Testicular cancer has also a strong genetic component that is studied through international collaborations and genome-wide association studies.
