Disease relevance of Family Relations

• Although opiate antagonists were able to induce slight and transient withdrawal signs and symptoms, there was, in the group of patients treated with clonidine and naltrexone together, a low percentage of catabolites in urine and an improvement in mood and family relationships [1].
• This study investigated the associations between important dimensions of family relations and the metabolic control of adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) [2].

Psychiatry related information on Family Relations

• PURPOSE: To examine the contribution of epilepsy-related factors, proximal (parent-child relationship quality), distal (parental characteristics), and contextual (quality of other family relationships) family factors to psychopathology (both broad-band and narrow-band syndromes) in children with epilepsy and normal intelligence [3].
• Significant predictors of depression as measured by the Children's Depression Inventory (R2 = 0.53) were youth's attitude toward epilepsy, youth satisfaction with family relationships, and unknown locus of control or external locus of control for socially powerful others [4].
• The purpose of the present study was to investigate possible interactions between a polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene and family relations on adolescent alcohol consumption [5].
• Behavioral and familial correlates of predominantly White, suburban heroin abusers were investigated to determine whether such abuse was self-contained experimentation or suggestive of generalized personality disorders and impaired family relationships [6].
• Changes of life situation, loss of business, property or occupation, loss of loved ones, separation from friends, disruption of family relationships are related to racism and persecution elements in 'Boat People'. The most frequent psychiatric illnesses among the refugees are: depression, anxiety state, psychosomatic disease and psychosis [7].

High impact information on Family Relations

• Titin: properties and family relationships [8].
• Uncovered: the family relationship of a T-cell-membrane protein and bacterial toxins [9].
• In contrast, the first-domain sequences of beta 1 molecules from these haplotypes are very different from each other and do not reflect the DR4, -7, -9 family relationship [10].
• Constitutive and induced phosphorylation of the alpha- and beta-chains of the CD11/CD18 leukocyte integrin family. Relationship to adhesion-dependent functions [11].
• CONCLUSIONS: Substance abuse is associated with low levels of satisfaction with family relationships among persons with severe mental illness [12].

Chemical compound and disease context of Family Relations

• The intervention was effective at reducing EE and improving family relationships [13].
• OBJECTIVE: This study proposes to test the hypothesis that early loss of a parent, coupled with poor quality family relationships, would result in long-term increased cardiovascular and cortisol reactivity to stress [14].
• PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Clozapine was significantly more effective than haloperidol on measures of symptoms (p = .02) and side effects (p < .0001), with nonsignificant trends in the positive direction on community role functioning (p = .06), family relationships (p = .23), social relationships (p = .30), and daily activities (p = .20) [15].
• The present research examined the correlations between types of family relationships and adolescents' beliefs about their own health. "Healthy" adolescents (N=765) completed both the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control questionnaire and Olson's scale assessing family cohesion and adaptability [16].
• Focus group participants reported that learning about their DES exposure was devastating; they experienced strains in their family relationships, emotional shock, a feeling that their health concerns were not appreciated by others and, to some degree, a sense of social isolation [17].

Gene context of Family Relations

• Modeling ADHD child and family relationships [19].
• Overall, study results suggest that undergoing genetic testing and learning ones BRCA1/2 status may affect family relationships [20].
• Multiple regression analyses showed that adherence (P less than .029) and stress (P less than .052) were directly related to metabolic control and that knowledge about IDDM (P less than .029), family relations (P less than .099), and adolescent age (P less than .086) had direct effects on adherence [21].
• The PACS scales of defiance and hyperactivity, and similar subscales from Conners' Teacher Rating Scale, were tested against laboratory and clinical measures of activity, attention, cognitive performance, psychosocial background and family relationships [22].
• In addition, Eating Attitudes Test scores correlated significantly with hostility toward child, sibling disability, parental overprotection, inappropriate parental pressures, and negative changes in family relationships [23].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Family Relations

• Specifically, patients' preferences for interventions addressing education (e.g. the disease and its treatment), self-management (e.g. pain-management, exercise) and the consequences (e.g. emotions, impact on work, family relationships) of RA were examined [24].
• According to the Family Relations Test, however, the emotional involvement in the eldest non-retarded sibling differs statistically significant from that of the corresponding child in the control group and especially so with respect to negative incoming feelings [25].
