“…The paucity of information in this area leaves clinicians without a clear understanding of how to manage hemodynamics, particularly during critical illness. Trauma accounts for 36% of deaths in U.S. children 1-14 years of age [4], and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of pediatric trauma [5]. Low Glasgow Coma Scale score, coagulopathy, hyperglycemia, early hypotension, and impaired cerebral autoregulation are associated with poor outcome after pediatric TBI [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

Traumatic brain injury is a global health concern and is the leading cause of traumatic morbidity and mortality in children. Despite a lower overall mortality than in adult traumatic brain injury, the cost to society from the sequelae of pediatric traumatic brain injury is very high. Predictors of poor outcome after traumatic brain injury include altered systemic and cerebral physiology, including altered cerebral hemodynamics. Cerebral autoregulation is often impaired following traumatic brain injury and may adversely impact poor outcome. Although altered cerebrovascular hemodynamics early after traumatic brain injury may contribute to disability in children, there is a paucity of information regarding changes in cerebral blood flow and cerebral autoregulation after pediatric traumatic brain injury. In this article, we discuss normal pediatric cerebral physiology and cerebrovascular pathophysiology following pediatric traumatic brain injury.

“…This interest can be attributed to the relatively high prevalence of adolescent suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (Evans et al 2005) and to suicide being the third leading cause of death among youths ages 15-24 in the USA (Hoyert et al 2006). Research also indicates both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts increase the risk for completed suicide (Brown et al 2000).…”

The present study examined associations among dimensions of suicidality and psychopathology in a sample of 428 homeless adolescents (56.3% female). Confirmatory factor analysis results provided support for a three-factor model in which suicidality (measured with lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempts), internalizing disorders (assessed with lifetime diagnoses of major depressive episode and post-traumatic stress disorder), and externalizing disorders (indicated by lifetime diagnoses of conduct disorder, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse) were positively intercorrelated. The findings illustrate the utility of a dimensional approach that integrates suicidality and psychopathology into one model. KeywordsPsychopathology; Suicidality; Internalizing; Externalizing; Homeless adolescents Dimensions of adolescent suicidality and psychopathology are of increased concern to clinicians and researchers (Bridge et al. 2006;Verona et al. 2004). This interest can be attributed to the relatively high prevalence of adolescent suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (Evans et al. 2005) and to suicide being the third leading cause of death among youths ages 15-24 in the USA (Hoyert et al. 2006). Research also indicates both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts increase the risk for completed suicide (Brown et al. 2000). This pattern of increased liability for suicide risk has led to a broader conceptualization of a suicide spectrum ranging from suicidal ideation to attempted and completed suicide (Lewinsohn et al. 1996).Moreover, psychiatric disorders are among the strongest correlates of adolescent suicidality (Bridge et al. 2006). Mood disorders are robust correlates, but post-traumatic stress disorder, conduct disorder, and substance use disorders are also associated with suicidality (Bridge et al. 2006;Evans et al. 2004). Krueger (1999), informed by the work of Achenbach (Achenbach and McConaughy 1997), developed a dimensional model of psychopathology and clustered psychiatric diagnoses into internalizing and externalizing disorders. As specific psychiatric disorders from both clusters are related to suicidal ideation and attempts, there is interest in linking the suicide spectrum to these broader dimensions of psychopathology (Hills et al. 2005;Verona et al. 2004).Our study expands on this work by including the internalizing and externalizing dimensions of psychopathology in a structural model of adolescent suicidality using a sample of homeless adolescents. Suicidality is measured with lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, internalizing psychopathology with lifetime diagnoses of major depressive episode and posttraumatic stress disorder, and externalizing psychopathology with lifetime diagnoses of conduct disorder, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse. We use confirmatory factor analysis to examine covariances among dimensions of suicidality, internalizing, and externalizing disorders. Internalizing and Externalizing DisordersAchenbach used an empirical approach to derive two broad dimensions (internalizing...

“…At least 24 million adults nationally are estimated to carry this diagnosis, which has been the fourth leading cause of death in the United States since 1991 (1). The single most prevalent and preventable risk factor for the development of COPD is cigarette smoke (CS) exposure (2,3), which accounts for more than 80 to 90% of the COPD cases in the U.S. (4).…”
