Blood Melatonin in Breast Milk-Fed Preterm Infants
Background/Objectives: Melatonin, produced by the placenta and pineal gland, regulates circadian timing and has antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions. After birth, neonatal secretion is low and its circadian pattern matures over months; evidence in preterm neonates is mixed. We longitudinally monitored morning blood melatonin from birth to 38 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) in breast milk-fed preterm neonates, assessing differences by time of b…
Familial Dynamics and their Impact on Clinical Outcomes in Greek Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
Social inequalities in child mental health trajectories
Social inequalities in internalising and externalising problems were evident across a range of EU countries, with inequalities emerging early and generally persisting throughout childhood
Main and interactive retrospective associations between parental rearing behavior and psychological adjustment in young adulthood
Gestational Weight Gain by Maternal Pre-pregnancy BMI and Childhood Problem Behaviours in School-Age Years
Excessive gestational weight gain in women with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity might increase problem behaviours in school-age children. Particular attention should be granted to avoid excessive weight gain in women with a pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity
Identifying the socio-demographic and clinical determinants of family functioning in Greek patients with psychosis
BACKGROUND: Studies on determinants affecting family functioning of patients with psychosis are still limited in Greece. AIM: The aim of this study was to describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics associated with family functioning in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Crete, Greece. METHODS: A total of 100 patients and their caregivers agreed to participate in the study. Family functioning was assessed in terms…
Breastfeeding duration and cognitive, language and motor development at 18 months of age
BACKGROUND: Breast feeding duration has been associated with improved cognitive development in children. However, few population-based prospective studies have evaluated dose-response relationships of breastfeeding duration with language and motor development at early ages, and results are discrepant. METHODS: The study uses data from the prospective mother-child cohort ('Rhea' study) in Crete, Greece. 540 mother-child pairs were included in the …
Family Functioning in First-Episode and Chronic Psychosis
Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Greek Version of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales IV Package (Faces IV Package)
The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales IV (FACES IV) Package. The original FACES IV displays a six-factor structure with two balanced scales-Balanced Cohesion and Balanced Flexibility-and four unbalanced scales-Disengaged, Enmeshed, Rigid, and Chaotic-and has been shown to have satisfactory internal and test-retest reliability. A total of 5…
Effect of high doses of folic acid supplementation in early pregnancy on child neurodevelopment at 18 months of age
Objective To investigate whether high doses of folic acid supplementation in early pregnancy are associated with child neurodevelopment at 18 months of age. Design The study uses data from the prospective mother–child cohort ‘Rhea’ study. Pregnant women completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire on folic acid supplementation at 14–18 weeks of gestation. Neurodevelopment at 18 months was assessed with the use of the Bayley Scales of Infan…
Dietary patterns during pregnancy and the risk of postpartum depression
Objective To identify and describe dietary patterns in a cohort of pregnant women, and investigate whether dietary patterns during pregnancy are related to postpartum depression (PPD). Design The study uses data from the prospective mother–child cohort ‘Rhea’ study. Pregnant women completed an FFQ in mid-pregnancy and the Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) at 8–10 weeks postpartum. Dietary patterns during pregnancy (‘health conscious’, ‘…
Psychometric Validation of the Youth Social Capital Scale in Greece
Objectives: This article describes the psychometric validation of the Youth Social Capital scale (YSCS) in 16- to 17-year-old students living in rural and urban areas in Crete, Greece. Methods: Sampling was performed among 27 secondary education units of Heraklion Prefecture. The self-reported questionnaire was answered by 692 participants (response rate 96.3%). The validation of the scale included both internal consistency and construct, converg…
