“…Based on the Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease cohort recruited in eastern Finland, a long-term prospective cohort study has suggested that low serum magnesium levels are independently associated with increasing both the total risk of fracture and the femoral fracture risk in middle-aged Caucasian men ( Kunutsor et al., 2017 ). Using the method of meta-analysis and systematic reviews to evaluate the effects of magnesium supplementation on hypertension, a few studies have found that higher doses of magnesium lead to greater reductions in blood pressure ( Lawton et al., 2017 ; Volpe, 2013 ).…”

Magnesium is integral to many physiological processes, whereas variations in its levels, even within the normal range, can have critical implications for health. To explore the broad clinical effects of varying serum magnesium levels, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization and phenome-wide association study (MR-PheWAS) in the UK Biobank cohort. In total, MR-PheWAS analysis implicated a causal role of serum magnesium levels in five disease groups and six disease outcomes. In addition, our study indicated the gender-specific effects of nine disease groups/outcomes in MR estimated effects. The protein-protein interaction network demonstrated an interaction between the serum magnesium-associated gene DCDC1 and the cataract-associated gene PAX6. The present study verified several previously reported disease outcomes and identified novel potential disease outcomes for serum magnesium levels. The DCDC1 gene and the PAX6 gene may be the new targets for promoting the treatments of cataracts using magnesium intervention.

“…Nevertheless, studies have shown that lower scores in personality traits such as conscientiousness and emotional stability, compared to mothers of children with APD, may predispose them to parental burnout (Le Vigouroux, Scola, Raes, Mikolajczak, & Roskam, 2017)although agreeableness, which was at the same level in both groups, may play a protective role. Low conscientiousness and high neuroticism are also found in mothers of children with ADHD, which may possibly include mothers of children with APD, since symptoms in neurodevelopmental disorders tend to overlap (Ahmmed et al, 2014;de Wit et al, 2018;Lawton et al, 2017;Lewandowska et al, 2021).…”

“…Some of them may have problems with understanding prosody-related changes in a message's meaning. Summarizing, the difficulties they experience relate to auditory functioning and task-oriented activities that engage memory, attention, language, and reading (de Wit et al, 2018), and perhaps activities related to socialemotional functioning (Lawton et al, 2017;Rostkowska et al, 2013).…”

“…APD quite often coexists with other pediatric disorders (Ahmmed et al, 2014;de Wit et al, 2018;Lawton et al, 2017;Lewandowska et al, 2021). It is still unclear to what degree the behavioral characteristics of children with APD separate them from children with other developmental disorders, such as specific language impairment (SLI), dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disorder (LD), developmental delays (DD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…”

To investigate the relationship between self-perceived global stress and the personality traits of mothers of children with central auditory processing disorders (APD), and make a comparison with mothers of typically developing (TD) children. Design and methods: A cross-sectional study using two questionnairesthe Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and the Short Big Five Markers (IPIP-BFM-20)to assess five personality dimensions: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and intellect/imagination. The study material included 187 mothers, of whom 108 were mothers of children with APD. The average age of the children with APD was 10 years.Results: The average level of global stress was similar in mothers of children with APD and mothers of TD children. Mothers of APD children had significantly lower scores for personality dimensions such as: emotional stability, conscientiousness, and intellect/imagination. Increased perceived stress level in mothers of children with APD was inversely correlated with extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability. However, for both groups of mothers, the only significant predictor of global stress level was emotional stability. Conclusion: Mothers of children with APD, despite having similar global stress levels to other mothers, were different in terms of three personality dimensions, and these, especially lowered emotional stability, may play a negative role in coping with global self-perceived stress. Practice implications: The results of this study might be helpful in parental support interventions, including psychological therapy and counselling, and also in parental implementation interventions aimed at mothers of children with APD, especially those mothers who have high global stress and/or low emotional stability.

A European Perspective on Auditory Processing Disorder-Current Knowledge and Future Research Focus

Current notions of “hearing impairment,” as reflected in clinical audiological practice, do not acknowledge the needs of individuals who have normal hearing pure tone sensitivity but who experience auditory processing difficulties in everyday life that are indexed by reduced performance in other more sophisticated audiometric tests such as speech audiometry in noise or complex non-speech sound perception. This disorder, defined as “Auditory Processing Disorder” (APD) or “Central Auditory Processing Disorder” is classified in the current tenth version of the International Classification of diseases as H93.25 and in the forthcoming beta eleventh version. APDs may have detrimental effects on the affected individual, with low esteem, anxiety, and depression, and symptoms may remain into adulthood. These disorders may interfere with learning per se and with communication, social, emotional, and academic-work aspects of life. The objective of the present paper is to define a baseline European APD consensus formulated by experienced clinicians and researchers in this specific field of human auditory science. A secondary aim is to identify issues that future research needs to address in order to further clarify the nature of APD and thus assist in optimum diagnosis and evidence-based management. This European consensus presents the main symptoms, conditions, and specific medical history elements that should lead to auditory processing evaluation. Consensus on definition of the disorder, optimum diagnostic pathway, and appropriate management are highlighted alongside a perspective on future research focus.
