Metaphors in parent–infant therapy
Björn Salomonsson in Psychodynamic Interventions in Pregnancy and Infancy, 2018
Apart from stimulating the analyst’s intermodal mentation, the baby’s presence brings out infantile material in another way. The sight of diapers, breastfeeding, crying, belching, farting, etc. dissolves the borders between the analyst’s “instantaneous, intuitive, nonconscious knowing that affects physiological responses and behaviors” and a “more explicit awareness, usually verbal, of . . . the analysand’s current emotions, intentions, values, and goals, past influences, and present context” (Lichtenberg, 2016, p. 6). We criss-cross between imagery and words, between concrete and abstract thinking. Also, it is very stressful to sit with a screaming baby, and our infantile helplessness is awakened. This can push us to ward off affects, look for medical explanations, or wish to escape. Such impulses can be transformed via a metaphor into a better service.

Acute Lung Injury In Children Due To Chemical And Physical Agents
Lourdes R. Laraya-Cuasay, Walter T. Hughes in Interstitial Lung Diseases in Children, 2019
Obviously, prevention is the most important aspect of this problem.293, 307 Hayden306 lists many useful ideas such as making talc containers more safe (avoid the look-alike appearance with nursing bottles, use of safety caps, and printed warnings on containers); instructing parents to sprinkle powder onto their own hand for application; and removal of baby powder from hospital sample packs. Parents can also be taught safer and more effective ways of preventing diaper rash (such as not allowing wet or soiled diapers to remain in prolonged contact with the skin) and treating diaper rash should it develop (with exposure of the affected area, lotions,292 and com starch308).
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) from the urological point of view: Assessment of the urinary function in 38 patients

An interesting aspect is that when parents were asked if their child has never experienced “urinary problems”, the answer was no in all except 2 cases (5%). In contrast, when more specific questions were asked, it came out that the problem existed in 42% of patients (e.g., they reported urinary incontinence and retention). A possible explanation for this discrepancy is that wearing a diaper is considered as a means of convenience more than the expression of a problem of incontinence or a normal situation when the child has always used it. In addition, urinary symptoms are just a little expression of the underlying disease. In fact, the wetting is not a major concern considering the severity of concomitant problems. Another element that emerged from our survey is that growing up, children with SMA tend to retain urine, especially when they are at school. They frequently report that they do not want the aid of an “outsider” and they prefer waiting to be at home with their usual caregiver. This may partly explain the mean age at which the diaper was used again (13 years). Our results suggest that patients with SMA might have severe urinary co-morbidities (even if we do record neither urinary infections nor urolithiasis we had two children with urinary retention requiring catheterization). We have enlightened “bad urinary habits” that may persist and predispose to problems into adulthood.
A Qualitative Exploration of Adult Baby/Diaper Lover Behavior From an Online Community Sample
Published in The Journal of Sex Research, 2019
There is evidence in the data that while some individuals are uninterested in adult baby play, other individuals are open to such behavior or have experimented with it. Many ABDL participants appear to engage in adult baby play regularly. Thus, the frequency of adult baby play seems to vary. It is a mistake to assume that all adult baby play is alike. For example, the AB label may be a misnomer for some individuals. Several participants made it clear that they prefer to play as toddlers or children rather than babies, which has been found in prior research (Dickey, 2007; Giles, 2012). Furthermore, the meaning of adult baby play varies. For some participants, the role-play is about BDSM themes; for others, it is about being nurtured. These interests can also be combined (e.g., Table 3, quote 13). The nurturing motivation might include a desire for relaxation or to be carefree (e.g., Table 3, quote 12). From this perspective, some diaper lovers and adult babies have the same goals but achieve them in different ways (i.e., some wear or use diapers only; others engage in role-playing).

We evaluated the age at the time of diagnosis, PSA before prostate needle biopsy, Gleason score on the biopsy, clinical T stage based on the 2010 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) system, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score before primary treatment. Cancer-specific and overall survival was calculated on the basis of the index date, and the date on which treatment was started was set as the index date. Post-treatment complications such as urinary incontinence, new-onset erectile dysfunction, bladder neck contracture or urethral stricture, hernia, hot flush, sweating, mastalgia or gynecomastia, cardio- or cerebrovascular accident, or bone fracture were also reviewed. Urinary incontinence and new-onset erectile dysfunction were investigated at 12 months after primary treatment. Urinary incontinence was defined as either not using diapers or using one protective diaper per day. And new-onset erectile dysfunction was defined as a condition in which the patient complained of a deterioration of the erectile function after the primary treatment or requested an improvement of impaired erectile dysfunction. Among the complications, cardio- or cerebrovascular accident, or bone fracture, which could pose a life-threatening condition, was classified as “serious adverse events”.
