Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects01:29

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or inconsistent. For...
Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood03:34

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Double discordance, a complex congenital heart defect, often allows long-term survival, especially in isolated cases. However, associated anomalies significantly impact patient outcomes and necessitate lifelong monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Context:

  • Double discordance (DD) represents a complex congenital heart anomaly, accounting for 0.5-1% of all congenital heart diseases.
  • While isolated forms of DD are compatible with long-term survival, approximately 90% of patients present with additional cardiac abnormalities.
  • These associated anomalies, including ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrioventricular (AV) block, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, critically influence the clinical course.

Purpose:

  • To review the natural history and long-term management of double discordance.
  • To highlight the importance of monitoring the systemic right ventricle function and associated anomalies.
  • To emphasize the necessity of lifelong follow-up for rhythm disturbances, right ventricular ejection fraction, and tricuspid regurgitation.

Summary:

  • Double discordance is a rare congenital heart defect with variable outcomes.
  • Long-term survival is achievable, particularly in isolated DD, but frequently complicated by coexisting anomalies.
  • The natural history is primarily determined by the performance of the systemic right ventricle and the presence of other defects.

Impact:

  • This review underscores the critical need for comprehensive, lifelong surveillance in patients with double discordance.
  • Understanding the impact of associated anomalies is crucial for optimizing management strategies.
  • Regular evaluation of cardiac function and rhythm is essential for improving the quality of life and prognosis in this patient population.
