Article Abstract
Background: Effective coping is indispensable for negotiating the challenges of medical college. Numerous factors affect the choice and usefulness of coping strategies, and personality holds considerable significance among these.
Aim: We planned the present study to investigate coping-personality relationships in medical students, identify common coping strategies used, and study the influence of demographic factors on coping.
Methods: Students completed questionnaires with demographic details and two self-report scales: Big-Five Inventory (personality) and Brief COPE (coping).
Results: Out of the 300 forms distributed, 256 responses met the inclusion criteria. Brief COPE scores were higher for engagement/adaptive coping. Significant correlations were found between various coping strategies and personality traits. Conscientiousness correlated the most with adaptive strategies and neuroticism with maladaptive ones. We conclude that engagement coping is used more commonly by medical students.
Conclusion: Those with high conscientiousness and low neuroticism are more likely to use effective coping strategies.

Objectives: Many patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) experience impaired hand function, yet the precise nature and impact of this impairment remains unclear. In this study, we explored the determinants of hand function impairment in SSc from a patient perspective and its impact on daily life. Additionally, we identified unmet care needs related to hand function impairment.

Young adults use a combination of coping strategies to deal with challenges. Yet, limited research has focused on these combinations, as they differ across different profiles of youth and their implications during the major life transitions of emerging adulthood. Addressing this gap, the present longitudinal person-centered study assesses the nature, stability, predictors (stressful life events, sex), and outcomes (affect, attitude toward life, physical symptoms) of coping profiles during this period.

Cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTIC) is a serious and increasingly recognized cause of death and disability among cancer survivors. It frequently necessitates the withdrawal or dose reduction of effective anticancer drugs, limiting therapeutic options and affecting patient outcomes. While CTIC poses a major health risk, the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for this toxicity remain elusive, which complicates the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Newborn screening (NBS) for Fabry disease (FD) is an effective way to identify individuals with FD before the onset of symptoms, enabling early therapeutic treatment. The classic form of FD typically begins in early childhood or later, but the late-onset form often develops in adulthood. However, FD-NBS identifies positive cases regardless of the expected timing of symptom onset.
