This article aims at proposing a reflection concerning some socio-religious phenomena of pharaonic and Ptolemaic-Roman Egypt that endure to the Late Antiquity, even if re-shaped and re-modelled to face new necessities. In particular, among the several case studies that might be taken into consideration, it will deal with the practice of the sale and alienation of children that is attested by several textual categories, from the late New Kingdom to the 8th century.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the correlation of a history of lower urinary tract symptomatology during childhood to lower urinary tract dysfunction in young adult women.
SUBJECTS/PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Introduction: Currently in Italy gender diversity has assumed a remarkable resonance and visibility both scientific and literary and this has facilitated the development of studies regarding treatments and support for children and adolescents with gender related issues.
Aim: This study has been articulated in three stages. First: Make a preliminary evaluation of the number of cases of gender variant youth seen by mental health professionals (psychologists, psychotherapists and paediatricians).

Introduction: In today’s Italy, gender diversity has assumed a remarkable resonance and visibility in both scientific and popular literature, which has facilitated the development of studies regarding treatments and support for children and adolescents with gender-related issues.
Aim: the aim of this study was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of how Italian clinicians (psychologists and pediatricians) perceive gender variant children and adolescents, evaluating their approach to clinical practice.

Migraine is one of the most frequent complaints in children and adolescents and it can have a significant impact on quality of life. There are several factors underlying the onset and the maintenance of this disorder and there is still no a clear etiopathogenesis common to all subjects suffering from migraine. Psychological factors such as individual characteristics, psychiatric comorbidities, and temperament are strictly related to psychosomatic disorders and to migraine.

Despite the fact that somatic symptoms are related to the quality of attachment, few studies have been conducted to explore the variables that mediate this relationship in childhood. The present study investigates the role of anxiety, attachment to peers, and depressive symptoms as mediators of the relationship between attachment to parents and somatic symptoms. 340 children (49.1% males) between the ages of 8-11 (Mean age=9.25, SD=0.89) participated in this study.

The aim of the study is to explore the impact of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) comorbidity in children
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Six hundred children with ADHD (mean age=9.12 years), recruited from 2013 to 2017, participated in the
study. A total of 96 (16%) children with ADHD displayed a comorbidity with GAD. ADHD+GAD were compared
to 504 ADHD children without GAD in terms of cognitive and psychiatric profile, ADHD subtype and
family psychiatric history.

This study demonstrated that a brief interview can reveal the mechanical reasoning that could not be assessed via the Bicycle Drawing Test. This study, conducted on 190 children (6 to 11 years old), shows that mechanical reasoning improves with age. It shows correlations with spatial reasoning and motor control, and with visual reasoning

We assessed the extent to which feelings of sympathy and aggressive behaviors codeveloped from 6 to 12 years of age in a representative sample of Swiss children (N = 1,273). Caregivers and teachers reported children's sympathy and overt aggression in 3-year intervals. Second-order latent curve models indicated general mean-level declines in sympathy and overt aggression over time, although the decline in sympathy was relatively small. Importantly, both trajectories were characterized by significant interindividual variability.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Fortunately, most children with asthma have a mild or moderate form of the disease [1], and symptom control can be achieved by ensuring adequate provision of care and continuously addressing the basics in asthma management through shared decision-making with patients and their families. However, asthma remains difficult to treat for a small proportion of children who may be symptomatic despite aggressive maintenance therapy and after management issues like adherence to treatment have been addressed [2, 3].
