Today marks World Lung Cancer Day.Each year, August 1 is dedicated to raising awareness about lung cancer – promoting education about the causes and treatments, and advocating for better patient care and support.Lung cancer remains one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer worldwide, with a high mortality rate primarily because it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.

So in a bid to tackle this issue, it's important to familiarise yourself with warning signs.One of the ways to do this is the five second 'diamond test', which can help detect lung cancer.

The test can be done at home, and is also known as the Schamroth window test, or window gap test.A woman called Ashley, 35, was diagnosed with lung cancer last year despite never being a smoker.

She has since been using her TikTok page to spread awareness on warning signs to look out for – and the diamond test is one of them.Ashley explained that both herself, and her friend Aurora, both experienced the symptom finger clubbing.

Peer Support, Positive Mindset Predict Resilience in ADHD Teens: Study
August 28, 2024Peer acceptance, a sense of self-efficacy, and a stress-is-enhancing mindset are strong predictors of resilience in older teens with ADHD, according to a small longitudinal study published in Child Psychiatry & Human Development.1The study, which followed 113 adolescents with ADHD from 10th to 12th grade, found that higher levels of peer acceptance, self-efficacy, and a growth mindset in 10th or 11th grade predicted higher levels of resilience 1.5 to 2 years later.Participants from the present study were assessed at three points:Peer acceptance at the start of the study explained 24% of the variance in resilience at follow-up. Teens with less severe ADHD symptoms were significantly more likely to report feelings of peer acceptance.Resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), which asked teens to measure their agreement with statements such as “I tend to bounce back quickly after hard times” and “I take a long time to get over setbacks in my life.”Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between peer acceptance and resilience, accounting for 39% of the variance in resilience at follow-up.“Greater self-efficacy has been associated with positive outcomes for children and adolescents with ADHD, including lower levels of depression and internalizing symptoms, and reported higher quality of life,” wrote Elizabeth Chan, lead author of the study.Though ADHD symptom severity did not change the positive effect of self-efficacy on resilience, existing research shows that ADHD symptoms can negatively impact self-esteem.A stress-is-enhancing mindset accounted for 31% of the variance in resilience.
