As an intensely social species, humans demonstrate the propensity to contribute to other individuals and groups by providing support, resources, or helping to achieve a shared goal. Accumulating evidence suggests that contribution benefits the givers as well as the receivers. The need to contribute during adolescence, however, has been underappreciated compared with more individually focused psychological or social developmental needs. The need is particularly significant during the teenage years, when children’s social world expands and they become increasingly capable of making contributions of consequence. Moreover, contribution can both promote and be a key element of traditionally conceived fundamental needs of the adolescent period such as autonomy, identity, and intimacy. The neural and biological foundations of the adolescent need to contribute, as well as the ways in which social environments meet that need, are discussed. A scientific and practical investment in contribution would synergize with other recent efforts to reframe thinking about the adolescent period, providing potential returns to the field as well as to youths and their communities.

Pain is generally described as an unpleasant sensation and a universally understood sign of disease. Around 80% of women experience pain during periods from adolescent period right up to menopause. Dysmenorrhoea literally means painful menstruation. Primary dysmenorrhoea is one where there is no identifiable pelvic pathology. The pain begins a few hours before or just with the onset of menstruation and lasts for 24-48 hours. Secondary dysmenorrhoea is normally considered to be menstruation –associated pain occurring in the presence of pelvic pathology. Pain starts 7-8 days before menstruation. Endometriosis is one of the main causes of secondary dysmenorrhoea. Dysmenorrhoea can be correlated to Udavarta and endometriosis to Vatiki. In Udavarta, Sanga and Vimargagamana of Vata and derangement of Kapha pitta is responsible for pain. In Vatiki there is Apana vata vimargagamana, Vyana vata and Pitta vitiation causes Artava dusti and Dusta artava sthana samsraya in Kha vaigunya sites. So administration of drugs and treatment modalities crackling these factors involved in the etiopathogenesis do the work. Ayurvedic classic textbook along with available modern literatures were referred to make a clear view regarding the concept of pain and the main Yonirogas causing pain during menstruation and its management.

AbstractThe digital culture has a profound influence on the formation of personal identity among the youth of Gens Y and Z. The networked society has strongly affected the process of forming an “inner identity,” a critical task in the adolescent period. The design of digital social media and apps can enslave youth in the “hive” and take away the solitude and resources needed for them to cultivate their “inner identity.” Therefore, there is a need for institutions such as school, family, and church to reinvent better ways to accommodate youth and engage them with digital media with responsibility and discernment.

The escalating obesity among adolescents is of major concern, especially among those from an ethnic minority background. The adolescent period offers a key opportunity for the implementation of positive lifestyle behaviours as children transition to adulthood. The objective of this review was to examine the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions for adolescents and their impact in ethnic and racial minorities for the prevention of overweight and obesity. Seven electronic databases were searched from 2005 until March 2019 for randomized controlled trials of lifestyle programs conducted in this population. The main outcome was change in Body Mass Index (BMI) z-score (kg/m2) or change in BMI and secondary outcomes were changes in physical activity and diet. Thirty studies met the inclusion criteria. Seven studies reported and/or conducted subgroup analysis to determine if ethnic/racial group affected weight change. None demonstrated an overall decrease in BMI z-score. However, six of the seven demonstrated changes in secondary measures such as fruit and vegetable intake and screen time. Results did not differ by ethnic/racial group for primary and secondary outcomes. Overweight and obesity prevention among adolescents from ethnic minorities is an area that needs further research. There is a lack of interventions that include analyses of effectiveness in ethnic minorities.
