Adolescents with high levels of alexithymia may be at greater risk of psychological distress due to maladaptive coping mechanisms and reduced social support engagement. <b>Materials and Methods</b>: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 141 high school students aged 15-18 in Skopje, North Macedonia. Participants completed validated instruments including the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Adolescent Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences (COPE-A). Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, to examine associations between alexithymia and coping strategies. <b>Results</b>: The mean TAS-20 score suggested a high prevalence of alexithymic traits in the sample. Approximately 44% of adolescents in the sample scored above the clinical threshold for alexithymia (TAS-20 > 61), highlighting the prevalence of emotional processing difficulties in this population. Significant correlations were found between higher alexithymia and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies such as self-blame, rumination, and catastrophizing. Conversely, positive coping strategies like positive reappraisal and acceptance were negatively correlated with alexithymia levels. Participants with high alexithymia reported a greater tendency to engage in maladaptive coping behaviors. <b>Discussion</b>: Findings underscore alexithymia as a trait associated with emotion dysregulation and diminished coping flexibility in adolescents. The results highlight the interplay between poor emotional awareness and a tendency to adopt dysfunctional cognitive responses to stress, which may exacerbate vulnerability to psychological problems. <b>Conclusion</b>: Early identification of alexithymic traits and the promotion of emotional literacy and adaptive coping in adolescence are crucial.

There is a necessity for innovative biomarkers that facilitate early detection and prompt intervention, hence enhancing patient outcomes. <b>Objectives</b>: To assess and compare the values of biochemical markers of renal function (serum urea, creatinine, and cystatin C) in the preoperative and postoperative periods in patients undergoing LRP. <b>Materials and Methods</b>: This prospective, comparative study included 30 patients who underwent LRP. The investigated serum parameters-urea, creatinine, and cystatin C-were assessed at three time points: preoperatively (T1), immediately after LRP (T2), and 12 hours after the start of LRP (T3). <b>Results</b>: All patients exhibited normal preoperative biochemical indicators of renal function. Postoperatively, AKI was identified in three patients. Out of a total of 30 patients who underwent LRP, only three patients (10%) met the criteria for AKI diagnosis. One patient (3%) developed AKI based on increased serum creatinine levels, while three patients (6%), including the one who met the creatinine-based criteria, were diagnosed with AKI based on elevated serum cystatin C levels. Serum cystatin C levels were significantly elevated in patients with AKI at T2 and remained elevated at T3 in comparison to T1. <b>Conclusion</b>: The results indicate that serum cystatin C has greater sensitivity for identifying AKI than serum urea and creatinine in the initial 12 hours post- LRP.</p>","PeriodicalId":74492,"journal":{"name":"Prilozi (Makedonska akademija na naukite i umetnostite.
