Book reviews International Journal of Emotional Education, 15(2)
The books reviewed here explore the myriad ways in which the relationships that children and young people experience within the family, in schools and community, and with their peers have a profound impact on their development. The first book, L'apprendimento sociale ed emotivo. Teorie e buone pratiche per promuovere la salute mentale a scuola by Valeria Cavioni & Ilaria Grazzani, provides an extremely useful theoretical overview of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and the various explanatory models that underpin it. The research evidence is clearly evaluated and the implications for practice explored by two renowned experts in the field. Examples of recent interventions as practised in schools today will be useful for researchers and teachers alike, as well as for those who are developing policies to enhance the emotional health and wellbeing of all children and young people, and for all healthcare professionals who work with children and youth. It is published in Italian but it is to be hoped that a translation into English will soon be forthcoming so that it will reach a wider audience.

Vulnerabilities Relevant for Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children/Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors
The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) and domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) occur across the United States, violating the rights and health of far too many children and youth. Adequate prevention efforts should seek to understand the factors that make minors vulnerable to sexual exploitation in order to properly design programs to prevent victimization. This review presents the identified risk factors collected via a systematic literature review. Following full-text review, 15 studies were selected for inclusion by meeting the following criteria: original quantitative or qualitative research studies published in English from January 2010 to September 2017 with titles or abstracts that indicated a focus on the risk factors, vulnerabilities, or statistics of CSEC/DMST and a domestic focus on CSEC/DMST (for U.S.-based journals) with findings that did not combine associations between minors and adults in the study. Relevant risk factors and vulnerabilities found in this review include child abuse and maltreatment, caregiver strain, running away or being thrown away, substance use, peer influence, witnessing family violence or criminality, poverty or material need, difficulty in school, conflict with parents, poor mental health or view of self, involvement in child protective services, involvement in juvenile detention or delinquency, early substance use, and prior rape or adolescent sexual victimization.

Menthol cigarettes and the public health standard: a systematic review
Background
Although menthol was not banned under the Tobacco Control Act, the law made it clear that this did not prevent the Food and Drug Administration from issuing a product standard to ban menthol to protect public health. The purpose of this review was to update the evidence synthesis regarding the role of menthol in initiation, dependence and cessation.
Methods
A systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on menthol cigarettes via a PubMed search through May 9, 2017. The National Cancer Institute’s Bibliography of Literature on Menthol and Tobacco and the FDA’s 2011 report and 2013 addendum were reviewed for additional publications. Included articles addressing initiation, dependence, and cessation were synthesized based on study design and quality, consistency of evidence across populations and over time, coherence of findings across studies, and plausibility of the findings.
Results
Eighty-two studies on menthol cigarette initiation (
n
= 46), dependence (
n
= 14), and cessation (
n
= 34) were included. Large, representative studies show an association between menthol and youth smoking that is consistent in magnitude and direction. One longitudinal and eight cross-sectional studies demonstrate that menthol smokers report increased nicotine dependence compared to non-menthol smokers. Ten studies support the temporal relationship between menthol and reduced smoking cessation, as they measure cessation success at follow-up.
Conclusions
The strength and consistency of the associations in these studies support that the removal of menthol from cigarettes is likely to reduce youth smoking initiation, improve smoking cessation outcomes in adult smokers, and in turn, benefit public health.

Anakinra treatment in macrophage activation syndrome: a single center experience and systemic review of literature
Our aim was to report our experiences of pediatric macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) patients treated with anakinra and to review previous studies reporting anakinra treatment in pediatric MAS patients associated with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) or autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs). The study group consisted of pediatric MAS patients due to sJIA or AIDs, followed up in the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit of Hacettepe University between January 2015 and January 2017 and treated with anakinra (anti-IL1). We conducted a systematic review of the published literature involving pediatric MAS patients associated with sJIA or AIDs, treated with anakinra. Thirteen sJIA patients and two AIDs patients were included the study. Nineteen MAS episodes were observed in 15 patients. Anakinra (2 mg/kg/day) was started in with a median 1 day after admission. Clinical symptoms resolved, and laboratory findings normalized within median (minimum–maximum) 2 (1–4) and 6 (4–9) days, respectively after the introduction of anakinra. Steroid treatment was stopped in a median of 10 (4–13) weeks after the initiation of anakinra treatment. Patients were followed up for a median of 13 (6–24) months. Two patients developed recurrent MAS episodes when the anakinra dose was reduced, while the other patients achieved remission. In the literature review, we identified nine articles, describing 35 pediatric MAS patients associated with sJIA or AIDs and treated with anakinra. Except for two, all the patients reached remission. Our study and systematic literature review may help to improve the knowledge on the role of anakinra treatment in the management of MAS.
