: Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) abuse is often associated with a wide spectrum of adverse effects. These drugs are frequently abused by adolescents and athletes for esthetic purposes, as well as for improvement of their endurance and performances. In this literature review, we evaluated the correlation between AAS and anxiety or aggression. Two pathways are thought to be involved in AAS-induced behavioral disorders. Direct pathway via the amygdalo-fugal pathway, which connects the central nucleus of the amygdala to the brainstem, is involved in cognitive-emotive and homeostatic processes. The latter is modified by chronic AAS use, which subsequently leads to increased anxiety. Indirect…

studio osservazionale retrospettivo della correlazione tra riduzione della massa ossea e disturbi comportamentali
Nel nostro studio sono stati esaminati due gruppi di soggetti, così suddivisi, un gruppo già con diagnosi strumentale di riduzione della massa ossea ed un gruppo controllo. Nel reclutamento del gruppo di controllo sono stati esclusi soggetti di età superiore a 65 anni, in terapia cortisonica per patologie croniche da più di sei mesi, individui che evidenziano all’anamnesi fattori che aumentano il rischio o le conseguenze delle cadute, quali disabilità, fattori ambientali, consumo di benzodiazepine, abuso di alcol o droghe, o con patologie note che possano essere responsabili di osteoporosi secondaria. La scheda di valutazione anamnestica, nei pazienti affetti da osteoporosi o osteopenia è c…
Effects of Age and Gender in Emotion Regulation of Children and Adolescents
2020
Emotional regulation, understood as the skills and strategies needed to influence and/or modify the emotional experiences, has a very remarkable implication within numerous emotional and behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence. In recent years there has been a significant increase in research on emotional regulation, however, the results are still divergent in terms of differences in emotional regulation in relation to age and gender. This study aimed to assess emotional regulation in adolescents in relation to their age and gender. Two hundred and fifty-four adolescents from eight schools in the Valencian Community and aged between 9 and 16 years participated in the study. The ad…
