From mental hygiene to mental health: ideology, discourses and practices in Franco’s Spain (1939–75)
2017
Based on an analysis of the discourses, the ideological appropriation and the practical influence of mental hygiene in Spanish psychiatry during the early years of the Francoist regime, this article examines its decline and subsequent replacement by the new concept of mental health promoted by the World Health Organization and other international bodies from the mid-twentieth century. The old approach, essentially focused on the prophylaxis of insanity within the framework of a set of interventionist policies of social defence, was thus transformed from the beginning of the 1960s into a much more ambitious and comprehensive project which sought to promote the psychosocial balance and perfo…
Influence of immigration and other factors on caries in 12- and 15-yr-old children.
2007
In recent years the Valencia region has undergone mass immigration, mainly of people from eastern Europe, North Africa, and Latin America. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of immigration on caries prevalence and experience in 12- and 15-yr-old children in the Valencia region, and to relate this to other socio-economic and oral hygiene-related variables. The data were obtained from the epidemiological study of oral health carried out in the Valencia Region in 2004. The study group comprised 478, 12-yr-old children and 401, 15-yr-old children. Immigration status, age, toothbrushing frequency, and intake of cariogenic foods between meals showed significant association in a …
Health-related quality of life of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis coming from 3 different geographic areas. The PRINTO multinational qual…
2006
OBJECTIVES: To compare health-related quality of life (HRQL) and to identify clinical determinants for poor HRQL of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) coming from three geographic areas.METHODS: The HRQL was assessed through the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ). A total of 30 countries were included grouped in three geographic areas: 16 countries in Western Europe; 10 in Eastern Europe; and four in Latin America. Potential determinants of poor HRQL included demographic data, physician's and parent's global assessments, measures of joint inflammation, disability as measured by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Poor HRQL was de…
The Role of Spatial Plans Adopted at the Local Level in the Spatial Planning Systems of Central and Eastern European Countries
2022
The article deals with the issue of spatial plans at the local level. The aims of this paper are (1) extracting the characteristics of local spatial plans that can be compared more broadly (2) identifying, on this basis, the role of spatial plans at the local level in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In achieving these aims, the authors have critically examined spatial plans and their performance, as well as the planning systems they belong to. Hence, they have investigated the types of local plans in each country, their legal features, and the layout of their content. This examination has revealed a host of problems in the workings of the CEE planning systems. The article…
L’architettura gotica in Sicilia centro-orientale nelle perizie degli architetti d’età moderna
2018
L’ARCHITETTURA GOTICA IN SICILIA CENTRO-ORIENTALE NELLE PERIZIE DEGLI ARCHITETTI D’ETÀ MODERNA Il contributo si concentra sulla percezione e sulla valutazione da parte degli architetti siciliani d’età moderna di opere costruite sull’isola in età gotica. L’occasione del confronto emerge soprattutto dalle perizie redatte durante l’elaborazione di nuovi progetti (di ammodernamento, di completamento) che contemplano la salvaguardia o la distruzione delle strutture del passato. Le relazioni selezionate in questa occasione affrontano pertanto questioni di carattere prevalentemente estetico e di linguaggio, ma anche le ragioni inerenti alle strutture e quelle relative alle economie (di cantiere, d…
ScreenPro FH - Screening Project for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Central, Southern and Eastern Europe: Basic Epidemiology
2017
Uvod: I přes velký pokrok v nedavne době je familiarni hypercholesterolemie (FH) stale jestě celosvětově podceňovane, nedostatecně diagnostikovane, a tedy i nedostatecně lecene onemocněni. O přesne prevalenci pacientů postižených familiarni hypercholesterolemii v regionu středni, východni a jižni Evropy (CESE) mame jen velmi malo informaci. Cilem studie bylo popsat na zakladě dostupných udajů epidemiologickou situaci v regionu CESE. Metody: Vsichni vedouci představitele projektu ScreenPro FH v jednotlivých oblastech byli požadani o poskytnuti lokalnich udajů, ktere se týkaji (a) expertniho odhadu prevalence FH, (b) již fungujicich zdravotnických zařizeni, (c) použitých diagnostických kriter…
ScreenPro FH - Screening project for familial hypercholesterolemia in central, southern and eastern Europe: Rationale and design
2017
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder with well-known genetic transmission and clinical course. Despite great recent progress, FH is still underestimated, under-diagnosed and thus undertreated. Furthermore it represents a significant healthcare challenge as a common risk factor for the premature development of coronary heart disease. The ScreenPro FH Project is an international network project aiming at improving complex care - from timely screening, through diagnosis to up-to-date treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia in Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. An important task for the project is to harmonise and unify diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in particip…
“Emotional Darkness without Solutions”: Subjective Experiences of Mental Health Crisis
2016
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to explore and describe service users’ subjective experiences of mental health crisis. The main research question is: How do people with severe mental health problems experience and understand mental health crisis? Based on a hermeneutic-phenomenological methodology, in-depth interviews with seven participants have been carried out to encourage reflections on mental health crisis experiences. The findings reveal the crisis as being complex and multifaceted, which contains two dimensions in experiencing crisis—an existential dimension (personal) and a contextual (social) dimension. Three main themes identified through the analysis, “Feeling out of contro…
Mutations in KIAA0586 Cause Lethal Ciliopathies Ranging from a Hydrolethalus Phenotype to Short-Rib Polydactyly Syndrome
2015
KIAA0586, the human ortholog of chicken TALPID3, is a centrosomal protein that is essential for primary ciliogenesis. Its disruption in animal models causes defects attributed to abnormal hedgehog signaling; these defects include polydactyly and abnormal dorsoventral patterning of the neural tube. Here, we report homozygous mutations of KIAA0586 in four families affected by lethal ciliopathies ranging from a hydrolethalus phenotype to short-rib polydactyly. We show defective ciliogenesis, as well as abnormal response to SHH-signaling activation in cells derived from affected individuals, consistent with a role of KIAA0586 in primary cilia biogenesis. Whereas centriolar maturation seemed una…
