FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS PATIENTS ACROSS EUROPE DIFFER IN INTELLECTUAL QUOTIENT (IQ) AND EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
2018
Background Children who later develop Schizophrenia on average are more likely to present with lower IQ; this has been considered evidence for the neurodevelopmental theory of schizophrenia. Though, recent studies have shown that first episode psychosis patients with a history of cannabis use have significantly higher premorbid and current IQ compared to those who never used it. This suggests that abnormal early neurodevelopment does not explain the aetiology of all cases of Schizophrenia, leaving space to environmental hazards. The present study aims to: investigate differences in IQ, as a marker of neurodevelopment, and in exposure to environmental risk factors in a large sample first epi…

Chronic pain treatment through virtual reality
2017
Chronic pain is a notable issue of public healthcare, causing enormous direct and indirect costs, and a reduction of the quality of life in the affected patients. In this study, we have used Virtual Reality (VR) as a method to reduce stress, anxiety and pain in patients affected by chronic pain. We examined two cohorts of patients: an experimental group and a control group. The patients in the experimental group were administered eight VR sessions, each of those lasted thirty minutes, while the control group had a standard therapy. The results are encouraging: they demonstrate the efficacy of VR treatment and the safety of the method.
L’etica dei percorsi diagnostico-riabilitativi della madre assassina
2013
L'infanticidio è un delitto che provoca come pochi altri riprovazione e allarme sociale, con forte eco mediatico; l'opinione pubblica è messa di fronte al fatto che l'istinto materno “non è innato” (Pannitteri, 2006)1 e che le funzioni materne non sono sempre protettive. Il caso della madre infanticida è anche uno spunto di riflessione sulla relazione medico-paziente. L’approccio psichiatrico-forense, come quello clinico, presuppone una relazione autentica e significativa, il più possibile scevra da errori di interpretazione e da dinamiche contro-transferali, quali reazioni emotive di diffidenza e stigmatizzazione nei confronti del reo, che ostacolano il comprendere psicologico e psicopatol…

Assessment of Executive Functions in Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by NeuroVR
2012
Executive functions are often impaired in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We used a Virtual Reality (VR) version of the Multiple Errand Test (MET) inside a virtual supermarket, in order to evaluate the executive functions in daily life in 10 OCD patients and 10 controls. It is performed in a shopping setting where there are items to be bought and information to be obtained. The specific goal of this study was to implement a tool for the assessment of executive functions.
