Le Abilità, le Credenze e il Concetto di sé Meta-Emotivo in preadolescenti e adolescenti. Primi risultati di ricerca con il Test IE-ACCME.

2012

L'IE-ACCME è uno strumento di misurazione dell’Intelligenza Emotiva, destinato a preadolescenti e adolescenti, ispirato al modello di Salovey e Mayer del 1997. L’intelligenza emotiva – come ogni altra forma di intelligenza – ha una sua validità adattiva. Le emozioni, infatti, sono segnali che necessitano di vere e proprie abilità di elaborazioni cognitive, che riguardano sia la sfera personale che interpersonale. Le abilità emotive possono essere collocate lungo un continuum che parte da quelle di base fino a quelle più complesse. STRUTTURA Lo strumento consente di misurare le quattro dimensioni dell’intelligenza emotiva definite nel modello di Mayer e Salovey, la Percezione, l’Uso, la Comp…

Intra-Rater Test-Retest Reliability of Self-Reported Child Functioning Module

2020

Determining disability prevalence is an important area for population statistics, especially among young adolescents. The Washington Group on Disability Statistics is one source of reporting disabilities through functional difficulties. However, young adolescents self-reporting this measure is in its infancy. The purpose of this study was to carry out an intra-rater test-retest reliability study on a modified set of items for self-reporting functional difficulties. Young adolescents (n=74; boys=64%; age m=13.7, SD=1.8) completed a self-reported version of the child functioning module in a supervised classroom. The second administration took place two weeks later. Intraclass correlation coef…

The role of Doppler ultrasonography in determining the proper surgical approach to the management of varicocele in children and adolescents

2006

In a study from Italy, colour-Doppler ultrasonography was a reliable diagnostic tool in the preoperative assessment of patients with varicocele. The authors also found that it helped to distinguish those who could be treated laparoscopically from those who should be treated by microsurgical subinguinal ligature. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) is a reliable diagnostic tool for selecting patients with varicocele to undergo either laparoscopy or open microsurgical subinguinal ligation. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a 3-year period, 42 boys affected by left varicocele were evaluated before surgery by inguinal and scrotal CDUS. Using this method it was possible …

Association of ADHD with genetic variants in the 5'-region of the dopamine transporter gene: evidence for allelic heterogeneity.

2008

Contains fulltext : 69953.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Multiple studies have reported an association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the 10-repeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1). Yet, recent meta-analyses of available data find little or no evidence for this association; although there is strong evidence for heterogeneity between datasets. This pattern of findings could arise for several reasons including the presence of relatively rare risk alleles on common haplotype backgrounds or the functional interaction of two or more loci within the g…

Clinical, immunological, and molecular analysis in a large cohort of patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia: an Italian multicenter study

2002

A questionnaire-based retrospective clinical and immunological survey was conducted in 73 males with a definite diagnosis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia based on BTK sequence analysis. Forty-four were sporadic and 29 familial cases. At December 2000, the patients' ages ranged from 2 to 33 years; mean age at diagnosis and mean duration of follow-up were 3.5 and 10 years respectively. After the mid-1980s all but 2 were on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) substitution therapy, with residual IgG >500 mg/dl in 94% of the patients at the time of enrollment. Respiratory infections were the most frequent manifestation both prior to diagnosis and over follow-up. Chronic lung disease (CLD) was prese…
