Health on the net: the doctor answers
2011
This study is intended to provide new insights into web-based discourse on medical exchanges in doctor-patient communication. The global net system have certainly played an important role in the increase and the following modification of communication dynamics. However, in particular situation such as doctor-patient interviews, computer mediated communication is still a limit. This paper is based on two lines of research in language studies, namely the studies of language corpus and studies of communication in health encounters. The corpus is formed by the medical entries that appeared in biomedical/health service sites. The samples collected were analysed in order to find discourse pattern…
Chromoendoscopy: What Is Its True Value for Ulcerative Colitis Surveillance?
2010
Advanced imaging technologies are enabling targeted biopsies or endoscopic resections due to better visualization of the mucosal architecture. This new concept of ‘smart biopsies’ is in particular important for patients with higher risk for development cancer (e.g. ulcerative colitis) but can also be beneficial for screening purposes. This short review will focus on new imaging modalities like chromoendoscopy, digital chromoendoscopy, high-definition endoscopy and confocal laser endomicroscopy in the lower GI tract which will be crucial in the future to detect colorectal neoplasia earlier then before.
Multicomponent Exercise Training Combined with Nutritional Counselling Improves Physical Function, Biochemical and Anthropometric Profiles in Obese C…

Aerobics or strength exercise plus diet interventions have been shown to counteract childhood obesity. However, little is known with regard to periodized multicomponent exercise interventions combined with nutritional counselling, which might be less demanding but more enjoyable and respectful of children and adolescents&rsquo
Effect of a short-term psychological intervention on the anxiety and depression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients
2014
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a psychological intervention in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients, consisting of four semi-structured sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy combined with counselling techniques. An intervention group and a control group were established. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess levels of anxiety and depression. In total, fifty-four patients took part. Prior to the intervention, the intervention group displayed rates of 63.3 and 36.7 per cent for anxiety and depression, respectively, falling to 16.7 and 10.0 per cent afterwards. The psychological intervention demonstrated potential for the reduction of levels of anxiety …
On Conditions Instantiating Tip Effects of Epistemic and Evidential Meanings in Bulgarian
2012
Статья посвящена условиям, при которых происходит попеременная актуализация то эвиденциального, то эпистемического компонента в семантическом потенциале эвиденциальных показателей болгарского языка. Сосредоточиваясь на сентенциальных наречиях с инферентивными функциями, мы опираемся на следующие предпосылки: (i) для каждой единицы следует отличать её устойчивое семантическое значение от прагматического потенциала, выявлению которого способствуют (или препятствуют) те или иные коммуникативные условия; (ii) эвиденциальные и эпистемические компоненты значения довольно легко вытесняют друг друга из позиции доминанты, причём процесс подавления то одного, то другого компонента обусловлен действие…
Tumors of the central nervous system in children and adolescents.
2011
Multimodal treatment approaches for children with tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) have markedly contributed to improved survival. Before 1970, the survival rate among children with medulloblastoma, the most common malignant CNS tumor in children, was about 20%. At present, in contrast, cure can be achieved in more than 75% of children with a favorable constellation of risk factors. In this review article for clinicians, we give an overview of the current understanding of the pathology, presenting manifestations, early diagnosis, and treatment of CNS tumors in children and adolescents.We report the research findings of the German Treatment Network "HIT" and selectively review the …
Digestive Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NEN): French Intergroup clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up (SNFGE, GTE, RENATEN,…
2020
Abstract Introduction This document is a summary of the French Intergroup guidelines regarding the management of digestive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) published in February 2020 ( www.tncd.org ). Methods All French medical societies involved in the management of NEN took part in this work. Recommendations were graded into four categories (A, B, C or D), according to the level of evidence found in the literature until May 2019. Results The management of NEN is challenging because of their heterogeneity and the increasing complexity of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Pathological analysis is required for their diagnostic and prognostic characterization, which mainly relies on differ…
Modalità orientata sul partecipante in siciliano contemporaneo: i dati dell'Atlante linguistico della Sicilia (ALS)
2021
Il contributo descrive lo spazio semantico-funzionale codificato dalle costruzioni del siciliano contemporaneo che coinvolgono aviri a, putiri, sapiri e vuliri: (a) aviri a (avere da/dovere) + infinito; (b) putiri/sapiri (potere/sapere) + infinito; (c) vuliri (volere) + infinito; (d) vuliri + participio passato. In particolare, si farà riferimento a due domini funzionali intimamente connessi: la modalità orientata sul partecipante e la direttività. Il corpus di analisi è costituito dagli etnotesti e dalle produzioni a codice bloccato siciliano della sezione sociovariazionale dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS), nonché dalle risposte ai quesiti traduttivi (italiano/siciliano, sicili…
