Sexual Abuse-Current Medico-legal, Forensic and Psychiatric Aspects
2013
Abstract Violence against women and minors is a worldwide problem that has not yet been sufficiently acknowledged. There are many obstacles especially when sexual abuses have to be evaluated. These problems are present both when victims of sexual abuse are evaluated and when sex offenders are dealt with, especially when the offenders are juvenile sex offenders (JSO). These issues give cause for great concern about prognosis, and the resulting psychosocial implications, and call for a special effort from the scientific community in identifying appropriate prevention and treatment methods. This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the forensic and psychiatric features,…
TESTIMONI PRIVILEGIATI NEI CASI DI VIOLENZA: DALLE PAROLE DELLO SVELAMENTO AGLI INTERVENTI DI PROTEZIONE
2011
Lo studio analizza la questione della risonanza emotiva e dei conseguenti atteggiamneti degli operatori delle Forze dell'Ordine durante gli interrogatori di presunte vittime di abuso. Il contributo riferisce alcune significative osservazioni scaturite dalla somministrazione di due strumenti (un'intervista ed un questionario) a 9 "testimoni privilegiati" che vivono l'esperienza del primo resoconto del bambino e che rappresentano vari corpi delle Forze dell'Ordine delle città di Palermo e di Trapani. La ricerca dimostra la necessità di un percorso di formazione che aiuti gli operatori a mettere in atto modalità efficaci nell'accogliere il minore e nel raccoglierne la storia, costruendo un cli…

Sex difference in the interaction of alcohol intake, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus on the risk of cirrhosis
2017
Background The joint effect of the interaction of alcohol intake, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the risk of cirrhosis is still unexplored because a large sample size is required for this investigation. Objective Evaluation of interaction of HBV, HCV and alcohol abuse on the risk of cirrhosis. Design We analysed 12,262 consecutive patients with chronic liver disease of various aetiologies referring to 95 Italian liver units in 2001 or 2014. To evaluate the interaction between alcohol abuse, HBV infection, and HCV infection, patients unexposed to either factors were used as reference category. Adjustment for BMI and age was done by multiple logistic regression analysi…
Quality of life of abused older women: moderating influence of coping mechanisms
2019
In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) brought global attention to elder abuse and the need for prevention in issuing the Toronto Declaration. With the rise in the proportion of people aged 60 and over, but also the spectacular demographic projections for people aged 80 years and older (globally the number of persons aged 80 and over is expected to triple by 2050), how we age, and how well we age is of great concern. Furthermore, there will be a growing need to protect the most vulnerable older people from harm. For the development of policies and interventions, more insight into this complex phenomenon is required. Therefore, the current chapter examines the effect of abuse on the qu…

Salud sexual de los menores y jóvenes del sistema de protección y en conflicto con la ley
2021
La literatura existente centrada en el estudio de la salud sexual de los/as niños/as y adolescentes, ha reportado resultados heterogéneos que varían en función de las experiencias vitales y de la historia sexual. Los/as niños/as y adolescentes del sistema de protección, a diferencia de los/as jóvenes en conflicto con la ley o de la población general, han sido retirados de sus hogares por sufrir abusos físicos o sexuales, entre otras razones. La vivencia de este tipo de sucesos en la infancia se ha vinculado con una serie de conductas disruptivas, entre las que destacan las conductas sexuales problemáticas. A pesar de ello, tanto los/as niños/as y adolescentes del sistema de protección como …
The Interplay between Child Maltreatment and Stressful Life Events during Adulthood and Cardiovascular Problems—A Representative Study
2021
Psychological stress is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. While the relevance of early life stress, such as that which is due to child maltreatment (CM), is well known to impact individual stress responses in the long-term, and data on the interplay between CM and stressful events in adulthood on cardiovascular health are sparse. Here, we aimed to assess how stressful life events in adulthood are associated with cardiovascular health infarction in later life and whether this association is independent of CM. In a cross-sectional design, a probability sample of the German population above the age of 14 was drawn using different sampling steps. The final sample included 2510 pe…
Breaking the habit
2018
Internet gaming disorder has been widely recognized as a new health issue. At present, we are experiencing a rapid growth of knowledge on different aspects of this disorder, such as, for instance, prevalence rates, underlying neurobiological mechanisms, and treatment strategies. In contrast, preventing individuals from developing Internet gaming disorder is a matter that has not yet progressed sufficiently. Although we can basically refer to measures and techniques known to be effective in preventing other addictive behaviors, the special demands of preventing Internet gaming disorder remain largely obscured or disregarded. The policy actions identified in the review by Király et al. (2018)…
