How can hepatitis C be prevented in the long term?
2007
Abstract Significant advances have been made in preventing HIV infection among injectors but we still know little about preventing hepatitis C (HCV). Both prevalence and incidence of hepatitis C can remain high among IDUs even in the context of widespread implementation of harm reduction programmes. We need to develop new ways to fill the knowledge gap regarding HCV prevention. One way is to learn from the experts—those IDUs who, after long-term injection in social milieus of high hepatitis C prevalence, nonetheless remain uninfected. We describe a recently commenced program of research that focuses on understanding the strategies, behaviours, and environmental factors associated with "stay…
Cognitive processes related to problematic pornography use (PPU): A systematic review of experimental studies
2021
Highlights • Some people experience symptoms derived from pornography viewing. • Cognitive processes may be related to the development of Problematic Pornography Use (PPU). • We performed a systematic review of 21 studies exploring cognitive processes related to PPU. • We identified 4 cognitive processes relevant for the development and maintenance of PPU.

Association of extent of cannabis use and psychotic like intoxication experiences in a multi-national sample of first episode psychosis patients and …
2021
AbstractBackgroundFirst episode psychosis (FEP) patients who use cannabis experience more frequent psychotic and euphoric intoxication experiences compared to controls. It is not clear whether this is consequent to patients being more vulnerable to the effects of cannabis use or to their heavier pattern of use. We aimed to determine whether extent of use predicted psychotic-like and euphoric intoxication experiences in patients and controls and whether this differs between groups.MethodsWe analysed data on patients who had ever used cannabis (n = 655) and controls who had ever used cannabis (n = 654) across 15 sites from six countries in the EU-GEI study (2010–2015). We used multiple regres…
Elder Abuse in Live-in Migrant Carer Arrangements
2021
This chapter focuses on an issue rarely addressed in research: abuse and protection against abuse in live-in migrant carer (LIMC) arrangements. Based on a secondary analysis of data collected in LIMC arrangements in Germany, potential risks of abuse and protective factors against abuse are identified. The chapter shows that questions about abuse and protection against abuse in these arrangements have to be analyzed in the context of complex, interrelated factors, structures and processes. There is no clear answer as to whether LIMC arrangements increase or decrease the risk of abuse and neglect of older dependent people. Aside from the existing taboo against abuse in home-based care in old …
Central Serotonin2C Receptor: From Physiology to Pathology
2006
Since the 1950s, when serotonin (5-HT) was discovered in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), an enormous amount of experimental evidence has revealed the pivotal role of this biogenic amine in a number of cognitive and behavioural functions. Although 5-HT is synthesized by a small group of neurons within the raphe nuclei of the brain stem, almost all parts of the CNS receive serotonergic projections. Furthermore, the importance of 5-HT modulation and the fine-tuning of its action is underlined by the large number of 5-HT binding sites found in the CNS. Hitherto, up to 15 different 5-HT receptors subtypes have been identified. This review was undertaken to summarize the work that has…
Prevention of Violence against Children and Psychosocial Models of Intervention: Network Analysis of an Inter-Institutional Service
2014
This study describes an Italian service, the Inter-institutional Groups Operating against child Abuse and Maltreatment (GOIAM), which specializes in the treatment of child abuse. The GOIAM service is composed of 53 professionals divided into four different categories: social workers, psychologists, child neuropsychiatrists, and psychopedagogists. With the aim of detecting strengths and weaknesses of the operative model adopted by GOIAM, the whole service was analyzed through the application of social network analysis (SNA). The analysis revealed a low-density network, while the study of centrality yielded different distributions of power indicators (degree, closeness, and betweenness): pres…
FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES OF CONFISCATED ABUSE SUBSTANCES, CARRIED OUT IN THE LABORATORY OF ANALYSIS AND DRUGS OF THE CARABINIERI, MILITARY STATIO…
2016
The aim of this study was to define some methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis for technical verification of alleged drugs confiscated by the stations of the Carabinieri in Palermo and Trapani provinces. Observation concerned: the quantity of the confiscated material, the quantity of the active principle, the cutting substances and the consumption in adult and minor population. The Carabinieri ask for analyses of confiscated drugs to the L.A.S.S. laboratory, where the samples are added with the suitable standard and put to ultrasound. Then, the solution is analyzed with gas cromatography and gas mass spectrometry. In 2015 there were 1,000 analysed finds out of 1,454 total finds. …
