The impact of a history of psychotic symptoms on cognitive function in euthymic bipolar patients: a comparison with schizophrenic patients and health…
2011
BACKGROUND: About two-thirds of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have a lifetime history of at least one psychotic symptom. Objective: To compare the neurocognitive performance of four groups: BD patients with and without a history of psychotic symptoms (BD HPS+ and BD HPS-, respectively); patients with schizophrenia (SZ); and healthy control (HC) subjects. METHOD: In this cross-sectional study, 35 stabilized patients with SZ, 79 euthymic (44 HPS+ and 35 HPS-) patients with BD, and 50 HC were administered a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests. RESULTS: There was worse neurocognitive functioning in both BD and SZ patients compared to HC. Overall, data from both groups of BD …
Emotional Processing in Bipolar Disorder: Behavioral and Eye-movement Evidence
2014
El estado de ánimo modula cómo se procesa la información emocionalmente relevante. El Trastorno Bipolar (TB) se caracteriza precisamente por la pérdida de control de las emociones, por lo que el procesamiento emocional podría estar cualitativamente sesgado. Este trabajo examina las variaciones patológicas de las emociones mediante la caracterización de los sesgos atencionales en el TB como factores de vulnerabilidad comunes a todos los estados del TB (i.e., sesgos-rasgo) o como factores de mantenimiento que sólo están presentes durante los episodios agudos (i.e., sesgos-estado). Para ello, se comparan pacientes con TB en cada uno de los posibles episodios (manía, depresión, eutimia) junto c…
Electrodialysis for wastewater treatment—Part I: Fundamentals and municipal effluents
2020
Abstract Selectivity, high recovery, and chemical-free operation are strengths of electrodialysis. Different configurations have been proposed for several applications. Effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (including sludge and supernatants), desalination plants, and animal farms can be treated for recovering water, nutrients, salts, and acids/bases. Although many applications are technoeconomically feasible and competitive with other zero liquid discharge systems, only a few real plants have been installed. However, the research is currently very active, thus paving the way for a widespread use at large scale in the next future.
Electrodialysis for wastewater treatment-part II: Industrial effluents
2020
Abstract Electrodialysis and related processes have huge potential in the treatment of effluents from a variety of industrial processes. They can recover water and other valuable products, including heavy metal ions, acids and bases, nutrients, and organics. In recent years, novel and improved systems have been continuously developed as a result of research in the field, showing that the (near) zero liquid discharge approach can be affordable in several industrial applications. A larger market share is expected in the near future.
Molecular semiconductor-doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions as new transducers for chemical sensors
2011
International audience; This article describes a new principle of transduction involving an heterojunction between a Molecular Semiconductor and a Doped Insulator (MSDI). Herein, we report on an MSDI-based sensor featuring an heterojunction between a lutetium bisphthalocyanine (LuPc), which acts as Molecular Semiconductor (MS) and a thin film of Doped Insulator (DI) made of substituted or fluorinated copper phthalocyanine (CuFPc, where = 0, 8, 16). Previously, we reported the peculiar effect of the heterojunction on the MSDI's electronic behavior, suggesting this device as a new kind of transducer for gas chemosensing. Indeed, of particular significance was the key role of modulator played …
Funcionamiento Neuropsicológico en el Trastorno Bipolar: Estabilizadores del Humor y Benzodiacepinas
2021
Introducción El trastorno bipolar (TB) es considerado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como uno de los problemas de salud más urgentes a nivel mundial y una de las veinte principales causas de discapacidad. Su principal característica es la alternancia de episodios maniacos y episodios depresivos con periodos de estabilidad clínica. Por otro lado, está bien establecida la presencia de disfunciones neurocognitivas en pacientes con trastorno bipolar, asociadas a factores clínicos, tales como el número de episodios afectivos y hospitalizaciones, la duración de la enfermedad, y pobre ajuste psicosocial a largo plazo. Sin embargo, el curso longitudinal del TB es muy variable, y un subgrup…
Elezioni 2013: la crisi del "bipolarismo imperfetto" (ed. ampliata e aggiornata)
2015
Questo articolo analizza l'interazione tra sistema elettorale e sistema partitico nel caso italiano confrontando i risultati delle elezioni politiche nel 2006, 2008 e 2013. A partire dall'osservazione dei diversi risultati delle elezioni politiche del 2006 e del 2008, da un lato, e del 2013, dall'altro, l’articolo dedica attenzione a come tra i sistemi elettorali e di partito non vi sia un nesso causale sistematico, ma una "interazione di reciproca indipendenza". Le prime due elezioni politiche, svoltesi in base alla legge elettorale del 2005, hanno portato a un mantenimento del sistema bipolare. Il terzo, al contrario, ha portato a un ripristino del sistema multipolare. Tali risultati dive…
A comparative meta-analysis of TEMPS scores across mood disorder patients, their first-degree relatives, healthy controls, and other psychiatric diso…
2016
Background The Temperament Evaluation Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS) is validated to assess temperament in clinical and non-clinical samples. Scores vary across bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy controls (HCs), but a meta-analysis is missing. Methods Meta-analysis of studies comparing TEMPS scores in patients with mood disorders or their first-degree relatives to each other, or to a psychiatric control group or HCs. Results Twenty-six studies were meta-analyzed with patients with BD (n= 2025), MDD (n=1283), ADHD (n=56) and BPD (n=43), relati…

Neuropsychological underpinnings of the dynamics of bipolar disorder
2015
Although we have gained enormous insights into neurobiological and psychological underpinnings of bipolar disorder (BD) symptoms, our knowledge concerning pathogenic mechanisms initiating recurrent affective episodes is still fragmentary. Previous research has highlighted the role of significant life events and social rhythm in recurrent episodes of mania and depression. However, most studies share the drawback of retrospective self-report data, which are prone to recall biases and limited introspective abilities. Therefore, more objective data, such as neuropsychological and neurobiological measures are needed to further unravel the pathogenic mechanisms of the dynamics of bipolar disorder…
