Meaning in Life Mediates Between Emotional Deregulation and Eating Disorders Psychopathology: A Research From the Meaning-Making Model of Eating Diso…
2021
Emotional dysregulation, age, gender, and obesity are transdiagnostic risk factors for the development and maintenance of eating disorders (EDs). Previous studies found that patients with ED had less meaning in life than the non-clinical population, and that meaning in life acted as a buffer in the course of ED; however, to the data, there are no studies about the mediator role of meaning in life in association between the emotional dysregulation and the ED psychopathology.Objective: To analyze the mediating role of meaning in life in the relationship between emotional dysregulation and the ED psychopathology in three samples with diverse risk factors for ED.Method: Sample 1, n = 153 underg…
Combined Immuno-Chemotherapy (R-CHOP) Results in Significantly Superior Response Rates and Time to Treatment Failure in First Line Treatment of Patie…
2004
Abstract Lymphomplasmocytoid/ic immunocytoma (LP-IC), including Waldenstrom’s macro-globulinemia and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma according to the Kiel classification (the latter one subsummed as a variant of B-CLL in the WHO classification), is an indolent lymphoma, which is incurable by conventional chemotherapy in the advanced stage of disease. The anti-CD20 antibody Rituximab has shown remarkable activity in indolent lymphomas, in particular when combined with chemotherapy. Based on these results the GLSG investigated the efficacy of a combined immuno-chemotherapy (R-CHOP: Rituximab 375 mg/m2 d0-1; cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 d1; doxorubicine 50 mg/m2 d1; vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 d1; prednis…
Channel Capacity in Psychovisual Deep-Nets: Gaussianization Versus Kozachenko-Leonenko
2020
In this work, we quantify how neural networks designed from biology using no statistical training have a remarkable performance in information theoretic terms. Specifically, we address the question of the amount of information that can be extracted about the images from the different layers of psychophysically tuned deep networks. We show that analytical approaches are not possible, and we propose the use of two empirical estimators of capacity: the classical Kozachenko-Lonenko estimator and a recent estimator based on Gaussianization. Results show that networks purely based on visual psychophysics are extremely efficient in two aspects: (1) the internal representation of these networks dup…
Changes in visual function and retinal structure in the progression of Alzheimer's disease
2019
Background Alzheimer's Disease (AD) can cause degeneration in the retina and optic nerve either directly, as a result of amyloid beta deposits, or secondarily, as a result of the degradation of the visual cortex. These effects raise the possibility that tracking ophthalmologic changes in the retina can be used to assess neurodegeneration in AD. This study aimed to detect retinal changes and associated functional changes in three groups of patients consisting of AD patients with mild disease, AD patients with moderate disease and healthy controls by using non-invasive psychophysical ophthalmological tests and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods We included 39 patients with mild AD, 2…
Técnicas de análisis de posproceso en resonancia magnetica parael estudio de la conectividad cerebral
2011
Brain connectivity is a key concept for understanding brain function. Current methods to detect and quantify different types of connectivity with neuroimaging techniques are fundamental for understanding the pathophysiology of many neurologic and psychiatric disorders. This article aims to present a critical review of the magnetic resonance imaging techniques used to measure brain connectivity within the context of the Human Connectome Project. We review techniques used to measure: a) structural connectivity b) functional connectivity (main component analysis, independent component analysis, seed voxel, meta-analysis), and c) effective connectivity (psychophysiological interactions, causal …
Responses of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus adults to selected synthetic palm esters: electroantennographic studies and trap catches in an urban environme…
2010
BACKGROUND: The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, accidentally introduced into the European countries facing the Mediterranean basin, is becoming the most serious pest for ornamental palms in the urban environment. In the present work, tests were conducted on the electroantennogram (EAG) and behavioural responses of RPW adults to five selected synthetic palm esters, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl isobutyrate, ethyl lactate and ethyl acetate, to assess the application of a mass trapping technique in an urban environment. RESULTS: In the laboratory, EAG bioassays on RPW adults with the synthetic palm esters showed: (1) positive dose-dependent responses; (2) di…
Nietzsche o la voluntad de poder: una lectura
2018
This brief article suggests a reading of the nietzschean concept of Will to Power. First, starting from Heidegger and Deleuze¿s interpretations, an analysis on the differences between Schopenhauer¿s concept of Will and Nietzsche¿s Will to Power is developed, followed by a contrast between Nietzsche¿s Will to Power and Darwin¿s assumptions on the Theory of Evolution. Finally, Will to Power as a key concept in Nietzsche¿s ontology and epistemology is highlighted.
La teoría del sujeto de Otto Weininger y su influencia en la filosofía de Wittgenstein
2013
Esta investigación persigue fundamentalmente dos objetivos: El primero es ofrecer una interpretación de la obra de Weininger, Sexo y carácter, que considere su contexto y su conexión con los principales problemas de la historia de la filosofía occidental. Con ello pretendemos, por un lado, contribuir a una más profunda comprensión de la vida intelectual de la Viena finisecular y, por otro, mostrar la relevancia filosófica de las tesis que se defienden en la obra. Sin embargo, aunque la obra de Weininger por sí sola es lo suficientemente estimulante como para dedicar este trabajo íntegramente a su estudio – pues es una obra ambiciosa que ofrece una comprensión global del mundo y del ser huma…
Modelling analysis of centroid curves of olfactory habituation in humans
2020
Indexation en cours.; International audience; Previously published experiments established the time-course of olfactory habituation in humans, and extracted 3 centroid curves from clustering analysis that reflected high, middle and low habituation. The aim of the current theoretical study was to further analyse these previous experimental data by developing a mathematical modelling analysis designed for fitting the 3 curves from a general equation. After adjusting equation parameters for each curve, fitting equation outcomes on experimental data yielded high correlation coefficients of 0.9997 – 0.9995 – 0.9962, respectively. A model-based interpretation of olfactory-habituation centroid cur…
Stratégies de lutte contre le charançon rouge du palmier
2018
La communauté scientifique internationale (source : publication FAO d’avril 2017) s’accorde sur l’importance de la combinaison des mesures de lutte en fonction des niveaux d’infestation par le charançon rouge du palmier. Plusieurs mesures de lutte sont disponibles ou envisageables : assainissement mécanique, application d’insecticides à titre préventif ou curatif, piégeage de masse et biocontrôle (lutte biologique sensu stricto). Il est à noter que plusieurs expérimentations sur le biocontrôle sont en cours.Dans la perspective d’améliorer les stratégies de lutte contre le charançon rouge du palmier, il est demandé : 1) d’identifier les stratégies de lutte (en tant que combinaison de différe…
