Psychological and metabolic risk factors in older adults with a previous history of eating disorder: A cross-sectional study from the Predimed-Plus s…
2021
Goals To explore affective and cognitive status, later in life, in individuals with and without previous history of eating disorder (ED), and also its association with higher risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) symptomatology. Methods A cross-sectional analysis of 6756 adults, aged 55-75 years with overweight/obesity and MetS participating in the Predimed-Plus study was conducted. Participants completed self-reported questionnaires to examine lifetime history of ED, according to DSM-5 criteria, and other psychopathological and neurocognitive factors. Anthropometric and metabolic measurements were also collected. Results Of the whole sample, 24 individuals (0.35%) reported a previous history …
Psychophysical burden and lack of support : Reasons for care workers’ intentions to leave their work in the Nordic countries
2021
Long-term care of older adults is currently suffering from a shortage of trained personnel and high turnover rates. Care work is poorly paid, demanding, increasingly time-bound and both mentally and physically burdensome. In this study, we examined the individual, organisational and economic factors that predict professional care workers’ intentions to leave their current employment, using the NORDCARE survey data (2015, N = 3801) collected in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The respondents were mainly practical and assistant nurses. The analysis showed that the predictors of intentions to leave were similar in the four countries. The most consistent organisational predictors of leavin…
Selective protein removal and desalting using microchip CE.
2006
Abstract This paper describes the on-line sample pretreatment and analysis of proteins and peptides with a poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic device (IonChip™). This chip consists of two hyphenated electrophoresis channels with integrated conductivity detectors. The first channel can be used for sample preconcentration and sample clean-up, while in the second channel the selected compounds are separated. Isotachophoresis (ITP) combined with zone electrophoresis (CZE) was used to preconcentrate a myoglobin sample by a factor of about 65 before injection into the second dimension and to desalt a mixture of six proteins with 100 mM NaCl. However, ITP–CZE could not be used for the rem…
Contribution to the Knowledge of Dermatophytic Invasion of Hair
1970
We have used the scanning electron microscope to investigate the changes that occur in scalp hair during infection with Trichophyton violaceum . We provide information on the morphology of these dermatophytes and present evidence that their hyphae dig tunnel-like burrows into the hair shaft, dissociating hair into keratin fibrils.

The burden of mood-disorder/cerebrovascular disease comorbidity: essential neurobiology, psychopharmacology, and physical activity interventions
2017
Cardio-vascular diseases (CVDs) and CVD-related disorders (including cerebrovascular diseases; CBVDs) are a major public health concern as they represent the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Patients with CVDs and CBVDs co-morbid with mood disorders, especially bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), suffer reduced quality-of-life and significant disability adjusted for years of life and mortality. The relationship between CVDs/CBVDs and mood disorders is likely to be bidirectional. Evidence for shared genetic risk of pathways involved in stress reaction, serotonin or dopamine signalling, circadian rhythms, and energy balance was reported i…
Orthorexic tendencies and healthy eating in university students: which association with eating disorders, psychopathology, and defense mechanisms?
2021
Orthorexic tendencies and healthy eating in university students: which association with eating disorders, psychopathology, and defense mechanisms? higher in some immature defenses (passive aggression and somatization) than healthy-eating individuals, while no differences were found in mature and neurotic defense styles. Conclusions. These results support the existence of significant differences between ON and other (non-problematic) healthy eating behaviors.
Disidentity: New Forms of Identity and Psychopathology. Socio-Anthropological Changes and Development of the Self
2014
The passage from modernity to post-modernity deeply upset the group dimension, and, consequently, personal identity itself. Transformations involving the entire planet, socio-anthropological changes our society had to cope with are producing a change in the dynamics of identity formation and the appearance of new psychopathological figures. The loss of cohesion of the sense of belonging and the weak internalization process of the elements which form the individual identity (cultural, linguistic, religious traditions…) draw an essentially uncertain and temporary existence. Drawing on some themes of subjectual group analysis theory of personality, the article proposes the concept of dis-ident…
Triarhiskās psihopātijas pazīmju dzimumatšķirības
2020
Pētījuma mērķis ir izanalizēt zinātnisko literatūru un noskaidrot vai pastāv triarhiskās psihopātijas pazīmju dzimumatšķirības. Pētījuma izlasi veidoja 63 pilngadīgi respondent ar dažādu izglītības līmeni, kuriem tika dota Triarhiskā psihopātijas aptauja. Izlase tika sadalīta divās grupās- 33 vīrieši un 30 sievietes. Salīdzinot rezultātus tika noskaidrots, ka drosmes un disinhibīcijas skalās nepastāv statistiski nozīmīgas atšķirības starp vīriešu un sieviešu grupu, savukārt zemiskuma skalā statistiksi nozīmīgas dzimumatšķirības pastāv, vīriešiem ir krietni augstāki rezultāti nekā sievietēm. Iegūtie rezultāti ir saskaņā ar iepriekšējiem pētījumiem.
Neuropsychological rehabilitation in children with central nervous system tumors and irradiated leukemias
2012
Actualmente la intervención e investigación en psicooncología pediátrica se dirige hacia la evaluación de las consecuencias de la enfermedad y los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos, y a los factores predictivos tanto de desajustes como de aspectos adaptativos a la enfermedad del paciente y de su familia. Las tasas de curación alcanzadas en la actualidad, nos permiten contar con un número considerable de supervivientes de cáncer infantil, susceptibles de ser evaluados y poder determinar así las secuelas a largo plazo de la enfermedad y sus procedimientos terapéuticos. Además de incrementar considerablemente la supervivencia, también se ha mejorado la calidad de vida de los niños, media…
