Cracking the Code : The Impact of Orthographic Transparency and Morphological-Syllabic Complexity on Reading and Developmental Dyslexia
2019
Integrative Clinical Research
2022
This book embraces a comprehensive range of research across several disciplines, providing insights and fresh perspectives on clinical topics, emphasizing the integrative medical approach. The book also addresses an increasing role of artificial intelligence in the development of clinical methodologies, research, and patient-oriented care. The authors share expertise and experience in rehabilitation medicine whose healing-effects particularly depend on the interaction between the therapist and patient. Chapters present novel approaches in manual rehabilitative therapy of common painful and disabling neuromuscular ailments, exemplified but not limited to low back pain and migraine. The myofa…
Teacher's attitudes towards inclusion and the inclusion of students with emotional and behavioural disorders
2016
Inclusion is both a symbolic and a practically meaningful process inextricably inter-twined with equity, social and educational participation. Teachers are a fundamental part of this process. Therefore, their attitudes carry a dynamic, which, in turn can be linked to educational success and inclusive implementation. Students with emotional and behavioural disorders constitute a challenging and vulnerable group of students, often excluded from the educational setting, with severe academic and social consequences. The main objective of the current study was to explore teachers’ attitudes to-wards the inclusion of students with emotional and behavioural disorders, in primary and secondary educ…
PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING: AN ASSOCIATION WITH ALEXITHYMIA, PERSONALITY DISORDERS AND CLINICAL SYNDROMES
2014
Pathological gambling (PG) is a disorder recently conceptualized as a behavioural addiction, because of its neurobiological, neurophysiological and psychological features (American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders - 5th ed., 2013; Potenza et al., 2012). PG represents both a social and a sanitary cost, in terms of pharmacological and psychological therapies. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between personality disorders, clinical syndromes and alexithymia levels in a group of pathological gamblers. Furthermore this study aimed at highlighting a relationship between PG and alexithymia, over and above the relationship between pe…
Neuropsychological Alterations in Children Affected by Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
2020
Sleep-related breathing disorders are a group of clinical conditions ranging from habitual snoring to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) during the lifespan. In children, other risk factors are represented by adenotonsillar hypertrophy, rhinitis, nasal structure alteration, cleft palate, velopharyngeal flap surgery, pharyngeal masses, craniofacial malformations, genetic syndrome (i.e. Down syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, and Apert syndrome), genetic hypoplasia mandibular (i.e. Pierre Robin syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, Shy-Drager syndrome, and Cornelia De Lange syndrome), craniofacial traumas, chronic or seasonal rhinitis, asthma, neuromuscular syndromes, brainstem pathologies (i.e.…
New Insights Into Causal Pathways Between the Pediatric Age-Related Physical Activity Decline and Loss of Control Eating: A Narrative Review and Prop…
2020
Research consistently suggests that loss of control (LOC) eating in children and adolescents is a key factor contributing to pediatric obesity and eating disorders. However, causes of pediatric LOC eating are yet unclear, and there is a lack of longitudinal research investigating the developmental processes contributing to LOC eating and related outcomes in youth. Physical activity is an understudied behavior that declines during middle childhood to adolescence and may exert an influence in the development of LOC eating via its impact on executive functioning. While physical activity levels and executive functioning have been linked to regulation of eating, no research has examined the mech…
Disturbi di Personalità in un gruppo di asmatici: studio prospettico con follow up a dieci anni
2004
The aim of our inquiry was to value, through a longitudinal implant with a follow up after ten years if a deficit like asthma could take part in a personality adaptations as a far as to develop a personality disorder. there are two phases of the research. During the first phase were administer to a goup of 58 asthmatic persons and to an equivalent control group: Questionario Scala d'ansia per l'età evolutiva, the childrens depressions scale, the self perception profile for children, the questionnaire of fear and phobia, the family relations test. In the second phase of our inquiry were adiminstered to a group of 39 subject of the original cohort the personality questionary of structured int…
Personality Profile in Orthorexia Nervosa and Healthy Orthorexia
2021
Little is known about orthorexia in both its pathological (orthorexia nervosa, OrNe) and adaptive (healthy orthorexia, HeOr) forms. To date, few studies have been carried out to analyze the personality profile associated with orthorexia, and the results have been contradictory. The aim of the present study was to explore the characteristic pathological personality traits associated with OrNe and HeOr. A total of 297 participants (Mage= 30.8 years; 94.6% women) from the general population completed the Teruel Orthorexia Scale (TOS) and Personality Inventory for DSM-5-Short Form (PID-5-SF) questionnaires. Results showed significant low-medium correlations between OrNe and the four personality…
Bērnības pieredzes saikne ar personības īpatnībām psoriāzes pacientiem
2020
Vairāki psihiskie traucējumi ir saistīti ar psoriāzi, etiopatoģenēze ir daudzveidīga. Dažas psihiskas blakusslimības var rasties hroniskas ādas slimības psihosociālās ietekmes rezultātā. No otras puses, psoriāzi var uzturēt un saasināt pacienta esošais psihiskais stāvoklis, tādējādi veidojot apburto loku. Bērnības pieredze nosaka to, kā veidosies cilvēka personības stiprās un vājās puses, tā ietekmē reakciju uz saslimšanu, tajā skaitā- psoriāzi. Kā aleksitīmija, tā personības traucējumi var ietekmēt to, kā pacients uztver saslimšanu, kā ar to sadzīvo un ārstē.Latvijā nav pētīta psoriāzes saistība ar bērnības pieredzi, personības traucējumiem un aleksitīmiju. Pētījuma hipotēze: psoriāzes pac…
Induction of body weight loss through RNAi-knockdown of APOBEC1 gene expression in transgenic rabbits
2014
In the search of new strategies to fight against obesity, we targeted a gene pathway involved in energy uptake. We have thus investigated the APOB mRNA editing protein (APOBEC1) gene pathway that is involved in fat absorption in the intestine. The APOB gene encodes two proteins, APOB100 and APOB48, via the editing of a single nucleotide in the APOB mRNA by the APOBEC1 enzyme. The APOB48 protein is mandatory for the synthesis of chylomicrons by intestinal cells to transport dietary lipids and cholesterol. We produced transgenic rabbits expressing permanently and ubiquitously a small hairpin RNA targeting the rabbit APOBEC1 mRNA. These rabbits exhibited a moderately but significantly reduced …
