Maternal stress and coping strategies in developmental Dyslexia: An Italian multicenter study

2017

BackgroundStudies about the impact of developmental dyslexia (DD) on parenting are scarce. Our investigation aimed to assess maternal stress levels and mothers’ copying styles in a population of dyslexic children.MethodsA total of 874 children (500 boys, 374 girls; mean age 8.32 ± 2.33 years) affected by DD was included in the study. A total of 1,421 typically developing children (789 boys, 632 girls; mean age 8.25 ± 3.19 years) were recruited from local schools of participating Italian Regions (Abruzzo, Calabria, Campania, Puglia, Umbria, Sicily) and used as control-children group. All mothers (of both DD and typically developing children) filled out an evaluation for parental stress (Pare…

A case of femoral-facial syndrome in a patient with autism spectrum disorders.

2011

The Femoral hypoplasia - unusual facies syndrome (FHUF) or Femoral - facial syndrome (FFS) was at first described in 1975. Up to now about 60 cases have been reported. According to our knowledge only 4 cases have had congenital central nervous system's malformations, furthermore the main stages of psychomotor development are almost always reported as normal or slightly altered in early childhood. We describe the first case of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in a patient with FFS, emphasizing that this rare association could be one of many unrecognized underlying features.

A study on oral rehydration therapy of diarrheal disease in Western Sicily

1987

A longitudinal study to ascertain the most common therapeutic approach to diarrheal disease by general practitioners and pediatricians was carried out in Western Sicily. Data obtained showed that of 902 home-managed cases of diarrhea observed by 58 physicians during one year, 65.3% were treated with antibiotics, 8.0% with antimotility agents and 26.7% were not treated with any pharmacological agent (rehydration or diet). Although oral rehydration therapy was widely known by physicians in Western Sicily, only a few of them were willing to use it routinely as the principal and exclusive treatment.

Esperienze di maltrattamento infantile ed esiti psicopatologici in pazienti con disturbi del comportamento alimentare. Uno studio con la CECA.

2012

Introduzione: I disturbi del comportamento alimentare suscitano un forte interesse nel panorama clinico e di ricerca, data la loro diffusione e la svariate sfaccettature che tali profili psicopatologici assumono. Altrettanto forte è la spinta a ricercare possibili fattori eziopatogenetici nei contesti di accudimento primari ed in letteratura è ampiamente riconosciuto il ruolo determinante svolto dai contesti relazionali e dalle esperienze infantili nella strutturazione del Sé in età adulta (Bifulco & Moran, 1998; Fonagy et al., 2002). Lo studio, a carattere esplorativo, ha un duplice obiettivo: a) rilevare se e quali forme di abuso e maltrattamento si riscontrano in soggetti con DCA, b) rin…

I disturbi dello spettro autistico

2015

disturbi dello spettro autistico hanno esordio nei primi tre anni di vita e sono caratterizzati da compromissioni qualitative delle interazioni sociali, della comunicazione e da un repertorio limitato, stereotipato e ripetitivo di interessi e di attività. Essi fanno parte dei disturbi del neurosviluppo. I disturbi del neuro sviluppo sono un gruppo di condizioni con esordio nel periodo dello sviluppo e si manifestano prima dell'inserimento nella scuola elementare. Gli ASD sono disturbi dello sviluppo neurologico che possono essere presenti dall'infanzia o dalla prima giovinezza. Il testo è stato chiaramente pensato come sussidio all'insegnamento universitario della Neuropsichiatria Infantile…
