P 96. Prismatic lenses as a novel tool to directionally manipulate motor cortex excitability: Evidence from paired-pulse TMS
2013
Introduction Prismatic adaptation (PA) is a visuo-motor procedure requiring participants to adapt to prismatic lenses shifting the visual scene horizontally. Such an adaptation produces a phenomenon called “after-effect”, opposite to the side of lenses deviation. The after-effect has been frequently associated with a shift of spatial attention in the same direction and with a restoration of hemispatial neglect symptoms. PA has captured the interest of neuroscientists in the last decades, since it affects high-order spatial cognition even thought consisting of low-level visuo-motor processes. Objectives Despite a huge literature on this procedure, the basic neural processes related to PA and…
Brain stimulation procedures for treatment of contralesional spatial neglect
2011
The application of brain stimulation techniques for modulation of cortical excitability changes underlying spatial neglect following right-brain-damage has been the first application of brain stimulation in the rehabilitation setting. Several factors concur in making neglect a prototype of cognitive disorders that can be modulated by brain stimulation: 1) neglect is highly lateralized deficit, 2) neglect is a network disorder in which lesion of a network node impacts affects excitability of intrahemispehric and interhemispheric connections, and 3) lesions of the right hemisphere, the most frequent cause of neglect, are associated with a transcallosally mediated increase of facilitation of t…
Chapter 31 Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies of contralesional space attention deficits
2002
Publisher Summary The power of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to disrupt and modulate the neural activity in focal brain regions has provided researchers in this field a promising tool to empirically test specific neuropsychological models and constructs of contralesional space attention deficits. A group of studies has used TMS to transiently disrupt the cortical activity of the focal brain areas in normal subjects to replicate the effects of neurological lesions. This chapter discusses a number of studies, using single-pulse, paired-TMS, and repetitive TMS (rTMS) and different experimental paradigms that show how this technique can be of fundamental importance, in elucidating the…
Association of child maltreatment subtypes and long-term physical health in a German representative sample
2018
ABSTRACT Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the Ge…
Mucocutaneous diseases with manifestations in the head and neck region: 24 years of experience in a Dermatology service
2023
This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of mucocutaneous diseases with manifestation in the head and neck region. A retrospective analysis of a dermatology reference center database was carried out. Over 24 years. Clinicopathological data were collected from medical records and the data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. A total of 11.538 medical records were analyzed, being 152 cases of mucocutaneous diseases with manifestations in the head and neck region. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus was the most prevalent diagnosis (66.4%). Face (44.1%), females (79.6%), and patients with 45 years mean age were the most common features. In the oral cavity, the most affected r…

Zaniedbania emocjonalne dziecka w wieku przedszkolnym – przegląd teoretyczny
2019
W artykule podjęto problematykę zaniedbania emocjonalnego i jego daleko idących skutków w grupie dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym (3–6 r.ż.). Zaprezentowano przegląd piśmiennictwa uwzględniającego podstawową terminologię i wskazującego na bazowe problemy w funkcjonowaniu dzieci dotkniętych zaniedbaniem emocjonalnym. Opisano główne aspekty radzenia sobie z emocjami i interakcjami społecznymi przez dzieci zaniedbane. Wskazano także najistotniejsze problemy związane z zaburzeniami w obszarze funkcjonowania fizycznego, społecznego, emocjonalnego i poznawczego. W ostatniej części tekstu wspomniano o roli przedszkola jako placówki umożliwiającej zwiększenie szans rozwojowych dzieci dotkniętych zanied…

2020
This article aims to present analysis of possible actions of kindergarten teachers and other specialists working with emotionally neglected children. The first part of the text includes definition of emotional neglect and information about the symptoms observed in emotionally neglected child. The short term and long term consequences of emotional neglect in group of children aged 3–6 were shortly described. The characteristics enabling recognition of emotional neglect and diagnostic procedures facilitating identification of a problem by teachers and kindergarten specialists were given. Basic cues concerning the work with emotionally neglected child that can be accomplished in kindergarten, …
Snakebite in the department of Nariño, Colombia: a retrospective analysis, 2008-2017
2019
Resumen Introducción. El ofidismo es un relevante problema de salud pública y, en Colombia, se incluyó como un evento de notificación obligatoria desde el año 2004. Por ser un país tropical con gran diversidad ecosistémica, ocupa el tercer puesto en Latinoamérica, después de México y Brasil, en presentar el mayor número de accidentes ofídicos. Objetivo. Realizar un análisis retrospectivo del accidente ofídico en el departamento de Nariño, con base en los eventos notificados entre los años 2008 y 2017 al Instituto Departamental de Salud de Nariño y al Sistema de Vigilancia en Salud Pública de Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un análisis de tipo descriptivo y retrospectivo a partir de …
