PA 05-3-0690 Mavie-lab sports: a mhealth for injury prevention and risk management in sport
2018
Computational advances in smart-phone technology and the development of expert systems has been an opportunity to devise the MAVIE-Lab an innovative Mobile Health Application (mHealth) for primary prevention of Home, Leisure and Sport Injuries (HLIs). Here, we present MAVIE-Lab Sports, the first module of the application focused on sports injuries. MAVIE-Lab was developed in the framework of the MAVIE project. A large web-based cohort launched with the objective of prospectively collecting data related to HLIs. A sample size of 26 000 volunteers have been already enrolled in this cohort and the ultimate goal is to recruit 1 00 000 participants in France. As a first step, the MAVIE-Lab will …
Substance use disorders as risk factors for suicide in an Eastern and a Central European city (Tallinn and Frankfurt/Main)
2009
Cultural and regional differences on the well-known elevated suicide risk in substance use disorders have not been clarified yet. Therefore, the suicide risk associated with substance use disorders in a society of transition and in a socially and economically stable society should be identified and compared. Data from two population-based matched case-control studies were used to analyse the association between alcohol and other substance consumption and the risk of suicide. Data in Frankfurt were obtained by a semi-structured interview including the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I (SCID-I) in 163 suicides that occurred in 1999 and 2000, and data from Tallinn were collected …
P-78D-PENICILLAMINE PREVENTS THE ALCOHOL DEPRIVATION EFFECT IN THE OPERANT SELF-AMINISTRATION PARADIGM
2015
Although pharmacological treatments for relapse prevention have experienced some progress, their general effectiveness can be considered low and the problem could not be considered solved. In recent years, our group has explored the use of acetaldehyde (ACD) sequestering agents as a new and very promising strategy. These agents, such as …
Mothers’ non-standard working and childcare-related challenges : A comparison between lone and coupled mothers

Design/methodology/approach – This study utilises survey data from Finnish, Dutch and British working mothers (n=1,106) collected as part of the “Families 24/7” research project. Multivariate regression analysis is used to analyse the associations between childcare-related challenges, maternal non-standard working, lone motherhood and country of residence. Findings – The results…

Menores que Maltratan a sus Progenitores: definición Integral y su Ciclo de Violencia
2017
Dentro del maltrato familiar, la violencia filio-parental es una línea de investigación en el ámbito de la psicología y la pedagogía de cierta relevancia actual. En la primera parte del artículo se pretende analizar este fenómeno, desde las perspectivas psicoeducativa y jurídica, para aportar una definición integral que abarque diferentes perspectivas de la violencia filio-parental, porque la intervención y prevención de ésta debe partir del conocimiento acerca de las causas y mecanismos que intervienen en el complejo ámbito de ésta violencia intrafamiliar, así como de las relaciones e interacciones que se establecen entre hijos, hijas y progenitores. Por ello, la segunda parte del artículo…
Heart healthy cities : Genetics loads the gun but the environment pulls the trigger
2021
Abstract The world’s population is estimated to reach 10 billion by 2050 and 75% of this population will live in cities. Two-third of the European population already live in urban areas and this proportion continues to grow. Between 60% and 80% of the global energy use is consumed by urban areas, with 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions produced within urban areas. The World Health Organization states that city planning is now recognized as a critical part of a comprehensive solution to tackle adverse health outcomes. In the present review, we address non-communicable diseases with a focus on cardiovascular disease and the urbanization process in relation to environmental risk exposures inc…
Increased Exposure to Violence and Risk of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children
2021
Exposure of children and adolescents to violence has significant short and long-term consequences in terms of academic, social, physical, and psychological functioning.1,2 The relationship of exposure to traumatic events, including various forms of violence, with depression, anger, anxiety, dissociation, posttraumatic stress, and total trauma symptoms has been widely debated.1-3 It is largely accepted that adverse early life experiences and abusive events suffered during childhood can cause profound effects on the development and function of the nervous system and increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.4 Studies investigating the relationship between various types of neurodevelop…
