2015

Purpose This study examined the frequency of psychiatric co-morbidity in patients with breast cancer, its changes over time and predictors for these changes. Methods In a prospective study with measurements before surgery (t1, baseline), 1 month (t2) and 8 months thereafter (t3) using the Patient Health Questionnaire, we examined the course of psychiatric co-morbidity in breast cancer patients.

Substanz-bezogene Störungen: Auf dem Weg zu ICD-11 und DSM-V

2006

The development of substance abuse disorders (SUD) for DSM-V is put into perspective according to an expert meeting organized by APA and chaired by M.A. Schuckit and J.B. Saunders. Substantial compatibility with ICD-11 of WHO was expected to be achieved. A dependence syndrome, a non-dependence category as well as a subthreshold condition is supposed to be included in the SUD section in DSM-V. Categorical criteria will possibly be supplemented by dimensions conceptualized as quantitative formulations of criteria content. General and substance-specific criteria may be included for dependence. The comorbidity problem requires more research to separate substance-induced from substance-independe…

Hemiplejía conversiva como accidente de trabajo. Consideraciones clínicas y legales

2011

Hysterical paralysis is a rare variant of conversion disorder. Its diagnostic can be difficult, and organic causes of paralysis must be ruled out. We report here a case of hysterical hemiplegia that was attributed to occupational-linked stress factors, and was consequently considered as an accident at work. Diagnostic and treatment procedures carried out in this case are reported. Compensation rates published by the Spanish Government pay little attention to occupational-linked psychiatric diseases. Frequently, as in our case, an extrapolation

2020

Facebook has recently gained popularity among young, digitally literate and predominantly urban Pakistanis.

The results revealed the significant impact of Facebook on the socio-cultural and linguistic norms of discourse in Pakistan that enables women to challenge established communication models while they…

The dynamics of the labour force market has contributed to the creation of an environment in which organizations are permanently facing …
