Oxidative stress, endothelial biomarkers and non-invasive vascular function in the general population in health and disease
2013

BACKGROUND: While noise annoyance has become recognized as an important environmental stressor, its association to mental health has hardly been studied. We therefore determined the association of noise annoyance to anxiety and depression and explored the contribution of diverse environmental sources to overall noise annoyance. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We investigated cross-sectional data of n = 15.010 participants of the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS), a population-based, prospective, single-center cohort study in Mid-Germany (age 35 to 74 years). Noise annoyance was assessed separately for road traffic, aircraft, railways, industrial, neighborhood indoor and outdoor noise ("during the day"; "i…
PO-0994 Ltri In Paediatrics: Analysis Of An Annual Survey
2014
Background and aims Lower tract respiratory infections (LTRI) are very frequent in paediatric population. We collected epidemiological, etiological and clinical data and correlated them to some variables. Methods We performed an observational study of all children with a LTRI, admitted to our Paediatric Unit from February 2013 to January 2014. The population was grouped in three classes of ages (0–2yr, 3–6yr, >6yr). All patients underwent to a questionnaire focused on exposition to protective and risk factors for respiratory diseases. Results 83 children were included. We grouped them according to discharge diagnosis and analysed the distribution for ages, sex and season of onset. At the ad…
New Technique in Tendon Sport Recovery. Percutaneous Electrolysis Intratissue (EPI®)
2013
Based on the literature and clinical experience we know that the technique of percutaneous electrolysis intratissue (EPI ® ) has positive effects on the recovery of human tendinopathies. The application of the technique, together with the completion of eccentric exercise, give benefits leading to anatomical and functional recovery in the tendon that can be appreciated by ultrasound using the scale of "Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-patellar tendon" (VISA-P). Due to clinical knowledge, damage to tendon is accompanied by increase in oxidative stress, cell death and inflammation at the damaged area. The EPI ® technique produced a galvanic current inside the tendon, with an acupuncture…

IntroductionPersistent and distressing somatic symptoms are common in younger age cohorts such as university students. However, the majority does not receive adequate psychosocial care. Internet-based and mobile-based interventions may represent low threshold and effective extensions to reduce somatic and associated mental symptom severity. The planned study aims to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of an internet-based intervention in reducing somatic and psychological symptoms in an international population of university students with somatic symptom burden.Methods and analysisThis parallel two-armed randomised controlled trial evaluates an 8-week guided intervention, including web…
Eine Kurzversion des Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-25-F) zum Einsatz bei Gefangenen im Langzeitstrafvollzug in Europa
2014
Strafgefangene sind im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung deutlich höher psychisch belastet und stärker suizidgefährdet. Die forensisch-psychologische Diagnostik kann jedoch zumeist nicht auf validierte Testverfahren zurückgreifen. Das kann negative Konsequenzen für Interventionen und somit für das Rückfallrisiko von Straftätern haben. Die vorliegende Studie extrahiert aus dem Brief Symptom Inventory 53 (BSI-53), das bei 1001 Langzeitstrafgefangenen (Mindestfreiheitsentzug 5 Jahre) in 11 europäischen Ländern eingesetzt wurde, eine Kurzversion mit 25 Items. Die vier Skalen Einsamkeit/Depressivität, Körperliche Beschwerden, Selbstwert/Minderwertigkeit und Herausforderndes Verhalten/Aggressiv…
Respuesta cardiovascular al estrés en pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente: datos preliminares
2021
El estrés es un factor de riesgo para las enfermedades cardiovasculares en la población general. La epilepsia se ha considerado un modelo adecuado de estrés crónico, con mayor incidencia de mortalidad cardiovascular que la población general. Este estudio proporciona datos preliminares sobre la respuesta cardiovascular ante un estresor cognitivo y una evaluación neuropsicológica en pacientes con epilepsia, explorando las relaciones entre la respuesta cardiovascular y el rendimiento cognitivo dependiendo del hemisferio responsable de la epilepsia. Treinta y cinco pacientes con epilepsia farmacorresistente, 17 con el área epileptógena(AE) en el hemisferio izquierdo (LH) y 18 con AE en el hemis…
Opettajien eettinen kuormittuneisuus ja eettiset dilemmat
2012
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin opettajien eettistä kuormittuneisuutta, eettisten dilemmojen sisältöjä sekä niissä esiintyviä sidosryhmiä kahden eri dilemmatyypin suhteen. Eettistä kuormittuneisuutta kuvattiin eettisten dilemmojen useudella ja niistä johtuvalla stressillä. Dilemmatyypeistä ensimmäinen kuvasi tilanteita, joissa henkilö ei tiedä, mikä on oikea toimintapa (A-tyypin dilemma). Toinen kuvasi tilanteita, joissa henkilö joutuu syystä tai toisesta toimimaan sääntöjen, normien tai omien arvojen vastaisesti (B-tyypin dilemma). Tutkimus toteutettiin toukokuussa 2011 kyselytutkimuksena, joka kohdistui kaupunkiorganisaation sivistyspalveluissa työskenteleviin opettajiin. Heistä tutkimukseen …
The efficacy and safety of nutrient supplements in the treatment of mental disorders: a meta‐review of meta‐analyses of randomized controlled trials
2019
The role of nutrition in mental health is becoming increasingly acknowledged. Along with dietary intake, nutrition can also be obtained from "nutrient supplements", such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and pre/probiotic supplements. Recently, a large number of meta-analyses have emerged examining nutrient supplements in the treatment of mental disorders. To produce a meta-review of this top-tier evidence, we identified, synthesized and appraised all meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on the efficacy and safety of nutrient supplements in common and severe mental disorders. Our systematic search identified 33 me…
