Motivation for participation in rehab therapy and stress-coping styles in alcohol dependent women and men = Motywacja do udziału w terapii i style ra…

2020

Wprowadzenie: Przedstawiono przegląd literatury z zakresu stylów radzenia sobie ze stresem i motywacji do uczestnictwa w terapii w grupie kobiet i mężczyzn uzależnionych od alkoholu. Wywnioskowano, że dotychczasowe dane empirycznie pozwalają na zaobserwowanie zróżnicowania ze względu na płeć, ale nie umożliwiają stworzenia jednoznacznych modeli w zakresie motywacji i radzenia sobie ze stresem przez kobiety i mężczyzn. Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięło udział 90 ochotników (33 K i 57 M) w wieku od 22 do 70 lat (M = 43,70; SD = 11,26), uczęszczających na terapię uzależnień (M = 7,97 miesięcy; SD = 5,76) do ośrodka leczenia uzależnień na Górnym Śląsku. Respondenci wypełnili metryczkę, Kwesti…

Durability of a 3D woven composite assisted by finite element multi-scale modelling

2012

International audience; The textile composite studied is a 3D woven composite. A unit cell is defined by using microscopic examinations of the microstructure. A multiscale approach assisted by the finite element method is performed in order to estimate the effective properties of the composite and then to access to local stress field. This approach allows the determination of the kind of load to which warp yarns are subjected. Moreover, detailed analysis of damaged model using different configurations of broken yarns are treated. The evolution of the stress concentration coefficient highlight the load transfers due to consecutive yarn breaks.

Incremental elastoplastic analysis for active macro-zones

2012

In this paper a strategy to perform incremental elastoplastic analysis using the symmetric Galerkin boundary element method for multidomain type problems is shown. The discretization of the body is performed through substructures, distinguishing the bem-elements characterizing the so-called active macro-zones, where the plastic consistency condition may be violated, and the macro-elements having elastic behaviour only. Incremental analysis uses the well-known concept of self-equilibrium stress field here shown in a discrete form through the introduction of the influence matrix (self-stress matrix). The nonlinear analysis does not use updating of the elastic response inside each plastic loop…

Conceptualizing ecosystem tipping points within a physiological framework

2017

Connecting the nonlinear and often counterintuitive physiological effects of multiple environmental drivers to the emergent impacts on ecosystems is a fundamental challenge. Unfortunately, the disconnect between the way “stressors” (e.g., warming) is considered in organismal (physiological) and ecological (community) contexts continues to hamper progress. Environmental drivers typically elicit biphasic physiological responses, where performance declines at levels above and below some optimum. It is also well understood that species exhibit highly variable response surfaces to these changes so that the optimum level of any environmental driver can vary among interacting species. Thus, specie…

Tolerance, Adaptation, and Cell Response Elicited by Micromonospora sp. Facing Tellurite Toxicity: A Biological and Physical-Chemical Characterization

2022

The intense use of tellurium (Te) in industrial applications, along with the improper disposal of Te-derivatives, is causing their accumulation in the environment, where oxyanion tellurite (TeO32−) is the most soluble, bioavailable, and toxic Te-species. On the other hand, tellurium is a rare metalloid element whose natural supply will end shortly with possible economic and technological effects. Thus, Te-containing waste represents the source from which Te should be recycled and recovered. Among the explored strategies, the microbial TeO32− biotransformation into less toxic Te-species is the most appropriate concerning the circular economy. Actinomycetes are ideal candidates in…

Conseguenze metaboliche dell'ipossia

2011

Riassunto La sopravvivenza in condizioni di ipossia dipende dall’attivazione di processi cellulari complessi, con risposte di adattamento (quali il potenziamento del trasporto di O2 attraverso l’aumento dell’eritropoiesi, l’attivazione dell’angiogenesi e l’aumento della glicolisi anaerobica) e l’inibizione di processi metabolici che richiedono alta disponibilità di O2. Ciò consente di mantenere l’omeostasi energetica anche in condizioni di ridotta disponibilità di O2. Nel modello fisiologico del soggiorno ad alta quota si verificano riduzione di peso e della capacità di lavoro associata a riduzione della massa muscolare, che però sono reversibili al ripristino di condizioni di normossia. Le…

Comparison of the acute effects of anti-TNF-alpha drugs on a uveitis experimental model.

2010

To compare histopathological and biochemical effects of the anti-TNF-alpha drugs adalimumab and infliximab in a uveitis experimental model.Histopathological evaluation was performed 24 h after endotoxin (200 microg into the footpad) and drug administration, as well as biochemical analysis of oxidative stress-related markers in the aqueous humor.Severe inflammation was found in rat anterior chamber of the eye 24 h after endotoxin. Only infliximab administration partially prevented the endotoxin-induced disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier, as well as the increase in Rantes and MCP-1 concentration in aqueous humor. Both drugs ameliorated the histopathological score after endotoxin. Biochem…

Psychological variables and temporomandibular disorders: distress, coping, and personality.

2004

Abstract Objective This study analyzes the psychological variables of distress, personality, and coping that are related to the diagnosis based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorder. Study design An age and sex-matched controlled study conducted with a convenience sample (n = 89) in a tertiary care facility. Results The MANCOVA between the muscular (n = 47), articular (n = 42), and control groups (n = 100) showed that the muscular group differed from the control group, obtaining higher levels of distress, anxiety, and depression, and minor use of positive reinterpretation and humor as coping strategies; the articular group also showed higher distress, less posit…

Effect of lumbar disc replacement on the height of the disc space and the geometry of the facet joints: a cadaver study.

2010

In a study on ten fresh human cadavers we examined the change in the height of the intervertebral disc space, the angle of lordosis and the geometry of the facet joints after insertion of intervertebral total disc replacements. SB III Charité prostheses were inserted at L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1. The changes studied were measured using computer navigation sofware applied to CT scans before and after instrumentation. After disc replacement the mean lumbar disc height was doubled (p < 0.001). The mean angle of lordosis and the facet joint space increased by a statistically significant extent (p < 0.005 and p = 0.006, respectively). By contrast, the mean facet joint overlap was significantl…
