Bērnības traumatiskas pieredzes un riska uztveres saistība cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un tetovēšanās motivācija
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv atšķirības starp bērnības traumatisku pieredzi un riska uztveri cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un cilvēkiem bez tetovējumiem, vai pastāv saistība starp bērnības traumatisku pieredzi un riska uztveri cilvēkiem ar tetovējumiem un kāda ir tetovēšanās motivācija un pieredze. Pētījumā piedalījās 147 respondenti vecumā no 19 līdz 59 gadiem, dalībnieku ar tetovējumiem izlasē piedalījās 55 respondenti (45 sievietes un 10 vīrieši) un dalībnieku bez tetovējumiem izlasē piedalījās 92 respondenti (76 sievietes un 16 vīrieši). Pētījuma dalībnieki aizpildīja Riska uztveres aptauju (Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Scale, DOSPERT), Bērnības traumas aptauju (Childhood Trau…
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Risk Factors in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction After Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Lo…
2021
This study aimed to investigate the status and risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute and convalescence phases. A longitudinal study design was used. Two questionnaire surveys were conducted in the acute stage of hospitalization, and 3 months after onset in patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for PTSD in AMI patients. The incidence of PTSD was 33.1 and 20.4% in acute and convalescent patients, respectively. The risk factors related to PTSD were door-to-balloon time (DTB) (≥92.6 min), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (&…
Individual vulnerability to stress is associated with increased demand for intravenous heroin self-administration in rats
2019
AbstractOpioid use is a widespread epidemic, and traumatic stress exposure is a critical risk factor in opioid use and relapse. There is a significant gap in our understanding of how stress contributes to heroin use, and there are limited studies investigating individual differences underlying stress reactivity and subsequent stress-induced heroin self-administration. We hypothesized that greater individual vulnerability to stress would predict higher demand for heroin self-administration in a within-subjects rodent model of stress and heroin use comorbidity. Male rats were exposed to inescapable intermittent swim stress and individual biological (corticosterone) or behavioral (open field, …
Problemy funkcjonowania psychospołecznego i profesjonalnego wsparcia dzieci z rodzin wewnętrznie przesiedlonych na Ukrainie
2019
Cel: W pracy ukazano dylematy dotyczące dzieci pochodzących z rodzin imigrantów domowych na Ukrainie, których głównym problemem jest aspekt psychospołecznego funkcjonowania w środowisku. Metoda: Analiza dokumentów. Rezultaty: Opisano kierunki działań mające na celu stymulowanie rozwoju dziecka poprzez udzielanie pomocy psychologicznej w placówkach edukacyjnych lub ośrodkach usług socjalnych dla rodziny, dzieci i młodzieży, a także ukazano kierunki wsparcia wychowywania dziecka w środowisku rodzinnym. Przedstawiono niedociągnięcia i zalety tych przedsięwzięć, zarówno na szczeblu państwowym, jak i lokalnym. Wnioski: Postulowano o stworzenie programu przedstawiającego rozwiązania głównych prob…
Learning Curve in Surgical Treatment of Odontoid Fixation for a Series of Type II C2 Fractures
2019
The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a complex anatomical area upon which most of the motion of the upper cervical spine depends [1]. Because of its unique range of motion, the CVJ is subject to several types of traumatic injury; it has been shown that odontoid fractures are the most common ones in the general population and are the most common isolated spinal fractures [2]. Accounting for up to 18% of all cervical fractures, odontoid fractures are the most common ones in elderly patients [3], in whom they account for up to 60% of spinal cord injuries [4].
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…

Following traumatic brain injury (TBI) neuroinflammatory processes promote neuronal cell loss. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a neuropeptide with immunomodulatory properties, which may offer neuroprotection. Due to short half-life and pigmentary side-effects of α-MSH, the C-terminal tripeptide α-MSH(11–13) may be an anti-inflammatory alternative. The present study investigated the mRNA concentrations of the precursor hormone proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and of melanocortin receptors 1 and 4 (MC1R/MC4R) in naive mice and 15 min, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after controlled cortical impact (CCI). Regulation of POMC and MC4R expression did not change after trauma, while MC1R levels incr…
La storia celata del trauma complesso. Una rassegna teorica tra realtà clinica e problemi diagnostici
2017
Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare le difficoltà di riconoscimento e legittimazione, storicamente presenti nello studio del trauma psichico infantile, nonché di stimolare riflessioni aperte sulla possibilità che tali difficoltà siano ancora attuali. Recenti contributi sullo studio del disturbo traumatico dello sviluppo sottolineano infatti l’importanza degli aspetti relazionali e cumulativi nonché del momento evolutivo in cui il soggetto vive le proprie esperienze traumatiche.
Standards for the diagnosis and management of complex regional pain syndrome: Results of a European Pain Federation task force.
2019
Background: Complex regional pain syndrome is a painful and disabling post-traumatic primary pain disorder. Acute and chronic complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) are major clinical challenges. In Europe, progress is hampered by significant heterogeneity in clinical practice. We sought to establish standards for the diagnosis and management of CRPS. Methods: The European Pain Federation established a pan-European task force of experts in CRPS who followed a four-stage consensus challenge process to produce mandatory quality standards worded as grammatically imperative (must-do) statements. Results: We developed 17 standards in 8 areas of care. There are 2 standards in diagnosis, 1 in multi…
