Genetic relationship between five psychiatric disorders estimated from genome-wide SNPs
2013
AM Vicente - Cross-Disorder Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Most psychiatric disorders are moderately to highly heritable. The degree to which genetic variation is unique to individual disorders or shared across disorders is unclear. To examine shared genetic etiology, we use genome-wide genotype data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) for cases and controls in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We apply univariate and bivariate methods for the estimation of genetic variation within and covariation between disorders. SNPs explained 17-29% of the variance in …

Análisis de habilidades pragmáticas de niños con TEA y niños con TEA y TDAH
2018
Introducción. El Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) presenta dificultades en la pragmática del lenguaje que repercuten negativamente en el ámbito social y adaptativo. Una de las cuestiones menos estudiadas es el papel que desempeñan los síntomas comórbidos del trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) en las habilidades pragmáticas y discursivas de niños con TEA. El propósito de este estudio fue: (1) Analizar las similitudes y diferencias de las habilidades pragmáticas y de discurso narrativo mediante la comparación de niños con TEA, TEA+TDAH y desarrollo típico (DT). (2) Analizar la capacidad discriminante de las habilidades pragmáticas y de discurso narrativo en niños …
Effects of atypical antipsychotics on neurocognition in euthymic bipolar patients.
2011
Abstract Background Different factors may influence cognitive functioning in bipolar disorder such as the effect of subsyndromal symptoms, the history of psychotic symptomatology or substance abuse, negative symptomatology, chronicity, sleep disturbances, and hormonal factors. The effect of pharmacologic treatment on cognition is still uncertain because of an insufficient number of studies examining this issue. Objective The aims of this study were to compare neuropsychologic performance of treated bipolar patients with that of controls, including unmedicated patients and healthy subjects, as well as to evaluate possible neurocognitive differences among 3 different atypical antipsychotics. …
A putative social chemosignal elicits faster cortical responses than perceptually similar odorants.
2006
Social chemosignals, so-called pheromones, have recently attracted much attention in that effects on women's psychophysiology and cortical processing have been reported. We here tested the hypothesis that the human brain would process a putative social chemosignal, the endogenous steroid endrostadienone, faster than other odorants with perceptually matched intensity and hedonic characteristics. Chemosensory event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded in healthy women. ERP analyses indicate that androstadienone was processed significantly faster than the control odorants. Androstadienone elicited shorter latencies for all recorded ERP components but most so for the late positivity. This fin…
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…

The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…
The premise, promise and disillusion of the ADHD categorisation - family narrative about the child's broken school trajectory
2019
This study presents co-narrated school experiences of a young Finnish girl diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and those of her parents. The discourse analysis of the family interview focused on the discrepant ways family members gave meanings to and mobilised the ADHD categorisation while narrating their broken school trajectory. The results showed that the ADHD diagnosis was laden with the promise of the whole family being recognised differently by the school. However, this cultural promise proved disillusioning as daughter's support needs and parents' expertise were not recognised nor did the diagnostic category emancipate from stigmatising identities and blame…
Perfiles de familias con factores de riesgo y problemas comportamentales en niños con déficit de atención con hiperactividad
2019
Introducción. La literatura evidencia que las familias de niños con déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) experimentan factores de riesgo relacionados con niveles elevados de estrés, menor apoyo social, o menor capacidad de afrontamiento. Estos factores familiares contextuales pueden verse agravados por la presencia de problemas comportamentales y sociales en niños con TDAH. Objetivos. El presente estudio se planteó los siguientes objetivos: 1) Identificar perfiles de familias de niños con TDAH en edad escolar de acuerdo con indicadores contextuales y variables socioemocionales como el nivel de estrés, las estrategias de afrontamiento y el apoyo social. 2) Evaluar las diferencias entr…
