Binge Drinking: The Top 100 Cited Papers
2021
We conducted a review to analyze the 100 most-cited studies on binge drinking (BD) in the Web of Science (WoS) database to determine their current status and the aspects that require further attention. We carried out a retrospective bibliometric analysis in January 2021. The year of publication, authors, design, subject, journal, institution and lead author’s country, as well as the definition of BD, were extracted from the articles. The data on the country, year, thematic category of the journals and their rank were obtained from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Journal Citation Reports 2020. The number of citations was collected from the WoS, and the h index was collected fr…
Binge-like alcohol exposure in adolescence: behavioural, neuroendocrine and molecular evidence of abnormal neuroplasticity … and return
2021
Binge alcohol consumption among adolescents affects the developing neural networks underpinning reward and stress processing in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). This study explores in rats the long-lasting effects of early intermittent exposure to intoxicating alcohol levels at adolescence, on: (1) the response to natural positive stimuli and inescapable stress
Rilevazione statistica della diffusione dei fenomeni di binge drinking, drunkoressia e gambling tra gli adolescenti palermitani
2017
L’obiettivo dello studio è l’analisi della diffusione dei comportamenti riconducibili ai fenomeni di Binge Drinking, Drunkoressia e Gambling in individui che possiedono un’età compresa tra i 13 e 20 anni: si è deciso di analizzare nello specifico tale fascia d’età poiché la propensione di alcuni soggetti ad assumere condotte pericolose per la propria salute risulta essere particolarmente alta proprio durante la fase adolescenziale. Quest’ultimo è infatti un periodo di intenso sviluppo neuro- cognitivo che conduce a cambiamenti importanti ai fini del comportamento, dell’affettività, della ricerca e della selezione di stimoli più gratificanti: il risultato è un aumento della predisposizione a…
DIFFICOLTÀ DI REGOLAZIONE EMOTIVA E RELAZIONI INTERPERSONALI IN SOGGETTI CON BINGE EATING DISORDER. UN CONTRIBUTO EMPIRICO
La presente ricerca si propone di approfondire, attraverso due studi quantitativi e naturalistici, di tipo cross-sectional, il ruolo delle emozioni, ed in particolare della capacità di regolazione emotiva (ER), nello sviluppo e nel mantenimento dei disturbi del comportamento alimentare e del peso. La tesi di dottorato, dopo una prima parte dedicata all’approfondimento teorico e all’analisi della letteratura scientifica, si articola in due differenti studi. Lo Studio 1 ha quale obiettivo quello di studiare le caratteristiche sintomatologiche di tre diversi gruppi clinici (Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating disorder e Obesità) e valutare il ruolo della regolazione emotiva nella relazione fra stati…
Binge-Like, Naloxone-Sensitive, Voluntary Ethanol Intake at Adolescence Is Greater Than at Adulthood, but Does Not Exacerbate Subsequent Two-Bottle C…
2020
The present study assessed the effects of ethanol exposure during adolescence or adulthood. We exposed Wistar rats, males or females, to self-administered 8–10% (v/v) ethanol (BINGE group) during the first 2 h of the dark cycle, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) during postnatal days (PDs) 32–54 or 72–94 (adolescent and adults, respectively). During this period, controls were only handled, and a third (IP) condition was given ethanol intraperitoneal administrations, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), at doses that matched those self-administered by the BINGE group. The rats were tested for ethanol intake and preference in a two-bottle (24 h long) choice tes…
Factores asociados en la relación alcohol-conducción en jóvenes conductores
2014
La conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol es uno de los grandes problemas en la Seguridad Vial. A ello se une una progresiva homogeneización de los nuevos patrones de consumo intensivo de alcohol (CIA) juvenil. Este hecho implica la necesidad de adaptar los contenidos de los programas preventivos aplicados con esta población.Este trabajo parte de la revisión de los determinantes más implicados en esta conducta de riesgo, en función del patrón de consumo (CIA/noCIA) y de la experiencia del conductor (Noveles/no Noveles), entre estudiantes universitarios (n=340).Los resultados reflejan una falta de conocimientos generalizada respecto a cuestiones relacionadas tanto con la normativa de tráfic…
Dimensioni di personalità in soggetti obesi BED e NON-BED.
2012
Introduzione Pochi studi hanno esaminato la presenza di differenti dimensioni di personalità in soggetti obesi BED e non-BED (Peterson et al., 2010) e i risultati appaiono ancora poco chiari. Lo studio si propone di: a) confrontare le dimensioni di personalità in soggetti obesi BED e non-BED; b) approfondire l’associazione tra stili di personalità e comportamenti binge in relazione ad altre variabili sintomatiche. Metodo 143 soggetti adulti obesi non-BED e 60 soggetti obesi BED che hanno richiesto un trattamento presso un sevizio pubblico sui disturbi alimentari, hanno compilato i seguenti strumenti di assessment: MCMI-III (Millon, 1997), BES (Gormally et al, 1982), OQ-45 (Lambert et al., 2…
Statistical analysis of a survey about diffusion of binge drinking and drunkorexia among students in Palermo
2018
Youth alcohol consumption is a major global public health concern. Previous reviews have concluded that exposure to alcohol marketing was associated with drinking initiation and higher alcohol consumption among youth. From January to May 2017, a survey has been conducted through administration of questionnaires about the diffusion of Binge Drinking and Drunkorexia among the students of Palermo. Test was administered, during school time, to 2331 students between the ages of 13 and 20. Regarding the analysis of the questionnaires, 97,8% of student declares to have drunk at least once: their first taste of alcoholic drink happens at the age of thirteen/fourteen. They prefer to drink at the dis…
Binge-Watching as Case of Escapist Entertainment Use
2021
Although the concept of escapism is widely used in entertainment research, it lacks theoretical and empirical differentiation. Based on the transactional model of stress and coping, we extend previous attempts to conceptualize escapism as a form of emotion-focused avoidance coping. In contrast to the primarily negative connotation of escapism found in prior research, we propose that escapist entertainment use may be a functional coping strategy in some situations and may thus have beneficial effects on the well-being of media users. To develop and illustrate our perspective, we turn to binge-watching as a prominent example of escapist entertainment use. We show exemplarily how escapist bing…
An Animal Model of Alcohol Binge Drinking: Chronic-Intermittent Ethanol Administration in Rodents
2019
Binge drinking (BD), characterized by intermittent consumption of large quantities of alcohol in short periods of time, is the main alcohol consumption pattern in adolescents and young adults. BD has serious biomedical consequences, and it is a prominent risk factor for later development of alcohol use disorders. Rodent models offer exceptional power to study these negative consequences of BD. This chapter focuses on one of these BD models: the chronic-intermittent ethanol administration (CIEA) paradigm. Essentially, CIEA consists of the administration in rats or mice of i.p. injections of ethanol (doses: 3-4 g/kg) for several consecutive days each week, in alternation with several days wit…
