Dynamische Aberrometrie während der Akkommodation phaker Augen sowie Augen mit potenziell akkommodativer Intraokularlinse
2002
Eine objektive Messung des Akkommodationseffektes ist nach Implantation potenziell akkommodativer Intraokularlinsen (IOL) – auch aufgrund methodischer Probleme – sehr schwierig. Unter anderem wurden hierzu Messungen der Anderung der Vorderkammertiefe mittels Laserinterferenzbiometrie durchgefuhrt. Alle bisherigen Untersuchungen konnten bislang nicht eindeutig klaren, ob und in welchem Ausmas potenziell akkommodative IOL uberhaupt funktionieren. Mittels Wellenfrontanalyse wurde das dynamische Verhalten potenziell akkommodativer IOL vermessen. Die Messungen wurden mit einem Hartmann-Shack-Aberrometer durchgefuhrt. Als Besonderheit waren sequenzielle dynamische Wellenfrontmessungen mit einer F…
La consultation psychologique spécialisée pour les sujets souffrant de syndromes psychotraumatiques : premiers éléments d'évaluation
2004
Resume L'objectif de ce travail est d'evaluer les effets d'une prise en charge psychologique specialisee pour des sujets souffrant d'etat de stress post-traumatique. La population est constituee des 20 premiers patients (moyenne d'âge = 43 ans) de cette consultation, victimes de divers evenements traumatiques (8 agressions physiques et 12 accidents).

Les sujets ont ete evalues au debut de …
Langage et Soi verbal Des rapports entre pathologies limites et dysphasies graves chez l'enfant
1999
Resume Ce travail dessine les convergences et les divergences qui existent entre dysphasie grave de l'enfant et pathologies limites de l'enfance. Il a egalement pour but de s'interroger sur les troubles sous-jacents qui generent les tableaux symptomatiques de la dysphasie grave. Le concept d'un trouble majeur de l'activite representative parait fecond, exploitable cliniquement et devant etre prolonge par une interrogation sur la representation de soi chez le dysphasique grave, en mettant a profit l'apport de Stern quant aux processus d'edification des « sens de soi «, notamment celui du « sens du Soi verbal «. De facon dialectique, la dysphasie grave offre un modele invoque permettant de me…
Naturalistic follow-up study of rehospitalization rates and assigned disability status of patients with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum psychosi…
2020
Patients with first-episode schizophrenia spectrum psychosis (FEP) are at risk of not visiting an out-patient psychiatrist and are assigned disability status within a short period after diagnosis.The aim of this study was to conduct a naturalistic follow-up of FEP patients to explore their use of mental healthcare services and the rate of assigned disability status after FEP.This was the first study in Latvia to include all consecutive patients with FEP admitted to the largest regional hospital in South East Latvia, Daugavpils Psychoneurological Hospital (DPNH). Patients received standard treatment in a real-world environment. The mean follow-up time was 33 months (Min = 20 months, Max = 40…
A 5-Year Follow-Up Study of Psychotherapy
1990
This 5-year study examined students who were in individual psychotherapy. The specific interest of the study was in the stability of changes in their self-concept after psychotherapy. Students who were patients at the Dental Health Care Unit were used as a control group. Self-concept was measured by a multidimensional measure which consisted of four dependent variables: symptoms, Beck’s Depression Inventory, self-image test and general progress during therapy. Changes in self-concept were presented as change profiles which showed that statistically significant changes had occurred in the experimental group during the 5-year follow-up study. However, the profile of the control group remained…
Intraoperative cryoablation of atrial fibrillation with the old-fashioned cryode tips: a simple, effective, and inexpensive method.
2006
Nowadays atrial fibrillation is usually treated simultaneously with cardiac procedures, and new cryo-systems have been developed for performing easier and faster intraoperative ablation. However, the old cryode designs can still be useful in surgical practice and represent a more cost-effective method. In this article we present a technique using old-fashioned cryodes for intraoperative treatment of atrial fibrillation and comment on its advantages and limitations.
The Lasting Influences of Early Food-Related Variety Experience: A Longitudinal Study of Vegetable Acceptance from 5 Months to 6 Years in Two Populat…
2016
International audience; Children's vegetable consumption falls below current recommendations, highlighting the need to identify strategies that can successfully promote better acceptance of vegetables. Recently, experimental studies have reported promising interventions that increase acceptance of vegetables. The first, offering infants a high variety of vegetables at weaning, increased acceptance of new foods, including vegetables. The second, offering an initially disliked vegetable at 8 subsequent meals markedly increased acceptance for that vegetable. So far, these effects have been shown to persist for at least several weeks. We now present follow-up data at 15 months, 3 and 6 years ob…
Does Childhood Reading Disability or Its Continuance Into Adulthood Underlie Problems in Adult-Age Psychosocial Well-Being? A Follow-Up Study
2019
This follow-up study aimed at a better understanding of the associations of reading disability (RD) with adult-age psychosocial well-being. We compared adult-age psychosocial well-being in 48 individuals (20–39 years) with documented childhood RD but without comorbid disabilities to 37 matched controls. The associations of psychosocial well-being with childhood and adult-age reading fluency were studied in the RD group, controlling for IQ, gender and unemployment. Psychosocial well-being was assessed with commonly used self-report questionnaires. No group differences were found in psychosocial well-being. In the RD group, lower adult-age reading fluency was associated with symptoms of depre…
Change, Reliability, and Stability in Self-perceptions in Early Adolescence: A Four-year Follow-up Study
1995
Changes in self-perceptions of fitness, appearance, and self-esteem among adolescents were assessed in a 4-year follow-up study. Both the changes in the mean levels across time (profile analysis), and the changes in the reliability and stability of individual differences (i.e. covariance stability as test-retest correlations) were examined. The subjects (64 boys, 49 girls) were 11 years old at the first annual measurement. Self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, as well as self-assessment questionnaires specifically designed for this study to assess Perceived Fitness and Perceived Appearance. MANOVA-and Simplex-models were used in the analysis. Our results among the…
Testing theories of romantic development from adolescence to young adulthood: Evidence of a developmental sequence
2003
In an 8-year prospective study conducted on 103 subjects, the developmental sequence of and the factors contributing to a bonded romantic outcome in young adulthood were investigated. The subjects’ self-concepts and their relationships with mothers, fathers, and same-sex friends were assessed at the ages of 13, 15, and 17 years. Having a romantic partner and the quality of relationships with romantic partners were assessed at ages 13, 15, 17, and 21 years. Evidence was found for a developmental sequence in romance with respect to differences in the quality and duration of romantic relationships over time. Factor analysis revealed that at age 21, bonded romantic love emerged as a romantic o…
