Genetic association study of childhood aggression across raters, instruments, and age
2021
AbstractChildhood aggressive behavior (AGG) has a substantial heritability of around 50%. Here we present a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of childhood AGG, in which all phenotype measures across childhood ages from multiple assessors were included. We analyzed phenotype assessments for a total of 328 935 observations from 87 485 children aged between 1.5 and 18 years, while accounting for sample overlap. We also meta-analyzed within subsets of the data, i.e., within rater, instrument and age. SNP-heritability for the overall meta-analysis (AGGoverall) was 3.31% (SE = 0.0038). We found no genome-wide significant SNPs for AGGoverall. The gene-based analysis returned three sign…
Epidemiological and molecular associations between central nervous system disorders and cancer
2021
The study of comorbidity is becoming a key topic in biomedical research, which is especially relevant in the context of population ageing. Comorbidity has profound implications for individuals, practitioners, and health care systems. As a consequence, increasing efforts are being made by the scientific community to characterize better how disorders relate to each other and to identify the factors producing these associations. Cancer and central nervous system (CNS) disorders are among the top leading causes of death and disease burden worldwide. In recent decades direct and inverse patterns of association between CNS disorders and cancer have been reported. However, observational studies ha…
Effects of an incremental maximal endurance exercise stress-induced cortisol on cognitive performance
2019
Exercise; Cognitive functions; Cortisol Ejercicio físico; Funciones cognitivas; Cortisol Exercici físic; Funcions cognitives; Cortisol Objectives: It can be hypothesized that cognitive performance decreases after fatigue protocol when it coincides with the maximum peak of cortisol. The first aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of a single bout of high intensity exercise on behavioural (i.e., attention and memory) and physiological (i.e., salivary cortisol) responses. The second objective was to evaluate the effect of the performance of the cognitive tasks on cortisol levels. Methods: Thirty-four physically active men (at least 5 days/week of physical activity practice) 38.11 (1.5…
Affective temperaments in tango dancers.
2015
Background: Links between affective temperaments and folk culture have been infrequently explored systematically. Creativity and personality and temperament studies, conversely, have reported several associations. Tango is one of the most typical Argentinean folk dance-musical repertoires. The main purpose of this study is to compare affective temperaments between Argentinean professional tango dancers and the general population. Methods: TEMPS-A was administered to a sample of 63 professional tango dancers and 63 comparison subjects from the general population who did not practice tango. Subscale median scores and total median scores with non-parametric statistics were analyzed. Results: M…
“El espíritu fáustico del mundo técnico”. Enfermedad mental y crítica cultural en la España de Franco
2021
'El espíritu fáustico del mundo técnico'. Enfermedad mental y crítica cultural en la España de Franco.‒ Teniendo en cuenta la querencia casi constitutiva de la medicina mental por la crítica cultural, no debe sorprender que, dentro de su particular litigio con la modernidad, la dictadura franquista fuese un periodo de in tensa floración del ensayismo psiquiátrico conservador. Partiendo de los temores de una posible regresión física y moral de la 'Hispanidad' a causa de la artificiosidad de la vida moderna, la infiltración del liberalismo y la erosión de los valores tradicionales, el género fue desplazando su interés hacia un análisis de la 'sociedad neuro tizada' que, con referentes filosóf…
Francoism, the Spanish Transition and the documentary gaze at mental illness
2015
Resumen: Este articulo aborda la mirada cinematografica sobre las instituciones psiquiatricas y la concepcion de la enfermedad mental del franquismo desde la optica antagonica que comenzo a promoverse desde distintos ambitos sociales, politicos y culturales durante la transicion espanola. Partiendo de una aproximacion historica cuyo objetivo es contextualizar la concepcion de la psiquiatria franquista se procede a continuacion al analisis formal y tematico de cuatro documentales clave de la transicion espanola: El desencanto (J. Chavarri, 1976), El asesino de Pedralbes (G. Herralde, 1978) Animacion en la sala de espera (C. Rodriguez Sanz y M. Coronado, 1978-81) y Cada ver es... (A. Garcia d…
Las perturbaciones mentales en el corpus hippocraticum. El concepto "manía"
1991
LA MEDICINA HIPOCRATICA MUESTRA GRAN INTERES POR LOS ESTADOS PATOLOGICOS DE LA MENTE. EL CORPUS HIPPOCRATICUM UTILIZA UNA AMPLIA GAMA DE LOCUCIONES PARA EXPRESAR LOS TRASTORNOS MENTALES, TANTO LOS DE CARACTER TRANSITORIO COMO LOS PERMANENTES O CRONICOS. EN GENERAL, LOS AUTORES CONTINUAN APLICANDO TERMINOS USADOS YA EN LA TRAGEDIA GRIEGA, AUNQUE APORTAN LA ORIGINALIDAD DE LA CREACION DE ALGUNOS NEOLOGISMOS, COMO EL TERMINO "FRENITIS", CON UN SENTIDO ESPECIFICO MEDICO. ENTRE LOS TERMINOS EMPLEADOS DESTACAN LAS LOCUCIONES QUE SE RELACIONAN CON LA RAIZ INDOEUROPEA MEN-, "PENSAR", TALES COMO MANIA Y MAINOMAI. EL SENTIDO DE MANIA ES EL QUE YA APARECE A PARTIR DEL SIGLO V A.C. EN LA TRAGEDIA GRIEG…
A History of the Pharmacological Treatment of Bipolar Disorder.
2018
In this paper, the authors review the history of the pharmacological treatment of bipolar disorder, from the first nonspecific sedative agents introduced in the 19th and early 20th century, such as solanaceae alkaloids, bromides and barbiturates, to John Cade’s experiments with lithium and the beginning of the so-called “Psychopharmacological Revolution” in the 1950s. We also describe the clinical studies and development processes, enabling the therapeutic introduction of pharmacological agents currently available for the treatment of bipolar disorder in its different phases and manifestations. Those drugs include lithium salts, valproic acid, carbamazepine, new antiepilep…
Cine, locura y psiquiatría. 50 películas
2018
El cine tiene un enorme potencial para representar la locura y hacer al espectador reflexionar sobre la línea que separa la “normalidad” de la locura. En virtud de los elementos técnicos que le son consustanciales, tiene la posibilidad de erigirse en un medio idóneo para representar la dislocación que acontece en la locura. La escala, la angulación, los movimientos que puede realizar la cámara como objeto físico y que condicionan la forma como se ofrecen al espectador los restantes elementos icónicos, la iluminación, el flujo diegético de gran labilidad espacio-temporal que genera el montaje de los diferentes planos que componen la película, la combinación de los elementos que entran a form…
Convergent and discriminative validity of the Frail-VIG index with the EQ-5D-3L in people cared for in primary health care
2021
Abstract Background The Frail-VIG frailty index has been developed recently. It is an instrument with a multidimensional approach and a pragmatic purpose that allows rapid and efficient assessment of the degree of frailty in the context of clinical practice. Our aim was to investigate the convergent and discriminative validity of the Frail-VIG frailty index with regard to EQ-5D-3L value. Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study in two Primary Health Care (PHC) centres of the Catalan Institute of Health (Institut Català de la Salut), Barcelona (Spain) from February 2017 to January 2019. Participants in the study were all people included under a home care programme during the study peri…
