L’impact psychologique de la douleur en soins palliatifs : entre majoration de l’angoisse de mort et renforcement du sentiment d’existence, un impact…
2018
Resume La prise en charge de la douleur en soins palliatifs est une priorite. En effet, la presence d’un ressenti algique engendre chez le patient des repercussions importantes tant au niveau physique que psychologique. Les retentissements de la douleur sur la sphere psychique s’averent multiples, allant de la majoration de l’angoisse de mort au gel de la capacite de penser. Toutefois, paradoxalement, bien que la douleur perturbe le patient dans ses fondations existentielles, elle peut parfois presenter des fonctions au sein de la dynamique psychique. Cet article vise a questionner les retentissements psychologiques de la douleur en soins palliatifs, a interroger les fonctions que cette der…
Évolution du concept d’alliance thérapeutique en psychanalyse, de Freud à Renik
2012
Resume L’alliance therapeutique se definit comme la collaboration mutuelle, un partenariat, entre le patient et le therapeute dans le but d’accomplir les objectifs fixes. Ce concept a pris naissance en psychanalyse ou il a donne lieu a d’intenses debats. Nous proposons une synthese de ces debats, depuis les premieres intuitions de Freud jusqu’a l’actuel courant d’intersubjectivite. Ceci permet de mettre a jour les arguments d’une question qui n’est finalement pas tranchee, mais qui trouve cependant une voie d’expression dans les recherches portant sur les therapies breves analytiques. En effet, la confrontation d’idee a essentiellement porte autour du fait de savoir si la notion d’alliance …
Incertitude et présentification en hypnose clinique
2018
Nous proposons d’analyser une situation clinique dans une perspective de psychothérapie intégrative. Nous nous inscrivons dans le cadre de différentes approches : humaniste, psychodynamique, cognitive et comportementale, hypnose et EMDR. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons le parcours d’une patiente dont les réactions ont nécessité des aménagements du cadre thérapeutique et un changement de référentiel théorique. Nous sommes passés avec Mme Barnes d’un travail centré sur les cognitions et les comportements à une approche sensorielle et expérientielle par hypnose. La thérapie a initialement ciblé une symptomatologie anxieuse pour finalement se développer sur un versant existentiel intégrant la…
Measuring Orthorexia Nervosa: Psychometric Limitations of the ORTO-15.
2017
AbstractOrthorexia nervosa has recently been defined as excessive preoccupation with healthy eating, causing significant nutritional deficiencies and social and personal impairments. The ORTO-15 is the most widely used instrument to evaluate orthorexia nervosa, although previous studies obtained inconsistent results about its psychometric properties, and there are no data on the Spanish version. Thus, the main objective of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the ORTO-15. In order to cross-validate the results, two independent samples were used (Sample 1: n = 807, 74.1% women; Sample 2: n = 242, 63.2% women). The results did not support t…
New insights in the neurological phenotype of aceruloplasminemia in Caucasian patients
2017
Abstract Introduction The diagnosis aceruloplasminemia is usually made in patients with advanced neurological manifestations of the disease. In these patients prognosis is poor, disabilities are severe and patients often die young. The aim of our study was to facilitate recognition of aceruloplasminemia at a disease stage at which treatment can positively influence outcome. Currently, the neurological phenotype of aceruloplasminemia has been mainly described in Japanese patients. This ‘classical’ phenotype consists of cerebellar ataxia, hyperkinetic movement disorders and cognitive decline. In this study we describe the spectrum of neurological disease in Caucasian patients. Methods Data on…
Bumetanide prevents brain trauma-induced depressive-like behavior
2019
AbstractBrain trauma triggers a cascade of deleterious events leading to enhanced incidence of drug resistant epilepsies, depression and cognitive dysfunctions. The underlying mechanisms leading to these alterations are poorly understood and treatment that attenuates those sequels not available. Using controlled-cortical impact (CCI) as experimental model of brain trauma in adult mouse we found a strong suppressive effect of the sodium-potassium-chloride importer (NKCC1) specific antagonist bumetanide on appearance of depression-like behavior. We demonstrate that this alteration in behavior is associated with a block of CCI-induced decrease in parvalbumin-positive interneurons and impairmen…
Influence of gut microbiota on neuropsychiatric disorders
2017
The last decade has witnessed a growing appreciation of the fundamental role played by an early assembly of a diverse and balanced gut microbiota and its subsequent maintenance for future health of the host. Gut microbiota is currently viewed as a key regulator of a fluent bidirectional dialogue between the gut and the brain (gut-brain axis). A number of preclinical studies have suggested that the microbiota and its genome (microbiome) may play a key role in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, alterations in the gut microbiota composition in humans have also been linked to a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions, including depression, autism and Parkinson’s dis…
Maternal inflammation has a profound effect on cortical interneuron development in a stage and subtype-specific manner
2018
AbstractSevere infections during pregnancy are one of the major risk factors for cognitive impairment in the offspring. It has been suggested that maternal inflammation leads to dysfunction of cortical GABAergic interneurons that in turn underlies cognitive impairment of the affected offspring. However, the evidence comes largely from studies of adult or mature brains and how the impairment of inhibitory circuits arises upon maternal inflammation is unknown. Here we show that maternal inflammation affects multiple steps of cortical GABAergic interneuron development, i.e., proliferation of precursor cells, migration and positioning of neuroblasts, as well as neuronal maturation. Importantly,…
Short‐term neuropsychiatric outcomes and quality of life in COVID‐19 survivors
2021
BACKGROUND: The general medical impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19) are increasingly appreciated. However, its impact on neurocognitive, psychiatric health and quality of life (QoL) in survivors after the acute phase is poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate neurocognitive function, psychiatric symptoms, and QoL in COVID-19 survivors shortly after hospital discharge. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of a prospective study of hospitalised COVID-19 survivors followed-up for 2 months after discharge. A battery of standardised instruments evaluating neurocognitive function, psychiatric morbidity, and QoL (mental and physical components) was administered by telephone. RESULTS: Of the …
Blood zinc levels and cognitive and functional evaluation in non-demented older patients.
2018
A complete battery of geriatric and psychometric tests was used to determine whether plasma-borne zinc (Zn), a key ion in neuroplasticity, can be associated with the severity of functional, psychological and cognitive impairment in non-demented older individuals. There was a significant positive correlation between plasma Zn levels and the concentration subcategory measured with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test (p 0.001), but not the total MMSE score, and the levels were significantly reduced in polymedicated patients (defined as concurrent administration of5 drugs). No correlations were found between plasma Zn levels and depressive symptoms measured with the Yesavage scale fo…
