Watson’ In İnsan Bakım Modelinin Kavramsal Açıdan İncelenmesi
Authors: KABASAKAL Ayşe , KİTİŞ Yeter
Published: March 2020

Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik bakımına farklı bir bakış
açısı getiren hemşire teorisyen Jean Watson’ın bakım modelinin (İnsan Bakım Modeli)
özünün daha iyi anlaşılması amacıyla modeli oluşturan kavramlar ve model ile
yapılan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ilk
olarak; İnsan Bakım Modelini oluşturan iyileştirici faktörler ve iyileştirme
süreçleri, kişilerarası bakım ilişkisi, bakım anı, bakım iyileştirme bilinci
kavramlarına yer verilmiştir. Daha sonra modelin kullanıldığı bazı çalışmaların
sonuçlarına değinilmiştir. Modelin temeli hemşirelik bakımının sevgi, saygı ve
nezaketle verilmesine dayanmaktadır. Hemşire ve hasta fiziksel
karşılaşmalarının ötesinde varoluşsal alanlarda gerçekleşen bütünleşme yoluyla
birbirlerini etkilemektedirler. Bu şekilde meydana gelen kişilerarası bakım
ilişkisi hemşire ve hastanın birbirini anlamasını kolaylaştırmaktadır.
Dolayısıyla hastanın memnuniyetini ve güvenliğini artırmakta, iyileşmesine
yardımcı olmaktadır. Hemşire kişilerarası bakım ilişkisi içerisinde
iyileştirici faktörleri kullanarak bakımın iyileştirici gücünü ortaya koyar.
İnanç- umut aşılama, duyarlılık, güven ilişkisi kurma, duyguların ifadesine
izin verme, öğrenme ve öğretme, iyileştirici çevre iyileştirici faktörlerden
bazılarıdır. Yapılan çalışmalar modelin hemşirelik uygulamaları için iyi bir
rehber olduğunu ve bakım sonuçlarını iyileştirdiğini göstermektedir. Bu
literatür incelemesi sonucunda Watson’ın Modelinin insan bakımının değişik
alanlarında kullanılabilecek bütüncül bir model olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu
bağlamda modelin kavramsal çerçevesine ve işleyişine ilişkin bu derlemenin
modelden yararlanmak isteyen hemşire uygulayıcılara yararlı olacağı
düşünülmektedir.

A Hidden Assumption of Gouy-Chapman-Stern Model
Authors: Li Chenkun , Huang Jun
Published: March 2020

Understanding the double layer at the electrode-electrolyte interface is of fundamental importance to electrochemistry, and also lays the basis for rational design of energy storage and conversion technologies. The prevailing Gouy-Chapman-Stern (GCS) model and its many derivatives invariably picture the double layer as a serial connection of a compact layer and a diffuse layer. We unravel that these models based on the serial connection tacitly prescribe a zero potential gradient at the solution-side boundary. This assumption is generally invalid, resulting in an incorrect expression for the double-layer impedance. Amendment of this deficiency gives out a revised analytical expression for the double-layer impedance at the potential of zero charge with new features. Specifically, the contribution of the compact layer now shows frequency dispersion. The deviation between the original and amended models is greater when the double layer is confined in narrower space. This work changes our basic understanding of double layer model and its impedance response.
Artificial Neural Network (FFBP-ANN) Based Grey’s Relational Analysis for Modeling Dyestuff Solubility in Supercritical CO2 with Ethanol as the Co-Solvent
Authors: Srinidhi FNU , Patel Deepak , S A Vasantha Kumara
Published: March 2020

The research on dye solubility modeling in supercritical carbon dioxide is gaining prominence over the past few decades. A simple and ubiquitous model that is capable of accurately predicting the solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide would be invaluable for industrial and research applications. In this study, we present such a model for predicting dye solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as the co-solvent for a qualitatively diverse sample of eight dyes. A feed forward back propagation - artificial neural network model based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was constructed with seven input parameters for solubility prediction, the network architecture was optimized to be [7-7-1] with mean absolute error, mean square error, root mean square error and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient to be 0.026, 0.0016, 0.04 and 0.9588 respectively. Further, Pearson-product moment correlation analysis was performed to assess the relative importance of the parameters considered in the ANN model. A total of twelve prevalent semiempirical equations were also studied to analyze their efficiency in correlating to the solubility of the prepared sample. Mendez-Teja model was found to be relatively efficient with root mean square error and mean absolute error to be 0.094 and 0.0088 respectively. Furthermore, Grey’s relational analysis was performed and the optimum regime of temperature and pressure were identified with dye solubility as the higher the better performance characteristic. Finally, the dye specific crossover ranges were identified by analysis of isotherms and a strategy for class specific selective dye extraction using supercritical CO2 extraction process is proposed.

Published: March 2020

Objective: This study investigated the practices used by mothers of babies with infantile colic to reduce infantile colic and the mothers’ perceptions on the effectiveness of these practices.Materials and Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of the mothers of 257 babies aged 4-12 months who were being monitored by two Family Health Centres in Istanbul. The data of the study was collected through a 26-item questionnaire on which the mothers could mark the t practices they used to reduce infantile colic. Results: The methods that were found the most useful based on the perception of the mothers were the mother’s avoidance of consumption of foods and drinks that produce gas (97%), chancing positions (96.7%), massage (95.7%), listening to the sound of a hair dryer (95.2%) and warmth treatment to the abdomen (91.7%). Conclusion: Consequently, the mothers performed effective and valid practices. However, it was found that the frequency of performing some practices that have high utilisation rates was low. Accordingly, it would be useful to inform the mothers of babies who are at the ages of 2 weeks-4 months at the time of their paediatric health monitoring about the effective and easily performed practices for reducing colic.

Hardware design and representation of graphics in videogames: A case study: the Sega Saturn
Authors: Liboà Marco
Published: March 2020

The paper focuses on how the design of the hardware supports and constrains the representation of graphics in videogames. The Sega Saturn was chosen as a platform of study due to the complexity of its internal circuitry and the period during which it was commercialised, characterised by a shift in the representation of game graphics from 2D to 3D. The peculiar characteristics of Saturn’s two video display processors and the way they shape the graphics of games developed for it are presented in a few selected examples. In particular, it illustrates how a 3D space can be simulated by means of 2D background layers, and how hardware limitations and different video-signals can affect the final rendering of game graphics. It concludes that different graphical techniques, present in a certain episode of a game series, could be absent in a direct sequel and then reappear all together in a later episode, leading to a non-linear technological innovation trajectory. Furthermore, it is ascertained that the Saturn hardware architecture influenced the efforts of developers in subtle and unexpected ways.
Mafia and the representation of Italians
Authors: Pitroso Giulio
Published: March 2020

This study analyses the representation of Italians and the Mafia in video games. It analyses games of different genres with Italian organized crime as the main theme: they differ in terms of gameplay and narrative, though they all have important features in common. The study compares movies about organized crime and video games, in order to understand the relation between themes and genres in these two media. Furthermore, the paper examines both narrative aspects and game design, and is intended to raise questions concerning the genre of Mafia games. It also analyzes the role of Italian ethnic background, as well as the role played by gender and sexual orientation, and relates those elements to the values commonly associated with the Italian Mafia. Finally, the study highlights how games represent more general stereotypes that are associated with Italian culture, such as the consumption habits of food and music. The methods of this research are based on semiotic analysis, sociolinguistics and Cultural Studies.

Authors: Dianari Rr. Getha Fety
Published: March 2020

The rapid development of information and communication technology has caused the emergence of a new economy, indicated by the phenomenon of internet-based businesses or e-commerce. This research uses the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to analyzes the impact of e-commerce on Indonesia’s economic growth in 1996-2015. The results show that the development of e-commerce as represented by the increase of the number of e-commerce transaction value, the increase of the number of business websites, and the number of internet users is proven to bring positive impact on Indonesia’s economic growth. This validates the hypothesis which states the increasing number of e-commerce transaction value, which is formed by the interaction between business websites as the supply indicator and the internet users as the demand indicator, shall bring enhancement to the intensity of macroeconomic activities. However, the effect is only significant for the long-run relationship but is not significant in the short-run relationship. Keywords: e-commerce; economic growth; ARDL

Authors: Twardoch-Raś Ewelina
Published: March 2020

The aim of the article is to introduce the problem of plants’ representations in the contemporary artistic projects based on medical imaging. The author analyses the problem in the perspective of posthumanistic philosophy, especially in reference to the theories of animal studies (Wolfe, Bakoff, Waldau). She also introduces the concept of Michael Marder, who builds his argument around the question of whether people are the only ones who have political, social and ethical rights. The second part of the article concerns strategies and method of plants’ bodies parametrization used in the selected artistic project. The author presents a few of them to show how artists investigate the problem of identity, autonomy and agency of non-human beings, with special regard to plants. The projects are analyzed in reference to various theories of connections between human and non-human beings, as well as to biopolitics’ strategies.
Du nécessaire aiguillon antiraciste
Authors: Maazouzi Djemaa
Published: March 2020

Postulant que l’antiracisme participe de l’action, qu’il est toujours un travail à mener contre une inclinaison sociale (collective ou individuelle) à construire ou à choisir une cible (sans ôter à ce phénomène ses ancrages socio-historiques, culturels et politiques précis), nous conviendrons qu’il fait en cela obstacle, qu’il est littéralement résistant : il est force à valeur intensive et contraire qui s’énonce, se montre, est transmise. Ce numéro d’Alternative francophone s’ouvre sur deux œuvres de l’artiste montréalais Stanley Février qui en donnent en quelque sorte le signal de dissonance : les deux images sont celles de moments de ruptures performées qui, par définition et conséquence, font allégorie en montrant autre chose que ce qu’elles disent, un après-coup, tout en permettant la fulgurance de ce qui est capté au présent. Cette chair, acquise par l'institution cet été 2019, est l'une des premières pièces créées par un artiste noir à entrer au Musée des beaux-arts de Québec.

When Crises Change the Game: Establishing a Typology of Sports-Related Crises
Authors: Brown-Devlin Natalie , Brown Kenon
Published: March 2020

In order to properly evaluate crises that occur in sports, scholars have previously called for a sports-specific crisis communication typology (Wilson, Stavros, & Westberg, 2010). Two studies were conducted to develop the resulting typology. Study 1 utilized a questionnaire to obtain a comprehensive list of sports-related crises that were later grouped into twelve crisis types and three unique clusters through the use of qualitative content analysis. Study 2 utilized a questionnaire completed by 282 college students to determine the levels of crisis responsibility attributed to each cluster of crises. The resulting typology provides the necessary foundation for crisis communication research that uses sports as a context by evaluating the level of organizational blame that exists when a crisis occurs.

Il primo libro de' madrigali a quattro voci
Authors: Quagliati Paolo
Published: March 2020

Quagliati's Libro primo de' madrigali (1608) is a unique attempt within the madrigal literature around the turn of the seventeenth century to suggest to singers two equally valid options of performance, presented in two distinct sets of music: a four-part version, printed in four separate part books, and its reduction to a version for solo voice, printed together with basso continuo in a separate “partitura.” This edition follows the composer's original concept, presenting the four-part madrigals in one volume and the solo-voice version in a separate supplement. Though often discussed by musicologists, Quagliati's madrigals have never appeared in a modern edition. This publication will thus enable performers and scholars to evaluate this “double-edged” enterprise both by its inherent musical qualities and as a musical document of the early seicento.

Ifigenia in Tauride
Authors: Majo Gian Francesco de
Published: March 2020

A composer of the Neapolitan School, Majo (1732–1770) enjoyed a short but distinguished career as an opera composer, with successful visits to Parma, Rome, Venice, and Vienna, where he was invited to compose the opera Alcide negli orti Esperidi to celebrate the coronation of Joseph II as Holy Roman Emperor in 1764. That same year Elector Palatine Carl Theodor commissioned Majo to compose Ifigenia in Tauride for the court theater in Mannheim. With a libretto by the court poet Mattia Verazi, the opera features a progressive musico-dramatic structure, incorporating French elements (especially pantomime and choruses), and reflects the strengths of one of the best orchestras of the day as well as an excellent company of singers. Majo's Ifigenia in Tauride is the culmination of an intense period of operatic reform and experimentation at Mannheim in the early 1760s.

Published: March 2020

Objective: To analyze the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3) mutations in fetuses with thanatophoric dysplasia type I (TD1) and to provide additional data for genotype-phenotype analyses. Materials and Methods: Eight cases of severe fetal short-limb dwarfism detected by antenatal ultrasonography were referred to this center. Before the termination of pregnancy, cordocentesis was performed for FGFR3 gene-sequencing analysis. Postmortem radiographic examination was performed in each instance for definitive diagnosis. Results: By FGFR3 gene sequencing, the authors identified six cases with missense mutations and two cases with stop codon mutations in the FGFR3 gene. Among the 6 FGFR3 missense mutations, four cases revealed a heterozygous p.Arg248Cys mutation, one case had a heterozygous p. Tyr373Cys mutation, and one case had a heterozygous p.Ser348Cys mutation. Discussion: The present data confirm the existence of hotspot FGFR3 mutations of TD1 and suggest that considerable overlap may occur between genotypes and phenotypes among FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasias.

Poor maternal vitamin D status is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes. And increased risk of caesarean delivery. The authors conducted a prospective observational study to determine the association between maternal serum vitamin D levels and spontaneous preterm delivery. Pregnant women between 26 and 34 weeks of gestation, with symptoms of preterm labour were recruited. The control group consisted of healthy pregnant women of similar gestation age. The maternal serum vitamin D and calcium levels were measured and all women were followed up until delivery. The patients’ demographics data and their respective perinatal outcomes were collected and analysed. A total of 161 women were recruited for the study. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency were 41.3%, 50.9%, and 6.8% respectively (p < 0.001). The mean maternal serum vitamin D for control, threatened preterm labour, and preterm birth group were 26.5 ± 3.8 ng/mL, 17.9 ± 8.0 ng/mL, and 13.5 ± 6.98 ng/mL respectively (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the means of serum vitamin D among women with or without antenatal complications, such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. Vitamin D level was positively correlated with gestational age at delivery (p < 0.001) and newborn weight (p < 0.001). Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk of spontaneous preterm labour, although there is no strong evidence of correlation with other antenatal complications. In view of high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in this population, routine supplement of vitamin D maybe beneficial in reduction of premature births.

Published: March 2020

Purpose of Investigation: The relationships between postoperative recovery and changes of circulating levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: The study included prospectively a cohort of 51 females who underwent abdominal hysterectomy for benign diseases. Recovery was assessed with Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40) questionnaire and concentrations of four cytokines during the 72-hours period were measured using human sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Results: Total QoR-40 score significantly declined on the first and the second postoperative days and then returned to baseline (p < 0.001). Interleukin-17 serum levels had no significant trend (p = 0.072). Statistically significant patterns of concentration changes of interferon gamma (p = 0.010), interleukin-10 (p < 0.001), and transforming growth factor (p = 0.016) were found. There were no significant correlations between QoR-40 scores and concentrations of any cytokine, at prespecified study power for moderate relationships at least. Conclusion: Recovery after abdominal hysterectomy was rapid and complete and it was unrelated to serum concentration profiles of examined cytokines.

Authors: Chen W.X. , Tang L.Y.
Published: March 2020

Objectives: Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (PIH) is a common disease of pregnant women. This study explored the correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and PIH and the prognosis of patients with PIH. Materials and Methods: The study included 180 pregnant women were divided into three groups, including PIH+SCH group, PIH+non-SCH group, and normal group. Immunofluorescence method was used to detect thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Student’s t-test and chi-square test were used to analyze the difference between two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between two variables. Results: Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were all significantly upregulated in PIH+SCH group compared with those in normal group and PIH+ non-SCH groups (all p < 0.05) and SCH had a close relationship with SBP (r 2= 0.2163, p = 0.0002). The incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, premature delivery, abortion, FGR, and pregnancy anemia were all cleary increased in PIH+non-SCH, and PIH+SCH groups, compared with those in normal group, respectively (8.3, 10, 13.3, 1 8.3, 23.3; 13.3, 23.3, 26.7, 35, and 36.7 vs.1.7, 5, 3.3, 1.7, and 5.1 (all p < 0.05). The incidences of premature delivery, abortion, FGR, and pregnancy anemia were significantly higher in PIH+SCH group than PIH+non-SCH group (23.3, 26.7, 35, and 36.7 vs. 10, 13.3, 18.3, 23.3 (all p < 0.05). Moreover, serum TSH level was significantly increased in high gestational week group compared with low gestational week group (6.86 ± 0.78 vs. 5.79 ± 0.45, p < 0.05) and SBP, DBP, and MAP were all remarkably elevated in high gestational week group compared with low gestational week group (167.6 ± 12.4 vs. 150.9 ± 10.8; 108.5 ± 11.4 vs. 95.2 ± 11.2; 121.8 ± 13.6 vs. 110.0 ± 12.3 (all p < 0.05). In addition, compared with those in low TSH group, the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, premature delivery, abortion, FGR, and pregnancy anemia were all obviously increased in high TSH group (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: SCH had a close association with PIH and poor prognosis during pregnancy.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and endometriosis in Korean women. Materials and Methods: In a hospital-based case-control study, 134 endometriosis cases and 282 ovarian teratoma cases as controls were selected. All cases were histologically confirmed after laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery, and they were categorized by BMI, as < 18.5, 18.5-22.9, 23-24.9, and > 25 kg/m2, respectively, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for Asia-Pacific populations. Diagnosis for recurrences evaluated mainly by ultrasound or surgery. The authors collected requisite patient information from medical records of seven years. Results: Development of endometriosis was not significantly related to varying BMI. However, when comparing overall median BMI values in endometriosis [21.43 (19.59, 23.61)] and teratoma [22.19 (20.41, 24.61)], BMI was significantly lower in endometriosis cases than in teratoma cases (p = 0.014). There was no significant relation between the BMI groups and American Fertility Society (AFS) stages (Spearman’s r = 0.06584, p = 0.4498). In both of endometriosis and ovarian teratoma patients, the patients with higher BMI than 23 kg/m2 showed elevated recurrence rates (p = 0.024, HR = 2.104 and p = 0.026, HR = 4.417, respectively). Yet, considering varying BMI groups and recurrence rates, recurrence rate had no association among 46 recurrent endometriosis and teratoma cases (p = 0.338). Conclusion: In this study, lower BMI was observed to be possibly associated with endometriosis in comparison to that of other benign disease. BMI did not affect disease severity, whereas obesity was related to the recurrence of endometriosis.

Published: March 2020

A 37-year-old primiparity woman in her 26th week of gestation was transferred to the obstetrical unit of a tertiary-care center for the evaluation of hydrops fetalis. Ultrasonographic findings were normal except for fetal ascites and pleural effusion. In spite of fetal treatment of ascites and pleural effusion, the patient underwent an emergency cesarean section in her 29th week of gestation, due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate. The infant died on day 18 and was diagnosed with congenital tuberculosis (TB). The mother had no symptoms related to lung or extra-pulmonary organ invasion caused by TB. The mother was diagnosed with latent TB during postpartum period. As a result of this case, the authors recommend that physicians suspect latent TB as one of the causes of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) and include maternal infection of TB in the evaluation of NIHF, particularly in countries with a high prevalence of TB.

Published: March 2020

Primary ovarian leiomyoma is a rare type of benign neoplasm. Ovarian leiomyoma cases until a recent date usually showed favorable pregnancy outcomes. Contrary to others, the present authors report a case of a nine-week miscarriage with a giant primary ovarian leiomyoma. This neoplasm originated from the ovary with estrogen secreted by the endocrine organs. Hormone secretion is increased during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester; it is supposed that it stimulated growth and progression of the mass. A close examination in adnexa is necessary at prenatal check.

Published: March 2020

Lower abdominal pain in a girl is a common problem in gynecology of the developmental age (10-20%). It corresponds to the criteria of the concept of “chronic pelvic pain” (CPP), which is defined in accordance with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) as chronic, non-cyclical pain in the area of the lower abdomen, unrelated to the menstrual cycle, lasting at least three months, or cyclic pain lasting for six months. The overriding aim of treatment of CPP in girls and young women is to alleviate existing pain, prevent recurrence of chronic symptoms, ensure future reproductive functions, and restore proper functioning and improve quality of life.

Published: March 2020

Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors hypothesized that a similar association exists between elastin gene polymorphism and POP. Materials and Methods: Patients of Ashkenazi Jewish origin with advanced (stage III-IV) POP (as assessed by POP-Q) and healthy controls were compared for the presence of the elastin gene g28197A > G missense mutation. Results: The missense mutation in the elastin gene was not found in neither the study or the control group. Conclusion: The elastin gene g28197A > G missense mutation was not found to be associated with an increased risk for POP.

Published: March 2020

Objective: To evaluate the prognosis of singleton pregnancies complicated by genital bleeding during the 2nd trimester and to identify the factors associated with poor perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study (January 2009 to December 2012), which included all women presenting with midtrimester bleeding (15 to 27 weeks of gestation). The cases were compared with women without bleeding, who delivered in our center during the same period. Results: Ninety-seven women were included (0.57% of the overall singleton births). An underlying placental cause was discovered by ultrasound in 56% of the cases (low-lying placenta, partially detached placenta or a combination of both of these pathologies). We report a significantly increased rate of preterm birth (47.4% vs. 12.2%; RR=3.9), perinatal mortality (11.3% vs. 1.3%; RR=8.8), PPROM (16.5% vs. 3.7%; RR=4.5; CI 95% [2.8-7.1]), and cesarean section (42.3% vs. 21%; RR=2; CI 95% [1.6-2.5]) in the bleeding group. The factors associated with preterm birth were recurrent bleeding (OR=4.7), gestational age > 22 WG at the first bleeding (OR=3.7), and low-lying placenta. Conclusion: Despite a low incidence, the occurrence of bleeding in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy should alert the physician because of increased perinatal morbimortality. These patients may thus require increased monitoring.

Objective: To describe the impact of a collaborative Italian diagnostic pathway offering ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) in High Risk Antenatal Clinic (HRAC) pregnant women. The study included 395 pregnant women evaluated at HRAC between 2012 and 2016, while analyzing demographic, clinical characteristics, and prescription of ABPM. Pregnant women were firstly seen when gestational age was 19.6 ± 9.6 weeks. In at least one-third of cases, ABPM was followed by medical intervention aiming to modify the pre-existing therapeutic treatment. Hypertension and overweight were the main reasons for performing ABPM. WCH: white-coat hypertension.

Published: March 2020

Aim: Assessing to what extent do Italian women actually know about the emergency contraceptive pills and about their availability. Materials and Methods: A 12-questions questionnaire was organized to investigate the knowledge about the emergency contraceptive pills in a sample of Italian women. The sample was built by sending the questionnaire on time, by using the Computer Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI). Both open and closed answers were collected. Results: 1, 580 eligible women fully answered the questionnaire. It appears that women still face some difficulties to obtain emergency contraceptive pills and have poor knowledge about how the post-coital pills work, and how they can obtain them in Italy. The difficulties to obtain emergency contraceptive pills seems to be in relation to the pharmacologists’ resistance to provide them. Women’s perception of the pharmacologists’ resistance to provide pills is unspecific. Conclusion: The pharmacologists’ resistance to provide pills should be best investigated, as ethical goals and liability issues could be both involved.

BACKGROUNDS: The concepts of addictions and impulse control disorders are changing as reflected in the 11thversion of International Classification of Disorders (ICD-11, WHO, 2018). However, studies focusing on direct comparison of structural brain differences in behavioral and substance addictions are limited.AIM: Here we contrast gray matter volumes (GMVs) across groups of individuals with compulsive sexual behaviordisorder (CSBD), gambling disorder (GD), and alcohol use disorder (AUD) with those with none of these disorders(healthy controls participants; HCs).METHODS: Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was employed to study brain structure and severities of addictions symptoms were assessed with questionnaires. To identify brain regions related to severities of addictions,correlations between questionnaires scores and GMVs were computed.MAIN OUTCOME: We collected MRI (GMVs) data from 26 CSBD patients, 26 GD patients, 21 AUD patients and25 HC participants (all heterosexual males; age: 24-60; M = 34.5, SD = 6.48).RESULTS: Affected individuals (CSBD, GD, AUD) compared to HC participants showed smaller GMVs in the leftfrontal pole, specifically in the orbitofrontal cortex. The most pronounced differences were observed in the GD andAUD groups, and the least in the CSBD group. There was a negative correlation between GMVs and disorderseverity in the CSBD group. Higher severity of CSBD symptoms was correlated with decreased GMV in the rightanterior cingulate gyrus.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Our findings suggest similarities between specific impulse control disorders andaddictions.STRENGHS AND LIMITIATIONS:This study is the first showing smaller GMVs in 3 clinical groups of CSBD, GD and AUD. But the study was limitedonly to heterosexual men. Longitudinal studies should examine the extent to which ventral prefrontal decrements in volume may represent preexisting vulnerability factors or whether they may develop with disorder progression.CONCLUSIONS: Our research extends prior findings in substance use disorders of lower GMV in prefrontalcortical volumes among 3 clinical groups of patients with specific impulse control and behavioral and substanceaddictive disorders. The negative correlation between GMVs and CSBD symptoms and right anterior cingulate gyrus suggests a link with clinical symptomatology.
