Domain specificity of error monitoring: an ERP study in young and older adults
Authors: Lenzoni Sabrina , Sumich Alexander , Mograbi Daniel
Published: November 2022

Metacognition refers to the ability to monitor and control one's cognitive processes which plays an important role in decision-making throughout the lifespan. It is still debated whether metacognitive abilities decline with age. Recent neuroimaging evidence suggests the existence of domain-specific mechanisms underlying metacognition and it is possible that age-related decline follows domain-specific trajectories across cognitive functions. Event-related potential (ERP) research has identified neural markers of performance monitoring. The error-related negativity (ERN) and the error positivity (Pe) are electrophysiological correlates of error detection and error awareness, respectively. However, ERP differences across cognitive domains have not been yet investigated. In the current study, thirty-eight young adults and thirty-seven older adults completed a classic Flanker Task (perceptual) and an adapted memory-based version during EEG recordings. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to explore domain-specific mechanisms of error monitoring ERPs and age group differences. No difference in ERN amplitude was found between young and older adults and across domains. ERN peaked earlier in the perceptual domain than the memory domain. ΔERN was larger for the memory domain than the perceptual domain. Pe was smaller in older adults but similar across domains. Memory Pe peaked earlier in young adults than older adults ΔPe was larger for perceptual than memory flanker. Memory Pe peaked earlier in young as compared to older adults. During the task, ERN decreased in young but not in older adults. Memory Pe decreased in young adults but increased in older adults while no significant change in perceptual Pe was found. Multivariate analyses of whole scalp data support cross domain differences. These findings suggest that error monitoring may rely on domain-specific mechanisms. Moreover, we speculate that reduced error awareness may be associated with sensory decline in aging, as indicated by learning effects specific to the memory domain.

Rusia en África. Nuevas dinámicas desde el Kremlin
Authors:   Universitat de Girona, Ruiz-Cabrera Sebastián
Published: November 2022

Hace menos de una década, el continente africano era prácticamente la última prioridad de la política exterior de Rusia. Atrás quedaron las décadas doradas en las que el peso de la URSS se hacía notar en niveles como la ideología, las infraestructuras, la economía, la política o el sector educativo. Ahora bien, ante el creciente aislamiento internacional, Rusia vuelve a apostar por el apoyo del continente mientras Occidente mira con preocupación tales esfuerzos. En 2019 tuvo lugar en Sochi (Rusia) el primer foro económico entre la potencia dirigida por Putin y África, un foro en el que se definieron las líneas maestras en política exterior del Kremlin. Era un claro anuncio: Rusia estaba de vuelta en el continente africano después de una larga ausencia, en concreto desde la disolución de la Unión Soviética en 1991. El artículo analiza si su presencia en África es una presencia tan alarmista como se presenta por la Unión Europea o la Casa Blanca
De la agenda normativa al “giro pragmático”: Causas, implicaciones y dilemas de la estrategia securitaria de la UE en el Sahel.
Authors:   Universidad Ramon Llull, Mateos Martín Óscar
Published: November 2022

La región del Sahel se ha convertido en una prioridad estratégica para la Unión Europea (UE). Bruselas ha desplegado en la última década diversas misiones en el marco de su llamada Política Común de Seguridad y Defensa en países como Mali o Níger, a la vez que ha ofrecido un respaldo directo y masivo a nuevos actores regionales como el G5 Sahel, contribuyendo así a la proliferación de iniciativas militares impulsadas por diferentes actores globales que han convertido esta región en un espacio cada vez más militarizado y securitizado. El artículo analiza el contexto y las características de esta estrategia, considerando que escenifican un giro sustancial del papel tradicionalmente más normativo de la UE en el continente africano a una estrategia mucho más “pragmática”. Se argumenta que este cambio no responde a una única lógica sino a factores de diferente naturaleza y, a su vez, que presenta múltiples problemas, implicaciones y dilemas para la agenda europea en África en el corto, medio y largo plazo

Stimulation corticale pour le traitement de la douleur
Authors: Garcia-Larrea L. , André-Obadia N.
Published: November 2022

La stimulation épidurale du cortex moteur (eMCS) a été conçue dans les années 1990 et a maintenant largement supplanté la stimulation thalamique pour soulager la douleur neuropathique. Ses mécanismes d’action impliquent l’activation de multiples zones cortico-sous-corticales via une activation initiée dans le thalamus, avec implication des opioïdes endogènes et une inhibition descendante vers la moelle épinière. Les preuves de l’efficacité clinique sont maintenant étayées par au moins sept essais randomisés et les effets favorables peuvent persister jusqu’à dix ans, mais seul un candidat sur deux est significativement soulagé en l’absence de critère approprié de sélection. La stimulation magnétique répétitive non invasive (rTMS) s’est d’abord développée comme un moyen de prédire l’efficacité des procédures épidurales, avec une forte valeur prédictive positive, puis comme une méthode analgésique à part entière. Des preuves raisonnables provenant d’au moins six essais randomisés sont en faveur d’un effet analgésique significatif de la rTMS à haute fréquence sur le cortex moteur dans la douleur neuropathique, et de manière moins reproductible dans la fibromyalgie. La stimulation du cortex frontal dorsolatéral ne s’est pas avérée significativement efficace jusqu’à présent. Le cortex operculo-insulaire postérieur est une cible nouvelle et attrayante, mais l’évidence en sa faveur reste encore limitée. La stimulation transcrânienne à courant continu (tDCS) est appliquée sur des cibles similaires à celles de la rTMS ; elle ne provoque pas de potentiels d’action, mais module l’état de repos de la membrane neuronale. La tDCS présente des avantages pratiques, notamment un faible coût, peu de problèmes de sécurité et la possibilité de protocoles à domicile ; cependant, la qualité limitée de la plupart des rapports publiés lui confère actuellement un faible niveau de preuve. Les patients réagissant à la tDCS peuvent différer de ceux qui sont améliorés par la rTMS, et dans les deux cas des séances répétées sur une longue période peuvent être nécessaires pour obtenir un soulagement cliniquement significatif. Ces procédures exercent leurs effets par le biais de multiples réseaux cérébraux distribués qui influencent les aspects sensoriels, affectifs et cognitifs de la douleur chronique. Leurs effets s’exercent principalement sur les états hyperexcitables anormaux plutôt que sur la douleur aiguë expérimentale. L’extension de la durée des effets sur le long terme reste un défi, pour lequel différentes stratégies sont discutées dans cette revue.

Praxisanleiter*innen (auch als Praxisanleitungen bezeichnet) spielen eine wichtige Rolle für den Erfolg oder Misserfolg einer frühpädagogischen Ausbildung: Sie stehen Praktikant*innen in Kitas als Begleitpersonen zur Seite und fungieren so als vermittelnde Schnittstelle zwischen fach- oder hochschulisch Erlerntem und der konkreten Fachpraxis. Dabei bewegen sich Praxisanleiter*innen in einem Arbeitsfeld, das von hohen Erwartungen an ihre Aufgabe geprägt ist, aber bislang wenig verbindliche Strukturen dafür bietet. Die rekonstruktive Studie gibt Einblick in das professionelle Selbstverständnis und weitere handlungsleitende Orientierungen anleitender Fachkräfte.

O prognóstico dos doentes com infeção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) melhorou consideravelmente nas últimas décadas. Por um lado, com o aparecimento da terapia antirretroviral (TAR), o sarcoma de Kaposi (SK) passou a ser uma complicação rara na atualidade. Por outro, com o aumento da esperança média de vida desta população observa-se um risco acrescido de doenças cardiovasculares, como o enfarte agudo do miocárdio (EAM), que persiste mesmo com o tratamento e não pode ser explicado apenas pelos fatores de risco cardiovasculares tradicionais. Os autores descrevem um caso clínico de um jovem com infeção pelo VIH, sem realização de TAR de forma consistente, com diagnóstico recente de SK e EAM. Este artigo aponta factos que poderão ter conduzido à ocorrência destas doenças, mostrando que o SK não é uma doença que ficou no passado e salientando o risco atual de complicações cardiovasculares nos doentes com infeção por VIH.
Suplementação de iodo na gravidez e impacto no desenvolvimento neurocognitivo da criança
Authors:   ICBAS, Almeida Susana
Published: November 2022

Introdução: O iodo é fundamental para a síntese das hormonas tiroideias, que desempenham um papel essencial no desenvolvimento cerebral. Em Portugal, a Direção-Geral da Saúde emitiu, em 2013, uma orientação clínica que recomenda a suplementação de iodo a mulheres em preconceção, grávidas ou a amamentar. Objetivos: O objetivo desta revisão é determinar se a suplementação de iodo na gravidez tem impacto no neurodesenvolvimento da criança. Métodos: Foi efetuada uma revisão baseada na evidência, recorrendo à análise de normas de orientação clínica, revisões sistemáticas, meta-análises e ensaios clínicos aleatorizados e controlados indexados nas bases de dados National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Canadian Medical Association Practice Guidelines Infobase, The Cochrane Library, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness, Bandolier, Evidence Based Medicine Online e PubMed. Resultados: Foram incluídas seis revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises e duas normas de orientação clínica. Estas últimas recomendam a suplementação de iodo antes da conceção, durante a gravidez e lactação. A suplementação de iodo durante a gravidez em regiões com deficiência severa reduz o risco de cretinismo e aumenta o quociente de inteligência. Relativamente ao efeito no neurodesenvolvimento, em áreas com deficiência leve a moderada os resultados são divergentes. Discussão: A suplementação materna de iodo tem efeitos positivos no neurodesenvolvimento em regiões com deficiência severa. Contudo, existem poucos estudos de boa qualidade realizados em regiões com deficiência leve a moderada. Conclusões: São necessários ensaios clínicos aleatorizados e controlados de qualidade, em regiões com deficiência leve a moderada de iodo, para esclarecer os efeitos desta suplementação.

This article describes how this new role has evolved and how other opportunities to teach and undertake clinical research have developed in the same area over the same time period. It highlights the opportunities that can follow a full-time career in the NHS and the advantages of travelling with an open mind and heart.
