Authors: Nicolau I. , Iotu A. , Leti M. , Andrei L. , Stancu M. , Rad F. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionAlexithymia is a construct which has been described in persons under the autistic spectrum. Besides Autistic Spectrum Disorders, alexithymia nowadays is highly correlated with several psychiatric disorders, among them being Eating Disorders. Several studies suggested a “cognitive-affective” division in the inner experience of patients with Anorexia Nervosa, because of their difficulty in describing, identifying and recognising their own emotions as well as othersObjectivesThis study aims to identify how many adolescents diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa meet the characteristics of alexithymic personality traits and in which domain of these traits they had the most struggles with.MethodsThe study lot includes 34 adolescents diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa evaluated by a self report survey: Online Alexithymia Questionnaire-G2 (OAQ-G2). The cut-off scores are: 113 and above - correlated with alexithymia, 95-112 - correlated with possible alexithymia and under 94 - insignificant clinical score. We analyzed the result of every subcategory of the questionnaire in order to determine whether there is an area affected more than others.ResultsThe sample included 34 patients, female to male ratio 31:3, evaluated in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Psychiatry Hospital. 29,41% had clinically semnificative scores for alexithymic traits, while 52,94% scored for possibile alexithymia according to the OAQ-G2.ConclusionsIn 82,35% of patients from the lot we identified alexithymic personality traits. The F1 subcategory (difficulty identifying feelings) and F5a (problematic interpersonal process) were the ones that distinguished the alexithymic group from the possible alexithymic one.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Introduction15-year-old female referred to outpatient unit after COVID lockdown for binge eating and purging with depressive symptoms and anxiety.ObjectivesTo show the importance of a correct diagnosis in an impulsive patient with eating disorderMethodscase report and literature reviewResultsThe patient presents emotional instability with interpersonal difficulties with high fear of rejection. She suffered from fear of gaining weight and desires to lose weight with rejection of her body image. Fluoxetine and lorazepam are started together with low doses of olanzapine. During the follow up she presented a worsening of mood, onset of self-injuries and an episode of suicidal attempt. A biographical examination was performed, expressing a feeling of academic failure with difficulty concentrating and performing simple tasks. As a child she is described as impulsive, with frequent arguments with classmates. CPT III was performed with a high probability of ADHD. Treatment was started with lisdexamfetamine up to 50 mg with good tolerance. From the beginning of the treatment the patient expressed a feeling of improvement in the control of emotions as well as in the management of her impulsivity. There was an improvement in her academic performance with a decrease in self-injury episodes. The patient was able to express improvement in the sense of incapacity she felt.ConclusionsThis case shows how marked emotional dysregulation and impulsive symptoms improves after diagnosis and subsequent treatment of ADHD, also improving eating symptoms. ADHD is present in eating disorders, especially in those with impulse dyscontrol such as binge eating disorder or bulimia nervosa.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Authors: Lebedeva N. , Chebakova Y. , Parshukov A. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionMaladaptive defense mechanisms can play a role in maintaining the inadequate social and psychological adaptation of patients.ObjectivesThis study aims to establish if denial is one of the central psychological defense mechanisms in patients with somatoform disorder.Methods10 female patients at Moscow Clinical hospital №33 with somatoform disorder and panic attacks (aged 20 to 43) and 20 female participants of the control group (aged 19 to 35) were presented with 10 pictures of the Thematic Apperception Test. Pictures were previously annotated into 4 groups: neutral stimuli (2, 6GF), provoking self-blame / depression ideation stimuli (3GF,14, 15, 17GF), provoking aggression ideation stimuli (8ВМ, 18 GF, 9GF), provoking aggression/self-blame ideation stimuli (13 MF). We conducted content analyses of stories. Mann-Whitney U-test was used.Results

Haphephobia: a rare specific phobia of being touched
Authors: Nahar S. , Inam M. , Miah M. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionHaphephobia is a morbid fear of being touched or touching. The symptoms of Haphephobia are very similar to other specific phobias.ObjectivesPresentation of a case of haphephobia due to childhood sexual abuseMethods
Mrs. X., A 22-year-old Bangladeshi female, presents to the psychiatric consult service with an intense fear of being touched by her husband. She told that whenever her husband comes closer to her, her heart starts to pound fast, she feels discomfort in the chest, a burning sensation on her whole body, and loses control over the environment. Furthermore, she can’t sleep properly for the fear of being touched. Her in-laws’ parents concluded that some ‘evil spirits’ might cause the symptoms. So her husband brought her to a Psychiatrist. On an in-depth assessment session, ensuring all the confidentiality issues, she told the Psychiatrist that she has a history of brutal sexual abuse followed by the threat to kill her by her stepfather at the age of fourteen.Results
After a thorough medical workup and history gathering, her consultant psychiatrist could elucidate the source of the presenting picture and told her that she developed haphephobia, and suggested taking psychotherapy along with prescribed medicines.Conclusions
Fear of being touched is a particularly difficult fear to cope with. Patients with haphephobia after sexual assault should be handled very cautiously by the experts keeping confidentiality issues in mind. Cognitive-behavior therapy, Exposure therapy, Virtual reality exposure therapy, practicing mindfulness, using daily coping strategies, and medications like beta-blockers, anxiolytics, antidepressants can help a person to overcome haphephobia.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionBody dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a relatively common disorder characterized by a preoccupation with non-existent or slight defects in appearance. It was first described in 1886 by Morselli as dysmorphophobia.ObjectivesThis work reviews the current available data on BDD and its treatment options and describes a clinical case that reports an improvement in symptomatology after surgery.MethodsNon-systematic review of the literature with selection of scientific articles published in the past 10 years; by searching Pubmed and Medscape databases using the combination of MeSH descriptors. The following MeSH terms were used: “body dysmorphic disorder”, “dysmorphophobia”. Clinical file consultation.ResultsThe usual treatment involves a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Antidepressant medication, mainly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been used. If the symptoms do not improve, a different SSRI can be considered or clomipramine, venlafaxine or second-generation antipsychotics can be useful.ConclusionsThe role of surgery remains controversial, several studies indicating that the symptoms typically worsen after an aesthetic procedure because the preoccupation shifts to a different body area. However a recent study reported 32 of the 41 patients that underwent surgery were highly satisfied with the outcome. In our clinical case, our patient, a 20-year-old female with non-delusional dysmorphic ideas about her nose initiated treatment with paroxetine with poor response and was, against medical opinion, submitted to a rhinoplasty. Three weeks after the surgery there was an improvement in preoccupation about her nose. More research should be made to clarify the role of surgery in this disorder that often lacks adequate therapeutical response.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
Infective endocarditis - a challenge for modern medicine. Review
Authors: Dobrzyński Michał , Czarnota Jakub , Skubel Tomasz , Rybak Natalia 
Published: September 2022

Infective endocarditis (IE) is defined by a focus of infection within the heart and is a feared disease across the field of cardiology. Prevalence varies from country to country, remaining in the range of 3-10/100 000 a year. Despite optimal care, mortality approaches 30% at 1 year. With an ageing population and increasing use of implantable cardiac devices and heart valves, the epidemiology of IE has changed. The microbiology of the disease has also changed, and staphylococci, most often associated with health-care contact and invasive procedures, have overtaken streptococci as the most common cause of the disease. The main lesions of IE are vegetations which cause emboli and destruction of valvular and/or perivalvular tissues leading to acute valvular regurgitations. Two main treatment pathways include antibiotic therapy and surgery The key to choosing the correct and most effective path is early diagnosis. The challenges posed by infective endocarditis are significant and therefore need further evaluation.
Visceral artery aneurysms - review
Authors: Żyga Justyna , Wysokińska Olga , Małek Anna , Zadrożna Karolina , Iwaniszyn-Zapołoch Klara 
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Visceral artery aneurysms remain a rare condition. A rupture is the dangerous complication, which occurs in about 10-20% of the cases, they have a high mortality rate estimated up to 70%. Rupture percentage is higher in pregnancy, up to 50%, with considerable mortality rates of 75% for the pregnant and 95% for the foetus. The most common location of abdominal aneurysm is splenic artery with prevalence of 60% out of visceral aneurysms affecting this vessel. Since they are asymptomatic in 95% of cases, they are usually a random finding of examinations performed for other indications.
State of knowledge: Patients with a suspected visceral aneurysm are qualified for ultrasound as the first line examination, but currently computed tomography is the most favourable method. Catheter-based angiography is considered to be the gold standard. It allows precise identification of the location of aneurysm and its morphology. For the treatment of visceral artery aneurysms numerous ways are available, however the endovascular method is recommended as the first choice in most cases.
Conclusions: Visceral artery aneurysms are a rare but potentially fatal pathology. The silent nature makes it difficult to diagnose. When recognised, aneurysms should be treated immediately, since rupture is associated with a considerable high mortality rate. Open and endovascular interventions are equally durable for elective repair of visceral artery aneurysms, but endovascular interventions are considered to be safe and effective, resulting in lower morbidity and mortality rate. There is a need for further large studies evaluating effectiveness and long-term outcome of endovascular treatment.
Continuous Patrolling Games

Published: September 2022

Continuous Patrolling Sometimes it is necessary to have a Patroller (on foot, in a car, or maybe a drone) move around a network so as to prevent an intruder (the Attacker) from infiltrating or otherwise ruining the network operation. The “attack” could be, for example, removing a painting from the Louvre, crossing a border, or planting a bomb. The first possibility could take place at only a discrete set of points on the network, say, nodes. However, the last two types of attack could take place anywhere. The latter continuous problem has been modelled as a game by Steve Alpern, Thuy Bui, Thomas Lidbetter, and Katerina Papadaki in the article “Continuous Patrolling Games.” The Attacker decides when and where to attack (the duration of the attack is specified by the problem), whereas the Patroller chooses a unit speed path, possibly periodic. If the Patroller passes the attacked point while the attack is going on, he wins the game, as the attack is thwarted. Otherwise the attack is successful, and the Attacker wins the game. The authors determine optimal strategies for both players for many classes of networks and find good strategies that work on any network. These ideas could be adapted to real-life patrolling problems on networks.
Distributionally Robust Losses for Latent Covariate Mixtures

Published: September 2022

Reliable Machine Learning via Structured Distributionally Robust OptimizationData sets used to train machine learning (ML) models often suffer from sampling biases and underrepresent marginalized groups. Standard machine learning models are trained to optimize average performance and perform poorly on tail subpopulations. In “Distributionally Robust Losses for Latent Covariate Mixtures,” John Duchi, Tatsunori Hashimoto, and Hongseok Namkoong formulate a DRO approach for training ML models to perform uniformly well over subpopulations. They design a worst case optimization procedure over structured distribution shifts salient in predictive applications: shifts in (a subset of) covariates. The authors propose a convex procedure that controls worst case subpopulation performance and provide finite-sample (nonparametric) convergence guarantees. Empirically, they demonstrate their worst case procedure on lexical similarity, wine quality, and recidivism prediction tasks and observe significantly improved performance across unseen subpopulations.

TEORIA DA ATRIBUIÇÃO E DO NÍVEL DE INTERPRETAÇÃO EM RELAÇÃO À PROBLEMÁTICA AMBIENTAL
Authors: Andreoli Taís Pasquotto , Campi Prearo Leandro 
Published: September 2022

O trabalho teve como objetivo verificar as teorias da atribuição e do nível de interpretação em relação à problemática ambiental, aqui especificamente concernente aos resíduos (lixo). Sendo assim, elaborou-se um referencial teórico acerca da evolução da discussão ambiental e da emergência dos conceitos de desenvolvimento sustentável e sustentabilidade, bem como sobre as teorias da atribuição e do nível de interpretação. O método se caracterizou por uma abordagem quantitativa, realizada por meio de uma série de nove levantamentos (surveys) junto a 259 participantes, investigando a qual agente os participantes atribuíam a culpa pela geração de lixo, de acordo com diversas manipulações no texto informativo. Com isso, sobressaiu a clara dificuldade e resistência dos participantes em assumir sua parcela de culpa pelo lixo e/ou se aproximar dessa, sendo repetidamente atribuída culpa para os demais agentes. Isso aconteceu apesar do informe gradualmente mais incisivo no decorrer dos tratamentos empregados. Como consequência, reflete-se uma tendência de distanciamento e abstração quanto às questões ambientais, o que pode contribuir para um baixo engajamento em atitudes posteriores relacionadas a isso.
Noise analysis of optoelectronic oscillators in the presence of the relative intensity noise of the laser
Authors: Jahanbakht Sajad 
Published: September 2022

Optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) have recently been considered very good candidates for producing ultra-low phase noise radio frequency (RF) oscillations. One of the most important noise sources of any OEO is the relative intensity noise (RIN) of the optical field in the optical part of this system. It is the dominant noise source in some OEO cases. The initial source of the RIN is the laser; however, it may be largely enhanced in the fiber by some phenomena such as the guided entropy mode Rayleigh scattering. Here a frequency domain analysis approach is introduced to separately analyze the effect of both the low-frequency RIN (LFRIN) and the high-frequency RIN (HFRIN), i.e., the RIN around the RF harmonics, on both the phase and amplitude noises of the delay-based single-loop/dual-loop OEOs. The presented approach can take into account the RIN at both the input and the output of the optical fibers. The measured or analytical nonlinear gain function of the photodetector and the RF amplifier can be taken into account to accurately characterize the important effect of the amplitude noise to phase noise (AN-PN) conversion. It is shown that the AN-PN conversion can largely enhance the LFRIN-induced phase noise. Also, to a much lesser degree, it can enhance the HFRIN-induced phase noise. Furthermore, it is shown that the AN-PN conversion reduces the HFRIN- and LFRIN-induced amplitude noise. It is also shown that the fibers’ dispersion has a small effect on the phase/amplitude noise power induced by either LFRIN or the HFRIN, especially for smaller fiber lengths. The validity of the new analysis approach is verified by comparing its results with those of the previously published works in the literature.
Obstetric and perinatal outcomes in female survivors of childhood or adolescent cancer: Protocol of a meta-analysis of population-based cohort studies

Published: September 2022

Introduction
Approximately 80% of children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) cancer patients are expected to fully recover and survive for five years or more. The reproductive health is a particular area of their concern. Evidence demonstrates that previous therapeutic treatments for cancer and comorbidities may have harmful effects on female fertility and delivery outcomes, which will significantly affect patient quality of life. However, these reports are heterogeneous. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide the up-to-date evidence on the risk of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes in female survivors of childhood or adolescent cancer.

Methods and analysis
This meta-analysis will be carried out and reported with adherence to the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook. We will search online databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception to August, 2022 to identify all relevant cohort studies examining the relationship between cancer and subsequent obstetric and perinatal outcomes. Data extraction from eligible studies will be conducted and crosschecked separately by two investigators using pre-tested standardized data extraction forms. Discrepancies will be resolved via a third investigator. Methodological quality assessment for each study will be conducted using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale (NOS) tool. We will apply the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model to calculate the pooled estimates. Further sources of heterogeneity will be explored by performing subgroup analysis based on multiple study characteristics. Potential publication bias will be assessed by inspection of a funnel plot, Begg’s and Egger’s regression tests of funnel plot asymmetry.

Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval will not be required as all data used for this pooled analysis will be obtained from published cohort studies. The results of this study will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and conference presentation.
