IntroductionThe worldwide pandemic exacerbated the new role of the media.If previously the discussion was on whether new or traditional media had primacy in popularity and exposure, nowadays the question is whether communicating health issues through social and traditional media leads to understanding their content better and to more trust in both types of media.ObjectivesWe set the following objectives for this study:(1) to examine trust in the traditional and new media among university students,(2) according to the level of media trust to compose a psychological portrait,establish the most prevalent coping strategies,and emotional reactions to the pandemic.Methods213 university students (55.9% women,Mage=19 years) were tested from December 2020-March 2021.We examined the attitude towards information on coronavirus presented in the media and to investigate the level of severity of neurotic states,the level of psychological stress,and basic coping strategies used by respondents.Resultsshowed that although students generally prefer to use Internet news, trust in traditional media increased during the pandemic. We examined a general psychological portrait of young people derived from trust in the media. In the group of students who trust media information, we found indifference (39% of respondents) and helplessness (24.4%). In the group convinced that the media are hiding the actual state of affairs, anger prevailed (32.4%). The third group, confident that the media exaggerate everything, experienced indifference and anger (38.5% and 32.7%, respectively).ConclusionsWe may conclude that desire to learn more accurate and unbiased information firsthand indicates students’ attitude towards traditional media as more reliable sources of information.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe current pandemic crisis disturbed the life of universities and college campuses leading to an overwhelming effect on the educational system, social life, and mental health of students. In this scenario, coping strategies like resilience and hope provide a counterbalance in periods of uncertainty and stress.ObjectivesThis study aims to: a) evaluate the prevalence and severity of depression, anxiety, and stress among higher education students during the COVID-19 pandemic; b) characterize the hope and resilient coping levels of graduate students.MethodsUsing a convenience sampling method, online self-reported data were collected between April 2020 to January 2021. The information gathered includes a Sociodemographic Form, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) and the Herth Hope Index (HHI).ResultsA total of Portuguese 1522 students (75.1% women and 24.9% men) took part in this study. The sample mean age was 22.88±6.93 years [range 18-59 years]. We identified a significant prevalence of symptoms of stress (35.7%), anxiety (36.2%) and depression (28.5%) in our population. The BRSCS score indicated that 60.2% of students exhibited low, 22.7% moderate and 17.1% high levels of resilient coping. The HHI mean was 35.53±5.92 [range 12-48].ConclusionsThe study findings indicate a substantial portion of the students is at high risk of psychological consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study recommends that is needed to get a wider picture of today’s “new normal” education and to develop supportive strategies to enhance students’ mental health and well-being in future pandemics.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionEating disorders (ED) are associated with other mental illnesses, but the association of ED with pain is less well understood.ObjectivesTo study the association of ED with headache and abdominal pain in adolescent girls.MethodsIn 2015-2018, 917 girls aged 12-17 were examined using the Body Image and Eating Distress scale (Koskelainen et al., 2001) and questions about frequency of recurrent headache and abdominal pain over the past six months. Adolescents were divided into three groups: girls with eating disorders (ED, n = 20); subthreshold eating disorders (SED, n = 88); and a control group (CG, n = 809).ResultsHeadaches of varying frequency are were reported by 80% of girls with ED, 70.4% of girls with SED and 52.2% of CG girls. Frequent headaches (every week) were reported by 60% of girls with ED, 40.9% of girls with SED, and 29.9% of CG girls (χ2 = 20.21, p = 0.003). Recurrent abdominal pain was reported by 65% of girls with ED, 56.8% of girls with SED, and by 46.6% of CG girls. Weekly abdominal pain affected 30% of girls with ED, 20.4% of girls with SED and 12.9% of CG girls. Combined weekly pain were commoner in girls with eating distress (in 20% of girls with ED and in 12.5% with SED) than in CG (7.7%, χ2 = 3.92, p = 0.04).ConclusionsEating disorders in adolescents are often associated with pain, which can lead to late recognition of the disease, worsening its course and prognosis.DisclosureThe study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation grant # 21-15-00033

Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe use of nasogastric-tube feeding (NGT) in the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) in children and adolescents is recommended by current guidelines. Nonetheless, the literature lacks studies assessing prognostic factors for modifications of AN-specific psychopathology treated with NGT.ObjectivesTo assess potential prognostic affecting improvement in AN-specific psychopathology in children and adolescents hospitalized for AN, treated with NGT.MethodsRetrospective study assessing young inpatients with AN, treated with NGT. Considered outcomes (admission vs discharge) were AN-specific psychopathology (Eating Disorder Inventory-3 (EDI-3): Drive for Thinness (DT); Body Dissatisfaction (BD); Eating-Disorders Risk (EDRC)) and body-mass index (BMI). Considered potential predictors were demographics, duration of untreated illness (DUI), severity (admission BMI), diagnoses, early vs late (0-7 vs 8+ days after admission) start of NGT, drugs). Models for specific contributions of predictors related to outcomes were assessed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).ResultsFifty-three inpatients (F=53, mean age 15.1±2.0 years) were enrolled. Both higher DT (F(1,22)=15.07, p<0.001) and BD improvement (F(1,22)=7.73, p=0.011) were predicted by lower admission BMI. Higher BMI improvement was predicted by lower admission BMI (F(1,47)=10.39, p<0.001) and age (F(1.47)=6.12, p=0.011. AN subtypes, comorbidities, antidepressants, and different antipsychotics did not predict any outcome.ConclusionsIn this study, greater improvement in AN-specific psychopathology (DT and BD) and weight in patients treated with NGT was predicted by lower admission BMI. These results suggest that young patients with greater severity may highly benefit from NGT. These findings, if confirmed in wider and controlled samples, could help in optimizing the treatment with NGT in young inpatients with AN.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionHepatic ones are some of the most described somatic complications in anorexia nervosa (AN) affected patients. They can be due to malnutrition, which is the more usual thing, or due to re-feeding. The first one can lead to more marked elevations of the hepatic enzymes, especially alanine-aminotransferase (ALT). It’s been also described the relation between a sharply decreased body mass index (BMI) and this kind of complications, but there are still to determine more predictors.ObjectivesIdentifying clinical predictors of hepatic complications in AN.MethodsWe analysed data from 71 AN affected patients hospitalized at Bellvitge Hospital from January 2016 to October 2021. We used IBM SPSS Statistics 22 to do all the statistics in this work.ResultsThe medium age of the sample was 27.66 years with 10.8 years of evolution of AN. The medium BMI was 13.88. 33.80% of them had some sort of hepatic enzymes elevation, two of them a several one. AST, ALT and ALP were significantly more elevated in those patients with lower BMI. GGT was significantly more elevated in patients with more years of disorder development. We didn’t identify correlation between any purgative method and hepatic alterations.ConclusionsThe elevation of ALT, AST and ALP seems to be related with the BMI of the patients, while the elevation of the GGT turns out to be related to the time of evolution of the eating disorder. Purgative methods don’t seem to be related to the development of hepatic alterations in AN.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Introduction
Adrenal insufficiency is a rare medical condition which can occur in children. Parents, being the primary support and support for the child, are generally involved in the care of their sick child.ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of anxiety symptoms and associated factors in parents of children with adrenal insufficiency.Methods
This is an analytical cross-sectional case-control study over a period of 4 months in 2019, carried out with parents of children with Adrenal Insufficiency followed at the pediatric outpatient clinic in Taher Sfar Mahdia University Hospital. We used an anonymous questionnaire that included a socio-demographic fact sheet and the Hamilton anxiety scale for exploring anxiety symptoms.ResultsA total of 38 parents of children with Adrenal insufficiency and 38 control parents participated in the study. The current age of the child was between 1 and 16 years old with an average of 9.1 and standard deviation of 4.22 For the assessment of anxiety, 55.3% of the parents had a score greater than 20 attesting to the presence of an anxiety symptomatology. In addition, only 26.3% of control parents presented anxious symptoms. There is a significant difference between the two populations (p = 0.010 OR = 3.459). Anxiety was associated with having a child with SI (OR=3.4), female gender (OR=4.2), unemployment (OR=6.33), and low socioeconomic status.ConclusionsParents have a considerable burden in the care and management of their child with a chronic illness, which takes time and a lot of patience. Detecting anxiety symptoms in this population will help them manage it.DisclosureNo significant relationships.
General Psychosomatic Medicine or the Loss of the Core of Being
Authors: Bast S. 
Published: September 2022

IntroductionThe authors presents an overview of the schools of learning in the area of modern psychosomatic medicine.ObjectivesThe author presents different variants for the concept of disease in psychosomatics.MethodsGroddeck was of the opinion that illness was a “creative endeavour”. Adler speaks of the will to be ill. Schulz Henke found that there are “gaps” where one would expect “normal life coping”. Heraclitus said the character of the human is his fate. In psychosomatic medicine, we must focus attention on the character failings. Viktor von Weizäcker spoke of the revolving door principle. Gebsattel concentrated on the inhibition in becoming. Arthur Jores described psychosomatic disorders as human illnesses. Humans become sick when they find themselves in a “dead-end-street of destiny”. They lose their core of being. Günther Ammon describes the psychosomatic reaction as the expression of a disturbed interaction process and advocates the psychoanalytical group therapy in the treatment of psychosomatic illnesses.Results
In psychosomatics one looks for a special personality type or for a special trigger situation. One asks about the childhood anamnesis and the biography, about the characteristic drives and the character problems for the respective illness.Those who have lost their core of being can regain it through self-education and self-reflection. However, a “core of being” must be present.ConclusionsDepending on the illness, character and social environment, it can happen that a patient “learns to express his wishes and fantasies, needs and sensitivities through his respective physical symptoms and complaints.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

IntroductionPediatric epilepsy is a debilitating disease that impacts not only children with epilpsy but also persons arround them. It is often considered as a source of anxiety for family caregivers.ObjectivesAssess the level of anxiety in caregivers of children with epilepsy and to identify factors related to it.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study between July and October 2020. It included caregivers of children with epilepsy hospitalized in the pediatric neurology department of Sfax. We used the STAI-Y scale to assess the level of state anxiety (STAI-AE).ResultsForty four womens participated in our study. Low socio-economic level was found in 31.8% of cases. The average age of children was 4.9 years. The mean duration of epilepsy was 2.2 years. It was comorbid with an autism spectrum disorder or an intellectual disability in 15.9% of cases. In 70.5% of the cases, the children were dependent on their caregivers in their daily lives. The level of anxiety was moderate in 27.3% and high to very high in 13.6% of them. A higher state-anxiety score was correlated with a longer duration of epilepsy (p=0.033), a lower familial socioeconomic level (p=0.013) and a higher number of children in family (p=0.048).ConclusionsPediatric epilepsy is associated with significant level of anxiety in family caregivers. This anxiety increases with the duration of the disease and with the presence of socioeconomic and family difficulties. Thus, psychosocial support for caregivers should be integrated into a global approach of the disease.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Published: September 2022

IntroductionAnxiety disorders (ADs) are pervasive, detrimental, and associated with numerous psychiatric disorders; however, their etiology and effective treatment strategies are not yet fully explored.ObjectivesWe aimed to study whether the symptom severity of ADs is related to mindfulness and metacognition among adults. In addition, we wanted to compare metacognition and mindfulness between patients with ADs and healthy controls (HC).MethodsTwo hundred participants were enrolled in this study. Structured clinical interview, sociodemographic form, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form (FFMQ-S), Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) were administered. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was conducted to compare the groups in terms of mindfulness and metacognition. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to measure the association between anxiety symptom severity, mindfulness, and metacognition.ResultsThe main finding indicates that Positive Beliefs about Worry are associated with reduced symptom severity of ADs. Furthermore, the results suggest that HC have more Positive Beliefs about Worry and Nonjudging of Inner Experience compared to patients with ADs, who use Negative Beliefs about Uncontrollability and Danger and Need to Control Thoughts to a greater extent.ConclusionsThis study suggests that dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs may influence symptom severity of ADs among adults. We advise that focusing on reducing maladaptive metacognitions may be beneficial while treating ADs in adultsDisclosureNo significant relationships.

ABSTRACT
Stomata are epidermal pores that control gas exchange between plants and the atmosphere. In Arabidopsis, the ERECTA family (ERECTAf) receptors, including ERECTA, ERECTA-LIKE 1 (ERL1) and ERL2, redundantly play pivotal roles in enforcing the ‘one-cell-spacing’ rule. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the functional specificities of receptors are likely associated with their differential subcellular dynamics. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident chaperone complex SDF2-ERdj3B-BiP functions in many aspects of plant development. We employed pharmacological treatments combined with cell biological and biochemical approaches to demonstrate that the abundance of ERECTA was reduced in the erdj3b-1 mutant, but the localization and dynamics of ERECTA were not noticeably affected. By contrast, the erdj3b mutation caused the retention of ERL1/ERL2 in the ER. Furthermore, we found that the function of SDF2-ERdj3B-BiP is implicated with the distinct roles of ERECTAf receptors. Our findings establish that the ERECTAf receptor-mediated signaling in stomatal development is ensured by the activities of the ER quality control system, which preferentially maintains the protein abundance of ERECTA and proper subcellular dynamics of ERL1/ERL2, prior to the receptors reaching their destination – the plasma membrane – to execute their functions.

Η χρόνια χρήση κάνναβης και η σχιζοφρένεια πιστεύεται ότι επηρεάζουν τη διεργασία ανταμοιβής. Ενώ έχουν μελετηθεί και για τις δύο περιπτώσεις οι συμπεριφορικές και νευρικές επιδράσεις στη διεργασία κινήτρων, δεν έχει μελετηθεί η αλληλεπίδρασή τους, αν και η χρόνια χρήση κάνναβης είναι συνήθης στους ασθενείς με σχιζοφρένεια. Στην παρούσα μελέτη ογδόντα εννέα συμμετέχοντες χωρισμένοι σε τέσσερις ομάδες (χρόνιοι χρήστες κάνναβης και μη χρήστες καθώς και ασθενείς με σχιζοφρένεια χρήστες κάνναβης και μη χρήστες) εκτέλεσαν ένα έργο λήψης απόφασης ανάμεσα σε δυο επιλογές, αφού είχαν προηγηθεί σήματα της αναμενόμενης ανταμοιβής (υψηλή/χαμηλή ανταμοιβή/τιμωρία ή ουδέτερο), ενώ παράλληλαυποβάλλονταν σε σάρωση εγκεφαλικής δραστηριότητας με τη χρήση Λειτουργικού Μαγνητικού Συντονισμού (fMRI). Η αναμονή ανταμοιβής και τιμωρίας είχε ως αποτέλεσμα την ενεργοποίηση περιοχών ενδιαφέροντος, όπως του θαλάμου, των βασικών γαγγλίων, της αμυγδαλής και του φλοιού της νήσου. Η χρόνια χρήση κάνναβης και η σχιζοφρένεια είχαν αντίθετα αποτελέσματα αναφορικά με την ευαισθησία αναμονής ανταμοιβής. Ειδικότερα, οι χρήστες του δείγματος και οι ασθενείς μη χρήστες παρουσίασαν ταχύτερη συμπεριφορική απόκριση και αυξημένη δραστηριότητα στον πρόσθιο/οπίσθιο φλοιό της νήσου στα σήματα υψηλής αναμενόμενης ανταμοιβής και τιμωρίας σε σύγκριση με το δείγμα μη χρηστών και ασθενών χρηστών. Το ίδιο μοτίβο αλληλεπίδρασης παρατηρήθηκε στην ενεργοποίηση του δεξιού θαλάμου όσον αφορά στα σήματα ανταμοιβής έναντι των σημάτων τιμωρίας. Η μελέτη αυτή παρείχε αποδείξεις για την αλληλεπίδραση της χρόνιας χρήσης κάνναβης και σχιζοφρένειας στη διεργασία ανταμοιβής και τιμωρίας και αναδεικνύει την ανάγκη περαιτέρω μελλοντικής έρευνας λόγω της σπουδαιότητας αυτής της αλληλεπίδρασης στην παθοφυσιολογία αυτών των καταστάσεων και των κλινικών συνεπειών τους.

Σε αυτήν την εργασία παρουσιάζεται μια μελέτη περίπτωσης με θέμα μια εναλλακτική προσέγγιση διδασκαλίας της ιστορίας σε έναν μαθητή με μέτρια νοητική υστέρηση. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, γίνεται παρουσίαση ενός εγχειρήματος να διευκολυνθεί η εκμάθηση της ιστορίας από έναν μαθητή της Δ’ Δημοτικού (έντεκα ετών). Ο μαθητής διαγνώστηκε με μέτρια νοητική υστέρηση και ορισμένες κινητικές δυσκολίες. Το γενικό θέμα της διδασκαλίας ήταν η μυθολογία, ενώ ο μαθητής είχε εκφράσει την προτίμηση του στους άθλους του Ηρακλή. Κατά τη διάρκεια της παρέμβασης χρησιμοποιηθήκαν αφηγηματικές τεχνικές, ο ηλεκτρονικός υπολογιστής και αξιοποιήθηκαν δραστηριότητες αισθητικής αγωγής. Η επιλογή αυτή είχε δύο στόχους – αφενός να διευκολύνει τη διδασκαλία και τη μάθηση και αφετέρου να υποστηρίξει και να ενισχύσει τη μνήμη και την αυτοπεποίθηση του μαθητή. Συμπερασματικά, παρατηρήθηκε πως η χρήση των τεχνικών αυτών είχε ως αποτέλεσμα τόσο τη δημιουργία ενός αισθήματος ικανοποίησης από τον μαθητή, όσο και την ενίσχυση της αντίληψης και τη συγκράτηση πληροφοριών στη μνήμη του, έστω και προσωρινά.
