Abstract Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been identified in intestinal mucosal eosinophils and associated with psychological stress gut dysfunction. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is commonly characterized by altered motility, immune activation, increased barrier permeability along heightened susceptibility to psychosocial stress. Despite intensive research, the role of stress-associated dysfunction remains uncertain. In this study, we evaluated eosinophil activation profile CRF...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic disorder of gut-brain interaction frequently accompanied by mental conditions, including depression and anxiety. Despite showing substantial heritability being partly determined genetic component, the underpinnings explaining high rates comorbidity remain largely unclear there are no conclusive data on temporal relationship between them. Exploring overlapping architecture IBS conditions may help to identify novel loci biological mechanisms...
The main objective is to delimit the cognitive dysfunction associated with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) in adult patients by applying Continuous Performance Test (CPT3™). Additionally, provide empirical evidence on usefulness of this computerized neuropsychological test assess ME/CFS.The final sample (n = 225; 158 Patients/67 Healthy controls) were recruited a Central Sensitization Syndromes (CSS) specialized unit tertiary hospital. All participants...
This study examines neuropsychological impairments associated with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and explores their association related clinical factors. Sixty-eight women CFS were assessed a battery. Raw scores adjusted for age gender converted to T according normative data extracted from local sample of 250 healthy subjects. Neuropsychological dysfunction was calculated using summary impairment indexes (proportion test outside normal limits-T score <40-for each cognitive domain). Finally,...
Abstract Background Psychosocial risk factors influence the course of transplantation. evaluation is an important part pre‐transplantation processes, yet there are no standardized instruments in Spanish. Objective To translate, adapt, and test reliability Stanford Integrated Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT) organ cell transplantation patients Spanish context. Method A version was developed adapted using WHO's guidelines. The first 30 candidates' SIPAT interviews were recorded scored by...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of brain-gut interaction characterised by abdominal pain and changes in habits. In the diarrhoea subtype (IBS-D), altered epithelial barrier mucosal immune activation are associated with clinical manifestations. We aimed to further evaluate plasma cells integrity gain understanding IBS-D pathophysiology. One jejunal biopsy one stool sample were obtained from healthy controls patients. Gastrointestinal symptoms, stress, depression scores recorded....
Acute spinal cord injury leaves patients severely impaired and generates high levels of psychological distress among them their families, which can cause a less active role in rehabilitation, worse functional recovery, perceived satisfaction with the results. Additionally, rehabilitation professionals who deal this could ultimately experience higher stress more risk burnout. This article presents study protocol ESPELMA project, aimed to train clinical management acute injury–associated...
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a complex neuropsychiatric condition characterized by the presence of symptoms and signs (either motor or sensory) that cannot be explained any known medical mental disease. It frequently presented with psychiatric comorbidities, such as major depression. Its prognosis poor, low improvement recovery rates at 1 year after their onset, no particular treatment has demonstrated significant efficacy in this regard. Here, we describe management patient...
Although current diagnostic procedures favour the diagnosis of similar syndromes in different pathological processes, it cannot be overlooked that many psychiatric symptoms share a 'surface grammar' differ their 'deep or structure. In case presented, we describe an acute psychosis where Koro-misidentification syndrome might diagnosed. discussion point out how confusing this approach be, as well feasible way to compensate for shortcomings contemporary descriptive psychopathology.
Functional gastrointestinal disorders have been related with different psychological conditions. On the contrary, role of factors within motor remains unclear. The objective this study was to explore differences and congruence clinical performance profile subjective functionality among patients diagnosed functional disorders. Using a double-blind design, 56 inpatients from Gastroenterology Department were included in study. No major detected between two groups. However, coherent physical...
We analyzed clinical and psychosocial factors in patients with refractory psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, seeking characteristics that could hasten diagnosis.Psychogenic seizures remain a diagnostic challenge. Prognosis is best if are treated within 2 years of symptom onset. Psychosocial have been shown to provide important information for differential diagnosis.Over year 1132 consecutive patients, our hospital's Epilepsy Unit suspected 93 having confirmed 67. referred these psychiatric...
