Ziel vorliegenden Studie war Bewertung von FNH Ultraschallbildern, hier insbesondere deren im Echtzeit kontrastverstärktem Ultraschall (CEUS) und zudem Untersuchung des zeitlichen Ablaufs...
This article builds on and extends the 'optical-coenaesthetic disproportion' (OCDisp) hypothesis of feeding eating disorders (FEDs) matching data obtained through clinical research with laboratory evidence from neuroscience neuropsychological studies. The OCDisp hypothesis, developed assessment in setting bodily experience using IDentity EAting (IDEA) disorder questionnaire, argues that persons FED internal perception one's embodied self (i.e., coenaesthesia) is deeply affected (their...

Abnormal space experience (ASE) is a common feature of schizophrenia, despite its absence from current diagnostic manuals. Phenomenological psychopathologists have investigated this experiential disturbance, but these studies were typically based on anecdotal evidence limited clinical interactions. To better understand the nature ASE in schizophrenia and attempt to validate previous phenomenological accounts, we conducted qualitative study 301 people with schizophrenia. Clinical files...
Adipose tissue (AT) biopsies were performed in a random population sample of 74 clinically healthy middle-aged men (40–49 years) from southern Italy. The percentage saturated fatty acids (FA) AT was directly correlated with systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure (p<0.01). This relationship independent smoking habit body weight. the upper DBP quintile (range 90–102 mm Hg) significantly richer palmitic acid (p<0.01) compared to that lowest quintile. Dietary history demonstrated...
