Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented worldwide crisis affecting several sectors, including health, social care, economy and society at large. World Health Organisation has emphasized that mental health care should be considered as one of the core sectors within overall response. By March 2020, recommendations for organization services across Europe have been developed by national international professional associations. Methods European Psychiatric Association...
Abstract Background. Compulsory admission procedures of patients with mental disorders vary between countries in Europe. The Ethics Committee the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) launched a survey on involuntary 40 to gather information from all National Associations that are members EPA develop recommendations for improving processes and promote voluntary care. Methods. focused legislation admissions key actors involved procedure as well most common reasons admissions. Results. We...
Background/Aim. Mental health of university students is under increasing concern worldwide, because they face challenges which predisposes them to depression and anxiety. The aim this study was identify demographic socioeconomic variables associated with depressive anxiety symptoms among students. Methods. This cross-sectional on 1,940 performed using a questionnaire including variables, Beck Depression Inventory Anxiety Inventory. Results. prevalence in 23.6%, while the 33.5%. were...
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is a disease of cardiac sarcomeres. To identify molecular mechanisms underlying FHC pathology, functional and structural differences in three FHC-related mutations recombinant α-Tm (V95A, D175N, E180G) were characterized using both conventional modified vitro motility assays circular dichroism spectroscopy. Mutant Tm's exhibited reduced α-helical structure increased unordered structure. When thin filaments fully occupied by regulatory proteins,...
The aim of this research was to examine the levels burnout syndrome dimensions in special education teachers and correlations with some socio-demographic characteristics, job assertiveness. included 225 from Serbia (82% were women, 18% men, average age 42.51 ± 9.23 years). Research instruments Maslach Burnout Inventory, Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, a questionnaire. There differences all relation types students' needs. Higher symptoms observed working children motor skill disorders....
Background/Aim. Immune system disorder, including inflammation, takes a significant place when considering still unclear etiology of schizophrenia. The aim this study was to determine the blood levels nonspecific inflammation markers in first episode schizophrenia and their relation therapy response. Methods. In we determined markers: white cells count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) elements differential cell counts (or leukocyte formula): granulocytes...
Microfabricated thermoelectric controllers can be employed to investigate mechanisms underlying myosin-driven sliding of Ca 2+ -regulated actin and disease-associated mutations in myofilament proteins. Specifically, we examined filament sliding—with or without human cardiac troponin (Tn) α-tropomyosin (Tm)—propelled by rabbit skeletal heavy meromyosin, when temperature was varied continuously over a wide range (∼20–63<mml:math...
Abstract Background Considering the recently growing number of potentially traumatic events in Europe, European Psychiatric Association undertook a study to investigate clinicians’ treatment choices for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods The case-based analysis included 611 participants, who correctly classified vignette as case PTSD, from Central/ Eastern Europe (CEE) ( n = 279), Southern (SE) 92), Northern (NE) and Western (WE) N 148). Results About 82% woulduse antidepressants...
Biomolecular motors such as the muscle protein myosin with its partner actin hold great promise for actuation in hybrid nanoscale biomicroelectromechanical systems devices (bio-MEMS), particularly future biomedical applications that involve highly localized delivery of biomolecules over short distances (e.g., micrometers) to specific tissue or cellular locations. Two fundamental issues construction and packaging actomyosin-based nanoactuators are ability electrically insulate microelectrical...
Introduction. Extradural intradiploic epidermoid cysts are rare, representing less than 0.25% of all primary intracranial tumors. They can be neurologically silent and only present psychiatric symptoms like depression, cognitive or personality changes. Case Outline. A 68-year-old male with two year long history depressive mood, lack motivation, helplessness, hopelessness poor response to antidepressive drug therapy was described. CT scan showed a well-defined mass in the parietal scalp...
To examine the relationship of multiple maternal and cord blood correlates newborn size to determine relative strength insulin-like growth factor-I association.Thirty-seven venous specimens were obtained at time delivery. Ponderal index birth weight percentile calculated birth. Neonatal length estimates performed with a measuring board. All mothers nonsmokers had normal glucose tolerance. There was wide range prepregnancy body mass indexes (BMI) (19.6-43.4). Neonates ponderal (2.12-2.75)...
In adults, hypertension has been shown to be inversely correlated with bone mineral content (BMC); however, the association between blood pressure (BP) and BMC not studied in pediatrics.Total body of 187 overweight (mean BMI = 28.7 kg/m(2)) Latino children adolescents age 11.2 years) were measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Seated systolic BP (SBP) diastolic (DBP) a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Hypertension was defined by SBP or DBP above 90(th) percentile for height, age,...
?Reading the Mind in Eyes? test (RMET) is one of most popular and widely used measures individual differences Theory (ToM) capabilities. Despite demonstrating good validity differentiating various clinical groups exhibiting ToM deficits from unimpaired controls, previous studies raised question RMET?s homogeneity, latent structure, reliability. The aim this study to provide evidence on psychometric properties, newly adapted Serbian version RMET. In total, 260 participants (61.9% females)...
