We are interested exploring post-lockdown anxiety concerns. conducted an online survey using snowball sampling techniques. longitudinal...
Debate about the psychological background and impact on self-perception social integration of cosmetic surgery minimally invasive procedures (MICPs), such as botulinum toxin (BoNT) facial filler injections is still ongoing. The aim present study was to assess MICPs. By means a survey procedure, thorough battery validated questionnaires (VQs) investigating sociodemographic backgrounds changes in body perception (brown obsessive-compulsive scale modified for dysmorphic disorder; appreciation...
Objective To evaluate the differences in olfactory sensitivity, nutritional habits, levels of modulators feeding and smell, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures metabolic assays between two groups participants with stage I II obesity reciprocal relationships these parameters. Methods Eighteen (11 female; mean age = 54.3 ± 13.1 years) 20 (10 54.5 11.9) underwent a food frequency questionnaire Sniffin' Sticks® test battery, anthropometric parameters, BIA measurements as well...
Differences in gustatory sensitivity, nutritional habits, circulating levels of modulators, anthropometric measures, and metabolic assays may be involved overweight (OW) development. The present study aimed at evaluating the differences these aspects between 39 OW (19 female; mean age = 53.51 ± 11.17), 18 stage I (11 54.3 13.1 years), 20 II (10 54.5 11.9) obesity participants when compared with 60 lean subjects (LS; 29 54.04 10.27). Participants were evaluated based on taste function scores,...

Abstract Objective Impaired self-awareness (ISA) of altered functional capacities is a common sequelae severe acquired brain injury that can severely hamper neuro-rehabilitation in this clinical population. ISA frequently associated with anosodiaphoria and/or apathy. Although several scales are available to measure apathy, no tools have been published specifically assess after injury. In paper, we reported an initial effort develop subscale commonly used ISA, is, the Patient Competency...
