This study evaluated the efficacy of a cognitive treatment package for pathological gambling. Sixty-six gamblers, meeting DSM-IV criteria gambling, were randomly assigned to or wait-list control conditions. Cognitive correction techniques used first target gamblers' erroneous perceptions about randomness and then address issues relapse prevention. The dependent measures South Oaks Gambling Screen, number gambling met by participants, as well perception control, frequency perceived...
Epidemiologic and pathologic data demonstrate that malignant mesothelioma occurs preferentially after exposure to long amphibole asbestos fibers. However, mineralogic studies have rarely detected such fibers in the parietal pleura. We hypothesized distribution of pleura was heterogeneous they might concentrate certain areas, as does coal dust patients showing anthracotic "black spots" during thoracoscopy. collected thoracoscopic biopsy samples from these black spots normal areas lung 14...
Trading and gambling appear to share some similarities. Indeed, traders can get professionally involved in high-risk types of trading as if it were gambling. This research explores whether excessive be conceptualized a subset disorders.To better acknowledge the existence an addictive-like behavior discuss its phenomenological similarities with disorders.The data 8 out cohort 221 outpatients seeking treatment our Problem Gambling unit analyzed.Our case series revealed important disorders...
Abstract After intratracheal injection of 0.5 mg UICC chrysotile, rats were sacrificed at various time intervals over a 1-month period, and their pleural cavity washed with saline. Samples examined by means transmission electron microscopy for identification, quantitation, sizing chrysotile fibers. No fibers found in control injected The size quantity that reached the test was time-dependent, two peaks on day 7 (mean number = 9.6 × 104; mean length 1.3 μm) 21 105; 0.3 μm). Such variations...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the inhabitants villages environmentally exposed asbestos, in northeast Corsica, had a higher incidence pleural plaques. X-rays were obtained from subjects aged over 50 yrs, with no occupational exposure asbestos or history disease, one village Murato, and nonexposed, control village, Vezzani. In addition, mineral content air parietal pleura animals zone studied, using transmission electron microscopy. bilateral plaques population 41%, as...
The present radiological status of 133 exworkers (mean age: 58 +/- 0.7 yr) the chrysotile mine Canari (Corsica) was compared to that recorded in 1965, when closed. mean time since first exposure is 27 0.4 yr, and termination asbestos equals 16 0.3 yr. This study showed an evolution radiographic changes: 1965 only 14% subjects had grade 1/1 or more parenchymal fibrosis, 6% bilateral pleural lesions; 1979 these percentages reached 40% 27%, respectively. Subjects who a given change (e.g.,...
Malignant mesothelioma is a tumor arising from serous surfaces and often related to asbestos exposure. resistant various forms of therapy. Radiotherapy, surgery or chemotherapy only slightly improve prognosis. IFN-gamma produces complete partial responses in stage-I patients with malignant mesothelioma. The vitro biological effect on cells remains poorly elucidated. In the present study, 32 well-characterized human cell lines (HMCL) were treated r-hu at 4 doses growth was determined by...
We report a prevalence study of environmental pleural plaques in subjects over 50 years old from the northeastern Corsican village Murato, built on asbestos surface deposits. The percentage was 41%, versus 7.5% control Vezzani. Although deposits contain both chrysotile and tremolite, airborne pollution lung burden exposed inhabitants consist essentially tremolite as assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). However, TEM analysis parietal pleura three animals bred areas showed...
Abstract Background The number of cases pleural mesothelioma in France has varied substantially according to methods assessment. Materials and Methods We collected information from certifying physicians about 316 subjects who died between 1 July 1992 30 June 1993 three regions with a cause death coded as ICD‐9 category 163. ICD codes selected the for 178 deaths January 1987 31 December histologically confirmed diagnosed by an expert committee were examined. Finally, we used this estimate...
In this article, the authors provide clinical recommendations for addressing issues frequently encountered with gamblers during course of cognitive treatment. The main topics covered are ambivalence toward abstinence, denial gambling problem, lying, and relapse prevention strategies. begin article a brief review literature, after which they present case 53-year-old gambler to illustrate interventions. Clinical also offered.
