Molts trastorns del moviment observats en pacients esquizofrènics passen desapercebuts, especialment els de lleu o moderada intensitat o bé els associats amb anosognosia. El valor dels moviments extrapiramidals i específicament de la discinèsia i el parkinsonisme com a factor pronòstic en l'esquizofrènia no és ben conegut. En aquest estudi prospectiu, s'estudia la relació de la discinèsia i altres símptomes extrapiramidals amb l'evolució a un any del trastorn en una cohort de 112 pacients en el seu primer episodi de l'espectre esquizofrènic tractat amb antipsicòtics de segona generació.

Abstract:

Background. Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are used widely for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Despite the efficacy of these compounds, they have been associated with a number of adverse events such as weight gain and type II diabetes. Methods. In this study we have performed an interim analysis of a four-month long clinical trial to evaluate the effects of SGA drugs on weight gain in patients with first episode psychosis. A completer’s analysis was performed approximately mid-way through the trial. Anthropometric measures were collected at baseline and

Abstract:

<p> Adherence to psychotropic medication is a critical aspect of treatment for the management of psychotic disorders. While the literature on the need for medication adherence is extensive, little research has explored the relationship between the negative symptoms of psychosis and medication adherence. Since negative symptoms are enduring, stable, and strongly correlated with poor outcome, it is vitally important for research to explore the role of negative symptoms in regards to adherence to psychotropic medication. Given its potentially significant consequences for treatment interventions,

Abstract:

Approximately one in six Canadian children suffer from mental health conditions (MHC), including: anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are increasingly used to treat children with MHCs. Recent evidence suggests that SGAs are implicated in rapid weight gain, increased measures of adiposity, and cardiometabolic dysfunction in the pediatric population. The mechanisms for these adverse side effects have yet to be elucidated. One postulation is that SGAs may increase dietary energy intakes; however, little is known about the diets of SGA-treated childre

This thesis explores the ways in which memories of the communist era in Romania are transmitted to young people with no first-hand experience of those times. It looks at how youth actively contribute to the process of mnemonic socialization, where they are exposed to technologies of memory conveying both nostalgic and anticommunist, state-sponsored, discourses. It argues that in this context young people create their own emotionally imbued versions of the past, ‘second-hand memories’ (Keightley and Pickering, 2012) that result after lengthy and intricate processes of distillation.

This study aims to measure the wage gap between the white and Mexican population residing in the United States. It also looks at male and female first- and second-and-higher generations in both white and Mexican populations. Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) is used for the years 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010. This study finds that first-generation white males are negatively affected by the wage gap, while second-and-higher-generation Mexican females have continuously benefited from the wage gap over the past thirty years.

Abstract:

Establishing a commercial, lignocellulose-based, second-generation ethanol process has received several decades of attention by both researchers and industry. However, a fully economically viable process still remains a long-term goal. The main bottleneck to this achievement is the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic feedstocks, although there are several other factors, such as the huge investment required for second-generation ethanol facilities. An intelligent alternative solution discussed in this thesis is an integrated approach using firstgeneration ethanol plants for second-generation proce
