Towards a general model for psychopathology [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The DSM-1 was published in 1952, contains 128 diagnostic categories, described in 132 pages. The DSM-5 appeared in 2013, contains 541 diagnostic categories, described in 947 pages. The field of psychology is characterised by a steady proliferation of diagnostic models and subcategories, that seems to be inspired by the principle of "divide and inflate".

Is psychosis caused by defective dissociation? An Artificial Life model for schizophrenia [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Both neurobiological and environmental factors are known to play a role in the origin of schizophrenia, but no model has been proposed that accounts for both. This work presents a functional model of schizophrenia that merges psychodynamic elements with ingredients borrowed from the theory of psychological traumas, and evidences the interplay of ...

Sustained Release of Proteins Using Region‐Specific Tunable Degradability in Hydrogels through 3D Photopatterning and Complimentary Labile Bond Chemistry

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A series of ultraviolet‐ and near‐infrared radiation sensitive photoactivatable hydrogels are developed that can be controlled spatiotemporally down to µm precisions using one‐ and two‐photon uncaging. The latent hydroxylamine‐, hydrazine‐, and amine uncaged moieties are used to photopattern a series of diverse proteins displaying complimentary ...

Safety on Judo Children: Methodology and Results [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Many doctors although they have not firsthand experience of judo, describe it as a sport unsuitable for children. Theoretically speaking falls derived by Judo throwing techniques,could be potentially dangerous,especially for kids,if poorly managed.A lot of researches were focalized on trauma or injuries taking place in judo, both during training and ...

Ultra‐Effective Light‐Activated Antibacterial Activity via Carboxyl Functionalized Graphene Quantum Dots and Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Carboxyl‐functionalized graphene quantum dots (cGQDs) exhibit high singlet oxygen quantum yield due to strong spin–orbit coupling. cGQDs achieve minimum bactericidal concentration of only 0.4 µg mL−1 against S. aureus under low‐intensity illumination.

“Therapies Through Gut:” Targeted Drug Delivery for Non‐Gastrointestinal Diseases by Oral Administration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Upper limb cumulative trauma disorders for the orthopaedic surgeon

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2013
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) of the upper limb have become a serious concern in many countries and have been steadily progressing for several decades. The cause of WRMSDs is assumed to be the direct consequence of repetitiveness, extreme postures, and intensive efforts in a problematic psychosocial environment.
