Binge Eating Disorder and Body Uneasiness
No full textDebate continues regarding the nosological status of binge eating disorder (BED) and the specific diagnostic criteria, including whether, like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, it should be characterized by body image disturbances in addition to abnormal eating behaviour. The aims of this article are: a) to concisely review the main points of the literature that has developed on diagnosis and treatment (especially pharmacological) of BED and b) to present the results of an original research on body image in obese patients with BED. The study was aimed to verify the following hypothesis: in persons with obesity, BED is associated with greater body uneasiness independently of some possible modulating factors. We studied a clinical sample of 159 (89 females and 70 males) adult obese patients who fulfilled DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for BED matched to 159 non-BED obese patients for gender, ethnicity, BMI class, age, weight, stature, onset age of obesity, education level, and marital status. We used the Body Uneasiness Test (BUT), a valuable multidimensional tool for the clinical assessment of body uneasiness in subjects suffering from eating disorders and/or obesity. Obese patients with BED reported higher scores than non-BED patients in the General Severity Index (BUT-A GSI) and in every BUT-A subscale. All differences were statistically significant in both sexes. As expected women obtained higher scores than men. According to some other studies, our findings suggest that a negative body image should be included among diagnostic criteria for BED. Consequently, treatment should be focused not simply on eating behaviour and outcome studies should evaluate changes of body image as well
Impact of Bt corn on rhizospheric and soil eubacterial communities and on beneficial mycorrhizal symbiosis in experimental microcosms
No full textA polyphasic approach has been developed to gain knowledge of suitable key indicators for the evaluation of environmental impact of genetically modified Bt 11 and Bt 176 corn lines on soil ecosystems. We assessed the effects of Bt corn (which constitutively expresses the insecticidal toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis, encoded by the truncated Cry1Ab gene) and non-Bt corn plants and their residues on rhizospheric and bulk soil eubacterial communities by means of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analyses of 16S rRNA genes, on the non-target mycorrhizal symbiont Glomus mosseae, and on soil respiration. Microcosm experiments showed differences in rhizospheric eubacterial communities associated with the three corn lines and a significantly lower level of mycorrhizal colonization in Bt 176 corn roots. In greenhouse experiments, differences between Bt and non-Bt corn plants were detected in rhizospheric eubacterial communities (both total and active), in culturable rhizospheric heterotrophic bacteria, and in mycorrhizal colonization. Plant residues of transgenic plants, plowed under at harvest and kept mixed with soil for up to 4 months, affected soil respiration, bacterial communities, and mycorrhizal establishment by indigenous endophytes. The multimodal approach utilized in our work may be applied in long-term field studies aimed at monitoring the real hazard of genetically modified crops and their residues on nontarget soil microbial communities
Il sistema cooperativo-paritetico nell'AIMIT e alleanza terapeutica: studio preliminare sulla validità dei costrutti
No full textLa nascita dell' AIMIT (2008, in stampa) come strumento di analisi
della motivazione interpersonale nei trascritti, apre nuove possi-
bilità nell'analisi di aspetti connessi allo studio dei determinanti
della qualità della relazione terapeutica. In questo lavoro preli-
minare, viene proposto un affiancamento dei concetti di Sistema
Motivazionale lnterpersonale (SMI) Cooperativo- Paritetico, così
come descritto nel manuale AIMIT e di Alleanza Terapeutiea

A sugestão do mussolinismo na experiência formativa e políticas de jorge eliécer gaitán
No full textMany studies, directly or indirectly, have tried to recover the origins of gaitanismo and the elements that contributed to its development. The paper presents a refl ection on the infl uence that mussolinism, as the cult of the leader, had in the formation of gaitanism and underlines the political, cultural and social environment that Jorge Eliécer Gaitan observed during his trip to Benito Mussolini’s Italy in the second half of the Twenties.Muchos estudios, directa o indirectamente, han tratado de recuperar los orígenes del gaitanismo y los elementos que más contribuyeron a su desarrollo. Sobre esta línea, el artículo propone presentar una reflexión sobre la influencia que el mussolinismo, como mística del jefe, tuvo en la formación del gaitanismo, dando cuenta del entorno político, cultural y social que Jorge Eliécer Gaitán observó durante su viaje a la Italia de Benito Mussolini, en la segunda mitad de los años veinte, y que luego influyó en su experiencia políticaBeaucoup d’études, directe ou indirectement, ont essayé de récupérer les origines du gaitanismo et des éléments qui ont plus contribué à son développement. Sur cette ligne, cet article propose de présenter une réfl exion sur l’infl uence que, comme mystique du chef, le mussolinisme a eue dans la formation du gaitanismo, en se rendant compte de l’environnement politique, culturel et social que Jorge Eliécer Gaitán a observé durant son voyage en Italie de Benito Mussolini, dans la deuxième moitié des années vingt, et qu’a infl ué tout de suite sur son expérience politique.Muitos estudos, direta ou indiretamente, foram sobre recuperar as origens do gaitanismo e os elementos que mais contribuíram ao seu desenvolvimento.
