Homonoia - Concorda - Sammanasya
No full textAnalysis of the divine figures of Homónoia in the Greek pantheon, Concordia in the Roman pantheon, and Sammanasya in the Vedic pantheon. Claudia Santi is the author of Homónoia; Andrzej Gillmeister is the author of Concordia; Antonio Salvati is the author of Sammanasya. As regards Homónoia, the origin of this personified abstraction seems to be traced back to the political debate of Athens in the last 5th century. Maybe it was created by Antiphon as opposed to stásis, both in the meaning of ‘psychic conflict’ and ‘internal political dissensions, civil war’

Feeding disorders in preschoolers: a short-term outcome study in an Italian Family Care Program
No full textPurpose: To provide a description about a cohort of preschoolers with feeding disorders (FD) recruited from the therapeutic nursery "Cerco Asilo" of a tertiary care University Hospital, and to evaluate the short-term clinical outcome after 6 months of multidisciplinary treatment. Methods: The present inception cohort study was based on an observational longitudinal research design comparing families who underwent the multidisciplinary treatment and those who did not. 42 children (47.6% female; 52.4% males-mean age 36.7 months, SD 17.2, range 2.3-65 months) underwent FD assessment according to the DC-0-3R diagnostic criteria (T0). At the end of the assessment, 62% of families with FD children agreed to be included in the family-based treatment. Both treated and untreated children with FD underwent a follow-up clinical evaluation after 6 months (T1) from baseline. Comparison of clinical features at T0 between groups of subjects resolving or not the FD was performed. To evaluate baseline factors associated with FD resolution, principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify new synthetic variables that were then used in a logistics analysis. Moreover, clinical differences between T1 and T0 were compared with a t test. Results: Two third of the cases (66.7%) resolved the FD, while one third (33.3%) did not. Children who had the FD resolved displayed at T0 significant differences in clinical features with respect to those who did not. Specifically, the FD subtype Feeding Disorder of Caregiver-Infant Reciprocity was strongly associated with resolution, while the subtype Infantile Anorexia was not. In addition, the component depicting "Anxious-Depressed", "Mood" and "Isolation" problems was independently associated with a significantly higher probability of resolution, similar to children having FD other than anorexia. Conclusions: FD in preschoolers are associated with problems in emotional development and in the relationship with parents. These difficulties tend to accentuate if the disorder persists. The study suggests the need to investigate the maintaining factors of FD in preschool age. Level of evidence: Level IV: Evidence obtained from multiple time series with and without the intervention

Post-Traumatic Stress Reactions in Caregivers of Children and Adolescents/Young Adults with Severe Diseases: A Systematic Review of Risk and Protective Factors
No full textSevere illnesses in children and adolescents/young adults (AYAs) may represent a complex burden for patients and their caregivers, including a wide range of mental disorders, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Few events are as potentially traumatizing as having a son or a daughter diagnosed with a severe, life-threatening, or disabling disease. The presence of PTSD symptoms in caregivers may compromise their efficacy as caregivers and negatively affect the child's well-being. This systematic review aims at outlining potential risk and protective factors for the development of PTSD symptoms in caregivers of children and AYAs affected by severe acute or chronic illnesses. Thirty-one studies on caregivers of children and AYAs affected by severe, acute, or chronic diseases were included. Socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics, illness-related distress, psychiatric symptoms, support, and coping styles were found as potential risk/protective factors across studies. It is crucial to consider risk factors affecting caregivers of severely ill young patients, in order to plan focused interventions aimed at preventing an adverse clinical outcome in caregivers and at enhancing caregivers' coping skills, in order to ultimately improve their quality of life
