Michael Köhlmeier und das Schweigen Homers
No full textSotera Fornaro untersucht Köhlmeiers Bearbeitungen und Neufassungen der Homerischen Odyssee in Telemach und Kalypso – Texte, in
denen zwischen Mythos und Gegenwart vermittelt wird und die im antiken Stoff genuin moderne Fragestellungen und Problemlagen identifizieren und profilieren. Dass Köhlmeier dabei narrative Strategien Homers
souverän adaptiert und dadurch den Effekt eines »drängenden, fließenden Erzählens« erzeugt gerät dabei ebenso in den Blick wie die Figurenanlage dieser ›Epen‹, in denen »die ganze symbolische Reichweite der homerischen Figuren« ausgelotet werde
Psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire nine-item version (PHQ-9) for use among hospitalized non-psychiatric medical patients
No full textBackground: Depression comorbid with non-psychiatric illness is widely prevalent, and the source of considerable burden. Reliable rating tools to detect depression in the general medical setting are therefore needed across different regions, including Argentina. The present study aimed to compare the psychometric characteristics of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) against each other, using independent criterion for the diagnosis of a major depressive episode (MDE).Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted over six months, screening 257 hospitalized general medical patients across three hospitals. After admission, participants were interviewed by a trained psychiatrist using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), and then each participant went through the administration of PHQ-9, BDI-II, and HADS.Results: For the diagnosis of a MDE according to the MINI, the best cut-off scores were 10 for the PHQ-9, 16 for the BDI-II, and 15 for the HADS. Owing to clinical interpretability issues, a two-factor solution was preferred using exploratory factor analysis (component 1 ?somatic/neurovegetative?, and component 2 ?psychological/cognitive? of depression). The local version of the PHQ-9 had high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=.87). Conclusions: The Argentine version of the PHQ-9 questionnaire showed acceptable validity and reliability for the screening of depressive symptoms.Fil: Daray, Federico Manuel.

Phenomenological, subjective experience and neurobiological aspects of delirium
No full textAfter briefly considering the main clinical manifestations of delirium, the authors concentrate on some aspects of the experience that is indeed lived during the course of this disorder. The opportunity to understand such experience would appear unlikely, although some debate subsists. The only source of information on the topic seems to be the a posteriori report provided by the patient, which inevitably includes the effects of a distorted recollection of the experience actually lived during delirium. However, such an experience would appear especially interesting and worth analyzing due to the deep psychological and ethological meaning that the contents of the hallucinatory and delusional symptoms seem to have. With regards to the neurobiological aspects involved in delirium, it seems that a decrease in central cholinergic activity causes a disturbance of consciousness, whereas an increase in dopaminergic activity appears to be responsible for the clinical manifestations of “hyperactivity” (hallucinations, delusions, insomnia, psychomotor agitation etc...) observed during the disorder. Lastly, the results of recent studies on the pathophysiology of delirium have led to new perspectives which appear to be especially promising from both the heuristic and therapeutic points of view. In fact, it seems that changes in the levels of some cytokines are involved in the pathophysiology of the disorder and that some endogenous substances, such as insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and somatostatin play a neuroprotective role and likely possess therapeutic properties in treating delirium
