Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Somatization, and Emotional Dysregulation: A Possible Link
No full textIn clinical practice, it is quite common to deal with patients who primarily express somatic symptoms. They can be distinctive features of depressive disorders, of anxiety disorders, in particular general anxiety disorder, and, less commonly, of somatic symptom disorders. Nonetheless, in several patients, these three conditions could coexist and delineate a clinical picture driven by emotional dysregulation (ED). ED is an emotional response to external stimuli that is poorly modulated and does not fall within the conventionally accepted range of emotive response, which can be characterized by marked and rapid fluctuation of mood, mood lability, weeping crisis, eating problems, and up to behavior outbursts. In our clinical case, a female patient came to our attention reporting headache, gastrointestinal disturbance, hyporexia, and leg restlessness. The diagnostic approach is pictured, and a correct pharmacological treatment is shown in this chapter

Mechanisms underlying center of pressure displacements in obese subjects during quiet stance
No full textAbstract Objective the aim of this study was to assess whether reduced balance capacity in obese subjects is secondary to altered sensory information. Design cross sectional study. Subjects 44 obese (BMI = 40.6 ± 4.6 kg/m2 , age = 34.2 ± 10.8 years, body weight: 114,0 ± 16,0 Kg, body height 167,5 ± 9,8 cm) and 20 healthy controls (10 females, 10 males, BMI: 21.6 ± 2.2 kg/m2, age: 30.5 ± 5.5 years, body weight: 62,9 ± 9,3 Kg, body height 170,1 ± 5,8 cm) were enrolled. Measurements center of pressure (CoP) displacements were evaluated during quiet stance on a force platform with eyes open (EO) and closed (EC). The Romberg quotient (EC/EO) was computed and compared between groups. Results we found statistically significant differences between obese and controls in CoP displacements (p 0.08). Conclusion the increased CoP displacements in obese subjects do not need an hypothesis about altered sensory information. The integration of different sensory inputs appears similar in controls and obese. In the latter, the increased mass, ankle torque and muscle activity may probably account for the higher CoP displacements.</p
Designing a Recommender System for Touristic Activities in a Big Data as a Service Platform.
No full textDesigning e-services for tourist today implies to deal with a large amount of data and metadata that developers should be able to exploit for generating user perceived values. By integrating a Recommender System on a Big Data platform, we constructed the horizontal infrastructure for managing these services in an application-neutral layer. In this chapter, we revise the design choices followed to implement this service layer, highlighting the data processing and architectural patterns we selected. More specifically, we first introduce the relevant notions related to Big Data technologies, we discussed the evolving trends in Tourism, and we introduce fundaments for designing Recommender Systems. This part provides us with a set of requirements to be fulfilled in order to integrate these different components. We then propose an architecture and a set of algorithms to support these requirements. This design process guided the implementation of an innovative e-service platform for tourist operators in Italy
Balance control and balance recovery in obesity
No full textExcessive body weight negatively affects balance. Clinical examination provides insight into the physiopathology and etiology of balance disorders and functional scales can rate its severity. Instrumental evaluation can add further information and provide objective baseline and outcome measures for evidence-based rehabilitation programs. Static posturography focuses on the properties of the center of pressure trajectory using time series. Its utility in clinical practice is limited by absence of a definite normal pattern, lack of standardization in the measurement protocols, and large number of variables computed from the force platform. Recently, some advanced mathematical methods have been proposed to describe the biological signals (entropy and fractal dimension). The increased body mass produces anteroposterior instability in both genders and mediolateral destabilization in males. Proprioceptive exercises together with isometric strengthening of the ankle agonist and antagonist muscles, cardiorespiratory conditioning, and exercises aimed at improving perception of the body should be implemented in the rehabilitation program
