Riflettere sull'adolescenza
L'adolescenza fa riflettere. Prima di tutto perché è difficilmente indefinibile; è simbolo stesso del cambiamento, della novità, del divenire: in questo non è dunque solo oggetto, ma anche "soggetto" di riflessione. Poi fa riflettere perché troppo spesso è evidentemente un importante segnale delle contraddizioni e delle disfunzioni del mondo adulto
Il problema della continuità tra i Disturbi Mentali nelle diverse età della vita .
Si tratta di una breve revisione che sintetizza il problema indicando: a) i pochi dati disponibili sui Disturbi per i quali vi è sicura continuità su un piano sintomatologico; b) la relazione ripetutamente segnalata tra difficoltà di adattamento nelle prime età della vita e successiva comparsa di diversi Disturbi; c) la possibile chiave di lettura della Psicopatologia dello Sviluppo nella interpretazione della continuità/discontinuità della salute e dei Disturbi Mentali

Psychological features and hygiene habits in supportive periodontal therapy results
The goal of this study was to verify the hypothesis that psychological
features are related to periodontal status and to inquire
into the possible pathway through which it occurs. Twenty-six
patients in good systemic health and only suffering from gingivitis
were recruited and treated with an 18-month follow-up.
Clinical recordings, including full-mouth plaque score (FMPS),
full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS), were assessed at baseline and
at three-monthly periods to the end of the follow-up period.
Details on oral health, attitudes and oral hygiene habits were
stated. Psychological profiling was stated. Unfavorable FMPS
statistical outcome was found in correlation to anxiety (A) and
depression (D). Using the oral hygiene self-reported test, we
observed a favorable FMPS statistical significant outcome in
relation to the number of daily brushings (DB), use of toothpaste
(UT), awareness of role of dental plaque (ADP) and professional
dental care (PDC) and need of dental examination (NDE). Moreover,
we had a favorable FMBS outcome in relation to DB and
ADP. Combining psychological and hygiene tests a favorable
FMPS outcome was maintained in relation to UT, ADP, PDC
and NDE. Favorable FMBS was maintained in relation to DB
and ADP. The study supports the hypothesis that A and D can
play an unfavorable role on the periodontal status. Most probably,
but not exclusively, psychological features can influence
hygienic behavior through discontinuity and irregularity.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
