Emotional "Patient-Oriented" Support in Young Patients With I-II Stage Breast Cancer: Pilot Study.

The recent increased survival rate after breast cancer (BC) diagnosis and treatment is mostly related to early screening in younger age.

The Semantic Associative Ability in Preschoolers with Different Language Onset Time.

Aim of the study is to verify the semantic associative abilities in children with different language onset times: early, typical, and delayed talkers. The study was conducted on the sample of 74 preschool children who performed a Perceptual Associative Task, in order to evaluate the ability to link concepts by four associative strategies (function, part/whole, contiguity, and superordinate strategies). The results evidenced that the children with delayed language onset performed significantly better than the children with early language production.
