Understanding social cognition in children with cerebral palsy: exploring the relationship with executive functions and the intervention outcomes in a randomized controlled trial.

Unlabelled: Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) experience Social Cognition (SC) difficulties, which could be related to executive functioning. While motor interventions are common, there is limited knowledge about the impact of cognitive interventions on SC in this population. This study examined the relationship between SC and Executive Function (EF) skills and the effectiveness of an EF intervention that included some SC tasks for improving SC in children with CP.

Effect of compassion-focused therapy on self-criticism and self-soothing: A meta-analysis.

Objective: Compassion is oriented towards perceiving and relieving suffering. Hence, its development is beneficial for mental health. Many interventions aimed at cultivating compassion in patients have been empirically supported.

The use of an antioxidant dressing on hard-to-heal wounds: a multicentre, prospective case series.

Objective: Oxidative stress can contribute to impaired wound healing and chronic wounds. Our objective was to test the results of a new antioxidant dressing that could help stop the oxidative stress of cells in the wound bed.

Method: A multicentre, prospective case study series was conducted in three Spanish hospitals.

Development and preclinical evaluation of a new galactomannan-based dressing with antioxidant properties for wound healing.

We describe a novel wound dressing (HR006) with two components: a lyophilized matrix of the galactomannan from locust bean gum (LBG) and an antioxidant hydration solution (AHsol) containing curcumin and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Physico-structural analyses of the LBG matrix revealed homogeneous interconnected pores with high absorbing capacity showing excellent properties for moist wound care (MWC). In an in vitro oxidative stress fibroblast injury model, the AHsol showed relevant protective effects reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, rescuing cell viability, and regulating expression of inflammation-related genes (COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β).

[Effectiveness of an integrated treatment for severe personality disorders. A 36-month pragmatic follow-up].

Introduction: Over the past 25 years, several studies have shown the efficacy of a number of psychological interventions for severe personality disorders. However, the generalizability of these positive results from long traditional research settings to more ordinary ones has been questioned, requiring a need for replication in pragmatic studies.

Methods: This pragmatic study compares hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits before and during a 6-month therapeutic program for severe personality disorders, and at 36 months after starting it.
