Psychological mediators between risk perception and psychological wellbeing in emergency healthcare workers.

Healthcare workers are subjected to numerous work-related stress factors, which have negative consequences on their physical and mental health, making them a vulnerable group. The recent pandemic caused by the new coronavirus created a high demand for attention from healthcare workers, which put their mental health at risk. This study aimed to test a mediation model in which resilience and the satisfaction of psychological needs play a mediating role in risk perception, the attitude toward the management carried out by the administration, emotional intelligence on psychological wellbeing, and depressive symptoms of frontline professionals.

Proxy- and self-report evaluation of quality of life in cerebral palsy: Using Spanish version of CPQOL for Children and adolescents.

Background: Promoting quality of life (QoL) is one of the main goals in interventions carried out with children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP).

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the determinants of QoL in children with CP, including evaluations by the children themselves and their parents, and to identify discrepancies between evaluators.

Methods And Procedures: The adapted Spanish version of the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life (CP-QOL) for children and adolescents (self-report and primary caregiver-reports versions) was applied to a sample of 74 children with CP and their respective parents (totaling 222 participants), as well as instruments to measure functioning (i.

Redox-associated changes in healthy individuals at risk of Alzheimer's disease. A ten-year follow-up study.

Carrying an allele 4 of the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is the best-established genetic risk factor to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD). Fifty percent of ApoE4/4 individuals develop the disease at 70 years of age. ApoE3/4 carriers have a lower risk of developing the disease, still 50% of them suffer AD at around 80 years.

A multicentric, single arm, prospective, stratified clinical investigation to evaluate MammoWave's ability in breast lesions detection.

Microwave imaging is a safe and promising new technology in breast radiology, avoiding discomfort of breast compression and usage of ionizing radiation. This paper presents the first prospective microwave breast imaging study during which both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects were recruited. Specifically, a prospective multicentre international clinical trial was performed in 2020-2021, to investigate the capability of a microwave imaging device (MammoWave) in allowing distinction between breasts with no radiological finding (NF) and breasts with radiological findings (WF), i.

A Multicentric, Single Arm, Prospective, Stratified Clinical Investigation to Confirm MammoWave's Ability in Breast Lesions Detection.

Novel techniques, such as microwave imaging, have been implemented in different prototypes and are under clinical validation, especially for breast cancer detection, due to their harmless technology and possible clinical advantages over conventional imaging techniques. In the prospective study presented in this work, we aim to investigate through a multicentric European clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT05300464) the effectiveness of the MammoWave microwave imaging device, which uses a Huygens-principle-based radar algorithm for image reconstruction and comprises dedicated image analysis software.
